2002 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

MAJOR AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. WHEN GENTLY STOPPING THE VEHICLE (AT A STOP SIGN, OR AT A RED LIGHT), THE CAR LURCHES FORWARD AFTER IT HAS ALREADY COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THIS HAPPENS WHEN IT IS TRYING TO DOWNSHIFT FROM SECOND TO FIRST GEAR. THEN, THERE IS A FIVE SECOND DELAY BEFORE THE CAR ACTUALLY ENGAGES IN FIRST GEAR (IN OTHER WORDS, AFTER I STOP, I CANNOT MOVE THE CAR AGAIN FOR AT LEAST FIVE SECONDS). ALSO, SOMETIMES WHEN ACCELERATING, THE CAR SLIPS OUT OF GEAR FOR A FEW SECONDS (JERKS FORWARD AND BACK) AND THEN EVENTUALLY SLIPS BACK INTO GEAR. BOTH OF THESE PROBLEMS OCCUR SPORADICALLY. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE WORSE WHEN THE CAR IS WARMED UP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH SHE COULD HEAR A WHISTLING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 102,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 108,000.

1. BOUGHT CAR USED, EVERYTHING ELSE RUNS FINE (EXCEPT REGULAR MAINTENANCE WAS NEEDED). 2. THE TRANSMISSION JERKS BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR WITH A HIGH PITCH SQUEAL BEING EMITTED AT HIGH MPH. THIS CAR ONLY HAS 116,000 MILES ON IT. 3. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE YET, LOOKING TO GET A RECALL ON THIS BECAUSE MANY ACCORD 2002 OWNERS HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE. *TR

I HAVE A 2002 HONDA ACCORD EX THAT HAS CONTINUOUSLY BEEN HAVING TRANSMISSION ISSUES INCLUDING JERKING IN AND OUT OF GEAR REVVING UP WITOUT MOVING AND SWITCHING GEARS.

TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN STARTING TO LURCH, HESITATE, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON AND OFF AND NOBODY HAS BEEN ABLE TO PIN POINT HE PROBLEM - WE HAVE HAD IT CHECKED SEVERAL TIMES BUT NO ONE CAN AGREE ON THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED IMMEDIATELY.
