IN FEBRUARY, 2004 I PURCHASED MY PRE-OWNED 2002 HONDA ACCORD LX 4DR SEDAN AT MY CREDIT UNION'S EVENT. IT HAD ONLY 14,000 MILES ON IT AT TIME OF PURCHASE. I THOUGHT I WAS GETTING A SUPER GREAT DEAL ON A" USED" HONDA WITH LOW MILEAGE! I HAVE SINCE USED IT FOR MY JOB LOCALLY, ON THE ROAD 5 DAYS A WEEK. I HAVE KEPT UP THE MAINTENANCE FROM MINOR OIL CHANGES AND FLUID/FILTER CHANGES TO MAJOR TUNE UPS, ALL AT THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP. SINCE THAT TIME I WOULD PUT BETWEEN 16 TO 18,000 MILES PER YEAR ON THE CAR. TWO YEARS LATER, BY AUGUST OF '06, I FELT THAT THE CAR WAS NOT PULLING ITS WEIGHT PROPERLY AND TOOK IT IN FOR A CHECK UP. THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD FIND; BUT KEEP A LOG OF WHEN AND WHERE IT OCCURS THROUGHOUT THE DAY AND BRING IT BACK IN 2-4 WKS AND THEY WOULD CHECK IT AGAIN. I DID THIS, BROUGHT THEM MY LOG, THEY LOOKED AT THE CAR AGAIN AND SAID IT NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION (THIS WAS AT 53,000 MILES). FORTUNATELY, IT WAS UNDER EXTENDED HONDA CARE WARRANTY, AND I PAID ONLY A $50 DEDUCTIBLE. FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS, I PUT APPROXIMATELY 18,000 MILES PER YEAR ON IT AGAIN. THIS PAST OCTOBER I JUST HAD THEM REPLACE THE TIMING BELT, A LARGE TICKET ITEM! NOW, A MONTH LATER THE CAR HAS BEEN DRIVING WITH A SLIGHT LURCHING AS I BEGIN TO MOVE FROM A STOP OR AS I DECELERATE TO BRAKE. I TOOK THE CAR IN AND LOW AND BEHOLD, THEY TELL ME THE TRANSMISSION IS OUT! AGAIN! THIS IS RIDICULOUS. I HAVE FRIENDS WITH HONDAS AT 250,000 MILES AND NEVER LOST THEIR TRANNY! WHAT CAN I DO? THIS IS A HUGE EXPENSE; ONE I NEVER SUSPECTED I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE AGAIN BEFORE RESELLING OR TRADING IT IN. *TR

MY TRANSMISSION IN MY 2002 HONDA ACCORD V6 STAYS IN FIRST GEAR FOR SOME TIME BEFORE VIOLENTLY KICKING INTO SECOND. MY PROBLEM IS THAT I LIVE ON BUSY STREETS AND WHEN I PULL OUT ONTO ONE OF THESE STREETS, I AM UNABLE TO ACCELERATE AT THE RATE OF SPEED THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC IS GOING. THUS, CARS ARE SLAMMING ON BREAKS TO AVOID SLAMMING INTO THE BACK OF ME. SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS. NO ACTION TAKEN YET SINCE I HEARD HONDA DOES NOTHING FOR YOU AND I AM UNABLE TO AFFORD THE COSTLY REPAIR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 HONDA ACCORD. SHE APPLIED PRESSURE ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE DRIVER PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH CAUTION. THE ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE WAS CALLED TO THE SCENE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR INSPECTION. THE FAILURE WAS CONTRIBUTED TO THE TRANSMISSION WHICH REQUIRED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED FOR THE MALFUNCTION AT THIS TIME. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 94,000.
