POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WAS TOLD BY DEALER THAT CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION. THE COST FOR THE NEW TRANSMISSION IS $3,000.00. WE ONLY HAD 80,000 MILES ON OUR ACCORD WHEN THE TRANSMISSION WENT BAD. WE REALLY EXPECTED THE TRANSMISSION WOULD LAST LONGER THAN 80,000. MILES. IF YOU HAVE ANY ADVICE OR INFORMATION SIMILIAR TO OUR PROBLEM WE WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR HELP. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
