no... i actually can move the shifter and drive the car. it just blinks in D4 with a check engine light on. feels like it's in 2nd gear.

Please note:

American Honda Extends Warranties
on Select Automatic Transmissions

American Honda Motor Co., Inc. announced it will provide extended warranties on approximately 1.2 million Honda and Acura models equipped with automatic transmissions due to problems that may result in premature wear or failure. The extended warranty will cover affected transmissions for seven years or 100,000 miles.

The standard bumper-to-bumper warranty for Honda vehicles is three years or 36,000 miles, while Acura vehicles are covered for four years or 50,000 miles.

Vehicles covered by the extended warranty include:

2000 - 2001 Honda Accord, Odyssey and Prelude
2000 - 2002 and some 2003 Acura 3.2 TL
2001 - 2002 and some 2003 Acura 3.2 CL

While only two percent of these vehicles have experienced these transmission problems, American Honda will provide extended transmission warranties on all potentially affected vehicles.

"Our priorities are making sure our customers are taken care of and reassured they can continue to depend on their Honda or Acura automobile for a long time to come," said Tom Elliott, executive vice president for American Honda.

There is usually plenty of warning to the driver that the transmission is not operating properly, such as slow or erratic shifting, giving them ample time to take the vehicle in for service.

American Honda will notify all owners of eligible vehicles via mail

I want to say no but they may offer some type of discount. It's funny that the 5th gen auto trannies usually last the life of the car if properly maintained. WTF didn't they just use that one in the 6th gen cars?

Flash codes aren't worth diddly squat in the newer cars...there are 4 'P"codes that could cause that flash code 70...Get the REAL code read by a scan tool

A phone call will cost you nothing.

I'd suggest mentioning your loyalty to the dealer network, this isn't your first Honda and you're looking to keep this one and buy another.
You get the Idea..........
Be nice, speak clearly.
I don't believe this is limited to original owners

If not full coverage, they may offer a "Good Will Policy Adjustment". It can look like, anything from:
100%
50/50
Honda Pays for Parts / Customer Pays for Labor and incidentals.

Again, give 'em a call
