POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAVE A 1998 ACCORD V6 WITH 78K MILES AND SLIPPING TRANSMISSION LIKE MANY MANY OTHERS. HONDA HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ONLY ON 2000-2002 MODELS AS THEY WOULD BE UNDER WARRANTY ANYWAY. BUT THIS IS DESIGN/QUALITY CONTROL ISSUE AND THE TRANSMISIONS FROM 98-02 ARE ALL THE SAME. SO 1998 & 1999 CARS SHOULD ALSO BE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL AS THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS. YOU CAN GO TO COMPLAINTSTATION. COME FOR SOME PEOPLE'S POST ON THESE TRANSMISSION FAILURES, AND MANY OTHER INTERNET SITES AS GREAT MANY PEOPLE ARE AFFECTED BY THIS. THIS IS GREATLY A SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL, BECAUSE YOU CAN NEVER RELY ON YOUR CAR TO ACCELERATE WHEN YOU NEED TO, AND TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS ON ITS' OWN IN HIGHWAY FROM D4 TO D2 CAUSING AN IMMEDIATE ENGINE BRAKING.
