01 ody gets 4th tranny

My wifes 01 ody with 100,067 miles just got its 4th tranny put in. I
would think after 4 Honda would have the kinks worked out by now but
guess not. The van has never been abused nor towed anything. Is there
anything to make these things last longer than 25k to 30k? The van has
otherwise been a great vehicle but Im leary of the ody now and it will
freeze in Hades before I buy a Toyota.(long story) I will say Honda has
great CS compared to uncaring crappy Toyota. The reason I chose the ody
was after owning chrysler and dealing with bad trannys thought the ody
would be an improvement.

 

05 Tundra Question.

If you still have the Tundra, I was having the same problem. Over about
a 5 month time it went from the same to seriously worse. After finally
getting the check engine light to stay on it was a cracked cylinder
head. They checked multiple items from the reading of the check engine
light and couldn't figure it out. The mechanic finally checked each
spark plug and cylinder and noticed #3 cylinder plug had condensation
on it. After cleaning it and trying again they determined that the
condensation was anti-freeze. They are replacing the head and I don't
know what else. It is still in the shop, 14K miles on it. If you don't
have the Tundra, sorry for this post.

 

I got rid of that thing after fighting with Toyota and getting no where.
I lucked out to because you can now get an 06 brand new one for what I
sold my 05 for. Never been happier to dump a vehicle!
