2000 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

2000 HONDA ACCORD SEDAN WITH APPROXIMATELY 109000 MILES (10900 MILES PER YEAR) EXPERIENCED TRANSMISSION FAILURE ON HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH CAUSED SUDDEN DEACCELERATION. AT THAT HIGH SPEED, IF FAILURE CONTINUED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT COULD OCCUR. FORTUNATELY, THE TRANSMISSION BECAME OPERABLE AGAIN. 15 MINUTES LATER IN HEAVY CITY TRAFFIC THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT IN LOWER GEARS MAKING A TOW NECESSARY. CURRENTLY, THE VEHICLE IS AT A SERVICE GARAGE AWAITING EVALUATION. *TW

AFTER I REMOVED MY KEY FROM THE IGNITION AND WAS GETTING OUT, I NOTICED THAT THE CAR STARTED TO ROLL. I THEN REALIZED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS STILL IN DRIVE. I CHECKED FOR RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE AND FOUND RECALL FITTING THIS DESCRIPTION AND FOR MY MAKE MODEL AND YEAR. NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: PE05002. THIS PROBLEM IS REPEATABLE. I CALLED HONDA AT 1-800-999-1009 AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL.. WE TOOK THE CAR TO MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER, WHO CONFIRMED THE PROBLEM AND ALSO TOLD ME THAT THE RECALL DID NOT MATCH MY VIN. DEALERSHIP IS ED NAPLETON HONDA 636-928-1155. INVOICE # 227162. ESTIMATE $596.00 PLUS TAXES. WE PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW ON AUGUST 16, 1999 AND THIS IS AN EARLY 2000 HONDA ACCORD. WE FEEL THAT THIS CAR SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL PROGRAM. PLEASE ADVISE. THANKS. *TR
