2002 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

2002 HONDA ACCORD, 4 CYL, COUPE, SE: FLASHING D4 LIGHT, AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON. CAR FEELS AS IT IS "SLIPPING" INTO AND OUT OF GEARS, WHEN TAKING OFF AGGRESSIVELY ACCELERATING, AND STOPPING. *TR

I BOUGHT A HONDA BECAUSE AT THE TIME THEY HAD A GOOD REPUTATION FOR BEING RELIABLE CAR. MY TRANNY WOULD CATCH SOME FROM THE START BUT IN GOT WORSE. I TOOK IT INTO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T SEE ANY PROBLEM AND NO RECALLS WERE ISSUED. I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP IN A DIFFERENT TOWN AND SAME THING. THEY ACTED LIKE THEY HAD NOT HEARD OF ANY PROBLEMS. THEN I FIND OUT THAT THEY ARE SEEING ISSUES WITH THE V6 WHICH DOES NOT PERTAIN TO ME. YET IF HONDA HAS TRANNY PROBLEMS WITH SOME MANY DIFFERENT MAKES AND MODELS WOULDN'T THAT TELL YOU THEY MAKE A FAULTY TRANSMISSION. I THINK THEY NEED TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS AND TAKE CARE OF HONDA CUSTOMERS. *TR

90,00 MILES / TRANSMISSION FAILED . HARD SHIFT VERY BAD .IMPOSSIBLE TO GET ON HIGHWAY .WILL NEED TO SPEND 3500.00 TO REPLACE . THIS TRANSMISSION IN VERY BAD . I AM HANDICAPPED AND GETTING STUCK SOMEWHERE OR NOT BEING ABLE TO GET ON A HIGHWAY SAFELY IS A BIG HAZARD. *TR

I OWN A 2002 HONDA ACCORD SE WITH 96+ MILES ON IT AND I ALREADY HAVE MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS ON WITH TRANSMISSION PROBLEM (TCC). INITIAL SLIPPAGE/JERKING OF ACCELERATION CAUSES A THREAT WHILE DRIVING AND I WOULD STRONGLY RECOMMEND THIS MODEL TO BE RECALLED.
