Van has 159000 miles on it. while driving, transmission slips while shifting. shudders and jerks while shifting. a road hazard, concerned it may cause being rear ended by other vehicles.

I took my van to honda and was advised that the transmission needs to be replaced. it will not shift into 2nd gear 99% of the time. my van only has 111,000 miles on it and i am concerned as to why it was not included in the recall of the transmission on this year/make/model. i am still making payments on it and was told a new transmission from honda would be $4500. there is no reason a transmission should go out at 111,000 miles when it has been well maintained through honda over the years. my car will not go above 20 miles an hour on most occasions. if i rev the engine high and get it over 30, then it will change to 2nd gear. it is a safety hazard when trying to merge onto interstates and i have been almost hit a few times. i cannot accelerate to a safe, merging speed. my drive light continuously flashes and my tcs will come on from having to rev the engine. i have 3 kids and i do not feel safe driving this with them in it. can this be included in the recall? please let me know. thank ...
