POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TRANSMISSION REPLACED AT 1308 MILES & NOW THE CAR DOESN'T RIDE SMOOTH. AT LOWER SPEED THE CAR IS JERKY, HESITATES, SLOW DOWN VERY QUICKLY AS SOON AS YOU LEFT OFF THE GAS, FEELS LLIKE THE BRAKE IS ON. ALSO HAS A NOISE COMING FROM FRONT RIGHT OF CAR EVERYTIME I START UP AND PULL AWAY I HEAR IT ONCE. DIDN'T HEAR IT WITH THE ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION. THE WHOLE FEEL OF THE CAR DRIVING IS VERY DIFFERENT WITH THE NEW TRANSMISSION AND I REALLY DON'T LIKE IT. IT'S NOT SMOOTH AND FLOWY LIKE THE FIRST TRANSMISSION. IT'S VERY TIGHT AND FEELS LIKE YOU CONSTANTLY NEED GAS. RIDES TERRIBLE ON HILLS. I TOLD HONDA THAT MY WHEELS PULL LEFT ON HIGHWAY DRIVING AND THEY TOLD ME THAT'S NORMAL. NOT HAPPY HERE. *AK

THIS IS MY SECOND TIME FILLING OUT THIS REPORT , I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY SOMETHING. I RECEIVEDA NEW TRANSMISSION WHEN THE CAR HAD ONLY 1308 MILES ON IT BECAUSE THE FIRST TRANSMISSION CLUNKED EVERYTIME I BACKED UP. THE REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION RIDES NOWHERE AS NICE AS THE FIRST TRANSMISSION IN FORWARD GEARS. I EXPLAINED ALL THE PROBLEMS IN THE FIRST REPORT I SUBMITTED TO YOU. THANKS. *AK

SPEEDOMETER IS NOT ACCURATE. IT APPEARS TO BE FROM 7 TO 10 MPH OFF FROM SURROUNDING TRAFFIC. DEALER CLAIMS IT IS WITHIN THE 10% ALLOWABLE DIFFERENCE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. THEY TELL US WHEN IT READS 65 WE ARE ACTUALLING GOING 60. THEY HAVE NOT PROVIDED ANY DOCUMENTATION TO SUPPORT THE INACCURACY. *AK

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DIFFERENTIAL UNIT
VEHICLE RUNS WELL BUT EVERY TIME YOU INITIALLY START UP AND BACK UP IT JOLTS YOU AS YOU RELEASE THE BRAKES AND START MOVING. IT IS MORE NOTICEABLE IN REVERSE THAN DRIVE. IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES BUT THEY REFUSE TO INVESTIGATE SAYING THE MANUFACTURER IS WORKING ON IT. I FEAR THE DRIVETRAIN WILL FALL APART WHILE DRIVING CAUSING A MAJOR ACCIDENT.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
A LOUD, MECHANICAL "THUNK" IS HEARD WHEN THE CAR IS PUT INTO REVERSE - THE SOUND COMES AFTER THE CAR ROLLS BACK 2-3 FEET. IT IS VERY DISCONCERTING. THE DEALER SAYS THAT THE PROBLEM IS "UNDER INVESTIGATION" BY HONDA AND THAT A TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT MAY BE NECESSARY. THEY CAN DO NOTHING UNTIL HONDA FIGURES OUT HOW TO HANDLE IT. I ASSUME THE CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE ??? *AK
