| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a 2001 honda civic ex with 62,000 miles. i bought it brand new a little of three years ago. i was driving in rush hour traffic on the freeway when my car without warning malfunctioned and would only rev up. i luckily coasted over to the side of the road (with many people slamming on breaks, honking and nearly missing me). i was right at an entrance to the interstate so while i was waiting for my husband, many people almost smashed into my car. we had the vehicle towed to a honda dealership and was told that we need a new transmission. we have always had all of the fluids checked every time we get an oil change. we also have the documented dates where the fluids were checked. we have a case in with honda so we will see how it goes!! i am leery why so many people have the exact same story. the reason the transmission died was due to lubrication (the exact same problem with all the recalled honda cars). |
