| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: While driving, my car will over rev, and jerk into gear. if i let off of the gas it will slip into gear less harshly. i brought my car to honda of covington in covington, la, and they informed me that the transmission was failing due to the installation of aftermarket parts, such as a cold-air intake, header, and exhaust muffler. my local mechanic sais this is ludicrous, and that a simple additon of 10-15 hp would not cause a transmission failure. i have not modified or altered in any way the internal components of the car. each modification was a simple bolt-on and at the time of purcahse was in accordance with honda. i called honda techinical service many times and asked if i put a certain aftermarket part on my car would it void my warranty. each time honda told me that asd long as the internal components of my car remained intact, i would not be in trouble. they alos informed me of buying an axle-back exhaust instead of a full cat-back, to better insure the safety of my warranty. now i am informed that my tranny would ned to be replced or overhualed at a cost of more than $5000, and now honda has gone back on their word, and decided to null my warranty based on the addition of aftermarket components. i have since contacted a lawyer and plan to sue honda.*ak |
