Consumer Description

WHILE I WERE DRIVING LOCALS, I NOTICE A SUDDEN DROP IN SPEED AND SPIKE IN RPM. WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE, ONLY RPM WOULD GO UP AND THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT TO HIGHER GEAR. THIS HAPPENED WITHOUT ANY WARNINGS. NO ENGINE LIGHT. NOTHING. IF THIS HAPPENED IN THE FREEWAY, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY SERIOUS SITUATION. I ALSO NOTICED NUMEROUS 2003 2004 HONDA ACCORD OWNERS TO HAVE SIMILAR PROBLEMS. THIS IS DEFINITELY MANUFACTURER'S FAULT. I HAD TO REBUILD THE TRANSMISSION WHICH CAME OUT TO BE $1820. THIS IS SERIOUS SITUATION. *TR
