MY RADIO AND A/C DISPLAY WENT OUT. I HAVE TO TURN ON MY INTERIOR LIGHTS AT NIGHT TO ADJUST THE TEMPERATURE IN MY CAR. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IF MY WINDOWS GET FOGGY AND I CANNOT FIX IT WITHOUT PULLING OFF OF THE ROAD. THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY $1000 FOR A PROBLEM THAT ALL OF THESE MODELS ARE HAVING. *TT

TRANSMISSION SLIPPAGE AND FAILURE. SIMILAR TO WHAT I HAVE SINCE READ ONLINE ABOUT OTHER HONDA TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AND RECALLS. HONDA QUOTED ME $4,100 TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION, LESS A DISCOUNT OF 20% OR NET OF $3,280. I HAVE IMPECCABLE SERVICE RECORDS AND LOCAL DEALERSHIP (WHERE I BOUGHT CAR FROM) AGREED THAT I COULD NOT HAVE DONE ANY BETTER WITH MAINTENANCE--ALL OF WHICH WAS PERFORMED AT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. NO PREVIOUS PROBLEMS AND TRANSMISSION SLIPPAGE AND FAILURE WAS SUDDEN (COUPLE OF DAYS). MOST RECENT TRANSMISSION FLUSH WAS AT THE HONDA SUGGESTED MILEAGE. *TT

TRANSMISSION FAILED. ONE DAY IT IS WORKING FINE THE NEXT DAY PER THE HONDA DEALER THE TRANSMISSION IS UNREPAIRABLE AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE COST TO ME WAS QUOTED AT $4100.00. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW, THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION, I WONDER WHEN HONDA IS GOING TO NOTIFY ME OF THE RECALL? *TR
