I've known several people who have had problems with theirs, but usually long after it was out of warranty. Only thing I was told to do by a good friend who's a Honda mechanic was to keep changing the tranny fluid often. Which is really simple to do since the drain plug is right next to the oil pan plug.
Google Honda Accord+automatic transmission+lawsuit.
They really pulled a fast one after losing this suit and really treated owners shoddily. I am one of them and will not do business with them again for this reason.
My daughters new VW is my case in point. Comparing the Fit and her Rabbit is apples and oranges. Superior in all respects. Including build quality and fit/finish.
If you can't buy American-at least try to buy Euro.
