Anyone know of any issues with the 03 auto tranny? I was driving along the other day when she started downshifting, upshifting and eventually just cut out above 40 mph.I checked the OBD and got a "torque converter stuck" message. She's at the dealer now but the car only has 35k on it and I've never abused it.( Now I see why I was warned agaisnt putting a turbo on it).

 

you know that cute little screenname that you picked ...... maybe it's time to actually buy a Dr. Evil transmission. '03 had the same problems as the 6th gen AT's, only Honda won't admit it because then they'd have to pay for the repairs .... they only lost a multi-billion dollar lawsuit over the 6th gens.

 

Thanks for the input. The dealer called me today and told me that Honda will foot 90% of the repair bill.( total cost 3000.00+/-)
obviously a serious problem exists! I guess instead of a full blown recall, they'll fix 'em as they come in. I really can't complain paying the 10% when I'm getting a 6 year old car fixed for a song.

 

Congrats!!!! You're lucky!!! Most don't get that deal. They usually cover the part and you're on your own for labor .... but you have to have the dealership do it.

 

Got her back today. Brand new- upgraded tranny and a 3 year warrenty to boot. Can't complain about that kind of service.
