HONDA PRELUDE 1997 car safety problem was reported on Mar 26, 2003.HONDA PRELUDE 1997, manufactured by HONDA (AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.) had a problem with POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION . i have a 1997 honda prelude sport-shift automatic. like most owners of this type of vehicle, the transmission went out. the gears begin to slip and will not engage. the dealer wanted $4000 to get a rebuilt transmission. i had it replaced, but then about 20,000 miles later, it went out again. this time the first gear did not engage. i am basically afraid to drive my car around anymore. i do not want to get it rebuilt again because of the fact that it may as well break again. however, the 2000-01 honda preludes with this type of transmission get an extended warranty and i find it very unfair that the same exact car with the same exact transmission gets an extended warranty, but the 1997-99 preludes do not. if honda knows of the faulty transmissions, why not replace all of the transmissions instead of the later year ones? i used to love honda vehicles, until i learned of many others with this same exact problem. *jb.Mileage was 99500 miles.
