Intermittently vehicle will not go into gear. Dealer has repaired the vehicle and the problem still exists.
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.
Driving vehicle & heard funny noises. Took to dealer. Mechanic noticed bearings & distributor had gone bad. Mechanic thought there was a recall. Manufacturer is not acknowledging that vehicle is involved in a recall.
On this vehicle the engine balance shaft oil seal dislodges, potently causing an underhood fire or the engine to seize. On a manual transmission vehicle this could results in a loss of control while driving. This failure is catastrophic, without any warning, resulting in a complete loss of engine oil into the environment. Complete oil loss occurs in approximately about 3 minutes. Again, the possible safety problems are engine fire and seizure. Minor complications are the requirement of new or remanufactured engine. This problem is also documented in a service bulletin: service bulletin number: 961001b / bulletin sequence no.: 46 / the federal safety agency item no.: sb049981
