| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I owned a 2004 honda accord 2 door coupe. i filed for lemon law because american honda refused to fix a major transmission oil leak in the car. i have won the lemon law case, but when i found out that american honda was not going to recall all the cars with that transmission, i felt like i had to do something. the problem is due to a low vent valve on the six speed manual transmission. the manual transmission only holds 2 quarts of oil. i purchased the car in 9/2004. from 9/2004 to 9/2005, i witnessed well over a quart of oil spill out and onto the bottom of the transmission and engine. i have a detailed outline that i can e-mail you on request outlining all of the visits to the dealership and the outcome of each visit. the location where this oil comes out, is also where the clutch is located. i had noticed clutch slippage soon after buying the car. i am assuming the clutch was slipping due to the oil soaking the clutch plate and disk. i would like to see a full recall done on all of these transmissions. american honda admitted that they have modified the 2005 transmission to resolve this issue, but will not recall the old transmission. *jb |
