VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, POWER TRAIN
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 20 MPH AND I HAD TO USE THE BRAKES, MY CAR JERKED SUDDENLY TWICE WHILE I WAS GENTLY PUSHING THE BRAKES (AS IF I SLAMMED ON THEM TWICE). I ACCELERATED SLOWLY AND ONCE I GOT BACK INTO SECOND GEAR MY CAR WOULDN'T CATCH AND STARTED TO MAKE A WHIRRING NOISE. ONCE IT GOT PAST SECOND GEAR IT DRIVES SLOWER THAN USUAL FOR THE AMOUNT OF RPMS BEING USED. THIS IS A SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM. IT'S ONLY ON THE SECOND GEAR THAT IT GLITCHES UP. I KNOW THIS CAR HAS A LOT OF MILES BUT IT HAS A NEWER MOTOR AND WE HAVE KEPT UP ON THE FLUIDS FOR THE VEHICLE. IT SHOULD NOT BE ACTING THIS WAY AND I EXPECT A RECALL ON THIS PROMPTLY. EVERY TIME I DRIVE MY VAN IT IS NOT LIKE IT USE TO BE. IT'S SLOWER AND AS STATED BEFORE THE RPMS IT USES SHOULD MAKES ITS SPEED FASTER BUT THE SPEED SLOWLY INCREASES WHILE THE RPMS INCREASE DRASTICALLY AND QUICKLY. I WANT THIS FIXED AND I WANT THIS FIXED NOW!! I WILL NOT ALLOW MY CHILDREN IN THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE WAY IT'S ACTING AND IT IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE FOR ANYONE AT THIS POINT. I WILL BE CONTACTING CORPORATE IF NEEDED. I EXPECT A RESPONSE FROM HONDA PROMPTLY. *TR

POWER TRAIN
PLEASE HAVE ONE OF YOUR INVESTIGATORS' TO LOOK INTO THIS: TAKE A LOOK ON THE INTERNET YOU WILL FIND THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ( ONLY A SMALL PERCENTAGE OF HONDA OWNERS', VANS & SEDANS ON THE ROAD WHO HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM OCCURRING) 2003 HONDA TRANSMISSION SLIPPING BETWEEN 2ND & 3RD GEARS - ALL THE OWNERS' COMPLAINTS ARE IDENTICAL. UNEXPECTEDLY, THE VEHICLE LOSES ALL ACCELERATION POWER, A VERY DANGEROUS & SERIOUS SAFETY DEFECT, HAZARD AS THE DRIVER LOSES CONTROL OF THEIR VEHICLE & ACCELERATION. RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET, I FOUND THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM OCCURRING IN OUR MODEL YEAR 2003 AND FROM MANY HONDA AND ACURA SEDAN OWNERS ARE ALSO EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM: ALL HAVE THE V-TECH ENGINE WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR THOUSANDS OF HONDA & ACURA DRIVERS ON THE ROAD -A MOTHER'S WITH A VAN FULL OF CHILDREN OR REALLY ANY DRIVER TRYING TO ACCELERATE ON A BUSY ROAD FROM A DEAD STOP. A DRIVER LOSES CONTROL OF THEIR VEHICLE SPEED UNEXPECTEDLY COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT, EVEN DEATH. HONDA DEALERS ARE HITTING CUSTOMERS' FOR $4000.00 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION INSTALL, REPLACING THE SAME MALFUNCTIONING ONE THAT WAS IN THE VEHICLE PREVIOUSLY, NOT REIMBURSING OWNERS' FOR THE VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR BILL. HONDA SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS SERIOUS & DANGEROUS SAFETY DEFECT WHICH THEY IGNORED, HID, KEPT INSTALLING THE SAME TRANSMISSIONS WHEN IT WAS WELL KNOWN TO HONDA INSIDERS' THAT THEY HAD A MAJOR PROBLEM - THEY WERE WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM OCCURRING FOR YEARS & DID NOTHING. THEY NEED TO BE FORCED TO FIX THE HONDA TRANSMISSIONS AFFECTED AT NO COST TO THE THEIR CUSTOMERS' . HONDA REFUSED TO RE-MANUFACTURE, RE-ENGINEER THE TRANSMISSION OR REIMBURSE OWNERS' FOR THE EXPENSIVE REPAIR BILL ($4000.). IT IS EXTREMELY HARD TO BELIEVE THAT NHTSA HAS NOT ISSUED A SAFETY RECALL YET! *TR
