I drive a 2002 Accord se sedan 5 spd. On occasion, about 2 times a month, the car stalls when I downshift from 3rd to 2nd. On each occurrence, the gas pedal is released during the shift, and the rpm drops from its nominal position to zero. The dealership says there is no service bulletin item on this issue; however, the number of related complaints on mycarstats. Com shows that this problem is not an isolated incident on this model car.

There's a problem with my 2002 2 door Honda Accord ex. The power cuts off and the car dies while is driving. I have to turn the ignition off and back on while driving. It's been happening since I bought the car. Now, this problem happens 2 or 3 times a month. I bought it back to Honda and they said there's nothing wrong with it, but I continue to get the same problem.

The immobilizer system has shutdown the vehicle 3 times. The first time was in September approximately 1 week after purchase. The second and third times were on October 14. While driving northbound on 95 on oct. 14th the immobilizer light came on and the engine shutdown creating a very hazardous situatiion for me and other drivers. The immobilizer activated again, this time while on the capital beltway. On this occasion I was almost rear ended by an 18 wheeler. The very first time the immobilizer activated it was approximately one week after purchase. The mechanics at pohanka advised they could find no problem but, that they have seen this problem many times before. The vehicle is currently in the shop and they are running diagnostics, but I assume nothing will be found this time either. I have talked to other Honda owners and several of them have also experienced this problem. I believe something is drastically wrong with the immobilizer system and is creating a very dangerous situation.
