Automatic Transmission Floor Shift Problems of Honda Accord

All warning lights on the dashboard suddenly lit up one day. The car is in excellent condition with all recommended maintenance up-to-date and no accidents. Honda dealer said the vsa modulator needed to be replaced and quoted $1756 + tax for the repair. Parts are unavailable, so repairs cannot be made. Dealer admits this is a very common problem with Honda vehicles and suggests I do not worry about it and just keep driving the vehicle - even though safety features are all disabled and the car may not be safe to operate. An online search reveals this is a very common and known issue that Honda USA has failed to address.

While driving on the NJ turnpike, automatic transmission unexpectedly slipped into neutral (slipped from d4 to neutral). Engine revved to red line before I pulled over. Just narrowly missed getting into an accident.

Re. Three major factory defects of 2002 Honda Accord v6 ex I currently own four Honda vehicles. Two of them are 2002 Honda Accord v6 ex models. Honda released 2002 Honda Accord ex without any thorough final inspections. The malfunctioning on my two Hondas was all factory defects deeply related to passenger safety. Honda does not care for human life sincerely as advertised. Honda does not deserve to be one of the best vehicles in the states. Since I purchased brand new 2002 Hondas, three serious mechanical and electrical defects have been found: seat belt sensor malfunctioning, timing related engine rpm surge, and powertrain breakdown. All three happened within 36,000 miles. First problem was a seat belt sensor problem. It was detected several months on both vehicles. And I asked a Honda mechanic to fix it. He told me that it would go away if you drove more. However, this problem was not gone. And couple of years later, I strongly ask Honda dealer to check and fix it. One was seat belt sensor problem and the other was the main seat belt controller. Second problem was a timing related engine surge. It happened on both Hondas within 30,000 miles on the same day. Rpm of both Honda went up and engine light was on. Even in braking, I could feel very strong force, which might break something. It was a sudden surge enough to cause a big accident. I want you to inspect this factory defect of all 2002 Honda Accord ex. Third problem happened in the first 2002 Honda. It was a powertrain problem. This brand new vehicle has surged several months after delivered to us. The mechanics in Honda dealerships said that it would go away if we drove more. The surge in first three years seemed moderate jolting when the second gear shifted to the first gear. But it got worse and worse. Finally, oil leaked. After fixing it, there are no more jolting or surging in gear transitions. This incident took place due to Honda’s negligence and irresponsibility.

Car key can be removed from the ignition without requiring the driver to place the transmission in park. I purchased the car used last month and am not accustomed to driving an automatic-transmission vehicle. On multiple occasions, I have left the car in drive and attempted to exit the vehicle after shutting off the motor, only to have the car begin rolling forward or backward. Condition is extremely dangerous. Curiously, this is the exact problem for which the NHTSA issued recall no. 05v025000. However, dealer and american Honda motor CO. Refuse to repair the car because its VIN number does not fall within the range that Honda believes to be inclusive of cars with this defect. Unbelievable. Car is a 2000 Honda Accord.

When the key was not in the ignition switch, the gear shifted from park. The dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem. The cause was not determined. Please provide more information. Since purchase the key could be removed in any position of the transmission lever.

If I put my vehicle in park, I have to fight with the shifter to get it out of park the next time I drive my car so I constantly keep it in neutral with the parking brake on. This has not caused any accidents and I have not had this problem fixed yet.

This complaint is similar to investigation number pe 03-014. My wife's 1998 Honda Accord (4 cylinder with automatic transmission) rolled away from the spot where she had parked it. Apparently she had left the vehicle in drive, but was able to remove the key from the ignition. When she returned from her errand, the car was no longer in the parking spot where she had left it. The car had rolled about 75 feet away, somehow managing to miss several other cars in the parking lot. Thankfully, she and our baby weren't halfway out the car door when the car rolled away. I verified that the key can be removed with the shifter in drive. I took the car to the Honda dealer here in colorado springs, and they indicated that there may be a mechanical problem in the ignition switch, but that it isn't covered by a warranty or recall. They also said it would be pretty expensive to fix since the electrical part of the ignition switch would need to be replaced as well as the mechanical part and the electrical part of the switch has an anti-theft feature that reads a computer chip in the key and that the system would have to be reprogrammed (including the remote controls for the doors. . . ). The car had about 60,000 miles on it when we first noticed the problem. We don't recall the exact date of when it happened, but it was during the summer of 2002 when we first noticed the problem. Thank you for your attention to this issue. Michael brady (719) 668-4068.
