In february, 2004 i purchased my pre-owned 2002 honda accord lx 4dr sedan at my credit union's event. It had only 14,000 miles on it at time of purchase. I thought i was getting a super great deal on a" used" honda with low mileage! I have since used it for my job locally, on the road 5 days a week. I have kept up the maintenance from minor oil changes and fluid/filter changes to major tune ups, all at the local…

Spoke to honda and they will not help me. They said the…

When we drive on a highway at about 70mph, the check engine light on. After we check, the worker said it's about a transmission sensor problem and we can replace it after out weekend trip. But on the way back, the light is on again and the speed decreased from 70 mph to about 30-40 mph. If we add more oil, the engine will rotate at 4000-5000turn with great noise. So we have to drive at 30-40 mph speed. It's very…

The d4 light started blinking in my 2002 honda accord ex, not allowing my car to upshift properly on the highway leaving me having to drive slow on a highway with speeding cars. I know honda has had numerous complaints about the transmissions in their 2002 accord models and refuses to recall. This is certainly a safety issue' or does honda just want to wait until people die because their car stopped dead on a…

We purchased this vehicle in 2008 from a honda dealership's used car lot (under a seperated name that was closed down a few months after we bought our car). Within a month, the transmission began jerking and surging. Being a mechanic, i hooked it up to a machine and found out the transmission had a code displaying. Honda's spreadsheet stated that the problem was the "1 2 shift solenoid" or if this failed to repair…

I purchased this vehicle, a 2002 honda accord ex v-6, in 2008 with 45,000 miles. I began to notice hesitation when changing gears, and a hard jerk that would occur while first gear changes to second gear. I took it to the local honda dealership, and they could not find anything wrong with the vehicle. Six years later at 130,000 miles, my vehicle still does the same thing while driving. I have talked with other honda…

The car eventually wouldn't accel when i pressed on the gas and would only go 20 mph. I took it to a honda dealer and they said i needed a new transmission so i took it to another car shop who replaced the solenoids which seemed to help a little. I have been driving it for a while…

Transmission stall and slip occurs most often from stopped to moving or slowed down to acceleration. Can occur in intersections when turning and the car just stops while the engine revs. Generally when going from stopped to moving the engine revs and then the car jerks. Started happening at 65,000 miles on the odometer. *tr

The transmission in my 2002 honda accord started to slip and shift very hard in the summer of 2007 with only about 53000 miles on it. It's causing me to drive somewhat erratically because it jumps into gear when i try to accelerate. I've drained and refilled the transmission fluid but haven't tried any repairs on it due to how much it would cost. *tr
