I think an online petition could help support our argument, but we can't solely rely on it. I think the online petition that links have been posted to here on 8th and a thread has been created about, is weak. And if we are going to do one, it would be best if we started another one.
The creator of that petition's email is no longer valid, which is just another problem with it.
3.
I think we need to decide if these transmission problems that 8th generation Civics, RSX's, and EP3's all have reported are similar and if so then decide if we want to include them in our argument or petition.
Aside from that also do some research on what Honda has told them or done for them, seeing as how they have owned there cars since probably 2001 or 2002.
CLIFF NOTES
My idea would be to present a formal well written statement to Honda, with a formal petition with the names of the owners, model, and model year of car, and VIN number, and then a brief description of their problems. On top of that any case numbers developed with Honda dealerships. All of this along with URL's/links to threads with related discussions, lists, or experiences with these problems could be helpful supporting evidence also.
Let me know what you guys think of my ideas or any suggestions or input you may have.
I don't want to go creating another thread until more progress is made, and or a petition or letter is written.
WE NEED TO DEVELOP A STRONG PLAN OF ATTACK!

I agree. I believe there are two people who's contact information we need to obtain:
1. A high-ranking executive at Honda of North America, and
2. The Editor in Chief at Consumer Reports
I'm not sure that we need a lawyer to get involved just yet, but I know a few who can look at a letter and make suggestions. Once a letter is drafted with the names and VIN numbers of all the interested owners, a hard copy and electronic copy should be sent to Honda, with a cc to Consumer Reports. I think once Honda sees that we want to get the largest consumer product publication involved, they'll be pressured to take action.
