Consumer Description

MY 1997 PRELUDE SS HAD A TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND IT DECIDED TO GO ON ME, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, WHILE TRAFFIC WAS BEHIND ME. SO, I DECIDED TO CONTACT HONDA AND MAKE THEM SEE THE ISSUE, INSTEAD I RECEIVED A NO ANSWER, WHICH WAS A PRETTY LAME EXCUSE TO NOT REPLACE A TRANSMISSION FAILURE IN ALL 97-99 HONDA PRELUDE CARS, SO, THE SERVICE MANAGER DECIDED TO RETRY THE HONDA USA NUMBER, AND THEY GOT ME THROUGH AND REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION UNDER A NON-TRANSMISSION WARRANTY. SO, MY POINT IS THAT HONDA MUST COMPLY WITH A TRANSMISSION WARRANTY ON ALL THESE CARS, AND NOT JUST THE NEWER MODELS, BECAUSE IT IS UNFAIR TO HAVE A TRANSMISSION WHICH WILL EVENTUALLY FAIL, AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN. SO, WITH ALL THIS SAID, I WANT TO MAKE SURE SOMETHING WILL BE DONE REGARDING THIS ISSUE. THANKS. *LA
