Consumer Description

MY 18 YR DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING ON A 4 LANE INTERSTATE ON A FRIDAY IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. THE AVERAGE SPEED ON THIS ROAD AT THIS TIME OF DAY IS 70-75MPH . SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING HER TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE CAR ESSENTIALLY WENT INTO NEUTRAL. LUCKILY SHE WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER THE CAR TO THE SHOULDER. SHE COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN HIT AND MORE THAN LIKELY THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A MULTICAR ACCIDENT. I CONTACTED HONDA AND THEY SAID THEY ONLY WERE AWARE OF PROBLEMS WITH THE ODYSSEY AND ACCORD MANUFACTURED APPROX. 1999-2002. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THERE WERE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS WITH THE CIVIC (OUR CAR IS A 2001 CIVIC). HOW MANY COMPLAINTS AND NEAR MISS ACCIDENTS WILL IT TAKE FOR HONDA TO BE BROUGHT TO TASK FOR THIS DEFECT? *TR
