| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Noticed sudden tugging on day of incident when car hit 20 mph, while driving home from work, and after getting off of highway, car suddenly stalled at a red light. i turned vehicle off for about 10 minutes to see if it would move, but no such luck. the engine was working fine, but the tires gave out completely @ 73k miles. i had the car towed to my local mechanic, and he stated it was p0730 as listed in honda civic 01 tsb. mechanic said i needed to replace tranny. since it is costly i contacted the dealership, had the car diagnosed and now they ask for $2100 for a remanufactured transmission. i have now contacted honda zone and american honda for goodwill assistance since these vehicles are known to have bad transmissions, received a case number and hopefully matters will be solved, since vehicle is out of the 36k mile warranty period. do note vehicle was purchased brand new from lot and all maintenance records are up to date. there were no prior warnings or indications of such malfunction, and i was put in a dangerous situation. this vehicle should have a safety recall. *jb |
