Honda has been known to make some good transmissions in the 90s, but that all came to an end following massive recalls earlier last decade in 2001-2004 regarding 1999-2005 Acura/Honda automobiles regarding the second gear / malfunctioning transmissions. And now in the past few months, there seems to be even more transmission problems propping up from the 1999-2005 Hondas after a spike in NHTSA/Safety complaints and even after having fixed from the recall, many owners' vehicles continue to experience the same problem over and over again.
