I just brought a 2001 honda accord almost two months ago.The same day after I brought it the transmission started jumping in first gear
The next day I called him back the car dealership and told him so he tells me to bring in back in and we will look at it.So a couple days later I take to to him and I leave it there for a couple hours and he tells me nothing wrong with that's how older honda drive.Ok so i'm like maybe that's right.Them a week passes by the check engine light came on so i take it to the auto parts store to get the codes it comes back as the neutral safety switch.So i call the dealer ship and tell him and he tells me to go to a mechanic shop and if it is the safety switch he said he will pay for the part.So i was like ok great.So maybe two weeks pass by the shifting is getting more jumping so i decided to take it to aamco transmission and they drive it and tell me right away the tranny is going out needs to be rebuilt.Ugh i was so mad. 2,500 hundred to rebuild it.So i call the salesmen and tell him. Now he changed the whole story about helping me and trying to get me into another vehicle now he wants more money from me to get me into another vehicle now. I'm not giving him no more I already have him 2,000 down for the car plus the first payment. The car is jumping really bad now. What should I tell him. I know i brought the car as is. But dam he should help me out.
Unfortunately you bought a Honda made during the Honda transmission plague (1998-2005) when many Honda/Acura V6 models had high auto transmission failure rates. There's nothing you can do since you bought the car "as-is". Get an opinion from a different repair shop or just get to an auto parts store and buy a bottle of "transmission anti-slip fix" to pour into the transmission which can sometimes remedy the problem so you can trade it in for something else at a different dealer.
You bought the car as is. The dealer owes you nothing
Sorry, without a written warranty (which usually would only be 30 days or 1000 miles anyway) you are responsible for the cost of repair
That's the problem with that vintage Honda, and Honda is well aware of the problem. They got several years of lemon transmissions. You need your transmission replaced- no 2 ways about it.
It depends on whether you bought the car in "As Is" condition. If you do feel your being ripped off your best bet is to contact the Better Business Bureau of Auto Repair. They're the ones to talk to in your situation.
Most transmission shops just try to sell you a rebuilt transmission when you walk in the door.
Go to a Honda dealer and pay them the diagnostic fee to check the car out. Then take the paper work with the results back to where you bought the vehicle. If they refuse to fix the problem it's time for an attorney.
- My honda activa has started losing mileage just after 2 k km - what should I do/check? Initially my activa was giving around 40 km/lit, in city conditions, but since last 100 km the mileage has dropped down to @ 25km/lit; also if the engine is left idling the speed drops and then the engine stalls/stops. Could it be a dirty carburettor or/and something else. I have not changed the grade of fuel or the petrol pump station. Also this has come to notice since my last free service, done in June'14. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
- Bought a 1985 Honda inspector kid told me it needed new battery but started with jump got new battery and it was dead next day? Pretty sure its the alternator just wanted some second opinions also I got the bike for 600 dollars you guys think thats a good deal
- Is the 1985 Honda CR 500 water pump gear shaft compatible with the 86-2001 Honda CR 500 water pump gear shaft? I have a 1985 CR 500 and the water pump gear shaft broke. It has been discontinued from Honda, and no one else has it. It is a metal gear. The one's for the 1986-2001 CR 500 are plastic. If I have to use plastic, I will. However, I prefer not to. If anyone knows where I can get the OEM 1985 Honda CR 500 gear shaft, I would forever be grateful.
- I just got a car sales job about 2 months ago. I'm currently working at Honda and i'm trying to bring customers in through facebook? I'm posting cars in different groups where they advertise cars and also in the market place, and every time i post a car i get about 4 messages about the car. I can never seem to get them to come in the store though, and its frustrating! How do you build value through a message so they have the urge to come in the next day and at least look at what your offering?
