Honda Accord Power Train Automatic Transmission Safety Report | Mar 01, 2009
Reported on Mar 01, 2009
| I BOUGHT MY 2002 HONDA ACCORD 4 DOOR EX AUTOMATIC FROM A COWORKER APPROXIMATELY 1.5 YEARS AGO. I IMMEDIATELY NOTICED HARD SHIFTS FROM FIRST GEAR TO SECOND GEAR DURING ANY TYPE OF ACCELERATION. THE ISSUE HAS BEEN GETTING WORSE AND WORSE. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD A TRANSMISSION BE FAULTY AT UNDER 100,000 MILES. WHAT IS MORE DISTURBING IS THAT HONDA RECALLED THE 2001 ACCORDS FOR THIS ISSUE AND THEY USED THE SAME TRANSMISSION IN THE 2002'S. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM, ESPECIALLY WHEN A $2000 TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT IS THE END-GAME. HONDA MUST TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR LACK OF QUALITY AND RECOGNIZE THAT THEIR REPUTATION AS A QUALITY AUTO MANUFACTURER IS IN SERIOUS JEOPARDY. *TR | |
