Consumer Description

I DID THE ROUTINE MAINTENANCE ON MY HONDA ACCORD. I HAVE FOLLOWED ALL OF THE SPECIFICATIONS REGARDING OIL CHANGES, MAINTENANCE ON THE TRANSMISSION, TIMING BELT REPLACEMENT, ETC. UNFORTUNATELY, EVEN WITH THE ROUTINE MAINTENANCE PERFORMED ON THIS CAR, MY TRANSMISSION FAILED ON A ROAD TRIP ON JULY 7, 2012. I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE GOING 75 MILES PER HOUR WHEN MY HONDA ACCORD WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ANYMORE. THANKFULLY, I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL ACROSS THREE LANES OF TRAFFIC IN ORDER TO GET TO THE SHOULDER. UNFORTUNATELY, THAT IS WHEN I DISCOVERED THAT MY TRANSMISSION FAILED AND I HAD TO TAKE IT TO THE NEAREST GARAGE. *TR
