| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I purchased a 2002 honda accord in march of 2005. in mid august i noticed the transmission slipping. i took it to the dealership and they said the transmission needed to be replaced. the car has 80k miles on it, and has had regular scheduled maintenance by the dealer. they said that they had problems with 1998-2001 transmissions but they fixed the problem. 2002 models have the same motor and transmission with "upgrades"., yet my car was not the only one with this problem. there was another accord with less miles and a bad transmission. honda said that my car didn't qualify for the extended warrany that they issued for the previous years with the same problem. they told me that there was no problem with that transmission so it would be $5,000 dolars for a new transmission. i have owned 4 hondas previously and have never had a problem like this before. this is ridiculous. |
