It sucks when stuff happens...

So are you the first or second owner of this car? I can't decide from what
you have written below. The first and last statements seem to contradict
each other.

Either way, Honda will likely help if you're the original owner. If you're
not the original owner, don't get belligerent with the Honda CR rep. lest
you get told to pound sand.

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?

I baught a 2002 civic, auto tranny. The previous owner had it on a lease so
probably never maintained it...who knows. But the tranny was going through
1st and 2nd gears in a weird way in my opinion. My own mechanic felt it
wasn't that bad in his opinion. Anyhow. went to the dealer, and they changed
the tranny free of charge after a 2 minute test drive. So yours is also
covered by honda's warranty. just go at the dealer and have it replaced.
