My check engine light came on. Went to the dealership, they discovered 2 error codes - p1676(ignition switch) and p0740(transmission), they suggested replacing ignition, which i ok'd and they did for $286.58. They hoped the second error code would go away, but it didn't. Now i am looking at a few thousand dollars expense to replace transmission. The car on the day of the visit 9/26/2008 had 80,702 miles on it. I am…

Then i started googling and found many sites reporting the same horror stories here i realized that many of these vehicles were manufactured with…

At approx. 70,000 miles transmission went out. Was still under warranty at the time and was replaced. Now at approx. 105,000 transmission has gone out again. Honda refuses to acknowledge the problem or to help rectify a potential defect in transmission because the warranty has expired. *js

Is there any hope/help that the nhtsa can offer to influence honda…
