Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Around 55,000 miles vehicle developed an abnormal muffled knocking sound on right front corner at speeds above 30mph. got progressively louder as miles wore on. honda dealer blamed it on a right front wheel bearing and i had it replaced. sound was still there. had an independent shop lift the car up and run it to determine mechanical clacking sounds came from automatic transmission. finally convinced honda dealer it was the transmission and it was warrantied. scary that the dealer representing the manufacturer doesn't know how to diagnose a serious defect like a transmission problem. with all other accords of different years having transmission problems honda has some serious quality issues. *ak
