1 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 07/12/2006

The problem started with a defective cvt type transmission. Complained to american Honda and they agreed to replace the transmission if I paid $504 in labor costs. One year later the transmission died again, I now believe they only flushed out the old transmission I doubt they replaced the transmission. I complained again and had it replaced. Now the problem is the check engine light. It cost $80 just for them check the computer which has been done twice. I was told that the car's computer was malfunctioning and that there was nothing seriously was wrong with the car. Had the computer replaced after splitting the cost with american Honda so it cost me $396. Two weeks later the check engine light is back on, I went to advanced auto parts and had the computer codes read for free they said it was a malfunctioning O2 sensor, now the dealership wants another $260 each sensor plus labor to change both sensors.
