My wife and I bought a brand new 2000 Honda Odyssey from Norm Reeves
Honda of Huntington Beach, CA. One day we received a letter from Honda
explaining that the transmission was defective and that the
transmission warranty would be extended to 100,000 miles and 7 years.
Great! Sure enough, this year, 2004, the transmission started acting
up. I called Norm Reeves, my dealer, and was informed that not only
would they not look at it on a Saturday they would not repair it on a
Saturday. Furthermore, Norm Reeves Honda would require 4 days, or more,
to repair it. Well, surely they would supply me with a loaner until the
repairs had been completed, since it was they who had sold me the
defective van. I talked to everyone that I could; no one would help me.
I would have to rent a car for the full time the Odyssey was in the
shop. No guarantees how long that would be. I then started sending
emails to Norm Reeves (contacthb@normreeves.com) , 20 in all, asking
for someone to contact me. I did not get one response. That is why I
find myself here to tell anyone who would listen.

DON’T BUY CARS FROM HONDA AND ESPECIALLY NOT FROM NORM REEVES HONDA OF
HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA.

Next time it'll be a Toyota.

Well, now that you've put his e-mail in a newsgroup you can be sure that
it will be harvested by a spammer and he'll change his e-mail address
(if it was every monitored, who knows) after it fills with garbage on a
daily basis!

Hey! That looks like an e-mail addy you use??? Oops.

Unfortunately, I don't think you can blame the company for a bad dealer
(my fear when I've been looking the last couple of weeks). Many I know
who own a Honda are satisfied. Did you try the local BBB or the region
manager (or whatever they call it at Honda)? Maybe you can get some $$
back...

Why do you bring this up again? You posted a rant about this back in
March also, did you get another defective tranny?
