Consumer Description

DRIVING HOME ON HUNTINGTON DRIVE, 40 MPH, AT 5 P.M., I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR BUT THE ENGINE JUST REVVED AND I WENT NOWHERE. I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AGAIN, AND MY VAN "JUMPED" FORWARD. FORTUNATELY, I WAS NOT REAR-ENDED AND THE DRIVERS ALLOWED ME TO MOVE TO THE RIGHT, WITH MY EMERGENCY BLINKERS, NOW ON. ALSO, NO BIKERS WERE ALONG SIDE ME! I STOPPED THE CAR AND PARKED. MY TEMPERATURE GAUGE WAS NORMAL. I STARTED THE CAR, GINGERLY WENT A BLOCK WHEN IT TOTALLY DIED. I WAITED FOR 3 HOURS, AAA SYSTEM HAD LINES DOWN FOR SOME REASON, AND A SO. PASADENA TOW TRUCK CAME TO THE RESCUE. I WAS THEN TOWED TO HORIZON HONDA, THEY KEPT MY CAR FOR 2 WEEKS...COMMUNICATION WITH HONDA AND HORIZON TO GET APPROVAL FOR ANOTHER TRANSMISSION...TOOK AWHILE! LUCKILY,I WAS 6 MONTHS OR 300 MILES AWAY FROM THE 3 YEAR OR 36,000 MILE WARRANTY, SO THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED FOR FREE! ALL I AM ASKING IS THE SAME WARRANTY ON THIS TRANSMISSION. HONDA IS NOT OFFERING ONE. I WILL WRITE, CALL, COMPLAIN, ETC., UNTIL I GET ONE! DOES HONDA NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR TRANSMISSIONS? I WILL BE IN NEED OF A CAR SOON... *TR
