140-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed automatic FWD
10000 mi | First repair by dealer #1 for oil leak identified near passenger side front wheel during maintenance visit: repair took 1 week. Following week engine light came on: I limped into dealer #2 - no transmission fluid. That repair took 2 days |
8000 mi | An abnormal LOUD grinding noise is heard every time I go from reverse to drive or vice versa. Its worse when its cold. I am assured this is "normal" but I am loosing confidence in the car. Oh, Honda corporate service stinks. |
7000 mi | While traveling through the mountains in TN, the Trans lost 5th gear. Turned out to be a 3rd gear pressure plate. Johnson City Honda took care of it, and all is now well! |
37000 mi | In hot weather the transmission would not shift into all the gears, pressure switch was replaced, problem returned next day. Third time since new. |
38000 mi | Three times in one month the transmission would lock up and not shift into all the gears. The dealer finally claims its a computer issue, and we are waiting on parts... Something in the transmission electronics continued to malfunction, causing the transmission to stay locked up in higher gears. I asked Honda to buy the car back, said no, dealer offered to, then reneged, said car is broke, we don't want it! |
