Default Re: My ongoing adventure with my 2003 Accord EX V6 Coupe MT

Maybe you need to find a new dealer. I Bought a used 2001 V6 coupe w/ 38000
on it and the tranny has started to act up on it. I called them. madean
appointment for 2 days after the call (complaint: check engine light was on
and car seems to fart around in D3.) They take it in look at it and call
me back telling me "Your car is ready - parts are on order should be in, 1
week from today" that was on a wednesday. They called me the next monday
and had the parts in and were ready to serve. I didn't even buy the car
from them and they have given me great service.
