Honda Cr-v Power Train Automatic Transmission Safety Report | Feb 01, 2004
Reported on Feb 01, 2004
| MY 2002 HONDA CRV HAS ONLY BEEN SERVICED BY HONDA DEALERSHIPS. ALL MAINTANENCE HAS BEEN PERFORMED ACCORDING TO THEIR SCHEDULE, YET JUST AFTER 50,000 MILES THE DEALER SAYS MY TRANSMISSION NEEDS REPLACEMENT. I WAS DRIVING AT 30 MPH AND ACCELERATED TO PASS A CAR WHEN THE VEHICLE VIOLENTLY SHUDDERED. I PULLED OVER IMMEDIATELY TO CHECK THE CAR AND FOUND NO LEAKING FLUID, NO WARNING LIGHTS, BUT THE SOUND OF METAL PIECES ROLLING AROUND THE TRANSMISSION WHEN I DEPRESS THE GAS...EVEN WITH THE VEHICLE IN PARK. AFTER SO MANY RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE, NOT TO MENTION OTHER PROBLEMS THAT OCURRED AND WERE REPAIRED DURING THE WARRANTY, I DO NOT FEEL CONFIDENT IN MY PURCHASE OF THIS VEHICLE. IF A TRANSMISSION FAILURE OF THIS TYPE WERE TO OCCUR AT HIGH SPEEDS, LOSS OF CONTROL COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A CRASH. THANK GOODNESS TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT WHEN THIS HAPPENED!*AK | |
