NHTSA Complaint #10508472 — 2003 HONDA ACCORD

THE CAR SUDDENLY WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND CHANGE INTO THE 3RD GEAR WHILE DRIVING ON A BUSY ROAD. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AS TRANSMISSION FAILURE WITH THE 3RD GEAR. THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE THAT CAUSED HONDA TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR THEIR 2003 V6 ACCORD IN 2004. A MONTH PRIOR, ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS, I WAS DRIVING BETWEEN 40MPH-45MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND SLOWED DOWN, WHILE I SIMULTANEOUSLY ENGAGED THE ACCELERATOR. DURING BOTH INCIDENCES THE TCS AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS IMMEDIATELY CAME ON. AFTER PULLING OVER AND TURNING THE CAR OFF AND ON, THE LIGHTS DID NOT REMAIN ON. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS CAR WITH THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ALREADY NOTED FOR THE SAME ISSUE. HONDA NEEDS TO RECALL THIS DANGEROUS CAR. *TR
