Consumer Description

HONDA HAS A TRANSMISSION DESIGN FLAW IN THEIR EARLY 2000 HONDA ACCORDS. I OWN A 2002 ACCORD WITH 107,000 MILES THAT REQUIRES A NEW TRANSMISSION. I WAS SURPRISED BECAUSE THIS BRAND IS KNOWN TO BE RELIABLE. UPON RESEARCHING HONDA TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS ONLINE, I FOUND SEVERAL ARTICLES AND MULTIPLE CONSUMER COMPLAINTS REGARDING HONDA TRANSMISSION FAILURE. HONDA DID RECALL TRANSMISSIONS IN CERTAIN MODELS FROM 2003 AND 2004. AMERICA HONDA KNOWS THEY HAVE A PROBLEM AND THEY DECLINED TO ASSIST ME WITH THE REPAIR BECAUSE MY 2002 ACCORD WAS NOT ONE OF THE RECALL MODELS. I AM NOW STUCK WITH $3,600 REPAIR BILL FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION. ALMOST HAD A WRECK WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC SINCE THE CAR DID NOT ENGAGE 2ND GEAR. *TR
