2003 HONDA ACCORD WITH TRANSMISSION RECALL PERFORMED ON SECOND BAND LUBRICATION PROBLEM RECALLED BY SELLING DEALER@ APROX12,000 MILES AT MY REQUEST WAS NOTED THAT IF TRANSMISSION HAD EARLY FAILURE THAT HO MO CO WOULD NEED TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRS INCURRED AND ALL EXPENSES .THEN AT 78,658 MILES TRANSMISSION BEGAN HARSH SHIFT FROM FIRST TO SECOND RATIO ,ALSO AUDIBLE TURBINE NOISE NOTED . AFTER READING MULTIPLES OF SAME ISSUES BLOGS FROM VEHICLE OWNERS THAT CRASHED OR BARELY AVOIDED BEING IN A CRASH DUE TO INFERIOR TRANSMISSION DESIGNS AND INTERNAL TRANS-LUBRICATION PROBLEMS EVEN AFTER SAID RECALL WAS PERFORMED BY DEALERSHIP IN N.C. WE BELIEVE THAT OUR 2003 ACCORD IS NO LONGER SAFE TO DRIVE / TRANSPORT PASSENGERS AS OF THIS DAY OF 07/26 /2010 AND REQUEST THAT A COMPLETE STUDY WHICH CONSIST OF ALL THE AFFECTED VEHICLES BE REPAIRED BY HO MO CO. AT THEIR EXPENSE FOR PARTS ,LABOR, FOR ALL PARTIES IN QUESTION AND ALL PERSONS THAT HAVE FILED CLAIM WITH LOCAL DEALERSHIPS AND ALSO WITH ALL PERSONS SO MENTIONED ABOVE THAT HAVE CONTACTED HO MO CO.

2002 HONDA ACCORD STARTED HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AROUND 98K MILES. TRANSMISSION WOULD JERK AND SLIP AND THEN STAY STUCK IN FIRST GEAR. EVENTUALLY THE TCS LIGHTS WOULD COME ON AND LIGHT UP THE PRND321 INDICATING AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. WOULD HAVE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD IN BUSY TRAFFIC AND SHUT DOWN THE CAR AND THEN RESTART IT TO CLEAR THE ELECTRICAL ISSUE. EVENTUALLY WOULD GET THE CAR TO SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR AND THEN COULD CONTINUE ON DRIVING. AFTER READING HUNDREDS OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS ONLINE, I CONTACTED HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE WHO THEN DIRECTED ME TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER CHARGED ME $115 TO HOOK MY CAR UP TO THE COMPUTER TO TELL ME I HAD A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM AND IT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED WITH AN ESTIMATE OF $4500. THE DEALER CALLED THE REGIONAL CASE MANAGER AT HONDA TO REQUEST A GOODWILL REPAIR ASSISTANCE AND THEY WERE TURNED DOWN. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT HONDA WAS NOT OBLIGATED TO DO ANYTHING SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. I REFERRED TO THE HUNDREDS OF EXACT SAME COMPLAINTS AND THE SAFETY ISSUES INVOLVED WITH A CAR NOT BEING ABLE TO DRIVE NORMALLY IN TRAFFIC. I AM NOW RESEARCHING THE COST TO REPAIR THE TRANSMISSION (OUTSIDE OF HONDA) AS OPPOSED TO THE $4500 CHARGE THEY WANTED TO REPLACE THE FAULTY TRANSMISSION. *TR
2003 HONDA ACCORD V6 TRANSMISSION FAILURE. CAR REV'S BUT DOESN'T ENGAGE, ESPECIALLY IN OVERDRIVE/3RD/4TH/5TH GEARS. THE ISSUE CAME ON PRETTY SUDDENLY.

I BOUGHT THIS BRAND NEW CAR IN 2005 AND GOOD MAINTENANCE ON IT. FOR ABOUT A MONTH, MY CAR HAD BEEN ACTING FUNNY WHEN I CAME TO A STOP, PERIODICALLY. MAYBE ONCE A WEEK OR SO. BY ACTING FUNNY, I MEAN IT DID NOT SEEM TO DOWNSHIFT IMMEDIATELY WHEN I CAME TO A STOP, SOMETIMES ACTING LIKE SOMEONE BUMPED THE CAR FROM BEHIND BARELY. LAST SATURDAY, AROUND 9 PM RIGHT AT THE STOP SIGN, THE TRANSMISSION LOCKED UP AND I COULD NOT REVERSE OR DOWNSHIFTED. I HAD TO PULL THE CAR TO THE ROAD SIDE. IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED IT NEXT MORNING THAT WAS SUNDAY AND I HAD TO PAY $181 FOR TOWING. MONDAY, THE DEALER SHIP SERVICE CALLED ME AND SAID TRANSMISSION FAILURE AND I HAVE TO PAY $4200 TO REPLACE IT. I TOLD THEM HOW CAN I BOUGHT THE BRAND NEW CAR AND IT WAS ONLY 67K MILES, THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE AND I HAVE TO PAY $4200.....AFTER THAT THEY DID CONTACT TO HONDA'S CORPORATE AND TOLD ME THAT I HAVE TO PAY $750 FOR MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY DEDUCTIBLE AND HONDA WILL PAY THE REST. I HAVE NO CHOICE SO I LET THEM FIXED MY CAR. BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SAY IS THAT WHY THE CAR'S TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 67K MILES SO WHO WILL BUY THE NEW HONDA WITH THE PROBLEM LIKE THIS. IT COST ME A NIGHTMARE TO THINK ABOUT THAT NIGHT AND I THINK THE HONDA'S CORPORATE SHOULD RESPONSIBLE THIS PROBLEM AND I DON'T HAVE TO PAY $750 PLUG $181 TOWED CAR ONLY 67K MILES DRIVING. OTHERWISE, I AM KEEP THINKING THAT IT COULD HAVE ACCIDENT WHEN THE CAR STOPPED AT THAT NIGHT OR MY CAR WAS DIED ON THE TRIP AROUND 100 MILES AWAY FROM HOME. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION ON MY '03 ACCORD V6 (97K MILES) STARTED TO FAIL WHEN DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON 7/22/2010. I COULDN'T REVERSE AND ON A BUSY ROAD I COULDN'T EXCEED A SPEED LIMIT OVER 35-40 MPH. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC THAT EVENING, WHO SAID THE PROBLEM WAS DUE TO THE FAILURE OF THE PRESSURE SENSOR SOLENOID A. I HAD TO WAIT 3 HOURS FOR THE NEW PART TO BE DELIVERED, BUT WHEN MY MECHANIC REPLACED THE PART, THE PROBLEM STILL PRECEDED. SO, I WENT BACK TO MY MECHANIC, WHO FINALLY FOUND OUT THE PROBLEM WAS DUE TO MY TRANSMISSION. CURRENTLY MY FAMILY OF 5 HAS ONLY ONE CAR AND ARE BEING FORCED TO PAY BOTH FOR A RENT CAR AND A NEW TRANSMISSION. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ALONG IN MAJOR TRAFFIC ON A BUSY THOROUGHFARE AND SUDDENLY THE ENGINE LOST ACCELERATION, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND THE D (RIVE) LIGHT STARTED BLINKING APPARENTLY SIGNIFYING A MAJOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. THE CAR IMMEDIATELY LOST SPEED DOWN TO 10 MILES AN HOUR AND I HAD TO NAVIGATE OUT OF BUSY TRAFFIC VIA A LEFT HAND TURN TO A SAFE RESTING SPOT NOT KNOWING WHETHER I WOULD MAKE IT THROUGH THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I HAD 3 PASSENGERS IN THE CAR. THE CAR WAS ULTIMATELY TOWED TO THE DEALER. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO FIRST GEAR (USUALLY THE FIRST TWO MILES OF THE DAY) AND AFTER DRIVING A FEW MILES, THE FAILURE BEGAN TO CORRECT ITSELF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT ASSIST WITH REPAIR COST SINCE THE WARRANTY WAS NO LONGER VALID. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 49,934. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,239.
HONDA IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2005-2010 ACCORD, 2007-2010 CR-V, AND 2005-2008 ELEMENT PASSENGER CARS MANUFACTURED FROM JULY 1, 2004, THROUGH SEPTEMBER 3, 2010. THE OUTER RACE OF THE SECONDARY SHAFT BEARING MAY BE BROKEN DURING CERTAIN DRIVING STYLES. A BROKEN OUTER RACE MAY CAUSE ABNORMAL NOISE, THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT TO TURN ON, AND ALLOW CONTACT BETWEEN THE TRANSMISSION IDLE GEAR AND AN ELECTRONIC SENSOR HOUSING WITHIN THE TRANSMISSION.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS COULD RESULT IN A SHORT CIRCUIT CAUSING THE ENGINE TO STALL. ADDITIONALLY, BROKEN PIECES OF THE OUTER RACE OR BALL BEARING FROM THE SECONDARY SHAFT MAY BECOME LODGED IN THE PARKING PAWL RESULTING IN THE VEHICLE ROLLING AFTER THE DRIVER HAS PLACED THE GEAR SELECTOR IN THE PARK POSITION. ENGINE STALL AND UNEXPECTED VEHICLE MOVEMENT INCREASES THE RISK OF A CRASH OR PERSONAL INJURY TO PERSONS WITHIN THE PATH OF A ROLLING VEHICLE.
Remedy: HONDA WILL NOTIFY OWNERS AND DEALERS WILL UPDATE THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE SOFTWARE FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON AUGUST 27, 2011. OWNERS MAY CONTACT HONDA AUTOMOBILE CUSTOMER SERVICE AT 1-800-999-1009.
ON SOME MINI VANS, SPORT UTILITY AND PASSENGER VEHICLES, CERTAIN OPERATING CONDITIONS CAN RESULT IN HEAT BUILD-UP BETWEEN THE COUNTERSHAFT AND SECONDARY SHAFT SECOND GEARS IN THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, EVENTUALLY LEADING TO GEAR TOOTH CHIPPING OR GEAR BREAKAGE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: GEAR FAILURE COULD RESULT IN TRANSMISSION LOCKUP, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.
Remedy: ON VEHICLES WITH 15,000 MILES OR LESS, THE DEALER WILL UPDATE THE TRANSMISSION WITH A SIMPLE REVISION TO THE OIL COOLER RETURN LINE TO INCREASE LUBRICATION TO THE SECOND GEAR. ON VEHICLES WITH MORE THAN 15,000 MILES, THE DEALER WILL INSPECT THE TRANSMISSION TO IDENTIFY GEARS THAT HAVE ALREADY EXPERIENCED DISCOLORATION DUE TO OVERHEATING. IF DISCOLORATION EXISTS, THE TRANSMISSION WILL BE REPLACED IF DISCOLORATION IS NOT PRESENT, THE DEALER WILL PERFORM THE REVISION TO THE OIL COOLER RETURN LINE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON APRIL 21, 2004, FOR PILOT, ODYSSEY, AND MDX OWNERS. OWNERS OF THE ACCORD VEHICLES WILL START RECEIVING LETTERS ON JUNE 28, 2004, AND ON JUNE 29, 2004, FOR OWNERS OF THE TL AND CL VEHICLES. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT HONDA AT 1-800-999-1009 OR ACURA AT 1-800-382-2238.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES (HONDA ACCORD SEDANS MANUFACTURED FROM SEPTEMBER 18, 1997 TO JANUARY 10, 1998; COUPES MANUFACTURED DECEMBER 11, DECEMBER 15, 1997, AND JANUARY 5, 1998; ACURA 2.3CL MANUFACTURED OCTOBER 22, 1997 THROUGH JANUARY 7, 1998). DURING MANUFACTURING, THE CASTING DIE CAUSED AN IRREGULARITY IN THE RIGHT-SIDE TRANSMISSION COVER. THIS IRREGULARITY CAN LIMIT THE MOVEMENT OF THE PARKING PAWL ACTUATION LEVEL AND PREVENT ADEQUATE ENGAGEMENT OF THE PARKING GEAR PAWL. THIS DOES NOT COMPLY WITH FMVS NO. 114, "THEFT PROTECTION."
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS CONDITION CAN CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO ROLL DOWN AN INCLINE WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS LOCKED IN "PARK," INCREASING THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A COLLAR ON THE TRANSMISSION PARKING PAWL TO ENSURE PROPER MOVEMENT OF THE ACTUATION LEVER.

SIX OF THE ODI COMPLAINTS ARE DUPLICATIVE OF THE MANUFACTURER COMPLAINTS, AS WELL AS FOUR OF THE CRASHES.THE NOTED INJURY OCCURRED WHEN A ROLLAWAY VEHICLE THAT HAD BEEN INADVERTENTLY PARKED IN NEUTRAL STRUCK THE EXITING OPERATOR.THE WARRANTY CLAIM COUNT SHOWN FOR OTHER REPRESENTS INCIDENTS WHERE HONDA'S ANALYSIS OF CLAIM DETAIL INDICATES THE INTERLOCK SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONED.THE INTERLOCK SYSTEM UTILIZES A LEVER TO BLOCK IGNITION KEY REMOVAL WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT IN PARK.HONDA HAS IDENTIFIED A WEAR CONDITION OF THE INTERLOCK LEVER THAT CAN CAUSE THE SYSTEM TO MALFUNCTION; WHEN WEAR OCCURS THE KEY CAN BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION WHILE THE SHIFTER IS IN A NON-PARK POSITION.HONDA DOCUMENTS INDICATE THAT A MANUFACTURING PROCESS MAY BE THE CAUSE OF INTERLOCK LEVER WEAR, AND THAT THIS PROCESS WAS REVISED IN JANUARY OF 2001.AN ENGINEERING ANALYSIS WILL BE OPENED TO FURTHER INVESTIGATE THIS CONCERN AND ITS SCOPE.
