I cannot make it across busy streets safely due to my vehicles transmission torque converter. It takes too long to engage from first to second gear. There was a recall on this issue back in 2004.

As I pushed down on gas the car hesitated to go and my check engine light pops on. I took my car to advanced auto parts to check it and it read transmission torque converter.

3 Automatic Transmission Torque Converter problem

Failure Date: 08/09/2013

I own a 2001 Accord v6 with a little over 136,000 miles. Check engine light came on after car had been hesitating and slipping when changing gears. Also was pulling when going around corners (almost felt like braking automaticall). Took the car in, and initially there was a code for iacv (idle air control valve). Auto shop flushed the system, reset check engine light. The next day, check engine light came on again. Brought it in after a couple of weeks and it's a code p0740 for tcc (torque converter clutch) solenoid valve circuit malfunction. Was told it's the transmission, which appears to be happening quite frequently - and conveniently after the 100,000 warranty extension was granted. Feels unsafe driving the car, not knowing if/when the transmission is going to fail, so now I'm forced to spend $2000 getting the transmission rebuilt.
