POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TRANSMISSION WAS JUST REPLACED WITH A RE-BUILT. IN SHOP 9/4 THROUGH 9/7/02. I COMPLAINED MULTIPLE TIMES, STARTING 2ND DAY OF OWNERSHIP ABOUT "SLUGGISH RESPONSE". PACIFIC HONDA SAID IT'S A NEW CAR, GIVE IT TIME TO LIMBER-UP. WHAT A JOKE. INDEPENDENT HONDA MECHANIC IDENTIFIED AUTO-TRANS PROBLEM. I REQUESTED NEW CAR - HONDA REFUSED. I PAID FOR A NEW CAR, AND CONTINUE TO MAKE AUTO-PAYMENTS FOR A NEW CAR, BUT HAVE NEVER ENJOYED THE PERFORMANCE OR RELIABILITY OF A NEW CAR. I REQUESTED THAT PACIFIC HONDA SAVE MY OLD PART (TRANSMISSION) - THEY REFUSED. I UNDERSTOOD A NEW TRANSMISSION WOULD BE INSTALLED - THEY TOLD ME WHEN I PICKED IT UP THAT A RE-BUILT TRANSM. HAD BEEN INSTALLED. NOW, AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS W/REBUILT, I SENSE ENGINE JERKINESS WHEN DRIVING VEHICLE. PLEASE HELP!*AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:ANTI-THEFT:CONTROL MODULE
CONCERNING THE IGINITION SWITCH RECALL ON HONDA VEHICLES - WHY SHOULD CONSUMERS BE MADE TO PAY ALMOST ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS TO HAVE AN ALARM SYSTEM REWIRED FOR THE VEHICLE??? THE RECALL WAS NOT THE FAULT OF THE CONSUMER, AND HONDA DEALERSHIPS ARE CHARGING EXORBITANT PRICES TO HAVE THE ALARM SYSTEM REWIRED. EVEN IF THE ALARM IS NOT A HONDA PART, THE 1997 MODEL DID NOT COME WITH AN ALARM, SO OBVIOUSLY ONE HAD TO BE BOUGHT, AND IF THE HONDA HAS TO REMOVE THE WIRES BECAUSE OF THEIR RECALL, THEN THERE SHOULD BE NO REASON TO HAVE TO PAY SUCH HIGH FEES TO HAVE THOSE WIRES REPLACED.*AK
