| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have owned three hondas. a 1988 accord, 93 accord, and now currently the 98 prelude. of all three the prelude has given me the most problems. i have spent over $1500 in repairs so far in having the car 8 months. now my torque converter needs to be replaced. on doing research i have found that honda is having some sort of major transmission problem between the years 98-01 yet they only issued extended warranties on the 00-01 models. why? the 97-01 preludes are all exactly the same with the same transmissions and all. so why were they not all included in the warranty. i firmly stand behind honda's quality and reputation to this day, but if they have a nationwide problem they do need to make sure and include all model years affected to keep their reputation good. it seems the older model year honda's were built better than the newer ones from what i understand. i do not quite understand this because most car companies strive to make their cars better and more reliable each year. i just wish honda would have made sure to cover all the affected cars under the extended warranty as to keep customers satisfied. *nm |
