Consumer Description

I HAVE HONDA ACCORD 2002 WHICH HAS BEEN REGULARLY SERVICED BY HONDA DEALERS. I RECENTLY GOT MY 120K SERVICE DONE AND SPEND ABOUT $1000 ON SERVICE AND PARTS. AT THAT TIME EVERYTHING WAS DIAGNOSED OK. AFTER COUPLE OF MONTHS DRIVING THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR NEEDS TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT WITH A COST OF $4000 UPWARD. I RESEARCHED ON THE WEB AND CAME TO KNOW THAT THE 2002 ACCORD HAVE TRANSMISSION ISSUES. A RECALL WAS DONE IN 2004 FOR TRANSMISSION. I DIDN'T RECEIVE ANY RECALL NOTICE FROM HONDA IN 2004. SINCE HONDA KNOWS ABOUT THE ISSUE I THINK HONDA SHOULD BE LIABLE TO PAY FOR THE COST OF FIXING THE TRANSMISSION. COULD ANYONE LET ME KNOW WHAT IS MY RIGHTS IN THIS SITUATION CONSIDERING IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND HONDA DID NOTHING ABOUT IT. IT IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD SINCE FAULTY TRANSMISSION CAN LOCK THE ENGINE RESULTING IN CRASH. PLEASE ADVISE. *TR
