My transmission has almost completely went out

The van completely shuts down no matter where I am. When I try to turn it back on the green key light DOES NOT appear on the dash. The van will still crank but will not turn over. Until the green key light appears on the left side of the dash. I have to sit anywhere from 5 minutes up until 8 hours one day. It does this 3 to 4 times a day. The only warning I get is the green key will start flashing on the dash that's when I know it has shut down. I feel like it has something to do with the immobilizer. Because of the green key. I have changed my key fob battery , regular battery, checked all the fuses. This is very dangerous, it has left my family and myself in some deadly positions. Dar and raining it has shut off on the highway with barely any shoulder to pull off on. Cars and trucks driving past at 60 to 70 miles per hour in the dark and rain a few times we were almost hit. There is nothing I can do but sit and wait for the green key to appear then I know we are in safe zone again until u expectantly it decides to do it again. 😩This is so frustrating leaving for work or appointments I have no clue what time to leave because the shut down is random. I have searched many videos on how to disengage the immobilizer or these click your key 6 times forwards and backwards press the lock and unlock on key fob. NOTHING HAS WORKED. When I purchased the vehicle he gave me all 3 keys I'm assuming valet and 2 main keys and the key fob. Please anybody know anything please help me and my

I was involved in a traffic collision on December 15, 2023. The California DMV requires a brake and light inspection for a salvage retention reregistration of my car. After going to two brake and light shops they will not perform a brake and light inspection due to a recall P30 04V-176. I went to a Honda dealer to get the recall fixed and they said they cannot or will not perform the recall as it is not needed. Please let me know what I can do to fix this issue as I don’t see what and why the brake and light inspections cannot be done and I need them completed.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The transmission How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? When I was on the highway the car lost power and I was almost rear-ended by a car when I was stopped on the freeway on my way to the doctor. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? No, I am a recent buyer and do not have much information about previous problems with this vehicle. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No, when it broke down, I just called the tow truck and they transported it to a mechanic and the mechanic put the machine in to find out what the fault was, and he told me and showed me that the fault was in the transmission and the cost would be $1800 to $2000 dollars or so to fix it. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? Yes, before the breakdown the car turned on a light that I didn't recognize but I kept going because I was on the freeway and a few meters ahead the accelerator didn't respond, so I had to pull off the road to call the tow truck.

06/04/2021 2002 Honda Odyssey - Aftermarket Fuel Pump Lock Ring - Multiple Failures Safety Issue = Gasoline leaking out of the tank onto the ground. Starting in 2019, three aftermarket fuel pump lock rings have failed on one 2002 Honda Odyssey. The lock rings were all made of plastic. The OEM Honda lock ring was also made of plastic and after 17 years did not fail, but was replaced when a new fuel pump was installed. A DELPHI model FG0956 fuel pump had two lock ring failures. The third lock ring failure was on a AIRTEX model E8642M fuel pump. The torque spec per Honda for the fuel pump lock ring is a hefty 69 FT LBS or 93 NM. An SK click type torque wrench model 73100 was used on the installs, as was a fuel tank lock ring tool LISLE model 63000. All the lock rings were at first hand tightened to prevent cross threading before using the torque wrench. The SK torque wrench used has never been known to over torque bolts. The third lock ring for AIRTEX was torqued to about 60 FT LBS due to the prior failures. No warning lights or messages appeared when the lock ring fails. All failed within one year of install. Failure detected by noticing the smell of gasoline, especially outside the vehicle and sometimes inside the vehicle. Each of the failed lock rings split, and then gasoline starts leaking out of the top of the tank at the fuel pump and onto the ground. The fuel pump will start to rise above the tank due to it being spring loaded and the lock ring failing. The problem is mos

MY VEHICLE TELLS ME THE PASSENGER AIRBAG ISNT WORKING THEN IT TURNS OFF SO SOMETHING ELECTRONICLY IS MESSED UP.

THIS COMPLAINT IS A CORRECTION TO COMPLAINT 11375900 WHICH REFERENCED AN INCORRECT RECALL NUMBER. REMOVAL OF THE IGNITION KEY WHEN THE GEAR SELECTOR IS NOT IN PARK ALLOWS THE VEHICLE TO ROLL AWAY WHEN ON A SLIGHT INCLINE. THIS SYMPTOM IS IDENTICAL TO RECALL 12V573000 WHICH MY HONDA DEALER SAYS APPLIES ONLY TO MODEL YEARS 2003 AND 2004. HOWEVER THE RECALL NOTICE SAYS IT COULD APPLY TO VEHICLES MANUFACTURED AS EARLY AS NOVEMBER 2001. MY VAN WAS MANUFACTURED IN 11/01.
