Never buy a Honda with auto trans...that's their weakest component...always has been.

followup for mikev77: In the early 90s I was working as a tech at a Honda New Car Stealerhip. The 1990 and up Accords were having their auto trans replaced by Honda up to 100,000 miles...yet it was a hush hush deal...free it was if you knew to ask.
Also my xwife had a 2000 Odyssey van. Trans crapped out. Cost to repair about 3800 dollars. She had lots of miles on the car in very few years time...her job required driving about 45k per year. A year later, Honda gave her the money back.
Not sure about most recent Hondas, yet it's been a problem, auto trans that is, since early 1980s, don't expect it's changed much...but I have no data.

As for the FRS, yea, take it in, should be covered and repaired no cost to you.
