| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My 1998 honda accord's maintenance has always been maintained regularly and serviced at honda. i only have 49,000 actual miles on my 98 honda. the vehicle will lunge when going from reverse to drive. also, when at a complete stop and then begin to accelerate, the car will lunge. furthermore, when accelerating at a low speed, the vehicle will seem as though it is in neutral. it will not accelerate. i have to release the gas pedal and keep pressing and releasing the gas pedal until the gear will move. honda has now informed me that i need a new transmission. can you believe this; a new transmission on a vehicle with only 49,000 miles? honda has agreed to replace my transmission for no charge of the transmission, but i have to pay for the labor costs. honda obviously knows there is a huge problem with these transmissions, why should i be responsible for the labor costs?i hope i'm not going to get the same faulty transmission replaced in my honda. this website contains a lot of complaints for a problem that could be very dangerous and should be taken seriously. hopefully, and in the near future, there will be an investigation into this serious problem before there is fatalities. *jb |
