2002 honda odyssey was experiencing some vibration in march on trip to chicago which mechanic attributed to engine mounts as it occurred at 60-80 MPH. On june 30 while driving highway 400 north of atlanta on way to wedding the vibrations became unmanageable. So, I pulled over to see if I had a flat to find the uniroyal tiger paw of a year old coming apart. It seems the steel belt broke and the tire tread started shredding. I still have the same tire on the front drivers side; should I be concerned it will happen again? Anyway, I had to replace at local store on a sunday to return home to huntsville, al. Took the bad tire to big ten tire where purchased to be told this was road hazard and they'd sell me a new tire for $70. I disagreed and decided to see if uniroyal has a problem? Tire was purchased at $106.

This complaint does not concern a failure. It does however address a recalled tire valve stem, tech international / tr413. After having 4 new tires and valve stems installed on my 2002 honda odyssey minivan about 2 weeks ago, I learned of the recall notice in consumer reports magazine. Since then I went to walmart store in kenner, la.(suburb of new orleans) where the valve stems were installed and got one of the stems that are currently being installed and it is a tr413. As yet I have not had a problem with any of the 4 stems that were recently replaced, however I am concerned about their recall and their current availability and use at a major retailer. I also went to sam's club in kenner la. And found that they had the same stem on hand there too I plan to have the stems on my van replaced asap as tech international has offered to do so upon my request. My main concern is why the valve stems in question have not been removed from inventory at walmart, sam's and any other outlets that received them ? According to consumer reports magazine, a fatal rollover crash has already occurred in orlando, fla. And 2 recalls have been issued by tech international since then.

While driving at 70mph on interstate 65 near montgomery, alabama there was a sudden transmission failure in our 2002 honda odyssey resulting in the front wheels locking up and the vehicle skidding to a halt. The vehicle came to rest in the left lane of the interstate. We exited the vehicle quickly and called 911. A couple of squad cars responded within a few minutes. We could not disengage the transmission so were unable to push the vehicle to a safe place. There were some close calls but no accidents from other vehicles trying to avoid our stranded minivan. Eventually got the vehicle towed to a honda dealership in montgomery (mcconnell) where we were told that the transmission was indeed locked up and would need to be replaced along with both drive shafts and both front tires. We contacted american honda to see if they would cover the cost of repairs because (in our view) this is a defective transmission. Was initially told no because our mileage of 100594 was outside the warranty and our 2002 model year was not covered under the extended transmission warranty give to model years ending in 2001. After a week of haggling american honda did not admit to this being a defect but did agree to cover 80% of the repair cost through goodwill. Our final bill was $1301.71 for a remanufactured transmission, 2 new drive shafts and 2 new tires.
