NHTSA Complaint #10455303 — 2005 HONDA ACCORD

HONDA ACCORD 2005 V6 UNDER 25,000 MILES SUDDENLY STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WHICH FINALLY FAILED ON MAY 2011 WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. A COMPLETE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION OVERHAUL AND TORQUE CONVERTER CHANGE WERE PERFORMED AT A HONDA DEALER AT A COST OF OVER $2600. NEW TRANSMISSION FELT GREAT DURING THE FIRST 3 MONTHS (EVEN THOUGH IT TORQUE CONVERTER STARTED LEAKING OIL AND I HAD TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR) BUT RECENTLY I HAVE NOTICE ABRUPT DELAYS (SLOW DOWN) WHILE SHIFTING GEARS, LIKE ITS IS PULLING YOU BACK AND STRANGE KICKS WHILE SHIFTING. CAR ACCELERATES SLOWER AS WELL AND DOES NOT REACT AS QUICKLY OR SMOOTHLY AS NEW. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE SAME HONDA DEALER AND THEY SAY NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION. *TR
