Consumer Description

WHEN COMING TO A STOP THE CAR DID NOT DOWN SHIFT TO FIRST GEAR. WHEN THE GAS WAS APPLIED IT BANGED INTO FIRST GEAR. I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALER WHO DOUBLE DRAINED AND REFILLED THE TRANSMISSION. IT WORKED GREAT FOR A FEW DAYS AND NOW SLIPS AND SHIFTS AT WILL. I AM TOLD IT NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION. THE HONDA DEALER ASKED AMERICAN HONDA TO PARTICIPATE FINANCIALLY IN THE REPAIR. AMERICAN HONDA DECLINED. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THE PREMATURE FAILURE FINDINGS OR THE CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW AND HAVE MAINTAINED IT ACCORDING TO MANUFACTURERS RECOMMENDATIONS. THE CAR IS NOW NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AS THE TRANSMISSION CAN FAIL AT ANY TIME WITH NO WARNING. I THINK AMERICAN HONDA SHOULD PARTICIPATE IN THE COST OF REPAIR AS THEY HAVE WITH SO MANY THOUSANDS OF SIMILAR VEHICLES. *TR
