During a trip, the car began to have a rumble in the drivetrain. Expecially at a bout 40-45 mph. Took car to dealer and they told us that the differential was faulty and they needed to replace the transmission. They would only replace with a factory rebuilt, not new. No extension on warranty. This was the second one they had in a month. Transmissions had been on back order which sounds like they had more with problems.

While @ incline in drive the car quickly rolls back as if in neutral and does not stop unless you brake. I have taken the car to the Honda dealer and they compared it to another on the lot. They said the one on the lot did the same thing so they determined it must be a characteristic of the vehicle. The tech said because it is a 4 cylinder it doesn't have enough torche to hold the weight. I also called american Honda at an 800 number provided on their website and per roxanna this is a characteristic of the car.

This model Honda makes a loud noise, coming from the underneath the car, when first started cold. The sound is more like a "thump" and is supspected (although I'm not certain) to be either the transmission or the exhaust system. I tried several different cars and the noise was consistent. The dealer tells me the noise is "normal" which is absurd. Honda has a recall pending on earlier model cars for an exhaust syustem problem--I'm wondering if this could be related. I am not an expert so do not know if this is a serious matter or not.
