NORMAL DRIVING OF THE CAR HAS LEAD TO A TRANSMISSION FAILURE THAT IS KNOWN BY WIDELY BY OTHER VICTIMS OF THE PROBLEM. 2002 HONDA ACCORD EX, TRANSMISSION IS KNOW TO FAIL DUE TO 2ND GEAR SLIPPING, AND OTHER GEARS 'JERKING' AROUND. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS STARTED. WHEN CAR GOES INTO SECOND GEAR IT LUNGES FORWARD OR FEELS LIKE SOMEONE HIT YOU FROM THE REAR. ALSO JERK VIOLENTLY WHEN PUT INTO REVERSE. WHEN TRANSMISSION IS ON IT'S LAST BREATH , IT DOES NOT GO INTO GEAR, MEANING IF YOUR TRYING TO GET ON THE MAIN ROAD FROM A SIDE STREET, YOU MIGHT BE HIT ON THE SIDE IF YOUR LEAN YOUR CAR OUT TO GO WHEN TRANSMISSION DOES NOT GO INTO GEAR, LEAVING YOU VULNERABLE ON THE ROAD.

PRICING FROM $6,000(TRANSMISSION SWAP FROM ACURA CL-S TYPE S)-$1,500(TRANSMISSION REBUILD). HONDA ACCORD DRIVERS CAN NOT AFFORD THIS DUE TO HONDA IGNORANCE OF IT'S CUSTOMERS SAFETY. *TR

2002 HONDA ACCORD - TRANSMISSION JERKS WHILE STOPPED IN GEAR. WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT I FEEL THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTING AND JERKING. WHEN I TAKE OFF THE ENGINE REVS UP. CAR HAS 65,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

AT 65000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING IN 1ST AND 2ND GEARS. I STARTED RESEARCHING THIS ON THE INTERNET BECAUSE I FELT THAT A RELIABLE AUTOMOBILE LIKE A HONDA ACCORD SHOULDN'T HAVE A TRANSMISSION GO AT SUCH LOW MILLAGE. THERE WERE SEVERAL HUNDRED PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE SAME YEAR MODEL HONDA ACCORD WITH THE SAME AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION THAT HAVE HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AT LOW MILLAGE. HONDA OF AMERICA KNOWS THAT THIS IS A DEFECT IN THEIR PRODUCT AND REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. IT IS NOT AT ALL FAIR TO THEIR CUSTOMERS. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THEM STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND HELP US WITH THIS ISSUE. I CALLED THEM AND THE PERSON I TALKED TO WAS VERY RUDE AND TOLD ME THAT IT WASN'T THEIR PROBLEM AND WOULD NOT HELP IN ANY WAY.
