POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION |
MY CAR STARTED JERKING SEVERAL WEEKS AGO AND TOOK IT INTO OUR TRUSTED AUTO MECHANIC AND THEY DIAGNOSED TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THEY TOLD ME THAT THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY WITH THIS YEAR OF HONDA AND TO TAKE IT TO A HONDA DEALER SINCE COMMON KNOWLEDGE THAT TRANSMISSION HAS DEFECTIVE PARTS. THEY ALSO TOLD ME TO CONTACT HONDA CUSTOMER CARE. THE MECHANICS WHO WORK ON MY CAR WERE ORIGINALLY HONDA CERTIFIED REPAIR TECH'S. DID ALL OF THAT STARTING ON MAY 24, 2011 AND AFTER SEVERAL WEEKS OF WAITING HONDA SAID IT WOULD COST AROUND $3700 FOR A REBUILT TRANSMISSION OF WHICH I MUST PAY AROUND $2200. I HAVE APPEALED AGAIN BECAUSE EVERYONE, INCLUDING THE HONDA DEALERSHIP, HAS ADMITTED IT IS DEFECTIVE PARTS. PLUS I MADE SOME CALLS TO SEVERAL TRANSMISSION REBUILD OUTFITS AND THE GENERAL CONSENSUS IT WOULD COST ME $2100 FOR A COMPLETE REBUILD AS WELL AS THE INFORMATION ABOUT DEFECTIVE HONDA TRANSMISSIONS FOR HONDAS RUNNING FROM 2001 TO 2005. MY ARGUMENT IS THAT HONDA KNOWS THIS IS A DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION, I HAVE PROVIDED THE PROOF THAT THIS CAR HAS BEEN WELL-MAINTAINED THROUGHOUT ITS LIFE AND THAT EVERYONE ELSE?S REBUILD QUOTES $2100. THEY ARGUE THAT I AM NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER BUT ONE REASON WE BOUGHT THE CAR FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER (MY MOTHER-IN-LAW) IS FOR HONDA?S ?WELL-KNOWN? RELIABILITY AND HOW THEY STAND BEHIND THEIR CARS. *TR |

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION |
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED, SURGED FORWARD AND THEN STARTED UP ON ITS OWN. THE FAILURE OCCURRED EVERY FORTY SECONDS WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP BUT THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY WOULD NOT ASSIST IN REPAIRS. THE TRANSMISSION WAS BEING REBUILT AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 119,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 146,000. |
