Honda Accord transmission problems

ON 9-17-09 I WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE, HONDA ACCORD, EX 6 CYLINDER VIOLENTLY LUNGED CAUSING ME TO BE THROWN FORWARD, HITTING THE STEERING WHEEL WITH MY UPPER BODY AND THEN BACKWARDS INTO MY SEAT. I EXPERIENCED NO LOSS OF POWER AND THE CAR CONTINUED TO MOVE. IF I HAD BEEN CLOSE TO ANY OTHER VEHICLE THIS WOULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE I BEGAN TO SWERVE INTO ANOTHER LANE. IF I HAD BEEN KNOCKED OUT I MAY BE EITHER DEAD OR IN A HOSPITAL, AND EVEN WORSE COULD HAVE HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE, INJURING SOMEONE ELSE. THE NEXT MORNING I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP TO EVALUATE THE PROBLEM, AND AFTER THERE INSPECTION RECOMMENDED I GO TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR FURTHER DIAGNOSIS/REPAIR. I WILL BE TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP ON MONDAY 9-10-09, THE SERVICE MANAGER IS ALREADY AWARE OF THE SITUATION AND WILL DETERMINE IF THE TRANSMISSION IS FAULTY. *TR

I HAVE A 2000 HONDA ACCORD SE - 4 CYLINDER. SOMETIMES WHEN I TAKE MY CAR FROM PARK TO REVERSE, I GET A THUD SOUND. I DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING ABOUT IT. AT AROUND 120,000 MILES, WHEN I PUT MY CAR IN REVERSE, THE CAR WON'T MOVE. WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS TO TRY TO GET THE CAR TO MOVE IN REVERSE, THE ENGINE REVS, BUT THE CAR STILL WON'T MOVE. I PUT THE CAR BACK TO PARK AND THEN PUT IN INTO REVERSE AND IT WILL BE FINE. IF I AM PARKED ON A SLANTED SURFACE WHERE THE FRONT END OF MY CAR IS SITTING LOWER THEN THE BACK AND I TRY TO PUT MY CAR INTO REVERSE, THE CAR ROLLS FORWARD, BUT NOT REVERSE. ONE TIME I HAD TO PUT MY CAR INTO PARK, THEN REVERSE, PARK THEN REVERSE ABOUT 20 TIMES TO GET OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE. BECAUSE MY CAR IS OVER THE WARRANTY PERIOD, MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. MY HUSBAND SEEMS TO THINK THAT MY TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AND SOMEDAY I AM GOING TO BE STUCK. WE DON'T HAVE THE $2000 TO $4000 TO HAVE A NEW TRANSMISSION PUT IN. I THOUGHT HONDAS WERE A LONG LASTING CAR? I BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW AND HOPED TO GET MY YEARS OUT OF IT BEFORE I HAD TO PUT MAJOR MONEY INTO IT. HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS PROBLEM? *TR

MY 2002 HONDA ACCORD LX IS AT 110K MILES. I AM HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. IT IS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. IT NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE NOR DID IT HAVE A MINOR PROBLEM LEADING TO IT. IT JUST ALL OF A SUDDEN THIS YEAR, 2009, STARTED TO JERK BETWEEN STOP AND GOES, SLIPS OUT OF GEAR AND DECELERATES, IT DROPS GEARS WHEN SLOWING TO A STOP. I AM AFRAID TO PULL OUT OF TRAFFIC WHEN I KNOW I HAVE ENOUGH TIME AND SPACE TO PULL OUT DUE TO MY CAR JERKING. AND ALSO AFRAID OF STOPPING AT RED LIGHTS AND STOP SIGNS KNOWING THAT MY CAR WILL JERK, SLIP, AND GO THEN DECELERATE. I HAVE REPLACED MY TIMING BELT, FAN BELT, WATER PUMP, TRANSMISSION FLUID FLUSHED AND REFILLED, ENGINE OIL, OIL PAN AND GASKET, SPARK PLUGS. I HAVE DONE ALL THE NECESSARY REPLACEMENTS FOR MY CAR AT 100K MILE MARK. AND I WAS TOLD IF YOU KEEP THE MAINTENANCE MY CAR WILL ALWAYS RUN LIKE NEW. AND IT HAD RUN LIKE NEW UNTIL THIS SUMMER WHEN MY CAR STARTED TO JERK, SLIP, SHIFT IN AND OUT OF GEAR, AND DECELERATE FOR NO REASON. I AM NOT VERY HAPPY AFTER ALL THE MONEY, TIME AND EFFORT I PUT IN THIS CAR AND ESPECIALLY FOR IT TO SUDDENLY NOT DRIVE CORRECTLY. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE 405 FREEWAY WITH MY WIFE AND THREE YOUNG CHILDREN AT 65MPH WHEN MY 2003 HONDA ACCORD VIOLENTLY DOWNSHIFTED AND REDUCED SPEED TO 25MPH AND THEN TO A DANGEROUS 10MPH WHICH CAUSED EVERYONE DRIVING AROUND ME TO HAVE TO SLAM ON THEIR BREAKS. THE CAR WOULD NOT REACCELERATE WHICH CAUSED ME TO HAVE TO VEER INTO THE LEFT SHOULDER JUST SECONDS BEFORE WE WERE REAR-ENDED BY A SEMI-TRUCK. ONCE ON THE SHOULDER THE CAR WOULD NOT GO IN REVERSE OR PAST FIRST GEAR (20MPH) CAUSING CHP TO STOP TRAFFIC SO WE COULD CROSS THE FREEWAY TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER AND WAIT FOR A TOW-TRUCK. *TR
