We started experiencing a weird seizing up from the transmission of our recently acquired used Accord the other day, so we dropped it off at the service department yesterday. They were quite pleasant to deal with, even promising to pay for our rental car if we needed warranty service. In a freaky bit of timing, on our return home we found a recall notice for the car. Seems there's a potentially serious problem with the -- you guessed it -- transmission, which could even potentially cause an accident. Now the thing is, this notice says it's the third time we've been informed of this problem (obviously the prior two notices were to the previous owners), which means Honda certified a used car to sell to us without performing their own recall service. This is more than a little annoying, not to mention frightening, and at this point my non-litigious side is having a tough time convincing MrsBlue we shouldn't investigate suing someone over this.
