I have a 2018 honda accord 2.0t touring with the 10-speed automatic transmission. The transmission shifts extremely rough from 2-3 gear, 3-4th and downshifting into pretty much any gear. It's been taken to the dealer several times for this issue and nothing has been resolved. I was told it was just how the transmission shifted on this car, which i immediately disputed because i've driven other exact models that did…

In colder weather, the vehicle makes a drone like humming noise, similar to running a wet finger around a wine glass except louder. If i open the window it stops, it also stops below 5 mph. It is very distracting, i almost went off the road trying to figure out where the noise is coming from. The dealer is telling me it's the speakers, but why would it stop when the window is open. I believe it's the active noise…

2018 honda accord 2.0t touring with 10-speed automatic transmission, mileage < 1000. Transmission has rough shifting from 2nd into 3rd gear at low rpms/speed (2,000 rpm / < 14mph) feeling like a manual shift car popping the clutch. This can happen when car is cold or warmed up, car is in the northeast with cold or hot weather. I noticed that the rpms don't drop when it happens which creates the slam into gear…

New honda accord 2.0t with 10-speed automatic transmission shifts very rough and slow from 2nd to 3rd gear. This issue has been well documented on honda accord owner forums and acura rdx owner forums (the two vehicles share the same engine and transmission). The vehicle normally shifts hard from 2nd to 3rd, but occasionally it is very slow to engaged 3rd gear and then slams into gear. It's very strange how it feels.…

My brand new 2018 honda accord 2.0t w/ automatic transmission is having issues. It shifts very roughly sometimes, i notice the problem most when the engine is cold, however it still happens frequently when engine is at normal operating temperatures. I understand that its a first year production vehicle and a newly designed transmission but having problems like this with under 700.00 miles is excusable. The problem…
