| There have been numerous incidents, but at least three occasions that sick in my mind. the feeling that my vehicle had been rear ended, looking in the rear view mirror, no car behind me. i had my truck in the shop at walt's automotive on auburn blvd. at least two if not three times and told them there was something wrong with the transmission. each time i was told they could find nothing wrong. finally, in january i put my truck in the shop at don hill automotive. they drove the truck, told me there was a bad transmission leak, and had it send to the transmission shop they use. i was told by the transmission shop that my transmission was fried and that the transmission was too far gone to be repaired. i was told that it would take approximately $3,000 if not more to repair it. don hill automotive also told me that it sounded like my engine was getting ready to throw a rod. i contacted both the local honda and isuzu to see if there were any recalls. i was told there wasn't. i was also told by don hill automotive that there were numerous other problems, such as the flap that either keep the engine cool or enables the engine to warm up was stuck open,and that would cost approx. $260.00 to repair. at that point in time i was informed that it would cost more to repair the truck then it was worth. it has 84,000 miles on it. i expected to get at least twice that much before having these problems. help!!! are there any recalls on the transmission problem? right now my truck is just parked where i live. i'm afraid to drive it. it has been parked since january | |||

| Major automotive repairs performed by dealership where performance levels of work completed are unsatisfactory workmanship. power steering, steering linkage, tie rod assembly, incomplete cam bearing replacement resulting to engine failure, and engine replacement for a vehicle with less than 65,000 miles. other services not performed or non-requested services performed were only to increase revenue. be advised once done, american honda refused any assistance to the consumer before or after removal of vehicle from dealership. owner was forced to discontinue service from the dealership, request the car to be reassembled and elected alternative services performed elsewhere. contacted american honda in california and received unsupportive and cavalier efforts resolving any or all issues with services performed in a 6-month period. (this is probably the reason why honda only offers short-term vehicle warranties). american honda has not made any effort or attempt to stand behind their products... unfortunately; i am not a participant of a racing team where they have apparent influence. case number(s) and case managers | |||
