We bought our used Accord about a year ago for our daughter to go to college and not to long after we realize that the transmission was starting to shift very rough especially from the lower gears to the high ones. . We changed the transmission fluid and do all the regular maintenance for the vehicle. . Yet we have noticed that the problem has gotten worse. . Now the transmission not only jerks really bad shifting up but it's worse going downwards. . Sometimes now the reverse gear will not engage and we have to turn off the engine and turn it back on before it goes to reverse. . We took it to the dealer and they said that we have to replace the transmission and most probably the engine mounts. . $2500 to $3500 we call american Honda and see if they will help and of course our factory warranty has run out so we are on our own. . According to some auto shops that we have talked to this the problem that these Accords have. . . Faulty transmission. . What is Honda doing? nothing . . What are we going to do? shouldn't we file a class action law suit against Honda for not fixing this problem.
