NHTSA Complaint #10494868 — 2001 HONDA CIVIC

I WAS YET ANOTHER UNFORTUNATE VICTIM OF HONDA'S CHEAP TRANSMISSION AND I SAY CHEAP IN THAT IT DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY NOT THAT IT IS CHEAP TO GET IT REPAIRED. NO THAT IS OVER $2000 ACCORDING TO MY LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP. AFTER TAKING SUCH GOOD CARE OF MY CAR DILIGENTLY TAKING IT IN FOR OIL CHANGES AND TUNE UPS AT HONDA'S RECOMMENDED MILEAGE; I AM SEVERELY DISAPPOINTED. I HAD JUST PULLED UP TO A BUSY STOP LIGHT, WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I HIT THE GAS AND MY CAR MOVED FORWARD LIKE USUAL, BUT SUDDENLY RIGHT AS I PAST THE INTERSECTION THE CAR'S TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING AND THEN JUST DIED. I SHUT THE CAR OFF, STARTED IT BACK UP AND SOME HOW AFTER A FEW MINUTES MANAGED TO GET THE TRANSMISSION TO HOLD JUST ENOUGH TO PULL IT INTO A TURN OFF. I HAD NUMEROUS PEOPLE HONKING AND YELLING AT ME TO GET OFF THE ROAD. HONDA IF YOU'RE LISTENING, I WON'T BE BUYING ANOTHER VEHICLE FROM YOU. NHTSA IF YOU'RE LISTENING PLEASE I IMPLORE YOU TO DO AN INVESTIGATION THIS COULD VERY LIKELY CAUSE SOMEONE TO GET HURT OR KILLED. *TR
