POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
CAN YOU PLEASE HELP US. THE CAR HAS BEEN TO 2 DIFFERENT DEALERS AND NEITHER WILL TELL US WHATS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. THEY DONT KNOW WHY. WE JUST GOT CAR BACK AND ITS STILL SHIFTING STRANGE. CAR HAS NO POWER FOR PASSING IN LOW GEAR. THIS IS GETTING DANGEROUS TO DRIVE ON THE FREEWAY BECAUSE WHEN THE TRANSMISSION GOES OUT IT HAS NO POWER AT ALL. NEVERMIND GETTING STUCK ON THE FREEWAY. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CALL US IF ANY FURTHER INFO IS NEEDED. THANKS JEAN DELUCIA

SUSPENSION:FRONT
THE LEFT FRONT SUSPENSION HAS A LOUD AND DISTINCT CRACK UPON TAKE OFF AND STOPPING OF THE VEHICLE. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS MAINLY IN COLD WEATHER. AS WELL AS THE SOUND, THE DRIVER CAN FEEL THE NOISE IN THE FLOORBOARD OF THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT. THE MANUFACTURER STATES THAT THIS IS A CHARACTARISTIC OF THE VEHICLE AND THAT NOTHING CAN BE DONE ABOUT IT. THE MANUFACTURER CAN PROVIDE NO FACTS TO BASE THIS DECISION ON NOR DID THE MANUFACTURER'S REPRESENTATIVE EVEN LOOK AT THE MECHANICS OF THE PROBLEM VEHICLE. THE REP BASED HIS "CHARACTARISITC" CLAIM ON MY VEHICLE AND ANOTHER SIMILAR VEHICLE ,MAKING THE NOISE. THERE IS NO OTHER COMPLAINTS TO HONDA TECH LINE FROM MECHANICS IN REFERENCE TO THIS PROBLEM. THE HONDA REP STATES THAT IT IS THE BUSHINGS IN THE SUSPENSION WITHOUT EVEN LOOKING AT THE VEHICLE, AND THE MECHANICS AT THE DEALERSHIP CANNOT LOCATE ANY FAULTY BUSHINGS. *AK
