i'm afraid a grind in our transmission won't really interest the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) office within the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

They are more interested in cases like the Firestone Tire case where peoples saftey was really at danger.

I think our problem might be of more interest to consumer protection agencies which vary state to state but the USCP is the nation consumer protection agency.

Possibly your local BBB (Better Business Bureau) but that applies more so towards your local Honda dealership and their actions/practices (and some but not all dealerships are a member of the BBB), not so much Honda Motor Co. of America as a whole.
