Original owner at 117,000 miles the transmission would jerk as the car accelerated. I had the transmission fluid flushed and replaced. This improved the response but didn't entirely fix it. At 120,725 miles now, this morning as I start the vehicle rolling, I notice a slow response for the transmission from a standing start. The d4 light that indicates that you are in drive is blinking. I found numerous complaints similar to mine online. It appears to me that the transmission for the 2002 Honda Accord is failing prematurely.
Transmission needed to be replaced. While driving car the d4 light flashed and then the check engine light came on,a short time prior to that it seemed it was shifted harder than normal. Took it to Honda dealership and was told the tranny was gone. Looking online for some information on this problem I found that hundreds have had the same happen to them for this year and model,I think there should have been a recall on this. The Honda dealership did give us 20% off $2900. Because we purchased the car there but I believe we should have been informed about this defect earlier.

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.
This vehicle, like many other Hondas of this era, has the 1-2 gear shifting issue. It shifts very hard from first to second and even downshifting seems to be getting harder. The issue has been going on for a very long time, and at 200,000 miles, the car is to the point that I try to drive it only in second until the lower two gears are no longer needed. We've already replaced a mainshaft ($380), which could be related to the incident (slamming into gear over and over again). There is a 3-4 second lag changing directly into second gear. There is also a lag during normal operation. It's almost as if there's a gap in between 1 and 2 where the car almost appears to be in neutral for a moment of time. If triggered just right, applying extra throttle after the transmission has already started trying to shift (which isn't noticeable as the process initiates), the engine speed will rise as if in neutral and then will slam into gear. I actually had wheel spin at one point. This erratic behavior could cause an accident, as the vehicle will take off on me. If accelerating and the car is in 2nd, the car will not have much power, so then I will gradually give it more gas, only to have it downshift and then take off (wheels chirp and everything). If I let go of the gas it will slam into second and lurch a second time, which when braking is very annoying and severely affects the braking distance. I actually almost hit somebody this past week because of a very similar incident. This incident could cause an accident by losing control of the vehicle, especially in an environment with low traction (I live in chicago, we only have a few months of optimal driving conditions). Besides that fact, Honda knows about the issue, and should have recalled this transmission years ago. Hondas used to be great, but this is really hurting their reputation with us.
In February, 2004 I purchased my pre-owned 2002 Honda Accord lx 4dr sedan at my credit union's event. It had only 14,000 miles on it at time of purchase. I thought I was getting a super great deal on a" used" Honda with low mileage! I have since used it for my job locally, on the road 5 days a week. I have kept up the maintenance from minor oil changes and fluid/filter changes to major tune ups, all at the local Honda dealership. Since that time I would put between 16 to 18,000 miles per year on the car. Two years later, by August of '06, I felt that the car was not pulling its weight properly and took it in for a check up. They said that there was nothing they could find; but keep a log of when and where it occurs throughout the day and bring it back in 2-4 wks and they would check it again. I did this, brought them my log, they looked at the car again and said it needed a new transmission (this was at 53,000 miles). Fortunately, it was under extended Honda care warranty, and I paid only a $50 deductible. For the last 3 years, I put approximately 18,000 miles per year on it again. This past October I just had them replace the timing belt, a large ticket item! now, a month later the car has been driving with a slight lurching as I begin to move from a stop or as I decelerate to brake. I took the car in and low and behold, they tell me the transmission is out! again! this is ridiculous. I have friends with Hondas at 250,000 miles and never lost their tranny! what can I do? this is a huge expense; one I never suspected I would have to replace again before reselling or trading it in.
I have a 2002 Honda Accord ex that has continuously been having transmission issues including jerking in and out of gear revving up witout moving and switching gears. Also having noticed I forgot to put car in park and turned off my car taking keys out of gear. Both of these problems are big safety issues and have occurred since owning the car for two years. I am now faced with getting a new transmission on a car that had originally less then 100 thousand miles on it when purchased. I have also had to replace the head lights and brake lights 3 times since owning the car and I have never left lights on for an extended period.
The d4 light started blinking in my 2002 Honda Accord ex, not allowing my car to upshift properly on the highway leaving me having to drive slow on a highway with speeding cars. I know Honda has had numerous complaints about the transmissions in their 2002 Accord models and refuses to recall. This is certainly a safety issue or does Honda just want to wait until people die because their car stopped dead on a highway due to a faulty transmission?.

Bought our 2002 Honda Accord ex v6 new. At around 70000 miles, transmission started giving us problems and finally had to be replaced. Very scary when light changes and you can't get car to move! rebuilt engine cost $2500 had a 12 month 12k mile warranty. Died at around 20000 miles. Car has been a lemon. Afraid to buy a 3rd transmission, new or rebuilt and let my 16 year old drive it. Honda knows there is a problem with all the v6 they built for several years 2001-2004. When I called they could have cared less. And this is a safety issue.
Normal driving, car transmission gives jerk when comes to stop, Honda has given no help, simple no. It occurs everytime the car slow down and sometimes the engine stops working.
The transmission in my 2002 Honda Accord started to slip and shift very hard in the summer of 2007 with only about 53000 miles on it. It's causing me to drive somewhat erratically because it jumps into gear when I try to accelerate. I've drained and refilled the transmission fluid but haven't tried any repairs on it due to how much it would cost.

Automatic transmission flares upon acceleration between 1st to 2nd gear/2nd to 3rd gear. Odbii codes p0730, p0740. This is my second transmission. The first transmission was replaced under a settlement agreement, however the same issues are arising yet again.
2002 Honda Accord developed problems with the transmission, and dashboard light sensors. The transmission was replaced 3 times. After the last visit to the dealer the ignition began to malfunction, after putting the gear into park sometimes the key would lock in, which would require the consumer to restart the vehicle, shift the gears place back into park and then pull the key out of the ignition.
