| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The automatic transmission in my car started with hesitation during cold starts as described by numerous other honda 98 accords. it would get out of park and into 1st gear just fine, but when getting out of 1st and into 2nd, the rpms would just shoot up and the transmission would catch the 2nd gear 2-5 seconds later. in those 2-5 seconds, there would be no power transferred to the front wheels. the car is so jerky that sometimes i spin out on my front tires. the problem had been looked at by honda, but they wanted $5,000 for the repair; the entire value of the car. we took it to aamco and they did the repair for 2,200. we've been into their shop twice now in their 1 year warranty, but the hesitation has come back. the car has only 82,000 miles on it and i don't drive it hard at all. something is definitely wrong with these units and something has to be done. *nm |
