Consumer Description

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO SLIP GEARS AND THEN FAILED TO RESPOND. THE VEHICLE WAS MANEUVERED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESUME IN OPERATION AFTER WAITING FOR ONE HOUR.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 99,892. THE MANUFACTURER WOULD NOT ASSIST THE CONSUMER WITH REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION, BECAUSE SHE WAS NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER. UPDATED 03/21/13
