Consumer Description

TRANSMISSION WENT OUT ON 2004 HONDA ACCORD WITH ONLY 80K MILES. WAS ON BUSY ROAD AND I WAS LUCKY THAT I WASN'T HIT AS I JERKED AND SLOWED AND SOUGHT A WAY TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. NO INDICATION THE TRANS WAS FAILING UNTIL SYMPTOMS BEGAN AND GOT WORSE IN A HURRY. CONSEQUENCES ARE TOWING TO SHOP AND EXPENSIVE REPAIRS WHICH ARE BEING MADE NOW. HONDA SAID I HAD TO BRING IT IN TO THEIR SHOP AND THEY HAD TO DO ANY REPAIRS. NO PRICE OR OFFER OF FINANCIAL HELP..JUST A "MAYBE" HONDA WOULD OFFER A "GOODWILL" DISCOUNT. DECIDED NOT TO TRY HONDA AS OTHERS ONLINE TOLD OF THE EXCEEDINGLY HIGH CHARGES HONDA IMPOSES. FEEL IT WAS A SAFETY RISK THAT SHOULD NEVER HAD HAPPENED. HONDA APPARENTLY HAS A HISTORY OF TRANSMISSION FAILURES FOR SEVERAL YEAR MODELS. SEEMS THEY PROFIT FROM NOT CORRECTING THE PROBLEM IF THEY REQUIRE THEM TO REPAIR AND CHARGE MORE THAN ANY PRIVATE SHOP. *TR
