I bought a 2003 honda accord coupe v6 used that now has 40k miles. I just started having problems with the car not wanting to shift into second gear almost acting like it slips into neutral. after googling "2003 honda accord recalls" i found that there was a recall for the auto trans. problem. I found a 1-800 number to call honda, I spoke with someone at that number who did verify that there is a recall and after i gave her my VIN number they told me that this vehicle was serviced in
2004. obviously there is still a problem. Then she tells me that since the car now has 40k miles and is older than 3 years, the factory will no longer cover this repair!! how can that be if it is a RECALL ! I've read that the problem is related to heat and is most likely related to inadaquate transmission oil cooling. Does anyone know how i should go about getting this resolved without me having to pay out of pocket? I didnt make the car and if its a manufacturer recall i dont see why they shouldnt be offering to take care of this for me.has anyone dealt with similair circumstances purchasing an accord used and then getting the recall serviced after 3 yr/36K miles?
