My problem is with the transmission. I have a 2004 rsx-s. It has a six speed transmission. When shifting from first to second, gear grinds, and sometimes locks out. When shifting from second to third, gear grinds and sometimes pops out. Dealership gives me the run-a-round said they couldn't fix since my car is past warranty. Why was i not contacted by american honda about this failure on an obviously important safety malfunction? I almost got into an accident caused by not being able to get the car into gear. Dealer said i had to fork over the $$$ for the repair myself which is unheard of. I bought this car for it impeccable record, now to find out i and countless of hundreds maybe thousands, have purchased a lemon when american honda knew they had a problem with the transmission. American honda, we, the unfortunate 2004 acura rsx type s owners are not !!Pleased the way you take advantage of your loyal customers. *tr
