Consumer Description

THE CAR IS HESITATING TO GO FROM 1ST TO 2ND AND OFTEN JERKING. IT ALSO MAKES A BUSSING NOISE WHEN RUNNING ABOVE 45 MPH. I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR WITH A MILEAGE 113,300 THINKING THAT IT IS HONDA, A DURABLE CAR MANUFACTURER. AFTER DRIVING A CAR APPROXIMATELY 20 DAYS, I NOTICED THE PROBLEM. SO DISAPPOINTED. CHECKED WITH A HONDA DEALER IN CHICAGO AND IT IS SAID THAT IT HAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM, COSTING CLOSE TO $4K TO REPLACE WITH AN AFTERMARKET TRANSMISSION OR APPROXIMATELY $4.5K HONDA PART (BOTH INCLUDING LABOR FEES). GIVEN SO MANY COMPLAINS ON THIS TYPE OF CAR (I HAVE DRIVEN DODGE STRATUS AND NOW GOING CLOSE TO 210K WITH NO SINGLE PROBLEM TO A TRANSMISSION), I WOULD LIKE TO ASK THE AGENCY TO SUPPORT A RECALL OF THE PART AND REQUEST HONDA TO BE RESPONSIBLE AND TAKE A FULL FIX ON THE PROBLEM. THANK YOU *TR
