2002 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

THE CAR HAD BEEN RUNNING FINE (2002 HONDA ACCORD EX V6 WITH 105K MILES) BUT FELT MINOR SLIPPING IN LOW GEARS. THEN SUDDENLY THE CHECK ENGINE & TCS LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE D4 LIGHT WAS BLINKING. THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE FROM A STOP OR SLOWER SPEEDS WELL AT ALL. I HAVE AVOIDED BEING HIT SO FAR BUT JUST BARELY. I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO ACCELERATE PROPERLY AND MERGE INTO HIGHWAY TRAFFIC COUNTLESS TIMES. I HAVE BEEN ALMOST REAR-ENDED 3 TIMES IN THE PAST 2 WEEKS WHEN THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE WHEN PROCEEDING FROM A RED LIGHT THROUGH A GREEN ONE. AFTER RESEARCH HAVE IDENTIFIED A WIDELY KNOWN HONDA V6 TRANSMISSION PROBLEM SINCE 1998 BUT HONDA WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE OR RECALL OR REPAIR. *TR

AT CLOSE TO 160K MILES, EXPERIENCED HARSH SHIFTING BETWEEN GEARS. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT INDICATED AN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION. ONLY OPTION IS TO REPLACE WITH NEW TRANSMISSION. *TT

2002 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO A SAFETY RECALL RELATED TO VEHICLE AIRBAG *TGW THE CONSUMER WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS RENDERED A TOTAL LOSS. THE CONSUMER WAS REAR ENDED AND PUSHED FORWARD INTO THE CAR AHEAD OF HER. SHE HIT HER FOREHEAD ON THE STEERING WHEEL CAUSING A BIG BUMP ON HER FOREHEAD.

2002 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER STATES PROBLEMS WITH SRS INDICATOR LIGHT *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED IN MAY 2009 THE SRS LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY CHARGED HER $115 TO TURN OFF THE LIGHT. IN JUNE 2011, THE CONSUMER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE REGARDING THE SRS. WHEN SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER, THEY INFORMED HER THE AIR BAG WAS NOT AFFECTED. AS THE CONSUMER LEFT THE DEALER, THE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AGAIN. THE DEALER THEN INFORMED THE CONSUMER THE AIR BAG NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. HOWEVER, THE CONSUMER PAID FOR THE REPLACEMENT AT A COST OF $1,274.00. *JB

TRANSMISSION CONSTANTLY SLIPS WHEN ACCELERATING. THIS IS CONCERNING BECAUSE I CANNOT DEPEND ON MY CAR TO ACCELERATE WHEN I NEED TO. I'VE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR AND AM AWAITING THEIR FEEDBACK. *KB

2002 ACCORD EX-L V6: CAR SHAKES WHEN SLOWING DOWN AND WHEN AT A STOP CONTINUES TO SHAKE AND JERK THEN POWERS OFF. CAR HAS BEEN MAINTAINED WITH REGULAR OIL CHANGES YET THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE VEHICLE. *TR

MY WARRANTY REPLACED THE ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION IN MY CAR BECAUSE IT FAILED TO WORK AT 74.378 MILES. AMERICAN HONDA REPLACED THAT FREE OF CHARGE AND NOW THE NEW ONE WITH LESS THEN 40,000 MILES HAS FAILED. IT WAS CONFIRMED BY THE HONDA DEALER THAT THIS 2ND TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE IT WHINES AND THE DIFFERENTIAL IS SLIPPING CAUSING PREMATURE WEAR ON THE AXLES. THEY WILL NOT REPLACE THIS ONE FREE OF CHARGE, THEY WANT TO CHARGE $4000 FOR REPAIRS. THE AXLES WERE WEARING IN OCT 2009 AND WERE REPLACED AT LEAST FOUR TIMES BEFORE IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION THAT WAS THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE A 2002 HONDA ACCORD. WHEN TRAVELING IN HIGH ROAD AND AIR TEMPERATURE 95+ DEGREES MY TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO JERK WITH STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. I WAS ON A LONG BRIDGE AND UNABLE TO PULL OVER AND STOP. WHEN I WAS ABLE TO STOP I LET MY ENGINE COOL DOWN. EVER SINCE THAT INCIDENT MY TRANSMISSION HAS HAD A JERKING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR. I HAVE BEEN BACK TO MY DEALERSHIP AND SERVICE MGR STATED NOTHING IS WRONG WITH YOUR TRANSMISSION. THE SERVICE MGR. KNOWING THAT MY CAR YEAR AND MODEL WERE RECALLED. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO A TRANSMISSION COMPANY RECENTLY AND THEY ADVISED ME TO RETURN TO DEALERSHIP. MY TRANSMISSION IS ABOUT TO FAIL. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE WHEN DRIVING OR PULLING INTO TRAFFIC AS MY TRANSMISSION HAS NO POWER WITH THIS JERKING. I NEVER KNOW WHEN THE VEHICLE WILL COMPLETELY FAIL CAUSING A SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO MYSELF AND OTHERS. I HAVE HAD MY TRANSMISSION SERVICED ACCORDING TO THE GUIDELINES IN MY HONDA MANUAL. I HAVE SEARCHED ON THE INTERNET AND DISCOVERED THAT THE 2002 HONDA ACCORD HAS BEEN RECALLED. I, BEING THE ORIGINAL OWNER, HAVE NEVER BEEN NOTIFIED BY HONDA.THAT MY CAR NEEDS TO BE BROUGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. I NEED TO HAVE MY TRANSMISSION REPLACED AND HONDA WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THERE PRODUCT. *TR

IGNITION KEY CAN BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION WHEN GEAR SHIFT IS NOT IN THE "PARKED" POSITION. THEREFORE, VEHICLE IS ABLE TO ROLL WHEN DRIVER EXITS VEHICLE, RESULTING IN DAMAGE AND/OR INJURY.
