Replying to: webby1 (Dec 14, 2005 7:32 am) Have you checked your cold tire pressures against the inflation specifications on the door jam label? If your wife's car is pulling to the right, it sounds like one front tire has more or less air than the other.

Replying to: bmr123 (Dec 14, 2005 6:27 am) XM radio IS sluggish to change station, just the way it works. The only explanation to it being even more sluggish in the winter, which I doubt, maybe clouds, or atmospheric interference, since your car gets the XM signal directly from the Satelite up there high in the sky...

After posting slippage problems over the last few months, my '03 EX V6 tranny quit this evening with 51k miles. The 2nd gear slipped about 8-10 times over the course of 20k miles before failing today. Yes, it passed the 2nd gear color inspection recall. I pulled the car onto the shoulder of a busy interstate in rush hour. The smell of burnt trans fluid filled the car. The engine was revving as I pushed the accelerator but the car did not move. To make a long story short, I was able to limp the car into my driveway. I refuse to pay for a tranny replacement on a $26k car (I bought brand new) with 51K miles. Honda should goodwill a new trans. |

| I have a brand new 2006 Accord EX, and from the factory, the rubber seating that helps guide the flap into place so it will latch, was misapplied (its hard to explain where it is, but it is on the door above the latch (not on the car)). This caused the gas flap to pop open any time the trunk was shut tight, or a door was closed hard. Took it to the dealer and had them fix it while I watched...simple procedure. Just in case someone else out there has this problem, I wanted to let you know its a VERY EASY and QUICK fix, and not a big problem. Now, for the next 1,000 miles! | |

Replying to: blackexv6 (Dec 14, 2005 6:34 pm) 1.) Did you ever change the trans fluid? 2.) If the answer to this question is "yes", did you use Honda fluid? 3.) Did you purchase a Honda extended warranty? FACT: Honda does not have to "good will" anything! You are well beyond the 3 year / 36,000 mile new vehicle warranty. If you wanted to protect your vehicle investment, you could have purchased a 7 year / 100,000 mile warranty for $875.00 at the time of the vehicle purchase. You cannot have it both ways, (saving on the purchase price of the warranty, and getting a warranty as "good will") You took a gamble and you lost!

| I might agree with U djm2, except for the fact that Honda tried to fix their transmissions. Meaning they saw a problem. Their fix did not work in this case. Obviously they owe some relief in my opinion. | |
