Hi, I have a 2000 Honda Prelude. It is the automatic version with the sport shifter. Recently my transmission has been acting more than usual. From when I bought my car in November of 2009 and until June 18th 2011, my transmission shifted into each gear fine, but did have some abnormal shifts on some days. From June 18th 2011 in the afternoon and until June 25th 2011, my car's transmission started to slip and shifted really harsh in every gear. The worst gear is 3rd. Third gear slips really bad and has a late delay when shifting to 4th.

I received a safety recall from the american Honda motor company stating that I needed to make an appointment at the authorized Honda dealer, due my from my car whatsoever transmission. 2 weeks later I was unable to remove my key from my car whatsoever reverse, or place my car in park so therefore I parked in neutral with the brake on my recall notice specifically stated that these exact problems would occur and would be repaired free of charge or reimbursed. And Honda dealer I followed instruction from recall letter and Honda dealer has failed to remedy the defect in my vehicle without charge and Honda automobile customer service has not been completely repaired but how can I completely repair it if they don't reimburse my money and keep making me pay for repairs of a recall.
