Driving home from work yesterday and my 04 Civic Sedan Auto would'nt go past 40mph. Called Honda Care and had it towed to the dealership, they call me a few hours later and tell me my tranny is faulty and they are going to replace it with a brand new one.

Since my car only has 5,000 miles and is 3 months old, do you think I should try and get a new car or go ahead and let them replace the tranny? Anyone else who has had a new tranny put in a newer car with so little miles?

Thanks

no lemon law here but if your tranny goes out a couple more times then its a lemon. so if you want to get rid of your car hope that your tranny goes out a couple more times and you can use the lemon law to your advantage

I was more interested in what if any problems people have had after having a tranny replaced with so little miles ..... Thanks Tinman for your response.

Mine feels like it will go soon, I too have an 04 civic auto and have only 10,000 miles on my car...was acting funny since about 5,000 miles. Eh...I bought the extended warranty...

A few years ago, a friend of mine bought a brand new Maxima, fully decked-out, and his auto tranny failed on the way home from the dealer! They sent a tow truck, along with another new Maxima. The dealer said that they weren't even going to see what the problem was - the car was going back to the factory.

Too bad that kind of customer service isn't more common...
