Consumer Description

I WAS TOLD 2 YEARS AGO BY A HONDA DEALERSHIP THAT A SOLENOID WAS DEFECTIVE IN THE TRANSMISSION. SOLENOID WAS REPLACED BUT PROBLEMS DID NOT GO AWAY COMPLETELY. TRANSMISSION WOULD SHIFT, BUT HARD AND WITH GREAT DELAY IN 1ST GEAR. I RETURNED TO 2 OTHER DEALERSHIPS BUT WAS TOLD THAT THE CAR DID NOT HAVE AN ISSUE. I WILL NOT TRAVEL WITH THE CAR AS I AM AFRAID THE TRANSMISSION WILL FAIL WHEN IT GETS HOT AS IT DID THE 1ST TIME WHEN I WAS 300 MILES FROM HOME. I RECENTLY TOOK THE CAR TO A LOCAL TRANSMISSION SHOP WHOM I TRUST AND WAS TOLD THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT A RECALL WAS ISSUED BUT I NEVER WAS NOTIFIED BY MAIL OR PHONE EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A 1 OWNER CAR. *KB
