Consumer Description

MY TRANSMISSION IS SHIFTING HARD ON MY 2003 HONDA ACCORD AND I WAS TOLD THAT I HAD TO HAVE THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSIN REPLACED. TRANSMISSION FAILURE WITH THE HONDA ACCORD AND CIVIC IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM IN MODELS MADE FROM THE EARLY 2000S. THE 2003 HONDA ACCORD AND 2001 HONDA CIVIC APPEAR TO BE THE WORST YEARS FOR TRANSMISSION FAILURE. CURRENTLY THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THE TRANSMISSION DEFECT, BECAUSE IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE (ACCORDING TO THE NHTSA). THE COST TO REPLACE A TRANSMISSION IS INCREDIBLE AND I THINK THAT HONDA SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THIS REPAIR WHEN THEY KNOW IT'S A PROBLEM WITH THEIR PRODUCT. IT MAY NOT BE LISTED AS A SAFETY ISSUE ACCORDING TO NHTSA BUT THE TRANSMISSION CAN GO OUT AT ANY TIME (WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED) AND CAUSE DANGER TO ALL THOSE INVOLVED, NOT TO MENTION THE INCONVENIENCE OF BEING STRANDED!
