No.
'99 Accord EX V6 (original transmission): 3yr/36k warranty (failed at
46k)
replacement #1: 12mo/12k warranty (failed at 25k)
replacement #2: 12mo/12k warranty

I'm not yet sure if replacement #2 is going bad at 16k. 2 Honda
dealers disagree about the hesitation I have been seeing at 1500-2200
rpm for the past 3k or so. One is *sure* it is the EGR, the other is
*sure* it is the trans. Both agree that the car will eventually light
up the MIL, and hopefully we'll know for sure then. I'm hoping my 2nd
EGR valve has gone bad at 30k since that would at least be a cheap and
simple fix (and yes, the updated EGR TSB has been performed).

True, it is just disappointing when you happen to own one that fails
more than most. Especially when it comes from a company with a
relatively "clean" record.

Yeah. I just got rid of a Pontiac wagon with over 187K miles on the auto
tranny. No problems, ever. 25K is ludicrous, considering the cost of
having a new one put in. If I had that kind of trouble and Honda gave me
no satisfaction I'd be pretty upset.
