2002 HONDA ACCORD SE, 4 DOOR, AUTOMATIC; 1) CAR IS HAVING SEVERE TRANSMISSION FAILURE. RPMS INCREASE BUT CAR WILL NOT MOVE AND THEN IT VIOLENTLY SHIFTS INTO GEAR AND THEN STALLS AGAIN ON TAKE OFF BECAUSE IT WILL NOT SHIFT INTO DRIVE. THIS PROBLEM BEGAN OCCURRING RECENTLY AT 118,000 MILES. CAR IS A ONE OWNER AND IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH ALL MAINTENANCE CONDUCTED AT REGULAR INTERVALS. CAR CANNOT BE DRIVEN NOW SINCE IT IS A SAFETY / HAZARD TO BE ON THE ROAD / INTERSTATE. VEHICLE IS NOW AT THE LOCAL MECHANIC AND AWAITING HONDA OF AMERICA TO AUTHORIZE PAYMENT FOR REPAIRS AND REPLACEMENT OF TRANSMISSION. THIS CAR IS USED TO TRANSPORT MY WIFE AND NEWBORN BABY. HONDA SHOULD HAVE DISCLOSED THIS AS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD HAVE ISSUED A RECALL. I HAVE DISCOVERED AS OF TODAY 12/31/2010 THAT THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF HONDA OWNERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM ACROSS THE NATION. AS A SPECIAL AGENT, I HOPE THAT THE NHTSA GETS INVOLVED SOON AND FORCES HONDA TO DO THE RIGHT THING. AMERICAN LIVES ARE BEING PUT AT RISK AT THE EXPENSE OF A FOREIGN AUTOMAKER WHO WANTS TO RAKE IN PROFITS. *TR

THIS IS MY 2002 HONDA ACCORD 2ND TRANSMISSION TORQUE CONVERTER TO FAIL. I WAS ON THE TURNPIKE GOING 60 MPH WHEN MY SPEED STARTED TO DROP TO 0 RAPIDLY. THE LARGE TRUCKS BEHIND ME WAS ABLE TO GO AROUND ME IN JUST THE NICK OF TIME. I THANK GOD WE WERE NOT KILLED OR ANYONE ELSE HURT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE FOUND THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION FROM 1999 TO 2002 WITH HONDA ACCORDS. WHEN THE TORQUE CONVERTER GOES OUT THE CAR DOES NOT KNOW TO GO FASTER. THE SPEED JUST DROPS WITHOUT ANY CONTROL. THE ENGINE IS WORKING HARD TO MAKE THE CAR GO FORWARD. THE TORQUE CONVERTER GOES OUT WITHOUT ANY TYPE OF WARNING. I HAD A NEW TRANSMISSION PUT IN AT 71,000 MILES IT'S 146,000 LATER AND THE SAME PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED TO MY CAR. I WOULD HATE TO SEE ANYONE GET SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED WITH THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM. I JUST HAD MY TRANSMISSION REBUILT BECAUSE AMERICAN HONDA IS NOT MAKING NEW TRANSMISSION FOR CARS BUILT FROM 1999 TO 2002. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2002 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH SHE WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH IN WHICH THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.

TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WHILE DRIVING CAR THE D4 LIGHT FLASHED AND THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON,A SHORT TIME PRIOR TO THAT IT SEEMED IT WAS SHIFTED HARDER THAN NORMAL. TOOK IT TO HONDA DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THE TRANNY WAS GONE. LOOKING ONLINE FOR SOME INFORMATION ON THIS PROBLEM I FOUND THAT HUNDREDS HAVE HAD THE SAME HAPPEN TO THEM FOR THIS YEAR AND MODEL,I THINK THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL ON THIS. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP DID GIVE US 20% OFF $2900.BECAUSE WE PURCHASED THE CAR THERE BUT I BELIEVE WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN INFORMED ABOUT THIS DEFECT EARLIER.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN MONTGOMERY STREET IN SAVANNAH GEORGIA GOING NORTH IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE OF A 4 LANE ROAD. THE CAR IN THE NEXT LANE GOING THE SAME DIRECTION AS ME WAS TURNING LEFT. A CAR COMING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION TRIED TO TURN LEFT AT THE SAME TIME AS THE CAR NEXT TO ME, NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE ME COMING. I WAS HIT ON MY DRIVERS SIDE DOOR/FRONT OF THE CAR GOING 40MPH. I DO NOT YET HAVE AN ESTIMATE ON THE DAMAGES OF THE CAR BUT IT IS MOST LIKELY TOTALED. BOTH CARS HAD TO BE TOWED. MY CAR WAS A 2002 HONDA ACCORD. THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYED AND EXPLODED, LEAVING MY CHEST STINGING. MY AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY AT ALL. *TR
