Consumer Description

ON THE WAY TO WORK, MY 2002 HONDA CIVIC SUDDENLY STOPPED SHIFTING GEARS, THEN STOPPED RUNNING ALTOGETHER WITHOUT ANY WARNING. IT STOPPED SHIFTING WHILE I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE AND I HAD TO PULL ONTO THE SHOULDER TO KEEP FROM GETTING HIT BY OTHER CARS PASSING ME AS MY CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I HAD NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS OR ENGINE DAMAGE TO THE CAR PRIOR TO THIS POINT AND IT WAS VERY SUDDEN. WHEN I TOWED IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP THEY TOLD ME I WOULD NEED A WHOLE NEW TRANSMISSION AND WOULD COST ME $4200!!! I AM LOOKING AROUND TO GET A 2ND OPINION AND PRICE AS THAT SEEMS AWFULLY HIGH FOR A TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT. *TR
