Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My 2002 honda accord ex had an internal transmission failure. the car has about 80,000 miles; i have maintained the car as directed; i know that honda extended the warranty on the 2000 and 2001 models due to this problem. i also know that certain 2002 models had transmission warranty extended. my vin number did not fall into this category. since the design of the car was not changed, why do some cars receive extended warranty and mine does not? it is, in my opinion, ridiculous that transmission failure happen at 80,000 miles. it is also dangerous - i am now having to replace the failed transmission with a new honda transmission at the cost of $3400. honda advertises its pride on quality and dependability and value - i received none of this. honda has a problem with the transmission, and has not corrected this problem - at least to 2002. thanks for listening. *jb
