| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My car is a 2001 honda accord ex vin# [xxx] this car has had two major problems. my transmission failed to work and the gear would not shift when i try to take off. the first time my transmission failed i was on the freeway and my transmission would not change gears which made my car go extremely slow and i was almost rear ended (the car in back of me screeched to stop and just missed my car by pulling to the side of the road). i took it to san leandro honda and they failed to fix it. they charged me $115.00 to tell me they researched the car and found nothing wrong. they tightened all of my wires and it should be just fine. after i received the car back it did it slightly once again about two months later and than stopped. i called san leandro honda and they told me not to bring it in until it is doing it bad. recently my car did it again. i was driving along and the car would not change gears and got stuck in (drive 4) and the light was blinking w/ also the check engine light on. again i was almost rear ended with my baby in the back seat both times. i now took it back to san leandro honda and they are now going to replace the lock up solenoid and see if that is the problems. i do not have to pay because i bought the warranty but i noticed and was told from the dealership that 2000 and 2001 accords have had major problems on their transmissions. i would like you to please investigate honda that they research why my transmission and i noticed many other transmissions are bad and put a recall on them so now car accidents are caused. honda should have caught the default the first time i took it in instead of putting me at risk again. if the car does not shift there is something wrong. *jb updated 07/18/2012 *js information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6) |
