Consumer Description

WHEN DRIVING THE 2008 HONDA ACCORD TO REVERSE AND THEN ACCELERATE FORWARD, THE TRANSMISSION IS MAKING A NOISE (PRODUCING A DULL SOUND LIKE THUMP). BROUGHT THIS CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY CLAIM IT IS A NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC OF A DESIGN. THE NOISE IS NOT NORMAL WHEN THERE'S A NOISE COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION. I WROTE AND CALLED THE AMERICAN HONDA AND THEY SAID THE SAME THING. I WAS TOLD THEY WILL INFORM THE DESIGN TEAM AND ENGINEERS ABOUT MY COMPLAINT AND THAT I SHOULD HEAR FROM THEM (I AM SKEPTICAL). *TR
