WHEN INITIALLY DRIVING THE CAR FROM A PARKED/STOPPED POSITION THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS/STALLS. I HAVE NEARLY HAD AN ACCIDENT DUE TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC NEARLY COLLIDING WITH ME DUE TO THE CARS SLUGGISH ACCELERATION. THERE IS SOME NOISE PRESENT DURING OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

I HAD MY VEHICLE SERVICED AT HONDA OF SPRING DEALERSHIP IN TEXAS. THEY DID A POWER STEERING FLUSH. AFTER THEY WERE DONE, THEY TOLD ME MY HIGH PRESSURE POWER STEERING HOSE WAS LEAKING AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. IT WAS NOT LEAKING BEFORE I HAD THE VEHICLE SERVICED. THEY WANTED OVER $600 TO REPLACE THE HOSE. I BELIEVE THE HOSE WAS DEFECTIVE AND THE FLUSH FINISHED IT OFF. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THE HOSE WAS NOT RECALLED FOR MY VEHICLE VIN NUMBER. I CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY THAT MUCH FOR A HOSE AND THE CAR MIGHT CATCH ON FIRE IF THE HOSE IS NOT REPLACED. IF IT DOES, I AM SUING HONDA FOR DEFECTIVE HIGH PRESSURE POWER STEERING HOSE DAMAGES. *TR

MY V6 HONDA ACCORD HAD PROBLEMS REVERSING UP A SLOPE/INCLINE FROM THE DAY I BOUGHT IT A LITTLE OVER TWO YEARS AGO. INITIALLY IT WAS JUST A PROBLEM ON STEEP SLOPES. IT GOT WORSE OVER TIME. IT FINALLY GOT TO THE POINT WHERE I COULDN'T PUSH ON THE GAS AT ALL WHEN IT WAS IN REVERSE OR THE TRANSMISSION WOULD LOCK UP AND THE CAR WOULDN'T REVERSE AT ALL. I CALLED HONDA AND INQUIRED ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT WAS TOLD THERE WERE NO ISSUES REPORTED IN REGARDS TO THE TRANSMISSION ON MY MODEL YEAR. THEY SAID THEY HAD ISSUES ON PRIOR MODEL YEARS BUT NOT ON MINE AND SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO AS IT WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. I ALSO INQUIRED AT TWO LOCAL HONDA DEALERS AND THEY SAID THEY THE SAME THING. I DID FIND SEVERAL OTHER ACCORD OWNERS' POSTS ONLINE THAT STATED THEY HAVE HAD THEIR TRANSMISSIONS FAIL OR CAUSE THEM PROBLEMS AS WELL. I FINALLY HAD TO TAKE THE CAR IN AND HAVE IT REPAIRED AT MY OWN EXPENSE. *TR
