Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I previously submitted complaint (odi id number: 10141918) and i am updating the issue. which includes: as mentioned, transmission slips in 1st and 2nd gear. i would like to add that my wife had mentioned that as she was returning from work that it felt like the vehicle was locking up. i took vehicle into dealership and they said they had drove the vehicle and also put it on a scope where no codes came up about the transmission. i questioned the diagnostic check to management because when i had took my vehicle in for the recall of transmission...i was told they put a camera inside the transmission and viewed the components. why not this time if i didn't have the problem till after i took the vehicle in for the recall? now i was told by the dealer that they cannot do anything until they see it for themselves. they use "no" code as defining the problem and "drove" the vehicle and had no problem. i imagine standard protocol. i was assured by management from my previous maintenance/issue that if problems persists that a new transmission would not be a problem. this is the third time i have taken vehicle in for transmission issue (including recall). after viewing other similar complaints i am leary of honda intentions and fear to drive vehicle. a part of variability and negligence/liability in case-law and/or administrative law-class action. i also would like to mention that i had told them about a humming noise and they said that it was the exhaust. it is on order where they are going to fix it. it is still under warranty. a two year exhaust system? product life cycle? *nm
