I own both a 2004 Accord ex v6 coupe and now a 2005 ex v6 sedan with automatic transmissions. Transmission gear shifter completely misses the "d" postition and moves into "d3" when shifting from either "park or neutral modes", as though that is the correct position to operate the vehicle when driving! this is not a normal condition to operate a vehicle. There is no significant "detent" position to secure the shifter into the "d" postion. It simple slips by the "d" mode right into "d3"! every other auto transmission car I've owned required extra effort to bypass the "drive" position to place the shifter into another(lower) gear setting. Operating either oy my vehicles in this manner may eventually cause significant damage to the transmission, engine or both. It may even cause some unforeseen transmission behavior affecting drivability. Honda customer service was contacted and their suggestion was to be "more careful" in selecting the gear shifter position. That does not sound like a very substantial solution to an obvious mechanical problem (short coming).
