| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Automatic transmission began shifting extremely harshly. on upshift the car will squeal the tires causing obvious control problems. this poses a safety hazard, especially in heavy traffic, or on wet pavement or slick roads, as car is difficult to control on upshift. dealer says car needs remanufactured transmission. i have researched and found this (transmission failures) to be a known problem with honda preludes of this generation, as well as accuras of similar vintage. i have uncovered information that honda has been aware of this problem for some time and done nothing to correct. i contacted honda consumer service and they would not discuss with me. i feel honda should recall these cars for this potentailly dangerous defect.*ak |
