Consumer Description

HI, SEVERAL YEARS AGO I REPORTED TO NHTSA (AND CORPORATE HONDA)THAT MY HONDA ACCORD HAD SERIOUS TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. A NHTSA ENGINEER TELEPHONED ME AND DID IN FACT GO OUT TO A DEALER TO INVESTIGATE MY ALLEGATION. NO ACTION WAS TAKEN BY NHTSA AND HONDA DID NOTHING TO FIX THE TRANSMISSION DEFECT. TODAY, SOME YEARS AFTER MY COMPLAINT, I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOPS ARE EXPERIENCING A LARGE AND UNUSUAL INCREASE IN TRANSMISSION FAILURES OF THE HONDA ACCORD, 4 AND 6-CYLINDER. FAILURES ARE OCCURRING AT 40,000 TO 60,000 MILES. HONDA DEALERSHIPS HERE IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ARE NOT PAYING FOR THESE PREMATURE FAILURES, INSTEAD OWNERS ARE PAYING $6,000.000 FOR NEW TRANMISSIONS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. YOURS VERY TRULY, PETER REITER/[email protected]
