| Description of the problem | I noticed one day leaving from work that the car was pulling as if trying to switch gears when i would accelerate. As i began to accelerate on a city street the car began to shake/rock anytime i would try to accelerate. I pulled off into a parking lot to check my tires because i thought maybe it was a flat; all of the tires looked good so i proceeded to start my car and take off. As i did this, they car began shaking when accelerated and would barely accelerate past 20 mph. Again, i pulled off to check the engine this time to see if there was smoke. When i got back into the car i turned it on however it would no longer drive. I had my car towed to my local honda dealership. There, i was informed by the service team that what was being presented was something they had never seen. They had removed pieces of transmission (metal shards) from the transmission oil. They also stated that the plug for the transmission was completed deformed with metal shards protruding from it. Due to my tremendous upkeep with my car, as i am constantly mindful of when to have it serviced, i do not understand how this could have happened and neither could the mechanics at honda dealership. |
