2003 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

IN JULY OF 2015, I WENT OUTSIDE TO START MY CAR AND ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT MY CAR WON'T START. AFTER TRYING FOR SEVERAL HOURS AND A DAY LATER, I WENT BACK TO TRY AGAIN, MY CAR FINALLY STARTED. FEW DAYS AFTER THAT INCIDENT, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS TIME, I WAS ABOUT TO LEAVE FOR WORK AND IT WON'T START UNTIL AFTER TWO DAYS OF TRYING AND IT FINALLY STARTED. THE MOST RESENT TIME WAS ON AUGUST 4, 2015 IN CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA WHILE ABOUT TO LEAVE, I GOT INTO MY CAR AND START IT, IT WON'T START. I SAT THERE TRYING FOR TWO HOURS BEFORE IT FINALLY STARTED.

I HAVE OWNED FOUR HONDAS AND HAVE NEVER ENCOUNTERED OR HEARD OF ISSUES LIKE THIS BEFORE I BOUGHT MY 2003 HONDA ACCORD. I TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF MY CARS AND DO NOT DRIVE THEM HARD EITHER. I BOUGHT MY 03 ACCORD IN 2010 AND HAD NO IDEA THAT I WAS DRIVING WHAT IS TANTAMOUNT TO A TICKING TIME BOMB. ROUGHLY A MONTH AGO, MY TACH STARTED SLIPPING AND THE CAR STARTED JERKING AND CLUNKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT. THE PROBLEMS DO NOT BEGIN AT A SET AMOUNT OF TIME BEHIND THE WHEEL. IT STARTS I THE LOWER GEARS AND I CAN TELL IT IS STARTING WHEN I DECREASE MY SPEED TO A STOP, AT 10 MILES PER HOUR THE CAR ?SHUDDERS? AND ?CLUNKS?. IT PROGRESSIVELY GETS WORSE AND THE HIGHER GEARS BECOME AFFECTED. I WAS ON THE FREEWAY, ON MY WAY HOME FROM AN APPOINTMENT IN THE MIDDLE LANE. I WAS TRAVELING AT ROUGHLY 55 ? 60 MILES PER HOUR WHEN THE ENTIRE CAR VIOLENTLY JERKED. IT WAS ENOUGH TO THROW MY HEAD INTO THE STEERING WHEEL. I IMMEDIATELY WENT TO EXIT THE HIGHWAY WHEN I NOTICED THAT MY CAR WAS NOW IN NEUTRAL. I BABIED THE CAR HOME AND CHECKED THE FLUID. IT WAS FINE. THE PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN WORSE AND I CAN NO LONGER DRIVE MY CAR WITHOUT BEING WILLING TO BE INJURED OR WORSE. THE COST OF REPLACING OR REPAIRING THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT A POSSIBILITY. I NOW HAVE A CAR THAT I CANNOT FIX AND CANNOT DRIVE. IT IS UNCONSCIONABLE THAT A CAR COMPANY THAT IS BUILT ON ITS RELIABILITY WOULD NOT ACKNOWLEDGE AND FIX THIS PROBLEM. DOES SOMEONE NEED TO DIE FIRST? I GUESS THAT I AM UNWILLING TO RISK GETTING BEHIND THE WHEEL OF A HONDA AGAIN. THE SCARIEST PART OF THIS WHOLE SITUATION WAS THAT I WAS GOING TO PUT MY 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THIS CAR. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE?NOW.

I WAS DRIVING 40 MPH WHEN I HIT THE TRUCK. MY CAR WAS NOT DRIVABLE FRONT HOOD IS BENT DOWN TO THE ENGINE AND MY AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. MY CHEST AND MY FACE HIT THE STEERING WHEELS GOOD THING I HAVE MY TWO HAND ON THE STEERING WHEELS.

ALL OF A SUDDEN CAR GET STOP THOUGH ENGINE WAS RUNNING ON HIGHWAY. THERE IS NO CHECK ENGINE WARNING. AUTO GEARS STARTED SLIPPING.
