I was traveling when the check engine light came on, and 3 hours from home my car made an awful racket and sounded as if i was dragging a body under my car while expelling the most putrid smell i have ever encountered. This break down, on october 22, 2010, left me stranded all weekend, as most body shops do not do repairs on friday evening, saturday, or sunday. I also had to miss class and work the following monday…

Am bringing to honda for repair, but want "goodwill repair" as this is the 3rd transmission for this vehicle. (2001 honda accord). There was a recall shortly after i purchased vehicle and the original transmission was replaced. *tr
