I'm the third owner of a 2003 Honda Accord v6 ex coupe. At 151000 miles my transmission began to fail. It would slam it's way from 5th gear to 1st. Luckily nobody was behind me. I was going 60 mph from the shell station . 5 miles from my house, and slowed to 30 by the time myou car was in 1st in a curve. I almost lost control of the vehicle. Come web to find out this is a wide spread unresolved problem that is endangering everyone in and around these vehicles. I called Honda and they said in 2004 the vehicle already had the recall performed, but much like the thousands of other people who ended up with this cat it did not fix the faulty transmission and Honda knows that the issue still exists and wants people to continue paying to get the same problematic rebuilt transmission. I can not believe every one of these transmissions haven't been recalled, and if needed I will pursue legal action against Honda especially having a 1 year old daughter in a known rolling death trap. Once it gets to first it flashes d on the dash and the check engine comes on. My tcs and abs is also tripped by this issue causing further risk of endangering other drivers and myself. Every search I have made on this vehicle days the same as I'm saying now, but at varying stages. Please help get this issue resolved not just for myself but for everyone who owns this particular Honda. To make matters worse this is the first year model of the Honda Accord v6 ex coupe. The car is currently parked and won't be moved until a recall or I swap the entire transmission out for a manual transmission that I can't afford, but I definitely can't afford to replace my car or continue to pay to replace the same faulty transmission. This is an outrage.
