Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My 1997 prelude ss had a transmission issue and it decided to go on me, in the middle of the road, while traffic was behind me. so, i decided to contact honda and make them see the issue, instead i received a no answer, which was a pretty lame excuse to not replace a transmission failure in all 97-99 honda prelude cars, so, the service manager decided to retry the honda usa number, and they got me through and replaced the transmission under a non-transmission warranty. so, my point is that honda must comply with a transmission warranty on all these cars, and not just the newer models, because it is unfair to have a transmission which will eventually fail, again and again and again. so, with all this said, i want to make sure something will be done regarding this issue. thanks. *la
