Consumer Description

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN TRAFFIC, MY 2003 HONDA ACCORD V6 SUDDENLY DROPPED INTO FIRST GEAR SUDDENLY SLOWING MY TRAVEL FROM 55 MPH TO 35 MPH. I NARROWLY AVOIDED BEING HIT BY THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME BY TURNING OFF ONTO THE SHOULDER. THE ACCORD THEN DOWNSHIFTED AND CONTINUED TO JUMP SUDDENLY BETWEEN SECOND AND THIRD GEARS. THE ACCORD SHOWED NO DASHBOARD INDICATIONS THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG BUT CONTINUED TO DRIVE CHANGING GEARS SPORADICALLY. MY CAR WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL HONDA DEALER WHERE I WAS TOLD THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ENTIRELY BUT WOULD COST MORE THAN THE VEHICLE WAS WORTH. *KB
