Transmission was making a beeping, whistling noise when shifting gears on city street. My car was not a year old and transmission was replaced with re-manufactured. It is still not running as before problem. I am hearing noise such as sounding like rake being drug on concrete and whistling noise. Dealership says there is nothing that they can do. No lights are on, nor were they on before. Only 12,000 additional miles given with part. (not exceptable to me).
The vehicle started making noises when shifting gears and the local dealer asked me to stop by a week later for diagnosis. This made me believe that it may not be a big issue as the dealership did not find it alarming after knowing about the symptoms the car was displaying. When I was driving the next day, the dashboard started displaying error messages like emission error and transmission error, started jerking and slowed down abruptly coming almost to a halt. While on the highway with 70 mph as max speed, I managed to take the vehicle to the side and on the shoulder. I was traveling with family, including children, and it was a very agonizing experience. A few days later, the Honda dealership where I left the vehicle fixed the issue by replacing a cap which was causing leak from the transmission. Part number 06233-5j4-000 was replaced.
