Consumer Description

I WAS TRAVELING AT 60 MPH ON US 30 WHEN MY HONDA ACCORD SUDDENLY JERKED AND SLIPPED INTO LOW GEAR. I WAS NEARLY REARENDED AND WAS DEFINITELY IN SHOCK. I CONTINUED HOMEWARD AND IT DID THE SAME THING 3 MORE TIMES. I HAD SLOWED MY SPEED TO 40 MPH BUT THE ENGINE SOUNDED LIKE I WAS GOING TOO FAST FOR THE GEAR I WAS IN SO SLOWED DOWN EVEN MORE....PUT MY FLASHERS ON AND CREPT HOME. SINCE IT IS AFTER HOURS I MUST WAIT UNTIL TOMORROW TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP. HOWEVER I HAVE FOUND THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH HONDA ACCORDS. *TR
