Consumer Description

I HAVE A '98 ACCORD V6 AUTOMATIC, AT SLIGHTLY OVER 100K MILES THE\ TRANSMISSION STARTED FAILING - SLIPPING, THEN SUDDENLY SHIFTING INTO 1ST AT 50MPH, THEN SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL (ALL OF THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AT STEADY SPEEDS ON HIGHWAYS, NO REASON FOR THE TRANS TO DO ANY SHIFT, MUCH LESS 2 OR 3 GEARS SUDDENLY.) $3K TO REPLACE, NOW THE REPLACEMENT IS STARTING TO FAIL WITH 40K ON IT. JUST FOUND OUT IT'S A KNOWN DEFECT WITH ACCORDS FROM '97 -'02, "ESPECIALLY THE V6" (CHECK MSNAUTOS.COM OR EDMUNDS.COM FOR MORE INFO.) A MECHANIC SHOWED ME A HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN ON IT, BUT HONDA HAS NEVER STEPPED UP TO THE PLATE. MY 3RD ACCORD AND LAST HONDA, NEXT CAR IS TOYOTA AFTER YEARS AWAY. *TR
