I was driving home from work in stop-and-go traffic. When I went to accelerate I noticed that the vehicle jerked, as if it had a problem shifting. I didn't think much of it at the time until it did it again after I came to another stop and accelerated once traffic started moving again. This time I pulled over to the side of the road. I then noticed the malfunction indicator lamp ("check engine light") came on the dash. The traction control (tcs) indicator also came on. I turned the car off, waited a few seconds, then started it again, hoping that would clear any faults. The indicators were still lit and when I went to put the vehicle in drive the drive "d" indicator was flashing green (it's normally solid green). I drove it a short distance to a nearby parking lot where I called a tow truck to come tow the vehicle to my local Honda dealership. Upon driving it to the parking lot I noticed that it wouldn't shift out of first gear. Top speed I got was about 40 mph. Also the engine was revving slightly. I then knew that the problem was more serious and I feared for the worse. While waiting for the tow truck I checked the error codes that was causing the check engine light to come on. It came back with three codes having to do with the shift solenoid valve a and clutch pressure control solenoid valve a being stuck on. The dealer called me back the next day and explained that they replaced the shift and clutch pressure control solenoids, were going to give it a test drive to see if that corrected the fault, and would call me back afterwards. The next call I received was devastating. I was told that it didn't fix the issue and that I would need a new transmission! I was completely shocked. The car just hit the 50,000 mile mark! I have babied this car since I first bought it new. I don't drive it rough and I follow the maintenance schedule to a t. How could this possibly be?.
The contact owns a 2005 Honda Accord. While driving 65 mph, the acceleration dropped to 25 mph and would not shift into third gear. When the contact depressed the accelerator pedal, the vehicle would not exceed 25 mph, and then began making a grinding noise. The vehicle was towed to a mechanic and he replaced a solenoid, but it failed three times. The vehicle was finally repaired and the wire to the solenoid was replaced. The repair cost $856. The current mileage was 52,850 and failure mileage was 52,750.
