I RECEIVED A RECALL FOR MY 2002 HONDA ACCORD IN MAY. I SCHEDULED AN APPT TO TAKE IT TO HONDA IN MY LOCAL TOWN. THEY SAID IT WAS FIXED AND READY TO GO, NOT EVEN A MONTH LATER MY SRS CAME BACK ON. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL DEALER WHO RAN TESTS ON IT AND THERE RESPONSE WAS "DID HONDA EVEN FIX THE RECALL ISSUED?" AND I SAID "YES THEY SHOULD HAVE." ANYWAY IT SEEMS THE ISSUE IS HAPPENING AGAIN. HE SAID TO ALERT MY COMPANY HONDA AND FILE A COMPLAINT. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT RECALL BECAUSE IT CAN CAUSE DEATH. WHAT TO DO? HOW TO SOLVE THIS? *TR

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 OWNERS, SAME MODEL, AND THEY ALL HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN RECOGNIZED YET. IT IS NOT ONLY UNSAFE, BUT UNFAIR TO NOT PROVIDE OWNERS WITH SOME TYPE OF RESOLUTION. DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THE CLEARCOAT THAT HAS ALSO WORN OFF. *TR

IN 2009, CAR WAS JOLTING FORWARD WHEN STOPPING. TOOK CAR TO HONDA. THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION. NOW 4 YEARS LATER, TRANSMISSION HAS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN (ONLY 33,000 MILES LATER). CAR IS STALLING WHILE DRIVING IT AND NOT SWITCHING GEARS PROPERLY. SEEMS LIKE HONDA REPLACED MY ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION WITH A USED, INFERIOR, RECALLED OR DAMAGED TRANSMISSION. SPOKE TO HONDA AND THEY WILL NOT HELP ME. THEY SAID THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. (3 YRS OR 36,000 MILES). *TR

SRS LIGHT CAME ON . AT FIRST IT COMES & GO,COMES ON AT TURNINGS. NOW IT IS PERMANENT. *TR
