Consumer Description

MY 1998 HONDA ACCORD 2.3L WITH ONLY 117K MILES DEVELOPED TRANSMISSION SHIFTING ISSUES THAT WOULD EITHER LEAVE ME WITHOUT POWER BY SLIPPING OR DROP ME FROM 4TH GEAR SUDDENLY INTO 2ND. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I NEARLY RESULTED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AS I WAS TRAVELING ON A FREEWAY AT 65 MPH. HONDA SAYS THERE IS NO RECALL OF THESE TRANSMISSIONS AND NO EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT THE NUMBER OF REPORTED FAILURES IN 1997 VERSUS 1998 MODELS SHOWS THAT THERE IS CLEARLY A SERIOUS POTENTIAL OF CATASTROPHIC FAILURES INTRODUCED IN 1998. HONDA REFUSED TO FIX THIS AND I HAD TO SPEND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO REBUILD THE TRANSMISSION. *JB
