NHTSA Complaint #10436527 — 2003 HONDA ACCORD

MY TRANSMISSION FAILED WHILE DRIVING ON MY WAY TO WORK THE MORNING OF NOV. 16TH WITH NO WARNING WHATSOEVER. LUCKILY I WAS NOT IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE FACT I WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR BECAUSE THE RPM'S WERE ALL OVER THE PLACE AND THE VEHICLE WOULD ONLY REV BUT NOT GO ANY FURTHER. THEREFORE I IMMEDIATELY HAD TO PULL OVER IN FEAR OF CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE PAST FEW DAYS HOW MANY OTHER 2003 HONDA ACCORD OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR TRANSMISSIONS AND THERE SHOULD REALLY BE A RECALL DONE BY HONDA. THE TRANSMISSION SHOULD NOT BE GOING OUT AT 76,000 MILES. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY BEING REPAIRED AT AN INDEPENDENT TRANSMISSION SHOP WITH AN ESTIMATED COST OF AROUND $3400. I HOPE TO RECOVER SOME OF THAT COST FROM HONDA BUT FURTHER ACTION NEEDS TO HAPPEN TO ENSURE MORE PEOPLE WITH SIMILAR YEAR VEHICLES DO NOT HAVE TO EXPERIENCE THIS AS WELL. *TR
