Consumer Description

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AND SUDDENLY TRANSMISSION SHIFTED DOWN INTO 1ST GEAR AND STUCK. I CALLED HONDA CARE (2003 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID) AND ASKED THEM TO PAY FOR THESE REPAIRS BECAUSE OF A LONG HISTORY OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS TRANSMISSION. THEY HAVE ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY (7YRS/100,000MILES) FOR THIS TRANSMISSION TO AVOID A RECALL, BUT WILL NOT LET ME USE IT BECAUSE THE CAR CARRIES A SALVAGE TITLE...WHICH HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE TRANSMISSION THAT HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR THIS VEHICLE FROM THE BEGINNING. IF THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL ON THIS TRANSMISSION, THEY WOULD BE REQUIRED TO REPLACE IT. THEY ARE SOMEHOW GETTING AROUND A RECALL BY SAYING IT ISN'T A SAFETY ISSUE. BUT, I DISAGREE. IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING THIS HIGHWAY AT NORMAL TRAFFIC HOURS, I WOULD HAVE BEEN REAR-ENDED AT 60+MPH. THAT IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME EXPERIENCE. THEY SHOULD BE FORCED TO DO A RECALL. *TR
