| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 98 honda civic dx transmission slippage my car has been having this transmission slippage problem intermittently for about 4 years. it recently started doing it for about 2 weeks straight so i tried to go online and find out if there was some type of solution. i found other complaints about transmission problems in honda accords/civics/odyssey's and even acuras. i called honda corp. and their only response was you're not on the recall list so you'll have to go to the dealer and get it repaired. i did that and they told me i needed to get a refurbished trans at 5k a pop! that's a rip off. so i researched it some more and found out on about.com that you can basically just drain the transmission fluid and replace it with honda atp fluid and replace a piece called the solenoid assembly and a washer. if this is the case why isn't honda doing a general recall and have everyone pay a certain price or have everyone with certain vin numbers come in and have their trans checked out. this is a rip off through honda corp. they're trying to make money and so are the dealerships! *nm |
