Consumer Description

I OWN A 2002 HONDA CIVIC LX WHICH IS NOTORIOUS FOR TRANSMISSION FAILURES. I BECAME PRO ACTIVE ABOUT IT WHEN THE AUTOMATIC SHIFTING STARTED TO SLIP. I HAD IT LOOKED AT AND TESTED SEVERAL TIMES, INCLUDING AN ENTIRE DAY WITH THE HONDA DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED IT FROM. I EVEN SENT A LETTER IN 2009 TO AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.THEY ALL INSISTED IT WAS FINE. ON JULY 8, 2011 WHILE DRIVING ON A NARROW MOUNTAIN ROAD IN THE ROCKIES, THE TRANSMISSION WENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED AND REPLACED AND REBUILT. I DO HAVE THE OLD PARTS. HONDA, WHEN CONTACTED BASICALLY SAID THEY WOULD DO NOTHING. THIS IS A LONG STANDING PROBLEM AND HONDA HAS KNOWN ABOUT IT FOR MANY YEARS. DOES NOT SIT WELL WITH ME NOR SHOULD IT FOR ANYONE ELSE THAT WOULD WANT A HONDA. *TR
