Consumer Description

CAR STARTED TO SLIP OUT OF GEAR WITH NO WARNING AT ALL ON THE HIGHWAY AND STARTED TO SHUDDER. GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY AND SUDDENLY CAR WOULDN'T MOVE IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION...JUST STARTED OVERHEATING AND THEN THERE WAS A HUGE PUDDLE OF ON THE GROUND. HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE HONDA DEALER WHERE WE WERE TOLD THE HOSES HAD FAILED AND WE NEEDED NEW HOSES AND RADIATOR AFTER THAT IS REPLACED WE WILL FIND OUT IF WE NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. TOTAL COST WILL BE APPROX: $6,000. LOOKED ON HTTP://TOWNHALL-TALK.EDMUNDS.COM/DIRECT/VIEW/.F1155F7/299!KEYWORDS=#MSG299 AND SEE THAT THERE ARE A NUMBER OF PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME ISSUE HAPPENING. APPARENTLY THIS IS THE SAME TRANS THAT IS IN THE 2003 WHICH WAS RECALLED. *TR
