Takata recall: my transmission of my vehicle needs to be replaced because a faulty part was used in the vehicle. The transmission slips and will cost $3,000 to fix because honda used a bad part. Honda has recalled transmissions in honda accords years in close proximity of the vehicles year. They however did not do this one and i feel like i shouldn't have to pay for their mistake.

Electrical issues with lights, transmission has various issues after i've spent over $2,000 trying to get it fixed. The sensors go out or start acting up a short time after i've replaced them. The car will shut off and leave you to get hit because it takes seconds to minutes to get started again. Lights go on and off on their own.

The automatic transmission slips and jerks when shifting gears--it is worse when i stop, the engine idles, and then severely jerks when i accelerate, but the jerking motion also happens going up inclines. It is so bad, it has caused broken motor mounts. I have no doubt that the transmission is eventually going to fail, which could be hazardous while driving. Though i take good care of my car, i thought that maybe it…

The a/c drain i strongly believe was installed improperly which causes the sub-frame to rust and crack. I bought the car with only 82,358 miles and purchased a…
