Transmission Slip Out Of Gear problems of the 2002 Honda Accord

Transmission started slipping, would slip out of gear, would shift hard or not at all, lights on dash revealed something wrong with brakes. . . Did as manufacture suggested turning off car and restarting. . . Lights went off. . . Few days later check engine light came on. . . Took it to dealership. . . They told me $5000 I need to replace transmission.

Major automatic transmission problems. When gently stopping the vehicle (at a stop sign, or at a red light), the car lurches forward after it has already come to a complete stop. This happens when it is trying to downshift from second to first gear. Then, there is a five second delay before the car actually engages in first gear (in other words, after I stop, I cannot move the car again for at least five seconds). Also, sometimes when accelerating, the car slips out of gear for a few seconds (jerks forward and back) and then eventually slips back into gear. Both of these problems occur sporadically. The problem seems to be worse when the car is warmed up.

I have taken my Accord into the dealer for transmission leaks and problems three times and have to take it in again. The car jerks and slips out of gears and I have had a few close calls in intersections because of this problem.

I am a naval officer, single parent, faithful tax payer, and a foster mom. I come to you today with a complaint about my Honda Accord automobile (2002 ex v6 engine) to which I am the original owner, and the service I received from american Honda and hoehn Honda of carlsbad CA. Up until this point, I have not had many issues with my Honda. My Honda Accord 2002 was a wonderful car, my very first new car, which I was the origional owner, finances, and so on. I drove this car off the lot without even 1 mile on the dash, and the dealership told me by law they had to put at least 1 mile on the dash, in order to sell the car, and they allowed me to put that 1 mile on the dash. I bought this car with the intentions of keeping well past 400k miles, and possibly passing it onto my son as his first car, which would of given me the security that I was passing him something reliable, and something I know he would have little to no major out of pocket expenses for, and clearly at the time that was the repartition that Hondas hadnow, I would not give this car to anyone, knowing what I know. Before all of this occurred, I was basically drive my Honda to and from work, to and from my kids school, and in and around daily travels, with exception to occasional family outings. I recently paid this car off, and since this time, I have come out of my pocket with all kinds of unforeseen expenses and enough is enough. My first experience with my 2002 Honda Accords transmission occurred was when I was driving at 35 mph and the car bucked in ongoing traffic and completely stalled. I was amazed because, my car had not did this before, and it was terrifying considering I had my kids and 2 of their friends in the car, and it did a number on our necks. Now, my Honda Accord 2002 now begins to slip every time I pulled off at the light, stop sign, and so on. Hondas transmission started slipping out of gear, jerking, and while driving at a speed of 45-60 mph my car would start to increase speed.

2002 Honda Accord se just started having a transmission problem. Car would lurch forward while stopped, which could have caused an accident. The car while driving would surge and jump out of gear, which could also cause an accident. Second transmission in 70,000 miles. After reading on the internet, there has seems to be hundreds of complaints about this transmission. Honda needs to own up to there faulty transmissions.

The contact owns a 2002 Honda Accord. The contact stated that the transmission was reluctant to shift out of the gear. Whenever he shifted into fourth gear it failed to down shift and remained in fourth gear. The failure has occurred at various speeds. The Honda dealer advised the contact that the failure was caused by a faulty transmission and needed to be replaced. The transmission was replaced at the owners expense for $2100. The manufacturer confirmed that there were no recalls, warranties or reimbursement regarding the failure. The failure mileage was 85,000.

My 2002 Honda Accord lx is at 110k miles. I am having transmission problems. It is an automatic transmission. It never happened before nor did it have a minor problem leading to it. It just all of a sudden this year, 2009, started to jerk between stop and goes, slips out of gear and decelerates, it drops gears when slowing to a stop. I am afraid to pull out of traffic when I know I have enough time and space to pull out due to my car jerking. And also afraid of stopping at red lights and stop signs knowing that my car will jerk, slip, and go then decelerate. I have replaced my timing belt, fan belt, water pump, transmission fluid flushed and refilled, engine oil, oil pan and gasket, spark plugs. I have done all the necessary replacements for my car at 100k mile mark. And I was told if you keep the maintenance my car will always run like new. And it had run like new until this summer when my car started to jerk, slip, shift in and out of gear, and decelerate for no reason. I am not very happy after all the money, time and effort I put in this car and especially for it to suddenly not drive correctly.
