Just a devastating situation I wanted to air out and get some advice on. Started hearing a humming/"woo woo woo" type noise coming from the back wheel areas of my 2017 Honda Civic recently. The noise drives me crazy especially on newer flatter roads above 50 mph. $750 later at Mavis and I got two new rear tires (they were worn) and new brake pads and rotars which were also needed.

Back on the parkway and the sound was still there. Finally, and reluctantly bc I dislike going there for other reasons, I brought it to Honda where it was diagnosed with a bad transmission bearing and that was the sound I was hearing. According to them this area or part of the tranny cannot be replaced and I would need a whole new transmission. WTF!?!? The warranty on the car is 5 years/60,000 and because my delivery date was November 2017 the car is not covered. Is this a nightmare or is this a nightmare? Me and the service advisor are now in talks with Honda corportate where according to the advisor, they will try and "Give me some assistance". I asked him what does that mean and didn't get much of an answer. For the record, he told me in a stonefaced look that a new tranny would be $5,000. I held in my laughter, took my keys and left.

So, few questions...

1- How on earth does a transmission fail at 57,000?

2- What am I going to possibly do here when Honda comes back and won't cover this?
