| 2003 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | I FIRST NOTICED ISSUES WITH MY AUTO TRANNY IN MY ACCORD EX V6 AT AROUND 50K MILES. THEY HAD JUST INSTALLED SOME JET FOR THE RECALL FOR HARD SHIFTING FOR THIS CAR. AT ABOUT 80K I NOTICED IT GETTING WORSE, SO I TOLD MY MECHANIC AND HE CHANGED THE TRANNY OIL FOR ME. IT SEEMED TO SHIFT A LITTLE BETTER AND THIS WAS ONLY FROM 2-3 GEAR THAT IT WOULD REV UP TO ABOUT 5K AND THEN JERK THE CAR TO GET INTO 3RD. IT'S VERY EMBARRASSING AND I'M AFRAID IT'S GOING TO LOCK UP ON ME ON THE FREEWAY. I SAW THAT CALIFORNIA FILED A SUIT AGAINST HONDA AND HONDA SETTLED. EVERY STATE SHOULD BE FILING A SUIT - I'D BE FIRST IN LINE! I TOO TALKED TO HONDA AND THE HQ FOR HONDA, BUT SINCE MINE HAS SO MANY MILES ON IT (ALL FREEWAY), THEY ARE BLAMING THAT, EVEN THO I HAVE MAINTENANCE RECORDS SHOWING IT'S BEEN A PROBLEM. THEY DON'T WANT TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE. I HOPE SOME LAWYER GETS A HOLD OF THESE COMPLAINTS AND SUES THEM LIKE CALIFORNIA DID. THIS IS MY 2ND HONDA AND I SWORE BY IT, BUT I'LL NEVER BUY ANOTHER HONDA AFTER THIS. EVEN FROM DAY ONE I'VE ASKED HONDA ABOUT THE DIMMING OF THE HEADLIGHTS WHEN THE CAR SHIFTS AND THEY SAID IT WAS NORMAL CUZ THEY CAR NEEDED ALL THE POWER TO DO THE SHIFTING, SO THEY WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I'VE OWNED SEVERAL OTHER CARS AND THIS WAS NEVER AN ISSUE. I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S THE YEAR OF THIS ACCORD OR THAT IT'S A V6, BUT IT'S VERY FRUSTRATING AND HONDA SHOULD BE ASHAMED! IF COMPLAINTS KEEP HAPPENING, YOU'D THINK THEY WOULD FIX THE ISSUES OR INVESTIGATE IT A LITTLE HARDER SINCE THEY ALREADY DID ONE RECALL ON THEM. I HAVE TOLD ALL MY FRIENDS NOT TO BUY HONDA AND TOLD THEM WHY. LET'S SPREAD THE WORD AND MAYBE WHEN THEIR SALES GO DOWN, THEY MIGHT WONDER WHY AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. I'M NOW FACED WITH A $4K TO REBUILD MY TRANNY. SICKENS ME, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE CAR IS ONLY WORTH $7K CUZ I HAVE 140K MILES ON IT NOW. EMAIL ME IF YOU CAN HELP SUE THEM...[XXX] .
