Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I WAS NO LONGER ABLE TO ACCELERATE. THE CAR JERKED WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE OR BRAKE. I WAS ABLE TO STEER IT OFF ONTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER TAKING IT IN TO GET IT LOOKED AT, I WAS TOLD IT IS THE TRANSMISSION. ACCORDING TO SEVERAL ARTICLES ONLINE AND MECHANIC AT THE SHOP I TOOK IT TOO, 2004 HONDA ACCORDS ARE KNOWN FOR HAVING WEAK TRANSMISSIONS. IT WAS SO UNEXPECTED AND I TAKE CAR OF MY CAR. I FELT COMPLETELY UNSAFE TRYING TO GET IT OFF THE INTERSTATE GOING 20 MILES AN HOUR AS IT JERKED ALONG AND APPARENTLY PEOPLE ALREADY KNOW ABOUT THIS ISSUE?? I HAVE JUST HAD THE CAR FOR A YEAR NOW AND BOUGHT IT FROM A HONDA DEALERSHIP. NOT A WORD WAS SAID TO ME ABOUT THE ISSUES WITH THESE MODELS OR SAFETY RECALLS FOR SEVERAL HONDA MODELS MADE IN 2004 - BUT APPARENTLY NOT MINE. *TR
