"takata recall" I have a Honda and it has less than 100,000 miles on it and my transmission is not working. I have taken it to two different mechanics both say the same. To get in contact with Honda and to make a complaint that my car is low on miles to be giving me this kind of problems. I take really good care of my car and it is very disappointed to have this kind of a problem on a well taken car.

The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the technician flushed the transmission fluid however the failure recurred.

While driving on the highway at 60 mph, my car rapidly slowed down to 15mph. I was almost seriously injured due to the nature that there was cars behind me. On the road the car would not accelerate over 20 mph. There was plenty of revving once it hit 20mph. There was no warning lights to let me know there was something wrong with the car. The car always drove in great condition and all of a sudden a major failure of the transmission occurred without warning. And Honda seems not to acknowledge the problem.

The contact owns a 2002 Honda Civic. The contact was driving 30 mph when the vehicle suddenly accelerated abnormally at a rapid pace. The contact was unable to control the vehicle and shifted into park in order to stop the unintended acceleration. The vehicle did not stop until crashing into the rear of another vehicle. The police arrived to the scene and advised that the accelerator was stuck. The vehicle was then towed to a local dealer where they were unable to locate or duplicate the failure. The vehicle was later inspected by a personal friend who discovered an aluminum shard from the spectre air filter (model number: 888911) (na) was lodged between the housing and the butterfly, causing the throttle to become stuck open and the vehicle to accelerate. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 96,000.

The contact owns a 2002 Honda Civic. While driving 25 mph, the vehicle lost all braking and steering power. The vehicle would restart, but would shut off immediately afterwards. The vehicle had to be towed. The dealer provided the contact with error code p0341. The contact stated that the failure was due to a faulty ecm, which the dealer then updated. He was concerned that he was sold a vehicle without being informed of the ecm upgrade. Honda offered to pay 50% of the labor cost. The failure mileage was 69,960.

The car was purchased new on April 20, 2002. Since the very first day several problems were discovered which Honda has been unable to resolve. One ongoing problem is a vibration at 55 mph in the steering wheel, which Honda has attributed to a wheel balance problem and tire problem. The car has been serviced 14 times by Honda and firestone (tire manufacturer) and merchant tire (balance). Honda tried to balance the wheels and after several failed attempts told me it was a problem with faulty tires (oem). Honda told me they could do nothing further about the problem and told me I had to take care of the problem on my own with the tire manufacturer despite the fact that the car was obviously still under Honda warranty. None of the balancing solved the problem and Honda told me it must be defective (original) tires. Firestone them replaced 3 tires under warranty and the problem still persisted. They attempted to balance the wheels 2 more times. I went back to Honda and they balanced the wheels again with no success and they would not investigate the problem further. There are several other problems. One is a problem with hissing and static in the radio reception when the rear window defogger is on (since new). Honda replaced the radio and defogger switch but the problem is still there. Another problem is a visibility problem in the rear window (since new). A hazy sticky film develops on the rear window. It is very difficult to clean with household glass cleaner. Another problem is that the original Honda floor mat wore right through when the car was not even a year old. I had to purchase a whole set for about $90. The drivers seat upholstery also began to wear prematurely. Another problem that developed over the past year is a damp moldy musty odor coming from the air conditioner/heater vents. The odor is sometimes strong and when I turn on the ac or heater it makes me cough and feel ill. I am very disappointed in the quality of this vehicle.

I was parking my car and the car accelerated and I hit a light pole.
