Consumer Description

I WAS TOLD APPROXIMATELY TWO MONTHS AGO THAT THE REASON THE SHIFT WAS HARD WAS BECAUSE I HAD TWO BROKEN MOTOR MOUNTS. THEY WERE REPAIRED AND THEY SUGGESTED CHANGING THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. THEN RIGHT BEFORE THANKSGIVING I NOTICED MY CAR HAVING DIFFICULTY SHIFTING BETWEEN 2ND & 3RD GEAR AND THE RPMS WERE GOING CRAZY SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. I WAS INFORMED THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED FOR $4200. I HAVE SPENT ABOUT $1500 THIS YEAR ON REPAIRS FOR THIS VAN. I ALWAYS HAVE DRIVEN HONDAS AND TOYOTAS AND FULLY EXPECTED TO GET OVER 200,000 MILES OUT OF THIS VAN. I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED TO FIND MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND THAT HONDA IS NOT HELPFUL. THIS IS MY LAST HONDA. *KB
