Re: 1999 Accord V6 transmission problems
Those that result in a vehicle not operating properly, or not at
all. I.E. Failed plug wire (minor) or a Tranny (major). A loose door latch or inoperable cigar lighter does not cause the vehicle to not operate properly or quit. If one subscribes to J. D. Powers service you will see they list things by category, rather than just the totals they publish of defects per thousand vehicles.. mike bunt Gorton McGrew wrote: > > First, Mike Hunt said: > > > the > >mean average failure rate, minor and not so minor, for ALL > >new cars sold in the US is about .0124% in the first three > >years. > > Then, on Thu, 04 Sep 2003 23:38:50 GMT, MikeHunt2@mailcity.com wrote: > > >.
