Acura of Salem and Acura Customer Service both refused to address the defective transmission situation despite known issues and a partial recall. They stated that car was out of warranty as their justification. I sold my car in as is condition to local mechanic for half it’s value due to bad transmission, loosing $3500 in the process. I voted with my business and bought a '08 Infinity G35. No longer a loyal Honda/Acura customer.

04-06 actually. In 07 they replaced the transmission with the one from the RL, which has not had reliability issues.

I’ve 2002 Honday Odyssey with 112,000 miles and i had Transmission failure yesterday coming back from Christmas trip. Took the van to Honda dealer and they told me that i need new transmission. The cost is about $4,000 to $5,000. I will NEVER buy another HONDA again.  
I should to have bought TOYOTA Van.
