2003 Honda Accord Transmission Problems Part II @honda

As I posted a earlier this month and you may have read about my experience with the 2003 Honda Accord V6 transmission issues.

The latest on this is that the car is still at the dealer and the transmission is on major back order, estimates are it could take a month for the dealer to receive the transmission.  Why is there such a back order? We could speculate that Honda is experiencing a run due to increased failure in the transmissions. We are seeing many more complaints being reported on the NHSTA site where if you are experiencing any problem with your vehicle you can search and post.

So what should Honda do about this situation?

Should Honda issue and expand the recall for previous year Honda Accords?

Obviously, we are seeing the problem with these transmissions as they are even difficult  for the dealer to order.

Meanwhile my 2003 Honda Accord sits at the Honda dealer, and I have no car.   I could take it and drive it until the transmission really fails, but then I would be setting myself up for what could be a very dangerous situation.

I request that Honda provide me with a loaner car while my car is fixed.
