Consumer Description

WHEN I DRIVE ON THE ROAD AT AROUND 45MPH, I EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN SHIFT TO LOW GEAR AND THEN THE GEAR IS NEUTRALIZED. I PRESSED THE PEDAL, BUT NO SPEED INCREASED WHILE THE RPM GOT VERY HIGH. I MUST HAVE PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED THE CAR. I HAVE STRUGGLED MUCH TO GET HOME DANGEROUSLY. I BROUGHT THE CAR THE HONDA DEALER. THEY OFFERED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AT THE PRICE $4300. THIS IS RIDICULOUS! I BOUGHT THE CAR LAST YEAR FOR $8500. I HAVE REPLACED MANY PARTS INCLUDING THE TIMING BELT. IT COST ME MORE THAN $3000 ALREADY. I COULD HAVE BOUGHT A NEW CAR WITH ALL THE MONEY I ALREADY SPENT AND WILL SPEND ON IT. I HAVE CALLED HONDA AMERICA AND ALSO ASKED THE DEALER TO CALL THEM FOR A GOOD WILL REPAIR. NO GOOD WILL IS GOT. HONDA DO NOT RESPECT THEIR CUSTOMERS' LIFE. THEY SUCK MY MONEY AND LEAVE ME STRANDED. I HAVE CHECKED ON LINE AND FOUND THIS IS A WIDE-SPREAD AND WELL-KNOWN TRANSMISSION PROBLEM OF HONDA ACCORD 2003. HONDA BECOME MURDERERS BECAUSE THEY LEAVE THESE CARS WITH DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION RUN ON THE ROAD. A RECALL DEFINITELY IS IN NEED TO PREVENT FATAL ACCIDENTS. *TR
