| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: At 47500 miles (the warranty ended at 36k), my 2002 honda accord (4 cylinder.) had transmission problems (started with a strong "thump", as if another car had rear-ended my car, jerky upshifts especially in the morning, slipping gears, leaking transmission fluid from the differential). the honda dealer where i purchased the vehicle diagnosed the problem, determined that the transmission had to be replaced, contacted american honda, and received a goodwill warranty approval for transmission replacement. i still had to pay out of my own pocket for a new rear main seal as a preventive maintenance. the transmission was replaced with a honda re-manufacturer transmission, paid by honda. i was offered a 3-year, 36000-mile warranty on the replacement. i can only hope that i won't need to take advantage of the warranty in the future or that the warranty is long enough...only time will tell...*jb |
