NHTSA Complaint #10969952 — 2003 HONDA ACCORD

TRANSMISSION RECALL- SECOND OWNER OF 2003 HONDA ACCORD. BOUGHT IT AT 76,000 MILES, NOW AT 95,000 MILES. I'M NIGHT DRIVING AT 75MPH IN THE FAST LANE WITH A CONSTANT FLOW OF TRAFFIC INCLUDING BIG RIGS. NEAR THE END OF A CONSTRUCTION MEDIAN WHICH WAS PLACED PRECISELY ON THE LEFT LINE OF THE LANE, MY CAR JOLTS BACKWARDS AS IF I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES. FREAKED OUT, I THOUGHT MAYBE I RAN SOMETHING OVER. THEN 2 MINUTES LATER MY CAR JOLTS BACKWARDS AGAIN LIKE A FAST EMERGENCY BRAKE. I COULD FEEL MY BODY LOCK AGAINST MY SEATBELT. I SAFELY GET TO THE SHOULDER AND PANIC AS I AM AN HOUR FROM HOME AND I'M IN THE GHETTO. AS I PULL BACK ON TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY MY CAR IS AT A CONSTANT REV OF 5 AND MAKING A LOUD AWFUL MACHINE NOISE. I TRY TO PUT IT IN REVERSE AND IT DOESN'T REVERSE. I TURN IT OFF THEN TRY AGAIN, IT WORKS ONCE THEN DOESN'T DO ANYTHING. I GET TOWED TO HONDA, I SAW HOW THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD A JET KIT INSTALLED BECAUSE OF A 2004 RECALL WHICH STATES IF UNDER 15,000MI INSTALL A JET KIT, IF OVER, EXAMINE THE GEARS AND OR REPLACE TRANSMISSION. REPLACE. BECAUSE OF THIS RECALL WHICH WAS MORE SO A BANDAID OF THE PROBLEM, MY MINT CONDITION CAR IS ALL MONEY BAGS. I DO NOT THINK HONDA WILL DO ANOTHER RECALL OR PAY PARTIALLY FOR THE REPAIR. 95,000 MILES! I READ ON CAR COMPLAINTS HOW MANY PEOPLE HAD THESE SAME ISSUES WITH HONDA AMERICA AND HONDA DEALERSHIPS. THIS IS NOT RIGHT! IF YOU CREATE AND SELL A DANGEROUSLY FAULTY PRODUCT, FIX AND REPLACE THEM! NHTSA RECALL #: 04V176000 HONDA RECALL #: P38
