Transmission Stuck In Gear problems of the 2002 Honda Accord

I am an owner of three Honda vehicles due to their reliability. I bought the 2002 Honda Accord ex v6 right after christmas (Dec 26th, 2009). I bought it for my two sons to use (ages 17 and 18). A little over a month of owning the vehicle, my younger son reported to me that while he was driving the vehicle, several of the lights on the dashboard went off including the engine check light, the tcs light as well as the d4 light. He said that the car started acting weird and that the engine felt like it was stuck in the same gear. This was while he was on the highway and the engine started racing. I took the vehicle to several shops including aamco and they all indicated that this was a hard code and that the transmission needs to be replaced. Cost from aamco was between $2,500 and $3,000 depending on what they find when they take the transmission apart. The vehicle had roughly 92,000 miles when I purchased it and barely had 1,000 miles when the issue popped up. The car remains somewhat drivable but the engine seems like it is going to explode because the gears seem to be stuck and the car races especially when on the highway. Again, this vehicle was purchased for my two sons due to the supposed reliability of the Honda vehicle. Researching the issue on line, I've come across several sites exposing this same problem with these Honda Accords. I've called Honda and their only response was that they do not handle recalls, NHTSA does and until they determine this is an issue, Honda cannot do anything about it. I think that it is about time that NHTSA does the right thing by these Honda owners who are experiencing the same issues that I am having with my transmission!.

While pulling out of the parking garage, the transmission seemed to slip gears and then get stuck in 1st gear. The check engine light came on, the d4 started flashing and the tcs light came on. I had to pull over and turn off the car. When I turned the car back on, only the check engine light remained on and everything else seemed fine. A mechanic told me that it was just a shifting malfunction and he reset the computer. However, a couple of weeks later it happened while I was driving on the street and I had to quickly get over to the side of the road before any cars rear-ended me as the car was suddenly going very slow. I have had the transmission fluid flushed and this didn't help at all. I have had all other required maintenance and still the transmission is going out at slightly over 100,000 miles.
