Consumer Description

MY 2004 ACCORD EX FAILED YESTERDAY ON THE FREEWAY, DROPPING FROM 65 TO 20 MPH AND THEN ZERO AND GETTING ME ALMOST REAR-ENDED IN HEAVY MORNING TRAFFIC WHILE TRYING TO MOVE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I CALLED AAA AND THEY CONTACTED A TOWING COMPANY AND THE LOCAL POLICE DEPARTMENT. CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE GARAGE AND WE'VE JUST BEEN TOLD IT NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION ($3800). WE CALLED HONDA TO CHECK ON KNOWN ISSUES BUT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ASSURED US THAT HE WAS NOT AWARE OF ANY ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL. THERE WAS NO INDICATION ON THE DASH THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM AND THIS HAPPENED VERY SUDDENLY. I WAS VERY LUCKY THAT THIS FAILURE DID NOT LEAD TO A MAJOR ACCIDENT. PLEASE ADVISE ON. *TR
