As i was driving on the highway, the tcs light and check engine light turned on. The green light around the d started blinking. I brought it to my mechanic who stated that it was a transmission problem but being that my car only has 60k miles on it, i find that hard to believe. I called the dealership who stated that i wasn't under warranty and that it would cost about $2500 to replace. I've just read through a few…

1. I am feeling that my car's transmission is slipping. 2. Everyday 3. I think i need to change transmission? But why for this type of new car? It's a honda 2002 accord.

My 2002 honda accord ex doesn't shift out of first until it goes into limp mode (very hard shift). The d light then begins to blink and my check engine light comes on. If i am on a hill the car will roll backwards while in drive and my car isn't a standard. I do not feel safe if a car is behind me. I have had it looked at and all i have found was it may be a solenoid or just a faulty transmission. It happens every…

My transmission failed after only 37,140 miles. After negotiation, honda replaced it; we shared the costs. Remanufactured transmission now failed; i regularly maintain it. Honda wants to charge $5000 to replace; honda said they would pay 60% of parts; labor extra. Aamco rebuilds for $2200 - $2800 total parts & labor. Honda "offered" to share costs. Seems even more unreasonable given seeming inflated costs.…
