| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: With clutch pressed down while car in gear the transmission would start to engage. problem was occasional at the beginning, then worsened to the point vehicle was undrivable. (1 year period) took to local dealership twice but they were clueless to any cause. vehicle would often stall in stop and go traffic and at any lights. if clutch was pressed down for more than 5 seconds while in gear the hydrolics would fail and kill the engine. slave cylinder, clutch hydrolics eventually failed. dealership replaced slave cylinder and line for over $500, clutch now operates fine. dealership had to replace with modified honda parts since original slave and line replacement parts were defective. contacted american honda for relief do to faulty design/parts but refused due to ultimate failure occurring outside warranty period. *ak |
