Consumer Description

THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED BY ME BRAND NEW IN SEPTEMBER 2002 AND HAS BEEN MAINTAINED FOLLOWING MANUFACTURERS RECOMMENDED SCHEDULE AT HONDA AND AT 134,000+ MILES, THE TRANSMISSION IS SHOT DUE TO A BAD TORQUE CONVERTER. I WANT THIS CORRECTED BY HONDA ESPECIALLY BECAUSE I WAS VICTIM TO A HIT AND RUN AT A RED LIGHT AND FIXED THE CAR OUT OF POCKET FOR OVER 5,000 AND WOULD HAVE LIKE TO KNOW BY HONDA THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THIS CAR SO I COULD HAVE BOUGHT A NEW CAR RATHER THAN FIX IT. IT IS SO DANGEROUS FOR ME AS AN ONLY PARENT TO HAVE MY TRANSMISSION FAIL WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC OR WHILE DRIVING OVER TRAIN TRACKS!!!! THIS IS SCARY TO ME AND I WANT RESOLUTION FOR THEIR FAILURE TO ADMIT THE TORQUE CONVERTER LEMON IN MY CAR CAUSED THE FAILURE!!!! *TR
