The transmission in my 2002 honda accord is completely busted. I bought it used in 2005 and didn't have any problems up until 2009. Recently i've read that honda issued an extension on the transmissions up to 7yrs 60,000 miles. However when i bought the car, i had no idea that had been implemented. Not a peep. My car has just over 61,000 and just over 7yrs old. Just out of warranty. Now, i've had several estimates…

I own a 2002 honda accord, which has 90k miles on it currently. Over the past year car hesitates and shifts hard. There have been numerous times when turning in front of oncoming traffic when this hesitation would almost cause an accident. Having a car that hesitates when it shifts is very dangerous because other drivers are not aware of this and expect your car to accelerate normally. There are other times when…
