| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a 1997 honda accord, model lx-v6, vin [xxx] with automatic transmission. i was driving home from philadelphia and nearing home when after starting from a stop light in d4 (auto) the car vibrated vigorously and stalled. (the vibration and stalling was like what happens when operating a manual transmission car and releasing the clutch suddenly.) i pulled over and started the engine from park to d4 and again i had the same problem. i repeated with d2 and the car did not stall although the engine was making some noise. i drove the car to a nearby honda dealer, planet honda in union, nj and explained the problem. the car was left at the dealer for 2 days but they were unable to give a reason for this. the noise in the engine still appears and the dealer is suggesting replacing the whole transmission. this is a safety hazard and if the problem occurred on the highway instead of a local road it could have been hazardous. *js information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6) |
