Honda Accord Power Train Automatic Transmission Safety Report | June 05, 2009
Reported on June 05, 2009
| 2004 HONDA ACCORD V-6 66,000 MILES I HAVE HAD ALL RECOMMENDED SERVICES PERFORMED ON MY CAR WITH THE DEALERSHIP THINKING THIS WOULD KEEP MY CAR SAFE, WHICH FAILED TO BE THE CASE. MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT WITH ONLY HAVING 66,000 MILES. WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE, MY CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE BEYOND 45 MILES WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I PLACED A FORMAL COMPLAINT WITH THE COMPANY AND THEY WOULD ONLY HONOR 75% OF THE FEE TO FIX THE TRANSMISSION. AFTER STATING IT WAS UNSAFE AND UNFAIR AND I WOULD SEEK LEGAL ACTION, THEY FORCED ME TO SIGN A RELEASE FORM OR THEY WOULD NOT HONOR THE 75% FEE REQUIRED FOR THE DEALERSHIP TO FIX THE TRANSMISSION. I FEEL THIS CAR IS UNSAFE TO THE CONSUMER ESPECIALLY IF THEY HAVE THEIR TRANSMISSION GO OUT WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. AT 66,000 MILES WITH A HISTORY OF ALL REQUIRED MAINTENANCE PERFORMED, IT JUST SEEMS THIS VEHICLE HAD A FACTORY DEFECTED TRANSMISSION. I FEEL HONDA IS AWARE THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE/MODEL YEAR TRANSMISSION BUT ISN'T TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR PRODUCT AND IT COULD BE UNSAFE ON THE ROAD. *TR | |
