Consumer Description

I JUST TOOK OFF FOR WORK AND MY CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE AND MADE A TERRIBLE WHINING SOUND. IT WOULD NOT GO ABOVE 4. I TRY TO TAKE GOOD CARE OF MY CAR AND SINCE HONDAS SUPPOSEDLY LAST A LONG TIME I DID NOT THINK SOMETHING LIKE THIS WOULD HAPPEN AROUND 143,500 MILES. I COULD HAVE BEEN HIT SINCE I LIVE RIGHT ON A ROAD WHERE PEOPLE ARE CONSTANTLY SPEEDING BY, BUT WAS LUCKY IT WAS NOT A BUSY TIME OF DAY. I HAVE EVEN BROUGHT THE CAR INTO HONDA TO LOOK AT THE TRANSMISSION FOR SLIPPING. THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT I JUST NEED TO WARM THE CAR UP BEFORE I DRIVE IT. CLEARLY THAT WASN'T HELPFUL AT ALL. *TR
