| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Going off the honda brand name, we purchased a 1998 honda accord in november of 2004. at the time, the vehicle had 101,000 miles on it. less than a week after purchasing the vehicle, my wife noticed that it hesitated and then shifted hard into second gear. she aslo noticed that there was a severe hesitation when accelerating after slowing down for a turn or when trying to merge into traffic. this causes an unsafe condition of a vehicle trying to get into the flow of traffic and being unable to accelerate; she's almost been hit several times. we've been on the phone with honda, and been told that they won't pay for anything. i don't have an estimate yet, but, after doing some research, this problem seems to cost anywhere from $2000-4000 to fix. if honda continues to refuse to replace what is obviously a defective component, i've resolved to do two things: contact a lawyer and never waste my money on one of their vehicles again. |
