That may be. I was told that the "warranty labor cost" would be about $575 -
$600 so I can only take their word for it. I can't help but wonder though
(being human and cynical by nature the way I am) if Honda wouldn't have told
the dealer to replace it "at no cost to the customer" and they're just
telling me to pay the labor costs so they can pocket the extra cash for
themselves. I'm tempted to call Honda myself to see if they even called
Honda and what was said about it.

Hmmmm. That could be, of course. But I have extensive experience in
this, going back 20 years. I had a 79 Civic with a rusting gas tank
that started leaking; Honda bought me the tank and I paid the labor.

I have a 2004 Odyssey with 1500 miles on it. Today
I got TCS and check engine signs on the dashboard, and the vechecle stops
at low speeds...

What are my options? Do I get a new Van as a replacement?

Please respond.

thanks,

Of course you won't get a new van.

Take it back to the dealer and they will fix it under warranty.
