They informed me that a new transmission needed to be installed (appx. $4800). I found myself in a predicament because the kbbv was only between $4000-$5500. I was not pleased that a honda could need a new tranny with that low mileage (we moved to…

This is…

Honda offered $1,000.00 toward the repair which i declined. This is a huge safety issue, not to mention wrong since i can no longer use the car.…
