Consumer Description

THIS IS MY 2002 HONDA ACCORD 2ND TRANSMISSION TORQUE CONVERTER TO FAIL. I WAS ON THE TURNPIKE GOING 60 MPH WHEN MY SPEED STARTED TO DROP TO 0 RAPIDLY. THE LARGE TRUCKS BEHIND ME WAS ABLE TO GO AROUND ME IN JUST THE NICK OF TIME. I THANK GOD WE WERE NOT KILLED OR ANYONE ELSE HURT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE FOUND THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION FROM 1999 TO 2002 WITH HONDA ACCORDS. WHEN THE TORQUE CONVERTER GOES OUT THE CAR DOES NOT KNOW TO GO FASTER. THE SPEED JUST DROPS WITHOUT ANY CONTROL. THE ENGINE IS WORKING HARD TO MAKE THE CAR GO FORWARD. THE TORQUE CONVERTER GOES OUT WITHOUT ANY TYPE OF WARNING. I HAD A NEW TRANSMISSION PUT IN AT 71,000 MILES IT'S 146,000 LATER AND THE SAME PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED TO MY CAR. I WOULD HATE TO SEE ANYONE GET SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED WITH THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM. I JUST HAD MY TRANSMISSION REBUILT BECAUSE AMERICAN HONDA IS NOT MAKING NEW TRANSMISSION FOR CARS BUILT FROM 1999 TO 2002. *TR
