Transmission Toast at 44,000 miles! 2002 Civic EX
Hi,
I had a 2002 Honda Civic EX for one year. Previous owner did all maintenance required. Car always run like a charm. Yesterday while driving uphill on a mild slope the transmission just blew-up! The car came to a complete stop and in the middle of the road and it would not move forward or backwards. My mechanic wants to charge me 4K to rebuid it. I almost passed out! Aren't these cars supposed to be reliable?! I called a specialized transmission shop and they cannon believe that a transmission would just blow in a Honda with 44K miles, specially without any warning. They want to diagnose it and would charge me 2K worse case-scenario. Honda dealership wants to look at it and they say they might be able to do something since I am only 9K out of the warantee, but if they have to replace it it would be even more than 4K. Hell, the ftranny reight from Japan would be 400 bucks! I am sooo disapointed with Honda! This is my 3rd Honda. My last one was stolen and I took my chances buying a new one just for the reliability! I am sooo pised! Any advice? Patty |
