Consumer Description

I WAS TRAVELING ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY AT A SPEED OF AROUND 75MPH. I NEEDED TO SLOW DOWN SO PULLED MY FOOT OFF ACCELERATOR AND SLOWED BY ABOUT 10MPH. WHEN I WENT TO ACCELERATE AGAIN I HAD NO POWER AND THE CAR BEGAN TO DECELERATE FOR THE NEXT 10-15 SECONDS. I HAD NO POWER AND HAD A CAR COMING IN CLOSE BEHIND ME AND A BIG RIG TO MY RIGHT. THIS WAS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE CAR FINALLY KICKED INTO GEAR AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO ACCELERATE. AFTER TAKING IT TO HONDA TO BE CHECKED THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT "DUPLICATE" THIS NOR FIND ANYTHING IN THE LOG BUT HONDA HAS PLACED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE TRANSMISSION. AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ISN'T GOING TO SAVE OUR LIVES IF THIS SITUATION OCCURS AGAIN. HONDA NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE.
