Driving south on rt84, just entering CT, the engine begins to over-rev to 8000rpms. The cruise control was on, and the car was traveling at approximately 65mph. The transmission failed, disengaging out of drive. Coasting, the engine was operating, normal rpms for idle speed. Trying to reengage the transmission at a lower gear, failed. Pulled off rt84 in vernon rockville, CT, and made it to a parking lot. Engine over-reving to get transmission to engage. Parked, the car was allowed to sit, shut off for 45 minutes. Restarted car, attempted to drive, and the transmission failed to engage in any forward gear. Was able to engage the transmission in reverse, but not in a forward gear. Had car towed to Honda dealer in manchester, CT. Dealer subsequently confirmed the vehicle required a transmission replacement. Up to this point, no sign of transmission trouble; no slippage, no hesitation. Transmission was approximately 70,000 miles old, having been replaced at Honda dealer under recall back in 2004, at approximately 32,000 miles.
My minivans fails to change gears like it should. When I'm driving down the highway the minivans seems to hesitate to change gears. I would not consider this a problem but my minivans carries four children in it at all times. If I'm going down the highway like I'm always doing what happens when my minivans transmission decides to go? I'm up the creek without a paddle and I have my four children with me. I just don't think so. This problem has been occurring on and off for about two weeks. I would love have this problem fixed as soon as possible but you need money to fix something like this and I don't have the money to fix this problem. So what am I to do? simple right? wrong I need to borrow a vehicle from a family member to take my kids to school and do what I need to do.
Well maintained vehicle with less than 150,000 miles of mixed city/country driving requires third transmission. Required replacement with new transmission. In our case the vehicle failed to engage gears, stranding us in -40 degree wind chill.
Transmission failed while driving. Dealer "fixed" transmission per manufacturer's recommendation and specifications and it failed a second time one week after first repair. I did not have an accident, but I could have had I been accelerating to merge onto a highway or another situation when not getting into gear would be a danger.
In reverse gear and going back two feet, consumer will hear a loud clunk noise as though it's going into another gear. Dealer will replace transmission.
