HELLO THE VEHICLE STOPS AND STALLS WHILE DRIVING AND THERE IS A STRONG POSSIBILITY OF CRASHING THIS VEHICLE IF THIS IS NOT RESOLVED. THIS HAS OCCURRED TWICE AND IT'S VERY SCARY WHILE DRIVING. I SAW A SIMILAR RECALL FOR 2010 HONDAS THAT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. PLEASE HELP! *TR

#10531644 | July 24, 2013

MY TRANSMISSION STARTED SHOWING SIGNS OF SLIPPAGE THAT CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT TO BLINK AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO GO ON AFTER HEADING DOWN A SIDE STREET LEAVING MY OFFICE FOR THE DAY. THE NEXT MORNING I DROVE TO SERVICE CENTER AND THEY SAID TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED. THIS IS IN ALIGNMENT WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS (AND APPARENT LAW SUIT FROM 2006) INVOLVING 2001 ACCORDS. HONDA WILL NOT HONOR PARTICIPATING IN THE COST TO FIX THE TRANSMISSION DUE TO CONSTRAINTS OF LAWSUIT EVEN THOUGH THERE IS PRECEDENT OF GOODWILL REPAIR GESTURES THAT HAVE EXTENDED BEYOND THE SUIT (TO WHICH I DID NOT OPT IN TO PARTICIPATE). I HAVE NOT OPTED TO REPAIR THE CAR AS OF YET DUE TO THE COST. *TR

#10470293 | August 12, 2012

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW IN NOVEMBER 2001. I NOTICED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT CORRECTLY FROM 1ST TO 2ND AND READ SOME COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. THE PROBLEM HAS PERSISTED SINCE AND HAS GOTTEN WORSE AS IT GETS OLDER. PLEASE ADVISE OF ANY KIND OF RECOURSE I MAY HAVE SHOULD A TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT BE NECESSARY. I DID HAVE ONE SOLENOID ON THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED A YEAR OR SO AGO AS WELL AS A MOTOR MOUNT. *TR

#10353729 | September 3, 2010

MY CAR SUDDENLY STARTED TO STOP SHIFTING INTO GEAR. DRIVING, IT WOULD SLIP OUT OF GEAR AND I WOULD HAVE TO SHIFT IT INTO ANOTHER GEAR TO GET IT TO MOVE. THIS WOULD FAIL AND I WOULD SHIFT IT INTO ANOTHER GEAR. STARTING FROM RED LIGHT--10 TO 15 SECONDS WITH NO RESPONSE FROM CAR--VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION TO BE IN. TOOK TO HONDA DEALER--NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION--COST $3,400. RIDICULOUS. CAR HAS ONLY 58,000 MILES ON IT. *TR
