THE FIRST FAILURE WAS IN 2003. WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT COMPLETELY IN TRAFFIC. I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE STREET BEFORE THE CAR COMPLETELY STOPPED. THE REPAIR WAS DONE IN 2003 DURING A NATIONAL RECALL. THE CAR STARTED SHOWING SIGNS OF SLIPPING IN 2009 . I CONTACTED HONDA ABOUT THE REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION AND THEY SAID IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY FAILED IN MARCH, 2010. I WAS TRAVELING AT 55 MPH WHEN THE CAR STARTED TO LOSE POWER. THIS IS THE SECOND INCIDENT WITH THIS CAR WHERE THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING THIS CAR. *TR
