Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I own a 2002 honda accord, leased it new for 2 years and then purchased it. i serviced it only at the dealership. when my car was at 95,000 miles the transmission started slipping. i called honda and told them about the problem and they said it wasn't under warranty. i had told them that i would have purchased a chevy for half the price of the honda had i known the transmission would go out as quickly as that on the less expensive car. i also had a main rear seal go out which is not typical with the age or mileage of this car, and the engine mounts. they agreed to only charge me labor for all of the problems; however it was still almost $1000 that i should not have to be paying right now. i just graduated from college and have over $60,000 in student loans. all of the aforementioned problems should not have been taking place for at least another 50-100,000 miles. i looked online and saw that other honda accords have been recalled up to 2001. this did not include my car right now, but probably will in the future. the dealership was very cooperative; however, honda corporate was not. *jb
