While in top gear the transmission would suddenly shift out of gear causing a jolt. Within 20 minutes of this happening for the first time the car would no longer shift into top gear but I was able to get home in lower gear. The car has been owned by my parents and myself since it's purchase, it has never been driven in a radical manner and it has been serviced at a Honda dealership following the extreme maintenance schedule. The transmission is to be changed and the pcm also. The car has 144000km. I have seen that in the us Honda is covering the transmission in these years for up to 160000km as a result of a class action suit. Honda canada unfortunately has no such coverage and the deal they are offering me is 2800$+ tax for the repairs instead of the 7000$ they claim it should be costing me. Independent transmission company's have given me prices of 2500$ and 2800$. It makes em feel that they give me an extreme price so that they can give me a "rebate" which works out to not being a deal at all. I'm very disappointed that Honda is not standing behind their product and that their product is no where near the quality that gave Honda the reputation it earned in the 90s.

The contact owns a 2002 Honda Accord. After starting the vehicle and shifting gears, the shift indicator illuminated and began flashing on the instrument panel. The driver was able to shift into first, second, and third gears; however, it would remain in second gear, which was the default gear. As a result, the contact was unable to drive over 40 mph. If the gears were shifted manually, the vehicle would operate normally. The vehicle was not diagnosed by a Honda dealer; however, an original Honda transmission control module was purchased and installed by an independent mechanic. The vehicle operated normally for approximately one month. The vehicle can only be driven at 30 mph, which could cause the transmission to fail. When attempting to drive forward after approaching a stop sign or traffic light, it took 25 seconds or more for the vehicle to accelerate. The manufacturer stated that there was a recall, but then later stated that there was only a service bulletin related to the tcm. The failure mileage was 155,000 and current mileage was approximately 162,000.

2005 Honda Accord. Consumer writes in regards to recall notice related to a defect in automatic transmission control module software the consumer stated he was involved in six accidents due to a recall, that should have been issued long ago.

Transmission/vcm constantly continues to shift. Car cannot locate correct drive ratio. Very prevalent when driving 60 mph on level grade and no pedal movement. However, the transmission and/or variable cylinder management constantly surging is noticeable at all speeds with no change in pedal force applied. Also, when accelerating from a stop slowly and a sudden demand to increase speed, the transmission fails to downshift when the pedal is pushed to the floor and restricts the engine rpms.

I purchased a new Honda Accord ex in 2001 at a Honda dealer in texas , now the check engine light and tcs light came on and stayed on. I checked the owner's manual and found out it could be that the gas cap might not have been tightened. So I have to wait until 3 driving trips to see if it wentoff. Thats waswhat manual suggested first. Then itwent off to Honda dealer to see if computer needed a new catalytic converter ,which I heard could likely be inaccurate diagnosis, and more likely oxygen sensor. Also another problem occurred, the srs light stayed on and did not go out. Srs light coming on, I have also had my check engine light and tcs indicator come on. It is a bit concerning that I have had so many issues with this particular Accord with so few miles on it. Seems like a huge safety issue that an air bag does not deploy with the srs light on. What is wrong with this car? did I buy a lemon? I will definitely not buy another Honda. Extremely disappointed in Honda's lack of concern for safety, which they tout so much about, and disrespect for consumer's concerns.

I have a 2004 Honda Accord lx with a four cylinder engine. Last year I reported a defect whereby the vehicle was attempting to accelerate while I was in the act of stopping. I had to use both feet on the brake pedal, put the transmission into neutral and kick the accelerator pedal to get the engine to come back to idle. When I put the transmission into neutral the engine rpm's went up to almost 6000. I had the vehicle checked by herb chambers Honda, in burlington, mass and they found nothing wrong. However, on Dec 8, 2005, I was making a left hand turn into a parking lot at a very low rate of speed and the vehicle did the very same thing! it took both feet on the brake pedal, put the transmission into neutral, the engine sped up to almost 6000 rpm's, kick the accelerator pedal and finally the engine dropped to idle. This concerns me greatly. I'm seventy years old and I recognized the problem, but my wife who is seventy-two and who doesn't use the car too often, may not recognize the problem, be able to think of the solution and handle the vehicle all at once. It could end up killing her or someone else! VIN number of vehicle 1hgcm56304a006527 thank you.

Pcm was giving off false error codes, dealer was the first to bring up problem after recalled transmission was installed. Dealer did not acknowledge that it was a dealer's problem. Pcm will create the check engine light to go off, and will appear at various times of operation. Has caused me to constantly go to dealer and various mechanic shops to get error codes erased. Car with check engine light will not pass smog test. Also will consume more fuel than it should. Cost to replace pcm is approximately $800.

Consumer states that while driving vehicle the automatic transmission will go into neutral without anyone touching the gear shift and without warning.

This is the 3rd brake failure (2 partial/1 complete) that we have had with this vehicle,all of which have been reported to the dealership(technicians, management and owner), american Honda, and NHTSA. On 4/22/02, odometer 498/traveling 25mph/dry pavement/smooth road, the abs and tcs warning indicator lights came on and remained on. I immediately pushed the brake pedal which had softened to a little less than half before engaging. Frightened, I pulled over using my emergency brake to safely stop the vehicle. After stopping, I placed the vehicle in park and pumped the brake several times in an attempt to get the brake pedal to re-engage properly. It did not and both warning light indicators remained on. Because I was 1 block from the house and there were no other vehicles on the road, I decided to coast home at 5mph using the emergency brake. At my house, I placed the vehicle in park, left emergency brake engaged and turned off the vehicle. I immediately called the dealership with a detailed description and a tow truck was dispatched. It was determined to be a disconnected left abs sensor. I do not believe this is accurate nor is it consistent with the braking (and electrical) issues that we have experienced and previous repair attempts made by the dealership. I refused to pick up the vehicle on the grounds of this safety defect and the dealerships inability to accurately diagnose it. The vehicle was taken back by the dealership and we were placed in another new Accord. I aggressively stated to peter heuy, his sales manager, service manager, and technician and american Honda, that this vehicle contains a major safety defect in its brake system that an engineer from american Honda needs to isolate before placing the vehicle back on the road. Anything less than that is gross negligence. The dealership indicated this would not be done and the vehicle would be used as a demo.

Customer lost control of vehicle, resulting in a crash while attempting to disengage cruise control with foot brake w on wet surface. Rear tires completely locked when customer tapped the foot brake to disengage speed control,causing vehicle to skid. Customer attempted to "stomp-and-steer" vehicle, (as is implied with abs), brakes became unresponsive and pedal travelled to the floor. Customer then applied full throttle to try to pull the vehicle out of the skid, which was unsuccessful due to the traction control overpowering customer's attempt to steer and accelerate out of the skid (the tcs automatically applies front brakes to limit wheel spin at speeds below 20 mph. Even though vehicle was travelling at 70, computer must have registered under 20 at that point). Vehicle violently spinned out of control off the highway down a 40 foot embankment.

Automatic transmission computer failed. Yh.
