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.

The seal on the balance shaft came out, draining all the engine oil out of the car. Possibly causing engine damage. The car had it's timing belt changed, now it has to be done again. Could have caused an engine fire. Honda does not have a recall but should. Dorman made a part to lock the seal in to prevent it from happening. Honda should have to reimburse for the expense. *tr
