I purchased my 2002 Honda Accord in 2007 and was told by the dealer I purchased it from that they had repaired the transmission as part of Honda's recall. I began leaking transmission fluid and shortly after, the transmission began to hesitate. When I am moving from a stopped position, the engine rev's up but the vehicle will not move then suddenly the vehicle will take off. I am terrified of driving the vehicle. I am afraid of crossing traffic, making turns in fear that the vehicle will hesitate and not move in and I will be hit by an oncoming vehicle. This is a known recall from Honda corporation and unfortunately due to the dealer misrepresenting performing the recall work, I am now stuck with the vehicle and its repair costs.

While driving into work my transmission started to shift improperly and the engine started to rev up during shifting process which could of caused me to run into the back of another car. . . After looking this issue up it appears that Honda has a extreme defect with transmission issues from 98-03 and are doing absolutely nothing about it. When the transmission causes the Honda to shift wrong the engine will rev up when shifting which on bad weather conditions or regular driving conditions can cause a serious accident. Another thing is when you are stopped at a red light and it turns green the car can stall for a brief moment and then rev forward which can cause whiplash to the driver and or passengers in the vehicle. I just purchased my Honda Accord coupe se on 9/26/10 and already I am having this transmission issue and when I took it to Honda they told me that the transmission is leaking out transmission fluid all over the bottom of the vehicle and was told it would cost 2890 from Honda to fix. My CO workers transmission dropped in her Honda Accord causing her car to come to a complete stop in the middle of the road. . . . Please note this is a immediate safety concern considering if you are on the expressway someone including the driver could die.

Found transmission fluid on carport. Immediately took the car to Honda dealer in coral springs(where originally purchased) 2 trips to listen to repair person tell me seals were bad but I needed a new rebuilt transmission. I have no issues with noise, whining, shifting etc. . . Only have 41,528 miles on this car. Never mistreated or driven hard in any way. Was told if seals leaked again that Honda would only replace with rebuilt transmission, not fix transmission or I could choose to go to an independent transmission shop. What is up with this??? I have an extended warranty but come on now, this is stupid. Why would I replace a perfectly working transmission over seals??? has anyone else ran in to this issue? please let me know.

My 2002 Honda Accord was purchased brand new with 50 miles on it in November 2001. I am currently at 150,000 miles. Scheduled routine maintenances have always been completed, and I have had no problems with the car until recently. I started noticing a slight hesitation upon starting off several months ago. The check engine light came on. I thought I might have gotten bad gas and put in gas treatments for several trips. The check engine light would not turn off and the hesitation continued. I had a diagnostic done and it reported that the egr valve needed to be checked or replaced. I had the valve replaced. The car appeared to work fine for the next several months. Earlier last week as I started off to work, the car would not shift into the next gear. The check engine light came on and the drive gear on the dashboard started blinking. I immediately stopped, put the car in gear and shut the engine off. I turned it back on and the car hesitated for a few seconds before going into the correct gears. The check engine light remained on. I went to have a diagnostic done and 2 reports ran -- one for an egr valve and one about possible transmission failure. The egr valve had already been replaced so I took it back to see what the problem was this past Saturday. The valve was flushed/cleaned and the light went off. I also had my battery replaced. There was no leak in my transmission and the fluid level/color was ok. Everything went fine. This morning, the car hesitated again and would not shift into the next gear. The check engine light came on and the drive gear on the dashboard was blinking. Several cars were behind me. I tried to accelerate to keep from getting hit, but the car went slower and slower. I had another diagnostic run this morning -- possible transmission failure or low transmission fluid. The attendant checked my levels. Everything was ok. It's the transmission. Autobeef. Com reports this with 2002 Hondas. A recall needs to be done.

05-08-2007 oil seal was replaced due to leaking transmission fluid. On 05-21-2007 transmission fluid again was leaking, dealer service center advised the the left seal needed replacement, and/or the transmission needed to be replaced. The out of balance or wheel rotation sound began after an extended trip to wisconsin, on the return trip. There was no leaking at that time. After having the wheels cheked, and no explanation for the sound, we continued to identify the source. When we spotted the fluid on the garage floor we took car in for service. 05-28-2007 precision trans verified definetly the transmission was going bad and seal replacement would not solve the problem. The vehicle has only 71640 miles.

I had to replace the transmission in my 2002 Honda Accord se at just over 50,000 miles. I noticed the transmission kept slipping and the gear indicator light on my dash kept flashing. Also, noticed some fluid leakage on my driveway, which turned out to be my transmission fluid.

Transmission failure, at first it was not shifting normally then the check engine and d4 (flashed) lights turned on. Within a week it smelled terrible and was leaking huge amounts of transmission fluid. A local transmission shop looked at the transmission and told me that it was the internal bearings, that this was a known problem on Accords and that the dealership should honor an extended warranty. The dealership told me that my VIN # was not covered by the extended warranty only the v6 model even though they share the same transmission. After I complained Honda agreed to cover parts only and I was stuck with over $600. 00 bill for labor. I find this offensive due to the fact that they were aware of the problem and choose not to cover it on the 4 cylinder model.
