Consumer Description

MY 2003 HONDA ACCORD TRANSMISSION FAILED AT ONLY 84000 MILES. THE CAR SUDDENLY DECELERATED FROM 65 TO 45 MILES PER HOUR ON THE FREEWAY. LUCKILY IT WAS NOT RUSH HOUR. MY 1 YEAR OLD SON WAS IN THE CAR WITH ME. NO RECALLS HAVE BEEN ISSUED EVEN THOUGH NUMEROUS PEOPLE HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE WITH THEIR 2003 ACCORDS. UPON INSPECTION, I WAS TOLD THE TRANSMISSION HAS A SHIFT MALFUNCTION AND IS STUCK IN 3RD GEAR. NEEDS REPLACEMENT WITH COST OF $3900. THE CAR IS UNDRIVEABLE AT THIS POINT WITHOUT REPAIR. *TR
