One year ago I purchased a 2001 honda accord at the time it had 106,000 miles on it. I hadn't had the car a week when I noticed the transmission was slipping. The problem has continually gotten worse. I checked online to see if they had any recalls etc. On this model and sure enough honda said they would replace the transmissions up to 100,000 miles - so here I am a year later looking at $2,000 for a new transmission. In addition my passenger side air bag light continually comes on for now apparent reason, even if there is no one sitting in the seat. I also have problems with the window on the passenger side; the "part" that holds the window up somehow broke and to replace it costs over $200. And finally (well I hope) my brakes seem to have a mind of their own, at times they make funny noises, sometimes they feel like they aren't going to work. If seems as if its not one thing its another. Very frustrated. And now another recall.
