| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Transmission in my 2001 honda civic ex went out on march 30, 2005 at 79,900 miles. i was driving home from work and the car began to stall in the middle of a busy intersection, when the engine light came on. fortunately, i was able to get the car across the intersection and pull over onto a side street. the car had to be towed to the dealer that night. the next morning i was told that the transmission had gone out, and the repairs were approximately $4,000. i have spoken with dealer and the honda corporation concerning the replacement cost for the transmision. they are requesting that i cover 25% percent of the cost, due to the warranty expiration. based on the research that i have done, it is apparent that the honda corporation is either manufacturing "defective" transmissions for al of their late model automobiles, or they are using defective parts to build the transmissions. i am aware that the honda corporation has extended a courtesy "warranty" for specific honda's and acura's due to premature transmission failures, but the honda civic is not included in this warranty extension. i was lucky that i was able to pull my car over to the side of the road without someone crashing into me from behind; however, someone else may not be that lucky. *ak |
