NHTSA Complaint #10836952 — 2004 HONDA ACCORD

WHILE DRIVING THE SPEED LIMIT TO TAKE MY CHILDREN TO SCHOOL THIS MORNING 02-18-2016, MY HONDA WAS IN THE LAST GEAR BUT SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFTED INTO A POWER GEAR CAUSING THE CAR TO JERK. MY CHILDREN AND I WERE ALMOST REAR ENDED BUT THE F-150 TRUCK BEHIND IS SWERVED TO KEEP FROM BITTING US. I WAS VERY AFRAID ALSO CAUSE THE SEAT BELT AROUND MY CHILDREN TIGHTENED TO THE POINT WHERE MY BABY BOY STARTED CRYING CAUSE IT WAS LIKE IT CHOKED HIM. AFTER DROPPING THEM OFF, I GOT TO THE STOP LIGHT WHICH IS ON A HILL AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. PUT IN PARK AND CUT OFF AND CAR THEN WENT INTO GEAR BUT DID NOT CHANGE FEARS TO WHERE IT REVED UP THE RPMS. CRUISED DOWN HILL TO MY HOME AND DECIDED TO BACK UP AND THE CAR WOULD IT EVEN BACK UP. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT CAN BE DONE CAUSE THERE SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH HONDA AND ALL THE CAN TELL ME IS THAT THERE IS NO RECALL I. MY CAR EXCEPT FOR THE POWER STEERING. I DID RESEARCH AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT SIMILAR PROBLEMS IF NOT THE SAME.
