Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The first transmission failure was at 40242 miles. the vehicle suddenly stopped working, and we were forced to pull over on the side of the highway. the vehicle was covered under extended warranty, but it took several weeks of negotiations between honda and the warranty company to do an 80-20 split. the second transmission failure was similar, with failure while driving at 82,000 miles. honda will agree to pay parts only, but will not buy them locally, and wants to ship them overseas at our expense. we live in germany with the air force, shipping will be over $1000 and labor will be over $1000 at the local honda dealer. the recall work was done on the 2nd transmission in may 04. shame on honda for allowing this problem to continue. *jb
