Is this the same tranny issue that caused the recalls of the previous generation Accords? You'd think they'd get it right by now.

 

[RagingBITCH]

Their transmission engineers/designers should be flogged to death.

I'm sure people are just "accidentally" hitting non-existent Overdrive buttons, eh, NFS4? 😛😛

 

[Fingolfin269]

Are they flying in 200 Honda engineers from Japan?!

 

[RagingBITCH]

That's Nissan.

 

[Doggiedog]

I've heard about this problem with CLs, TLs and some MDXs.

I guess I'll have them take a look at it when I go for my routine maintenance next week.

The problem results from insufficient lubrication of a transmission shaft that can overheat, potentially damaging gear teeth or causing the gears to break, Honda said in a statement

Ah, so someone at Honda forgot to lube the shaft... interesting.

 

[SuperTool]

They really gotta lube their shafts better 😉

i'm not an import fan, but that reads to me as user error.

ok that article says honda is the 3rd largest auto manufacturer. I know Toyota is #1 but who is #2? I'm a Nissan FanBoi but i can't see them as being larger than Honda.

Nissan is larger than Honda in terms of global sales, I believe.
That's what it says in this article.
