2006 Honda Odyssey: engine stalls while driving

Filed Jun 10, 2019 · 82,500 miles · TX

My husband and I was driving on the freeway out of town for a wedding when all of a sudden we started to smell a really bad smell and the van started to make a noise and sputtering. We quickly exited the next closest exit and the van started to stall. We were not able to accelerate any more. We were already 82 miles from home and not near any businesses. We called roadside service which towed us to the nearest mechanic who told us we needed a new transmission. Our trip was over! We had to pay $350 to tow us back home. My van only has 82,000 miles! I can't believe the transmission failed! This is a safety issue because their were no prior warning before the transmission failure!!!

On 10/10/2014 while driving the car through an intersection going 45 MPH the dashboard lights and the engine shut down. The vehicle would not start and we narrowly avoided an accident while coasting through the intersection. The vehicle would not start again and we pushed the vehicle into a parking lost space. While waiting for someone to jump the car the vehicle start again. Again on 10/11/2014 while turning into a shopping center parking lot the vehicle's engine shut off without warning and would not start again. This again almost resulted in an accident. At this time we consider this vehicle no safe to operate if the vehicle will shut off while driving without warning.
