| We bought a 1999 honda odyssey from carmax and the first week that we got the car the check engine light came on and we took it to carmax. according to them they fixed the problem and everything was fine the engine light went off. then when it came back on for the same problem they apparently fixed it again. this happened a few times. now we didn't have warranty and our van was acting up. the transmission would give a jerk when going from 1st to 2nd gear. the egr ports were clogged and the catalytic converter was messed up from day 1. we took it to our honda dealership and they said it wasn't the transmission, but it was. about a 4 months later it got really bad and we had to get our transmission rebuilt, the ignition switch problem started also (the car engine would stall randomly and it we would have to stop the car on the shoulder of the freeway and restart the car going at 60 mph+), now we spent 2500 bucks to get everything fixed. but now our electrical system is bad. the in dash lights don't work and the back lights don't work. the doors just died for some reason. one second the handles would work and the next second the handles are dead from inside. our alarm system doesn't work either because of the electric problem. all we want is our car to be fixed. we've been lied to by carmax and the honda dealership over and over. can you guys just help us fix our car? *nm | |||
