| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My vehicle began to experience transmission problems on february 14th, 2005: the gears would engage harshly when accelerating on city streets and on freeway on-ramps. there were a few instances when the engine "over-revved" on the freeway because of a shifting problem. i experienced total transmission failure on february 14th, 2005, while driving on city streets. the vehicle was inoperable, and had to be taken to a mechanic. i was told by the mechanic that the transmission underwent extensive damage and had to be rebuilt. the mechanic advised me to contact american honda and try to get them to repair or replace the transmission free of charge, since my vehicle may have been recalled under nhtsa bulletin 04v176000. honda would not honor my request, as it the vehicle was manufactured after the dates specified in the bulletin. however, the vehicle had an odometer reading of only 42,200 miles when the transmission failed; nevertheless, american honda refuses to act upon my request for service and repair. i believe bulletin 04v176000 should be amended to include more-recently manufactured 2004 v-6 accord sedans. *nm |
