NHTSA Complaint #10334807 — 2002 HONDA CIVIC

I WOULD LIKE TO FILE A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE 2002 HONDA CIVIC LX MODEL. THE CAR STARTED TO SPEED UP/SLOW DOWN AND THEN STOPPED. IT WAS THE TORQUE CONVERTER'2ND GEAR COMING OFF AND 3RD GEAR NOT COMING IN. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND I'VE READ THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THE 2002 HONDA CIVIC AND THE TRANSMISSION ISSUES. I ALSO FOUND MANY TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS REGARDING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. I ONLY COPIED THE FEW THAT I THINK ARE SPECIFIC TO THE ISSUE THAT I HAD: # TSB #11012004 -- MANUAL TRANSMISSION GRINDS SHIFTING TO 3RD GEAR. HONDA SERVICENEWS. *TT (NHTSA ID #10013656, NOVEMBER 01 2004) # TSB #204 -- 2ND TO 5TH OR 3RD TO 5TH GEAR UPSHIFT. *NM (NHTSA ID #10014230, FEBRUARY 16 2004) # TSB #02012004 -- SERVICE MANUAL FIX. MANUAL TRANSMISSION MAINSHAFT REASSEMBLY. CORRECTION TO JANUARY '04 ISSUE. HONDA SERVICENEWS. *TT (NHTSA ID #10009134, FEBRUARY 01 2004) # TSB #01012004 -- MANUAL TRANSMISSION MAINSHAFT REASSEMBLY. SERVICE MANUAL FIX. HONDA. SERVICENEWS. *TT (NHTSA ID #10009080, JANUARY 01 2004) # TSB #10162004 -- GRINDS AT 2-3 UPSHIFT. *EH (NHTSA ID #10014470, OCTOBER 16 2004) IF HONDA KNOWS OF THE ISSUES WHY WON'T THEY RECALL AND MAKE NECESSARY REPAIRS? TURNS OUT THIS IS A VERY WELL KNOWN PROBLEM IN HONDA CIVIC 2002 MODELS BUT HONDA IS NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. A COMPLETE NEW TRANSMISSION NECESSARY AT 48,375 MILES! WELL, WE NEED THE CAR. THERE IS NO BUS TRANSPORTATION TO THE CITY. THE WORK WAS DONE ON 04/12/2010. THE COST TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT: PARTS AND ACCESSORIES: $1913.54 LABOR: $951.44 TAX: $68.33 FOR A GRAND TOTAL OF: $2933.31. THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE THE $350.00 TO REMOVE THE TRANSMISSION AND DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. AND I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE TO EXPERIENCE THIS? HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT HONDA DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THIS AS AN ISSUE. *TR
