Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: (1) normal 1 hour commute to and from work. (2) as i pull away from a stop, the transmission either fails to go into 2nd gear or revs to about 5000 rpm then lurches into second gear. frequent drops will occur. once car is into third gear there are no problems. this happens on a daily basis now, and i have had about five times where i have been in fender benders because of the violent transition the transmission will make when throwing the car from second to first. (3) have tried replacing transmission fluid/filter to no avail. called honda dealer for possible recall. while honda acknowledges there is a problem, they will do nothing about it. new tranny to cost around $3000. car has about 140k miles. *tr
