Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Transmission failure, at first it was not shifting normally then the check engine and d4 (flashed) lights turned on. within a week it smelled terrible and was leaking huge amounts of transmission fluid. a local transmission shop looked at the transmission and told me that it was the internal bearings, that this was a known problem on accords and that the dealership should honor an extended warranty. the dealership told me that my vin # was not covered by the extended warranty only the v6 model even though they share the same transmission. after i complained honda agreed to cover parts only and i was stuck with over $600.00 bill for labor. i find this offensive due to the fact that they were aware of the problem and choose not to cover it on the 4 cylinder model. *nm
