I GOT 2002 HONDA ACCORD V6. RECENTLY, I HEARD A SOUND WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT GEAR, LIKE BAN SOUND. THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN JERK WHILE ACCELERATING.... I RESEARCHED ON THE INTERNET AND SAW A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. *TR

BOUGHT OUR 2002 HONDA ACCORD EX V6 NEW. AT AROUND 70000 MILES, TRANSMISSION STARTED GIVING US PROBLEMS AND FINALLY HAD TO BE REPLACED. VERY SCARY WHEN LIGHT CHANGES AND YOU CAN'T GET CAR TO MOVE! REBUILT ENGINE COST $2500 HAD A 12 MONTH 12K MILE WARRANTY. DIED AT AROUND 20000 MILES. CAR HAS BEEN A LEMON. AFRAID TO BUY A 3RD TRANSMISSION, NEW OR REBUILT AND LET MY 16 YEAR OLD DRIVE IT. HONDA KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH ALL THE V6 THEY BUILT FOR SEVERAL YEARS 2001-2004. WHEN I CALLED THEY COULD HAVE CARED LESS. AND THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

CONTAMINATION OF THE LINEAR SOLENOID AND ITS ASSOCIATED PASSAGES INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION WILL CAUSE TRANSMISSION FAILURE. *TR

2002 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO AIRBAG MALFUNCTION *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED THE AIR BAG MALFUNCTION RED LIGHT DISPLAYED ON THE DASHBOARD ON NOVEMBER 14, 2011. THE CONSUMER MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR NOVEMBER 19, 2011. THE CONSUMER ARRIVED AT THE DEALERSHIP AND PRESENTED THE ADVISOR WHEN THE RECALL NOTICE. ABOUT AN HOUR LATER, THE ADVISOR PRESENTED THE CONSUMER WITH A LIST ITEMS THEY THOUGHT NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED AS WELL AS THE AIR BAG ISSUE. THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS CAUSED BY FAULTY SEAT BUCKLE, IN WHICH THEY HAD TO REMOVE THE SEAT IN ORDER TO MAKE THE NECESSARY REPAIR. THE ADVISOR THEN INFORMED THE CONSUMER THEY DID NOT HAVE THE INFLATOR VALVE TO COMPLETE THE RECALL. THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED HE WOULD BE CONTACTED ONCE THE PART ARRIVED. THE WORK WAS COMPLETED ON THE BUCKLE. THE CONSUMER FINALLY RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE DEALER STATING THE PART HAD ARRIVED. WHEN THE CONSUMER ARRIVED AT THE DEALER, HE WAS INFORMED THE WORK ORDER HAD BEEN MARKED AS COMPLETED. THE CONSUMER STATED THE RECALL HAD NOT BEEN COMPLETED AS THE PART HAD TO BE ORDERED. THE CONSUMER RECEIVED ANOTHER CALL FROM THE DEALER STATING TO CALL THEM TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE RECALL PERFORMED.

I HAVE A 2002 HONDA ACCORD V6. MY TCS, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND MY D4 TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON SO I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS A 'PROBLEM' WITH MY TRANSMISSION AND THAT IT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED AT A TOTAL COST OF $4900. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A PERVASIVE PROBLEM IN THIS MODEL - TRANSMISSIONS ARE FAILING AROUND 100K, SOME EARLIER - BUT HONDA HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL OR OFFERED TO REPLACE TRANSMISSIONS TO MY KNOWLEDGE. I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION ON MY HONDA EVER, BUT NOW I NEED TO REPLACE IT WAY TOO SOON. I PREVIOUSLY HAD A BOTTOM OF THE LINE 1994 HONDA CIVIC DX WITH 140K MILES AND NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES SO I DECIDED TO UPGRADE TO THEIR TOP OF THE LINE MODEL. I BOUGHT A HONDA BECAUSE I WANTED IT TO LAST A LONG TIME, BUT NOW THIS COST ALONG WITH A BADLY NEEDED PAINT JOB DUE TO THE CLEAR COAT ERODING (ANOTHER PERVASIVE PROBLEM IN THIS MODEL WHERE AGAIN HONDA HAS NOT ADMITTED FAULT) IS MORE THAN THE $6200 BLUE BOOK VALUE. *TR

GEAR SELECTOR FLASHES, D4 OVER AND OVER, SETS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WITH MULTIPLE CODES RELATED TO TRANSMISSION ISSUE. TESTED SOLENOIDS, REPLACED FAILED ONE, STILL HAVING ISSUE. WILL NOT GO INTO 4TH. WHEN IT GOES INTO 4TH, ID DOES NOT STAY IN 4TH GEAR. SOMETIMES IT WILL GET TO 3RD, BUT AGAIN DOESN'T STAY. 2ND IS THE HIGHEST THAT WORKS. BUCKS AND JERKS VIOLENTLY, AND IS A PURE DANGER TO DRIVE ON THE STREET. IT HAS BEEN PARKED AND NOT DRIVEN SINCE THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. *TR

SUDDEN JERKING AND SLIPPING; OUT OF CONTROL PARTIALLY; CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON ONLY AFTER A WHILE. *TR

I WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN TO MERGE INTO THE MIDDLE LANE ON A HIGHWAY SERVICE ROAD WHERE EVERY CAR WAS WAITING FOR THE GREEN LIGHT. I TURNED VERY SLOWLY AT LOW SPEED AFTER STOPPING AT THE STOP SIGN, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO TURN BY ITSELF, THEN MY CAR TURNED 180 DEGREES, WHILE THE ACCELERATOR SPEEDED UP AT A RAPID PACE, SEEMING TO BE STUCK. MY CAR JUMPED THE CURB, HIT A SIGN, AND FINALLY STOPPED. THE BUMPER COVER CAME DOWN, AND I CAN SEE THE BUMPER WAS DAMAGED (PUSHED BACK IN THE MIDDLE ABOUT 2 INCHES), BUT BOTH OF MY 2002 HONDA ACCORD'S AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AT ALL. *TR
