Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Transmission failure. had intermittent problems that could not be diagnosed when under 100000 miles. transmission finally failed at 108,500 miles. dealership & american honda have only offered 50% discount on a known problem with their cars. i feel they should be responsible for entire cost. they were using a cop out to not honor their product. i am only a little over their extended coverage offer. also, they stated that even though i have a great service history i did not have it done through them, instead i did have my maintenance done with goodyear shop which was an established car center. i bought the honda believing i would not have to encounter these issues. i can understand little problems, but not one to this extent. i just thank god that my two month old child was not in the car w/ me when it finally broke down. i had to spend $200 on towing fees. all attempts to speak with american honda was disappointing. i also followed up with research on service history, and have come to the conclusion that honda was just not the name it use to be. *ak
