Consumer Description

WAS DRIVING ON A 3 LANE ROAD. I NOTICED THAT WHEN I ACCELERATE FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR THE RPM'S WERE REVVING UP AND THEN FELT THE TUG WHEN IT WOULD GRAB THE GEAR. KEPT DOING THAT AND THEN STARTED TO 3RD GEAR AS WELL. DOWNSHIFTING SAME THING. THEN IT DID A STRONG LOCK UP OF VEHICLE WHERE IT STOPPED AND ALL THE CHECK ENGINE, AND 2 OR 3 LIGHTS CAME ON. D5 STARTED TO BLINK. I PUT HAZARDS AND PULLED OVER. SHUT VEHICLE OFF THEN BACK ON AND 1 OF THE 3 LIGHTS TURNED OFF. TOOK IT TO SHOP AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS TRANSMISSION ISSUES AND WAS PART OF A HONDA RECALL BUT I WAS OVER THE MILEAGE. STILL WAITING ON WHAT TO DO NEXT.
