problem #2

May 242016

Accord EX-L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 105,000 miles

@ 105k, zero warning: car starts to overheat and transmission starts slipping while driving. Within 5 minutes of rolling through traffic, my car completely overheats and pressing the gas does nothing. I pull over and pop the hood, both transmission and coolant are leaking very quickly. Got towed to the dealer, got told I had to replace the radiator AND transmission line. Dealer blamed me for "bottoming out" and severing the line. Also had to flush my transmission line, radiator stuff, AND heating. Seems premature to have the radiator crap out...dealer didn't propose alternative solutions, just made me spend the $1500 to replace everything.

Honda must have a real problem. My old Camry took 10+ years and 250,000 mile before it needed a recharge of coolant!!
