Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY GOING ABOUT 30 MPH IN MODERATE TRAFFIC WHEN THE CAR STOPPED RESPONDING TO MY GAS PEDAL AND THE RPMS JUST STARTED TO SPIKE UP. THIS PUT ME IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION AND THE CAR BEHIND ME ALMOST REAR ENDED ME BUT SWERVED AWAY. LUCKILY MY CAR MANAGED TO GLIDE TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER AND OUT OF HARM'S WAY. AFTERWARD I HAD TO GET MY CAR TOWED. I WAS QUOTED AT VARIOUS DEALERSHIPS THAT THE REPAIR WOULD BE EXCESS OF 3000, SO NOW I'M STUCK WITH REPAIRS THAT EXCEED THE VALUE OF MY CAR. APPARENTLY, HONDA DIDN'T DO A GOOD JOB OF CREATING A RELIABLE TRANSMISSION.
