Consumer Description

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH A CODE OF P0740. HAD CAR CHECKED AND TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG, RESET LIGHT. MIL CAME ON AGAIN AND TOOK CAR TO BROWN'S HONDA IN GLEN BURNIE. CHARGED ME ANOTHER $90 TO TELL ME THE LIGHT HAD THE SAME CODE P0740 AND THEY CHANGED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. THEY SAID NOT SURE IF IT IS FIXED. IF LIGHT COMES BACK ON BROWN'S HONDA SAID I WOULD EITHER HAVE TO REPLACE THE TORQUE CONVERTER OR THE TRANSMISSION, THEY ARE NOT SURE. CAR DRIVES FINE BUT BROWN'S HONDA CAN'T TELL ME IF THERE SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE TORQUE CONVERTER OR TRANSMISSION. THEY TOLD ME TO WAIT AND SEE IF THE LIGHT COMES BACK ON. ASKED BROWN'S IF THEY HAVE SEEN TORQUE CONVERTER FAILURES IN 2001 CIVICS. CHRIS RESPONDED RUDELY "DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY HONDA CIVICS ARE OUT THERE". I REPEATED MY QUESTIONS AND WAS TOLD "YES" SHE HAS SEEN TORQUE CONVERTER FAILURES ON THE 2001 HONDA CIVICS. *AK
