NHTSA complaint #719250, filed 2000-02“When I was driving it to work, it began to pull back as if I had the e-brake on, which I did not. I took it into be looked at and they said the transmission needed to be replaced. The mileage is so low that I dont understand why it needs to be replaced, that the transmission oil was dark & burnt. We have had the car only 2months so how could that be our fault if the dealership did their safety check properly on the car. This is a defect on the part of the dealer we purchased it at (star ford) as is the fault of the Honda dealer.”
