At only 93,000 miles, my transmission is shot. Just one year after my extended warranty runs out based on time, not mileage. Honda's reputation of reliability makes people not even expect to buy a warranty. Their reputation is a lie. Any american car would have a 100,000 mile warranty the transmission. I will definitely never buy a honda again. The financial burden of replacing a transmission so early on is not easy…

My 05 honda accord v6 auto transmission gave up on me only at 65000 miles. Honda does not want to pay for it because the warranty has expired and they quoted me over $4400 to replace it with a new one but the only has 65k miles on it. I'll never buy another honda for this reason. *tr

Car shutters between 35mph and 40mph and has lost transmission fluid. Its problems are exactly like those in a prior class action suit against honda. They haven't fixed the problem. A recall was received for a software update for the transmission, i think they are just trying to see how many they have out there doing what they have already been sued for. After the software update nothing changed. *tr
