general problems of the 2002 Honda Accord

The ignition system of the vehicle is faulty. The engine keeps stalling intermittently and the vehicle shuts down. The issue has been observed at both low and high speeds. The issue occurs on average once in two weeks. This issue has put our family's safety in jeopardy. We filed a complaint with Honda but they are not willing to help with addressing this issue. This issue has been a problem for several years with no restitution from Honda. We need to be compensated usd 2. 5million for the stress and aggravation this issue has caused us and for putting our family's safety in jeopardy. Please help us by arranging for mediation services with Honda motor company of America. Thank you.

I was in a car accident I was driving and my airbag was defected.

Tl the contact owns a 2002 Honda Accord. While driving, the vehicle failed to accelerate and the check engine warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 106,284.

Takata recall: my transmission of my vehicle needs to be replaced because a faulty part was used in the vehicle. The transmission slips and will cost $3,000 to fix because Honda used a bad part. Honda has recalled transmissions in Honda Accords years in close proximity of the vehicles year. They however did not do this one and I feel like I shouldn't have to pay for their mistake.

The heads on this car have to replaced, we paid over $1,000 a few years ago to replace the heads in the car. This past year the same thing happened and it was going to cost over $1,000 again. But this time it cause the engine to lock up. There was a small leak in the engine casing because of the head in the car.

Driving around 60 m/p/h on 08/12/15 , a bang came from the right passenger side of the car. When I got home I inspected the problem. The engine sub-frame had rotten and fell apart, I was very lucky I did'nt have a bad accident. I went online and found out that Honda had it ac drainpipe directs water, which is right onto the sub-frame in this section, which cause it to rust out faster than the rest of the frame. I will be getting it repaired, because my granddaugther need this car to get work & college. Honda motor should repay me. I understand that Honda know about this problem some years ago. (1999 - 2002 problem).

I have Honda Accord 2002 which has been regularly serviced by Honda dealers. I recently got my 120k service done and spend about $1000 on service and parts. At that time everything was diagnosed ok. After couple of months driving the engine light came on. I went to the dealer and was told that my car needs transmission replacement with a cost of $4000 upward. I researched on the web and came to know that the 2002 Accord have transmission issues. A recall was done in 2004 for transmission. I didn't receive any recall notice from Honda in 2004. Since Honda knows about the issue I think Honda should be liable to pay for the cost of fixing the transmission. Could anyone let me know what is my rights in this situation considering it is a known issue and Honda did nothing about it. It is a potential safety hazard since faulty transmission can lock the engine resulting in crash. Please advise.

The transmission has been reported as failing due to codes p0705 and p0706. My local Honda dealership stated it would cost $4800 to replace the transmission. This is apparently a long standing issue with these models.

August 2013 - just stopped while driving; placed in park and started ok; December 2013 - stopped on highway while driving - 60 mph in center lane - dangerous - placed in park and started again. Took to mechanic who replaced ignition switch as old Hondas have been having this problem two days later, just stopped while driving on highway. Placed in park and tried to start; turned over, but didn't start - waited 1/2 hour - started again. Drove about 10 miles, then stopped again. Called tow truck. Now it starts, but I'm afraid to go anywhere note: feels like I ran out of gas when it stops.

I was driving in traffic and my car's d4 light began blinking and when I would slow down to a complete stop the car would jerk before coming to a stop. I had to restart the car to get it to stop jerking. This has happened maybe 4 times before and I took it to someone and they said that the transmission could be going and I would need a new one. There are thousands of complaints about the transmissions on these older Honda Accords, and I think it is about time they do something to fix this issue.

When iam traveling with my and my wife beacaue of transmission problem in my Honda Accord 2002 grears are not changing . As Honda company know abt this transmission issue ( like know issue) and for fixing this we need to spend almost 5000$ . But we can't if Honda company know this is common issue why they are not recalling those types of cars.

Lost power and unable to safely control car. Pulled into intersection and lost power in front of on-coming traffic. Defective transmission, cars is unable to shift, may lose power or accelerate suddenly. Well documented problem in Honda transmission, unsafe to drive as power is unreliable and transmission can fail at any moment. Honda already previously named in class action lawsuit, problems remain. Honda refuses to acknowledge or repair. Ntsb needs to order a recall for the safety of drivers and passengers.

Transmission skips between 1st and 2nd and needs replaced. Only 112,000 miles and I have done every service recommended - all but one were done by the dealership! there has always been a little jerk there when accelerating but was told it was fine.

Automatic transmission jerks when accelerating past 20mph or when putting it in reverse. After some research, I found out that this seems to be a common problem with 2002 Honda Accords yet it has not been recalled. Please look into this issue since a lot of drivers appear to be having the same transmission problem.

The contact owns a 2002 Honda Accord. The contact stated the vehicle would vibrate violently when stopped. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where the contact was informed that the motor mounts needed to be replaced, but the vehicle could possibly continue to vibrate when stopped. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 84,000.

At first instance, the car began to show sluggish conditions when shifting gears. As time went on, the 'slips' began to grow more and more dangerous to the point that the car could barely shift between gears at all and was a safety hazard for both driver and to anyone around me as I was vulnerable to be rear-ended by anyone too close behind (because the car could not accelerate) and to those ahead of me as the car tended to jerk forward. After a repair to the solenoid once before, the car's performance improved, however some sluggish conditions remain and the conditions only worsen as time goes on. At 102,000 miles, the car's 2nd' transmission appears to need to be replaced to function properly. This is a known issue for Honda Accords as reported on several websites and known and acknowledged by independent mechanics across the country. It is irresponsible and reprehensible for Honda to not take responsibility for this and be held accountable. At this current time Honda refuses to take such action and will only offer minor reduction in repair costs that hardly seems fair to the thousand's of owners affected by this. Please keep record of this and offer whatever assistance you can provide. . Read more...

2002 Honda Accord ex v6. The transmission was determined by holler Honda to be terminal, meaning no good needing to be replaced. The danger occurs when you have to accelerate with the normal traffic flow and are unable to because of slipping and improper shifting. A accident waiting to happen. I'm sure there have already been accidents due to this by people who unaware of the severity of the problem. From what I've read this is a very common problem, Honda has agreed to split the cost of the repair of $4,600, with my mom having alzheimer's and me no job that figure might as well be 4 million dollars. Please somebody help us with this problem.

Vehicle caught on fire while driving on roadway.

Purchased the 2002 Honda Accord se coupe in March 2008 with 64k miles. After a few months of driving I began to feel a slight jerk when I placed my feet on the accelerator. Took my car to a local Honda dealership only to be told that I needed a transmission flush. After driving car I began to feel the slight jerk and over a year I recieved 2 transmission flushes. Jerking has gotten so bad that I am not able to trade because it is basically a lemon. Honda dealership has told me now that I need a new transmission. Over 3k to replace and after calling american Honda they refused to help with the cost. This is a known problem with the 2002 Accords but yet they wont own up to it. I will never purchase a Honda ever again.
