This is an update to the safety complaint that i submitted yesterday. I just had an update from the transmission shop about my vehicle. In the initial inspection, they missed the fact that a baring spun out and said this was the actual cause of the transmission going out and that this is a design flaw. The baring part was 91007-pcj-003. They also said that the secondary idle gear was another main component that was…

I just purchased a car from a third party and the car drove nicely but it had some dashboard lights on so i took the car to my mechanic the next day. He went through the car and checked the codes. The code that came up was the tc (torque converter) solenoid. He recommended replacing the transmission oil to see if that might knock off some crud off the solenoid. The next day i went to get it serviced and noticed on…

This is a 2002 honda accord se with 66,000 miles. For the past six months, the automatic transmission slips when shifting gears, resulting in a several-second ag before the gears re-engage and the car is capable of accelerating. It is more pronounced at lower gears (1-3). Over the last six months, the slip has become more severe, despite transmission fluid changes by both a honda dealership and an independent…

Did this a couple times before it would really get going again and then the engine was revving in high…

2002 honda accord automatic transmission failed on march 3, 2010 while driving on md-355 highway during rush traffic hours causing panic to the driver.

Can nhtsa investigate this issue for complaints from other drivers, and…

At 65,000 miles, my honda is jerking and skidding. I took it to the mechanic they said it was the transmission, it needs replacement. Honda is aware of the problem but it is not recalling, it is waiting for people to die, just like toyota before it would recall the transmission or replace for free. *tr

1. My car has been taken care of and serviced religiously since it was bought brand new in 2002. A honda accord. 2. The transmission slips when i'm dowshifting to accelerate. It does it all the time unless i completely stop. 3. I haven't replaced the transmission because there are endless quantities of people with the same problem on the 2002 honda accords and honda still hasn't issued a recall. *tr

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…

My 2002 honda accord v6 coupe experienced a stuck throttle and runaway acceleration. I slowed the car with the brakes, shifted into neutral, turned off the engine, then re-started it. It went back to redline. Finally, kicking the gas pedal caused the acceleration to stop. I noticed subsequently, that the cruise control had also failed. The dealership (darlings honda, in bangor, me), told me that the throttle body…

While pulling out of the parking garage, the transmission seemed to slip gears and then get stuck in 1st gear. The check engine light came on, the d4 started flashing and the tcs light came on. I had to pull over and turn off the car. When i turned the car back on, only the check engine light remained on and everything else seemed fine. A mechanic told me that it was just a shifting malfunction and he reset the…
