So i was in a rush to get to class this morning... it was about 20 degrees outside... and i didn't let it heat up before driving off... so i started driving it in "D" and it starts reving up to 5k only going 20mph... do you think the car is broken?? or something?? what could be wrong?? i've been doing this "don'tstartthecardrive to class" thing for 2 days now and regret it.. but this only happened today... i'm letting the car warmup as of right now... and once it heats up to drive it to see if its just the cold weather... oh i drive an 01 sedan lx btw... what do u think could be the problem? oh and theres no "check engine" light either

^what he said. if you put it in N and the engine sounds normal, it's probably your transmission.

goddamit...i thought honda's were bulletproof.. guess i was wrong

it sucks man.. because i had this car forever... only have 71k miles on it..

now i don't know what i'm gonna do... i only have around 1k in the bank cuz i'm a broke college student.. was planning on fixing the dents on it and reselling and getting something else... now i don't even know if i wanna put a down payment on a new car because i don't wanna be broke during school... sighs*... this sucks major ***... ****en ****...does warranty cover blown transmissions?

I've always had problems with this car

There is a known issue with the 01-03 transmissions but Honda won't recall them...you might be able to take advantage of that if its that problem. Not sure what it is but pretty sure you can find out at hondatech or whatever that website is. I know someone will link it eventually.

Depends, do you have a warranty that covers past 71,000 miles or 'forever' as you call it?

ThaitaniumGK

damn i'm not even sure... it might be only 50k warranty... would they repair it for free if it was 100k warranty? my car has 71k

ThaitaniumGK

damn does anybody have the link?

PitchBlack

just search for threads about people having shitty transmissions...there are a ton of them...good luck though!

ok i didn't bother taking the car to a dealership... it seems that the tranmission wasn't messed up... my mom called a guy while i was away at work and had him come check it out and fix it... all i know is i owe my mom 100 something dollars for the random repair lol... but since my mom doesn't speak good english she didn't know what the problem could've been on the car lol... all i know is that it works fine now... could put the car into drive and could reverse just fine... anybody know what the problem could've been? my mom said something about the guy going under the car to check the problem... something could've got stuck?? idk

my car did just that a while back, had to replace the tranny and it still tweeks out from time to time.. my next car is definitely going to be a truck... ffs.
