1 Transmission Gear Slipping problem

Failure Date: 01/12/2016

(1/12/2016) while trying to merge onto the highway the car jolted and the engine revved up and the transmission disengaged causing the car to stall. The car behind me came barreling up on my bumper nearly crashing into me. This is a very dangerous issue. Had my children been in the car, and the driver behind me not been so alert (praise the lord), this could have had devastating consequences. After that instance the transmission kept slipping and the engine would rev up again and again, the transmission would not engage, and the car would jolt forward and back. This car only has 112,000 miles on it. All our maintenance and repairs have been per schedule and performed at the Honda dealership so there is no excuse for this transmission to fail this early. I checked the transmission fluid to see if that may have contributed to the issue, however it was full and clean (thanks to regular maintenance). In researching this further I found several complaints about this model experiencing the same issue. It turns out that there has been a recall of over 1 million vehicles on this very problem back in 2004 (ntsa reference #04v176000, April 15, 2004). There has also been a class action lawsuit covering several Honda models related to this issue. This failure is unacceptable given Honda's reputation for quality and dependability. Not to mention the fact that I have 4 children, and had this been under different circumstances could have had catastrophic results. Please Honda; do the right thing and fix this issue.
