Consumer Description

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION JERKS WHEN ACCELERATING PAST 20MPH OR WHEN PUTTING IT IN REVERSE. AFTER SOME RESEARCH, I FOUND OUT THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2002 HONDA ACCORDS YET IT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE SINCE A LOT OF DRIVERS APPEAR TO BE HAVING THE SAME TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. *TR
