| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Weeks after purchasing this vehicle new from the dealer. it began to leak transmission fluid. i took it to the dealer with the complaint. they said they'd take a look at it, but it was a waste of time. they claimed it could not possibly be leaking and any fluid i saw was condensation from the ac. the gave it back to me in a few hours claiming it was fine and again said the fluid was condensation. i argued and said it was oily. they claimed this was because my garage floor was oily. the response to me was: "i'm so confident it is water i'll come over and lick of the garage floor. new cars don't leak." well, it did leak and loads of transmission fluid. i had to mop up the fluid and return with the soaked rag and the vehicle to get them to take a closer look. i had to have an entirely new transmission installed. this is my 4th honda. i've never had so many problems with a vehicle as i've had with this element. i've only had it 3 months now. very disappointing. *nm |
