Transmission Gear Slipping problems of the 2002 Honda Accord - part 1

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 contact owns a 2002 Honda Accord. While driving various speeds, a clunking sound emitted from the front passenger side of the vehicle.

The automatic transmission slips and jerks when shifting gears--it is worse when I stop, the engine idles, and then severely jerks when I accelerate, but the jerking motion also happens going up inclines. It is so bad, it has caused broken motor mounts. I have no doubt that the transmission is eventually going to fail, which could be hazardous while driving. Though I take good care of my car, I thought that maybe it was just older and the transmission was naturally failing, but doing some research, I found this to be a common problem with Honda's transmissions in general, but particularly with the '02 Accord. It has been happening since 2013, but I will put today's date as it still is happening. I feel like this issue is so prevalent among Honda owners that Honda really should do right by their customers and recall the transmission.

I had brought the car to the Honda dealer where I was told "it is still safe to drive, I dont need to replace the transmission at the time and to drive the car until transmission no longer works". I took the car home and had to jump on the highway, as soon as I did this the cars transmission would not shift and left me stranded with my children. I got the car home and then had a mechanic from our area look at the car and he immediatly had told me that there has been problems with the transmissions for this car and Honda should never have told me it was safe to drive. I had to spend 2400. 00 on a new transmission. Honda needs to take care of this bill.

For the last 4 this car has jumped and shifted hard at stops when cold. The dealer told me this was normal and never made record of it on a service slip (roughly 70k).

The transmission now slips and stalls in the middle of intersections and you have to brake hard at stops to keep the car from lunging forward when cold. I feel Honda is charging the customer with extra maintenance to keep the transmission from going out while it is in warranty to keep them from being responsible.

For the past six months, the automatic transmission slips when shifting gears, resulting in a several-second ag before the gears re-engage and the car is capable of accelerating. It is more pronounced at lower gears (1-3). Over the last six months, the slip has become more severe, despite transmission fluid changes by both a Honda dealership and an independent mechanic. Both sources identified the problem as existing within the transmission, but could not pinpoint the precise source of the problem, and both recommended a new transmission. Because of the lag between gears and subsequent delay in acceleration, the car is unreliable when driving in even moderately dense traffic.

It seems as if the automatic transmission is slipping. It occasionally happens but is more frequent when it's raining. It was raining lightly and I was at a dead stop at a red light and upon it turning green I gave it some gas but it barely moved but I did see the rpms climb like normal, this happened for approximately 2 seconds and then all of a sudden I heard a big metal clunk noise from the engine bay and the car jerked and started to move, this startled and I'm glad no one was in front of me because I may have rear ended them. I called american Honda and informed them of my problem about a month ago but they said the 2002 Accord in question did not have this problem because the VIN did not fall between certain numbers.
