ON THANKSGIVING, I WAS DRIVING MY WIFE AND TWO SMALL CHILDREN TO DINNER. I STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR TO MOVE ONTO A BUSY MAIN ROAD. THE CAR WENT AT FIRST, THEN REVVED THE RPM AND WAS UNABLE TO CATCH THE GEAR. MY CAR WAS ESSENTIALLY PARALYZED, HALF SIDEWAYS WITH CARS HAVING SLAM TO A STOP(THEY EXPECTED THE CAR PULLING INTO TRAFFIC TO BE MOVING-SO DID I).THEY EVENTUALLY WOULD GO AROUND CREATING MORE PROBLEMS FOR OTHER TRAVELLERS. I LET THE CAR IDLE AND EVENTUALLY HEARD THE GEAR CATCH SO I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR. SINCE THEN THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN SLIPPING. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS RE: THIS SAME PROBLEM. APPARENTLY, HONDA IS AWARE OF THE THE TRANSMISSION/TORQUE CONVERTER PROBLEM BUT IS NOT ISSUING A RECALL BECAUSE IT HAS NOT BEEN DEEMED A SAFETY ISSUE. I BELIEVE IT IS DUE TO THE COST OF THE REPAIR AND THEY WOULD RATHER STICK THE HIGHER REPAIR BILL TO THEIR CUSTOMERS OR LET THEM RISK THEIR SAFETY. THE SPEED LIMITS ON OUR LOCAL ROADS AVG BETWEEN 45-55 MPH. I BELIEVE IT IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY RISK TO HAVE A CAR THAT MIGHT NOT ACCELERATE PAST 15MPH. AS A HEALTHCARE PROVIDER WHO DEALS WITH REHABILITATION, I CAN TELL YOU I HAVE SEEN SIGNIFICANT INJURIES, PARALYSIS AND DEATH DUE TO ACCIDENTS AT LOWER SPEEDS. I HAVE SINCE BEEN HESITANT TO DRIVE MY CAR AS I FEAR GETTING HUNG OUT FOR SOMEONE TO CRASH INTO MY VEHICLE. I ASK YOU TO VIEW THIS WEBSITE HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/HONDA/ACCORD/2002/. IT CHRONICLES OVER 475 COMPLAINTS. THE 2002-2003 SHOW A SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM WITH THIS TRANSMISSION. IF THERE ARE THAT MANY COMPLAINTS IN ONE ONLINE SITE, THERE ARE SURELY 20-50X MORE OUT THERE WHO ARE CURRENTLY DEALING WITH THIS PROBLEM(OR WILL BE SOON) AND ARE AT RISK. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN TO FORCE HONDA TO ISSUE A RECALL, HOWEVER I IMPLORE YOU TO BE PROACTIVE DEALING WITH THIS BEFORE SOMEONE DOES GET INJURED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND ATTENTION.

I AM AN OWNER OF THREE HONDA VEHICLES DUE TO THEIR RELIABILITY. I BOUGHT THE 2002 HONDA ACCORD EX V6 RIGHT AFTER CHRISTMAS (DEC 26TH, 2009). I BOUGHT IT FOR MY TWO SONS TO USE (AGES 17 AND 18). A LITTLE OVER A MONTH OF OWNING THE VEHICLE, MY YOUNGER SON REPORTED TO ME THAT WHILE HE WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE, SEVERAL OF THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD WENT OFF INCLUDING THE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT, THE TCS LIGHT AS WELL AS THE D4 LIGHT. HE SAID THAT THE CAR STARTED ACTING WEIRD AND THAT THE ENGINE FELT LIKE IT WAS STUCK IN THE SAME GEAR. THIS WAS WHILE HE WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE ENGINE STARTED RACING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO SEVERAL SHOPS INCLUDING AAMCO AND THEY ALL INDICATED THAT THIS WAS A HARD CODE AND THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. COST FROM AAMCO WAS BETWEEN $2,500 AND $3,000 DEPENDING ON WHAT THEY FIND WHEN THEY TAKE THE TRANSMISSION APART. THE VEHICLE HAD ROUGHLY 92,000 MILES WHEN I PURCHASED IT AND BARELY HAD 1,000 MILES WHEN THE ISSUE POPPED UP. THE CAR REMAINS SOMEWHAT DRIVABLE BUT THE ENGINE SEEMS LIKE IT IS GOING TO EXPLODE BECAUSE THE GEARS SEEM TO BE STUCK AND THE CAR RACES ESPECIALLY WHEN ON THE HIGHWAY. AGAIN, THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED FOR MY TWO SONS DUE TO THE SUPPOSED RELIABILITY OF THE HONDA VEHICLE. RESEARCHING THE ISSUE ON LINE, I'VE COME ACROSS SEVERAL SITES EXPOSING THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THESE HONDA ACCORDS. I'VE CALLED HONDA AND THEIR ONLY RESPONSE WAS THAT THEY DO NOT HANDLE RECALLS, NHTSA DOES AND UNTIL THEY DETERMINE THIS IS AN ISSUE, HONDA CANNOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I THINK THAT IT IS ABOUT TIME THAT NHTSA DOES THE RIGHT THING BY THESE HONDA OWNERS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES THAT I AM HAVING WITH MY TRANSMISSION! *TR

I AM A NAVAL OFFICER, SINGLE PARENT, FAITHFUL TAX PAYER, AND A FOSTER MOM. I COME TO YOU TODAY WITH A COMPLAINT ABOUT MY HONDA ACCORD AUTOMOBILE (2002 EX V6 ENGINE) TO WHICH I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER, AND THE SERVICE I RECEIVED FROM AMERICAN HONDA AND HOEHN HONDA OF CARLSBAD CA. UP UNTIL THIS POINT, I HAVE NOT HAD MANY ISSUES WITH MY HONDA. MY HONDA ACCORD 2002 WAS A WONDERFUL CAR, MY VERY FIRST NEW CAR, WHICH I WAS THE ORIGIONAL OWNER, FINANCES, AND SO ON. I DROVE THIS CAR OFF THE LOT WITHOUT EVEN 1 MILE ON THE DASH, AND THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME BY LAW THEY HAD TO PUT AT LEAST 1 MILE ON THE DASH, IN ORDER TO SELL THE CAR, AND THEY ALLOWED ME TO PUT THAT 1 MILE ON THE DASH. I BOUGHT THIS CAR WITH THE INTENTIONS OF KEEPING WELL PAST 400K MILES, AND POSSIBLY PASSING IT ONTO MY SON AS HIS FIRST CAR, WHICH WOULD OF GIVEN ME THE SECURITY THAT I WAS PASSING HIM SOMETHING RELIABLE, AND SOMETHING I KNOW HE WOULD HAVE LITTLE TO NO MAJOR OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES FOR, AND CLEARLY AT THE TIME THAT WAS THE REPARTITION THAT HONDAS HAD'NOW, I WOULD NOT GIVE THIS CAR TO ANYONE, KNOWING WHAT I KNOW. BEFORE ALL OF THIS OCCURRED, I WAS BASICALLY DRIVE MY HONDA TO AND FROM WORK, TO AND FROM MY KIDS SCHOOL, AND IN AND AROUND DAILY TRAVELS, WITH EXCEPTION TO OCCASIONAL FAMILY OUTINGS. I RECENTLY PAID THIS CAR OFF, AND SINCE THIS TIME, I HAVE COME OUT OF MY POCKET WITH ALL KINDS OF UNFORESEEN EXPENSES AND ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. MY FIRST EXPERIENCE WITH MY 2002 HONDA ACCORD'S TRANSMISSION OCCURRED WAS WHEN I WAS DRIVING AT 35 MPH AND THE CAR BUCKED IN ONGOING TRAFFIC AND COMPLETELY STALLED. I WAS AMAZED BECAUSE, MY CAR HAD NOT DID THIS BEFORE, AND IT WAS TERRIFYING CONSIDERING I HAD MY KIDS AND 2 OF THEIR FRIENDS IN THE CAR, AND IT DID A NUMBER ON OUR NECKS. NOW, MY HONDA ACCORD 2002 NOW BEGINS TO SLIP EVERY TIME I PULLED OFF AT THE LIGHT, STOP SIGN, AND SO ON. HONDA'S TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING OUT OF GEAR, JERKING, AND WHILE DRIVING AT A SPEED OF 45-60 MPH MY CAR WOULD START TO INCREASE SPEED. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
NORMAL DRIVING OF THE CAR HAS LEAD TO A TRANSMISSION FAILURE THAT IS KNOWN BY WIDELY BY OTHER VICTIMS OF THE PROBLEM. 2002 HONDA ACCORD EX, TRANSMISSION IS KNOW TO FAIL DUE TO 2ND GEAR SLIPPING, AND OTHER GEARS 'JERKING' AROUND. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS STARTED. WHEN CAR GOES INTO SECOND GEAR IT LUNGES FORWARD OR FEELS LIKE SOMEONE HIT YOU FROM THE REAR. ALSO JERK VIOLENTLY WHEN PUT INTO REVERSE. WHEN TRANSMISSION IS ON IT'S LAST BREATH , IT DOES NOT GO INTO GEAR, MEANING IF YOUR TRYING TO GET ON THE MAIN ROAD FROM A SIDE STREET, YOU MIGHT BE HIT ON THE SIDE IF YOUR LEAN YOUR CAR OUT TO GO WHEN TRANSMISSION DOES NOT GO INTO GEAR, LEAVING YOU VULNERABLE ON THE ROAD. A TRANSMISSION REBUILD DUE TO CLUTCH PACKET, A TRANSMISSION SWAP, OR TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT ARE THE ONLY CHOICES A VICTIM HAS. PRICING FROM $6,000(TRANSMISSION SWAP FROM ACURA CL-S TYPE S)-$1,500(TRANSMISSION REBUILD). HONDA ACCORD DRIVERS CAN NOT AFFORD THIS DUE TO HONDA IGNORANCE OF IT'S CUSTOMERS SAFETY. *TR

AT 65000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING IN 1ST AND 2ND GEARS. I STARTED RESEARCHING THIS ON THE INTERNET BECAUSE I FELT THAT A RELIABLE AUTOMOBILE LIKE A HONDA ACCORD SHOULDN'T HAVE A TRANSMISSION GO AT SUCH LOW MILLAGE. THERE WERE SEVERAL HUNDRED PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE SAME YEAR MODEL HONDA ACCORD WITH THE SAME AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION THAT HAVE HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AT LOW MILLAGE. HONDA OF AMERICA KNOWS THAT THIS IS A DEFECT IN THEIR PRODUCT AND REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. IT IS NOT AT ALL FAIR TO THEIR CUSTOMERS. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THEM STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND HELP US WITH THIS ISSUE. I CALLED THEM AND THE PERSON I TALKED TO WAS VERY RUDE AND TOLD ME THAT IT WASN'T THEIR PROBLEM AND WOULD NOT HELP IN ANY WAY.

HONDA HAS A TRANSMISSION DESIGN FLAW IN THEIR EARLY 2000 HONDA ACCORDS. I OWN A 2002 ACCORD WITH 105,000 MILES THAT REQUIRES A NEW TRANSMISSION. I WAS SURPRISED BECAUSE THIS BRAND IS KNOWN TO BE RELIABLE. UPON RESEARCHING HONDA TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS ONLINE, I FOUND SEVERAL ARTICLES AND MULTIPLE CONSUMER COMPLAINTS REGARDING HONDA TRANSMISSION FAILURE. HONDA DID RECALL TRANSMISSIONS IN CERTAIN MODELS FROM 2003 AND 2004. AMERICA HONDA KNOWS THEY HAVE A PROBLEM AND THEY DECLINED TO ASSIST ME WITH THE REPAIR BECAUSE MY 2002 ACCORD WAS NOT ONE OF THE RECALL MODELS. I AM NOW STUCK WITH $3,000 REPAIR BILL FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION. THIS IS UNFAIR, PARTICULARLY SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW, PURCHASED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY (WHICH ENDED AFTER 7 YRS.), AND MAINTAINED MY CAR REGULARLY. HONDA NEEDS TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2002 HONDA ACCORD LX FROM AN ORIGINAL OWNER, TWO MONTHS AGO. AS OF NOW THE SPEEDOMETER READS JUST OVER 65000 MILES AND THE ENGINE REVS HIGH UNTIL IT HITS 20MPH AND THEN BANGS INTO SECOND GEAR AND THEN DOES THE SAME THING GOING INTO THIRD. WHEN COMING TO A STOP IT AGAIN JUMPS FORWARD AND THEREBY COULD POSSIBLY HIT A PEDESTRIAN OR RAM INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF IT. ANY CAR THAT UNPREDICTABLY JERKS/LURCHES FORWARD AND COULD RAM INTO THE CAR OR A PERSON IN FRONT OF THEM IS A SAFETY HAZARD. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM ONLINE I NOTICED THAT I'M NOT ALONE WITH THIS PROBLEM AND I BELIEVE IT'S A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND THIS HAS TO BE RECALLED AND REPLACED AT HONDA'S EXPENSE. I RECEIVED ONE QUOTE FOR APPROXIMATELY $1800.00 AND AM GETTING ANOTHER ONE TOMORROW. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PROMPT ATTENTION TO THIS SAFETY CONCERN. *TR
