NHTSA Complaint #11256661 — 2005 HONDA ACCORD

TRANSMISSION FAILURE!! I KNEW THESE EARLY 2000S TO 2005S HAD TRANSMISSION ISSUES IN THE ACCORDS AND CIVICS, BUT I HAD A 2005 EARLIER AND WHEN SOMEONE HIT ME IT HAD OVER 168.000 MILES ON IT. (IT WAS A CALIFORNIA CAR WITH EXTRA SMOG COMPONENTS) NO TRANSMISSIONS ISSUES!! I REPLACED IT WITH ANOTHER 2005 ACCORD 4CYL AT 79.441 MILES IN FEB OF 2018. THE CAR HAD BEEN VERY WELL MAINTAINED BY A HONDA DEALERSHIP IN GA. NOTHING WAS MISSED. I ALSO HAD TRANSMISSION SERVICED AND A LOT OF OTHER THINGS DONE BY A CERTIFIED HONDA MECHANIC BEFORE I EVEN PUT THE PLATE ON IT BACK IN NC. ON 6/12/19( 93500 ON CAR) I WAS IN A ROLLOVER WRECK IN MY 2002 TUNDRA.(GREAT TRUCK) AND REALLY NEEDED MY CAR. ON 6/14/19 I GO TO SEE MY TUNDRA IN THE JUNK YARD AND MY CAR JUST STARTS REVVING UP BUT STOPS MOVING. I PULLED OVER AND STOPPED THEN TRIED TO PUT CAR BACK INTO GEAR AND WAS ABLE TO GET IT INTO 2ND GEAR AND LIMP TO A FRIENDS HOUSE. I WAS HEARTBROKEN!! TO LOSE BOTH IN 2 DAYS WAS INSANE! I TOOK IT TO FRIENDLYS TRANSMISSION IN HIGH POINT NC AND THEY PUT IN A REBUILT TRANSMISSION VERY QUICKLY!!!! I HOPE THIS ONE HOLDS BECAUSE IT IS A BEAUTIFUL LITTLE CAR WITH A GREAT ENGINE AND I WOULD LIKE TO DRIVE IT A LONG TIME. I THOUGHT ABOUT TRYING TO DEAL WITH HONDA BUT I WAS IN PAIN AND NEEDED MY CAR...IT IS SHAMEFUL THAT A LOW MILEAGE CAR THAT HAS BEEN WELL TAKEN CARE OF SHOULD NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION SO SOON!!! IT WOULD BE WONDERFUL IF 11V395000, RECALL R89, 8/27 2011 WOULD SOMEHOW APPLY TO MY CAR!!!
