NHTSA Complaint #10417898 — 2002 HONDA ACCORD

I HAVE A 2002 HONDA ACCORD. WHEN TRAVELING IN HIGH ROAD AND AIR TEMPERATURE 95+ DEGREES MY TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO JERK WITH STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. I WAS ON A LONG BRIDGE AND UNABLE TO PULL OVER AND STOP. WHEN I WAS ABLE TO STOP I LET MY ENGINE COOL DOWN. EVER SINCE THAT INCIDENT MY TRANSMISSION HAS HAD A JERKING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR. I HAVE BEEN BACK TO MY DEALERSHIP AND SERVICE MGR STATED NOTHING IS WRONG WITH YOUR TRANSMISSION. THE SERVICE MGR. KNOWING THAT MY CAR YEAR AND MODEL WERE RECALLED. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO A TRANSMISSION COMPANY RECENTLY AND THEY ADVISED ME TO RETURN TO DEALERSHIP. MY TRANSMISSION IS ABOUT TO FAIL. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE WHEN DRIVING OR PULLING INTO TRAFFIC AS MY TRANSMISSION HAS NO POWER WITH THIS JERKING. I NEVER KNOW WHEN THE VEHICLE WILL COMPLETELY FAIL CAUSING A SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO MYSELF AND OTHERS. I HAVE HAD MY TRANSMISSION SERVICED ACCORDING TO THE GUIDELINES IN MY HONDA MANUAL. I HAVE SEARCHED ON THE INTERNET AND DISCOVERED THAT THE 2002 HONDA ACCORD HAS BEEN RECALLED. I, BEING THE ORIGINAL OWNER, HAVE NEVER BEEN NOTIFIED BY HONDA.THAT MY CAR NEEDS TO BE BROUGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. I NEED TO HAVE MY TRANSMISSION REPLACED AND HONDA WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THERE PRODUCT. *TR
