Sloppy transmission shifting.
I think my car was made on the Friday before a major holiday. r_reierson@yahoo.com.
Watch out for that "sloppy shifting". It could be a sign that the transmission is about to blow. This is a common problem with Hondas. Trust me, after my family's experience with Honda, I should know. My relatives have not had one Honda with an automatic that didn't have tranny problems. Hondas are junk. Don't bother with anything that says "Honda" or "Acura" on the trunklid. You might as well just throw the money out of the window.
Honda has extended the warranty on auto transmission on 2000-2001 Accords. Mine is bad as well. Dealer is replacing. My driver seat broke at weld as well. My Honda experience is dimming by the day. My 98 Pontiac GTP never spent a day in the shop and could seriously outperform my V6 Accord. Shouldn't have given it to my son for a college graduation gift.
In response to the "Hondas are junk" comment, I've had a 1993 Accord for over 100,000 miles, right now the odo reads 275,000, and the car is still running. There have been several problems recently, but for god's sake, the car's could have been driven around the earth 10 times!! I would definitely NOT classify that as "junk".
Mike out.
My roomate has a 2000 Grand Prix and he has had to replace the manifold gasket at 80,000 miles, and many other parts having to do with poor quality. such as interior parts, etc. Right now he has an oil leak. His parents bought the car new and now drive Honda and Toyota cars and are happy. Do not fall for trickery and buy a Pontiac Grand Prix.
