I have heard of the problem with Honda transmissions as well.

My Accord started to ####### out on me at around 150K and I was putting a lot of money into it.

I meant plymouths.

Anyway, did you have an automatic, Jenn? I know automatics always ####### out way sooner than manual transmissions, but 150k seems early for a Honda. Now, there are a lot of maint. things anyone has to do before 100k (or should) and then at 150k and 200k, etc. Like my car has 230k on it and I had to change my timing belt, CV joints, the master hydrolics for my clutch, distributor, a water pump, recently the radiator hose, of course oil, filters including fuel filter, I did the brakes but they didn't need it, and the spark plug wires. My car is not wanting to start all the time and acts like it has fuel pump vapor lock but it's not the FP, there is no spark in the engine. now the distributer fixed part of that, but... it's still going on and maybe I need a new computer. Did you own yours from the beginning of its life? The other issue is not knowing what happened to it before you got it. If you do a lot of stop-and-go city traffic or if someone hass a lead foot, it can really damage things. Also, I have heard newer hondas don't have the same quality of an older Honda.

My current Honda only has about 44,000 miles on it, but there haven't been any problems. My last Honda had about 55,000 when I traded it in. I was being sneaky because the last one was a manual transmission and I had learned to drive manual on that car. I know I messed up the clutch, but I would have done that on any car with the way I drove in the beginning, lol. Later I was fine, but the damage was done. I could tell one of the gears was starting to get problems sometimes so I just traded it before it was obvious .
