The srs light has come on my 2002 v6 honda accord ex and based on dealerships that i have takenthe vehicle to claims that is it a seatbelt issue that is not covered... Other forums that i have been to that have people that have similar problems or airbags not deploying properly and was linked to the srs light.the srs system is for the airbag system but dealerships are only asking for money for getting the car diagnosed but stating that the seatbelt and airbag system are not covered by honda. Please help me with my situation. My wife and child ride in the vehicle daily.
I was traveling on a three lane road on the morning of 7-18-15. A vehicle in front of me in the middle lane suddenly slowed down. To avoid hitting that vehicle i swerved to the right lane and into the bike lane.i went up the curb with the passenger side of the vehicle and continued on, while braking, and hit a light pole just behind the curb. I had 'help' going up the curb as a farmer (who farms the parcel adjacent to the accident site) had built an illegal 40 ft 'ramp' up the concrete curb with asphalt to allow access for his farm equipment. The driver's side of the vehicle stayed on the road traveling along the curb (in the gutter). The driver's airbag did not deploy. Estimated speed was 50mph per the county sheriff. The vehicle has been inspected by our insurance company and is a total loss. Had to go to the hospital for ct scan of the head as i hit the windshield. Suffered from temporary amnesia and slurred speech. We went to the town officials and reported the 'ramp' and it was removed almost immediately. We need honda to inspect the vehicle (which was towed to our home) but after a week of leaving voice mails for the case manager we are still waiting a return call. The insurance company want to take the vehicle but we want it inspected to understand why the airbag did not deploy. Note: we received an airbag safety recall notice on 7-27-15 (after the accident) but i think this notice is for a different issue with the airbags (not a deployment issue).
I was driving on y way to worked at 40 west around 9:30 am on 03/14/2015 saturday morning, when one of the car start spinning ahead of me, so i merge to the left hand side to avoid but is too late he still got me...everything is on process tru other party insurance... My main concern is my car driverairbag it wasn't deployed just the passenger side does,and now i got a mail today that they have a recall for airbag on my 2002 honda civic, if u have any concern on this u may call me at [xxx].information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
The contact owns a 2002 honda accord. The contact received a recall notice for recall 10v041000 (air bags). When driving at approximately 30 mph, the vehicle rear ended another vehicle and the front driver air bag exploded. The contact was injured as a result and the vehicle was towed to an authorized dealership. The vehicle was totaled. The current and failure mileage was approximately 120,000.
Car was headed west in the left lane of a four lane highway. A big suv headed in the opposite direction was turning to the left. He didn't have time to go and stopped right in my lane. My car hit hers on the passenger side. When we crashed, both of my air bags exploded. I thought my car was on fire because smoke was coming from the bags. My right arm and hand swelled up so big and is still painful. I think there must be medal embedded in my arm. Blood was gushing from my arm and right knee. The inch gash in my right knee was on top of my total knee replacement. This had to be stitched up. I had contusions on my chest, arm and left knee. My ribs and sternum were bruised badly. My right ankle was fractured. My car was totaled. I was taken by ambulance to emergency and stayed until june 26, 2014. I was ordered to put no weight on my right leg and was transported by ambulance to a medical rehabilitation center. Before my release from there, i developed pneumonia and could not leave until july 14, 2014. I still have to have surgery on my left knee for torn meniscus. That surgery is scheduled for september 9, 2014. My back was fractured also; however, i have not scheduled that surgery as of yet.......updated 09-03-14updated 11/26/2014

Vehicle was hit on left front corner by headlight while making a left turn by a vehicle traveling about 40mph.upon impact, neither driver or passenger side airbag deployed.vehicle was totaled. One person was injured in accident.*scc
Srs light does not go off. Indicates that a fault exists in the air bag safety system. This is the second occurance. Within the first 800 miles of operation, the light did the same thing.the technician at honda of el paso in el paso, texas turned the light off and informed me that if it happened again, a part would have to be ordered. The vehicle now has approximately 17,000 miles and the fault has reoccured. The original manufacturer of the required part is no longer producing the part.the vehicle is now at jack diamonds honda in tyler, texas. The vehicle is equipped with handicap equipment for use by my wife. I consider the vehicle unsafe to drive with a nonoperational air bag system.
I am trying to find out if we have takata airbags that are subject to the recall. My husband has contacted and gone to our local dealer to find out what airbags we have, and they just keep telling him that they are okay. I have tried to enter the vin number through the auto airbag settlement.com website powered by nhtsa, and it will not go through.
Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)honda has recalled many 2002 accords for airbag problems. I have a 2002 accord. About six months ago, the air bag light came on and has remained on since then. Honda has told me my vehicle, [xxx]is not part of the airbag recall. I believe it should be part of the recall.
Takata recall - the srs light is on in my vehicle - the dealer wants $109 to tell me what the light means and i don't have $109.
Hi on 3/3/2015 i took my honda in to breakaway honda to do a recall on the airbags also had a few other things repaired. Mostly concerned about the airbags. Had to return 5 days later for a part .i asked the service dept representative why my srs light was still on, he said something was still wrong with my airbags and if i had a wreck i still would not have airbag. Buti could pay 89.95 to have it hooked up to a machine and if it was the seat belt i would not have to pay but if it was something else i would. Didn't make sense to me, should i pay again to have airbags repaired or is that something honda should take care of.something else is they never gave me a call on the service they had done.
Takata recall-my srs light is on for the last year or so.i called the local honda dealership and they told me it would cost $300 up front to have this checked out.the local garage where i have my car inspected said this was part of the airbag recall but honda won't check it without $300 up front and i just can't afford it.maybe i will finally get it fixed under this class action lawsuit.i would like to have everything on my car working properly.
Srs on for no reasons.
Srs light stays on ,honda service told me air bag failure do to defective buckle switch which is not covered under warranty.(lifetime warranty on seat belts does not apply to buckle). 2002 honda accord.
I am the owner of a honda accord 2002 ([xxx]).on august 30, 2002 my car was hit by another car at the left front end of my car.in this accident my cars both air bags were deployed. The driver of my car [xxx]was taken to the osf emergency health center in bloomington for the treatment. A second-degree burn on my wife's right hand was diagnosed. For the past five weeks i have tried hard to find out the cause of the second degree burn in the absence of any electrical short circuit or flame. I have contacted honda co. Twice over the phone but both times they neither answer my question nor was i allowed to speak to any technical person from the honda company. Also, i have written two letters to them but no response. I am speculating that the second degree burn is caused by some chemicals which came out of the defective air bag. Is there anyway to get honda's attention at this problem?mrinformation redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Srs red light continues to go on.i've gotten varying answers about what is wrong with it and will have to spend $1,000 to fix it and take the risk that i went with the correct diagnosis.i'm told the air bags will not deploy in an accident now.this seems to be a very common problem with honda vehicles.
I moved from arizona to florida. I had the airbag recall replacement. Three days ago i saw the srs (safety restraint system) light come on and stay on in my car. Because the recall is going into bankruptcy i am very concerned about the restraint system. Nothing has happened to the car. It just turned on. I contacted honda and they say they are not going to address this because i had the recall work done. I can't image why they won't assist with the diagnosis and to determine the cause. I was under the impression that the seatbelt and airbags should last the life of the vehicle. I have never in any accidents and i have maintained the car, it is in great condition.
Takata recall. After replacing airbag the srs light came on and stays on. Google search shows that this means they are not working.
Dealer said my air bag was spice together and can'tbe replace because of the wire spice. The honda send the recall air bag is under the recall. The honda dealer replace the airbag inflator already, i paid for the inflator at the dealer. Would the spice wire disqualify my car from replacement of the airbag?
Takada inflators.my 2002 honda accord has had 2 recalls on the driver side inflator or airbag.the srs light is on all of the time. I explained that the light used to come on and go off when it was very humid or had rained.after several months of that, the light came on and never went off.i asked the dealer if they would contact honda and ask if they could replace both airbags or inflators on the driver and passenger side.they said they wouldn't fix it since it hadn't been a part of the recall.they replaced the driver side inflator/bag and sent me on my way with the srs light still on.recently i had another recall for the driver side inflator.once again i requested that they contact honda to get authorization to fix the passenger side since the srs light is still on.once again i was told they wouldn't do so as it isn't part of the recall.given the history of the injuries and deaths related to the srs/inflators, why wouldn't they investigate to see what the problem was?i can't afford to do so myself.then the dealership told me he'd note in the history that i "refused to fix it".i went ahead and scheduled a time to take it in for the recall for the driver side inflator.after i got off the phone, it really made me mad the way the dealer implied that this was my problem and note the history.so, i called the honda recall number back and asked them to note on the history of my car that i informed honda and the dealership that there was an issue with the srs light and they chose to not even look into the problem.i'm writing this to put honda on notice that i have notified them of the srs problem and requested that they fix it under the recall and was told "no" twice!a quick search on the internet makes it obvious that this is a known problem that has been brought to honda's attention and they chose to ignore it.
2002 honda accord. Consumer writes in regards to airbag and safety campaign *tgwthe consumer stated the air bag light illuminated. The dealer cleared the code, but the next day, the light illuminated again. The dealer informed the consumer the transmission was leaking and one of the drive belts were not performing correctly.
Srs light came on at about 35,000 miles meaning there was a problem with the seat belt restraint system or airbags.car is well kept and in new condition.repairs for this are very expensive.there should be a recall because of numerous complaints about srs.
Srs light has been on for months. We get recall notices but the vin # is not included in the recalls. The light is constantly on when driving. Brakes have been replaced. But, the brake light has recently come on when driving.

I own a 2002 honda accord and the "srs" light remains on constantly. I googled this issue and apparently hundreds of honda accord owners have the same issue. The srs apparently deals with theseatbelt restraint system which is an apparent defect with honda.
It shows a three letter srs i don't remember i went to mymerchanichesaid something is wrong with the airbag it is showing about a month or more red light can you call me at [xxx] for a free recall i received a letter but i don't remember the address where i want for free couple of years ago please let me know the address for a free recall for them to fix my airbag.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

While drivingmy husband noticed that the srs lightturned on.we pulled over and restarted the car but thelight stayed on.not knowing what the srs lightindicated i was concerned. So i looked it up on the owners manual the consumer was informed that the cause was due to a tissue box being stuffed under the seat, which had cut the wiring system to the air bag. The manual advised that if the light was on there may be something wrong with the srs system (air bag) and to have a honda dealer check it out.i took it into pasadena honda and explained the problem.the service manager said they would take a look at it and that the car wasstill under warranty. The service advisor told me that i hadstuff under my seat and that i jammed a tissue box under the drivers seat that cut the wiring system to the airbags in my car.i asked him, "to show me the stuff"!. We walked over to the car and allwe found was a tissue box. My entire air bag safety system was compromised by a common tissue box.i added that the manufacturer should have had the air bag a system, encased so it does not accidentally become disconnected or cut.i asked, does this mean i don't haveairbags now. His answer was that the whole system was down because of the detached wiring.i was so upset and concerned about the safety system failure that when i returned home i immediately called honda corp.to express my concern.a honda customer service operator noted my concernand said an adjuster will call in 3-5 days. On wednesday august 11, 2004 a mr. Anthony hill, who represented himself to be the western regional supervisor, called to say that it was not covered under the warranty. I tried to explain what happened but he said, i just want to make this short and get this over with.i wouldsuggest that honda make every effort to secure and/or encase the wiring for the air bag safety system, so that the consumers cannot accidentally disconnect and/or cut their safety system. *sc

2002 honda accord v6 coupe -- srs system light on the dash is on. This indicates that srs system, including safety devices (seat belts and airbags) may not be working correctly. The problem was at first intermittent. I read that there was recall in regards to the seat belts and that was causing the problem. I took the car in to the honda dealer for servicing. He did not acknowledge the safety recall and said they would troubleshoot it and i have to pay for it.the light is solid on for past couple of years.

Smells. ?it could be this problem with sensor & check engine light as according to the japanese automaker ?honda said the sensor wire could break and cause the air bag warning light to be illuminated and prevent the sensor from working properly. When the sensor fails, the air bag system automatically moves to full inflation pressure, which could increase the risk of injury for smaller drivers in a frontal crash?. ?finally transmission gone and my car now taking a long rest in someone's parking lot.

Srs indicator keeps coming on. Had it repaired twice and it keeps coming back on. I do not remember the dates of repair. Not sure if the airbags will work or if they are defective in some way, since i could not afford to keep taking the car back in.
I was in a bad car accident was on saturday, 11/02/2019, where both cars were totaled.i was a stoplight on a city street (glenwood dr) waiting to turn left.as i proceed to turn left on a green arrow (going approx 5 mile/hr) i was hit on the passenger side by a vehicle traveling (per the other driver's statement) approximately 37-40 mile/hr at the time of impact.a large part of the impact was absorbed by the left front side of the vehicle and then travel to the passenger door. My airbags had been recalled this summer an taken to honda of conyers where they were replaced. Unfortunately, no airbags deployed on impact. I was the driver and my 14-year old niece was in the passenger seat.my niece didn't sustain any injuries; however, i have some spinal injury and was seen by the emory orthopedic and spine center where they then assigned a treatment program where i am to receive physical therapy 2 x per week for 4 weeks ( therapeutic exercise, manual therapy, stretching, paraspinal strengthening, modalities prn,and c-traction.)i've attached 3 photos of my vehicle.
My 'srs" dashboard light came on for no reason on my 2002 honda accord lx.the light stays on.per a honda web forum,the problem is either the air bags will not deploy or a defective air bag sensor.there are many complaints about this. This is a safety factor. I think there should be a recall on this.
Srs warning light came on while parked.took vehicle to dealership, where diagnostic service showed the driver's side seat belt detection mechanism was failing to function properly.this safety system is connected to the airbags, but is not covered under warranty (per american honda and local dealer).this malfunction is a known problem, but honda will not repair/replace without charging customer, thereby putting lives and safety at risk in the name of profit.
I was informed over a year ago my current auto received an air bag "fix" to the air bag activator during a normal service call and has no longer any air bag recalls. My car year and model is listed into the current takata air bag replacement recalls, but honda refuses to tell me if my car has this air bag. The activator fix is not what the takata air bag issue is about! it's the metal fragments hitting the driver.i have no confidence in what honda has told me and prefer to have my auto air bag be replaced, even though i am not in a high humidity zone, stated in the current takata recall. Philadelphia hits high humidity (>90%) every summer, so how/why will my car it know if it is in florida or philly?please move forward to have all of the models, years, in the takata mess replaced, period!regards, [xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Was going home after a interview and got t-boned. Both airbags deployed and the driver side airbag with excessive force. Had to go to the emergency room because my arm had a huge knot on it and looked broke. Doctor said it wasn't broke but was bruised to the bone. Had to take theraphy for several months.
Consumer's vehicle was involved in a collision, it t-boned another vehicle. Upon impact, air bags did not deploy.consumer called honda, and was told that the air bags operated properly, and there was no defect. Consumerdidnot see why the air bag did not deploy because he was traveling about 40 mph.consumer was also told by a honda representative that the sensors were in the fender,and that was whyair bagsdid not deploy.consumer stated that this made no sense.
The srs airbag light is on my 2002 honda accord ex. My best friend has the same car and his is on also after 75k. Apparently this problem is in just every accord 98-02 and its not covered under the warranty because it is an electrical problem. It can cost from 400 to 1000 dollars to fix. This is crazy! they should recall these vehicles because clearly....if everyone i know with an accord has the same problem then its hondas problem not ours.

The srs light on the dashboard on my 2002 honda accord coupe v6 has been on for a few years now, and it never goes off.a friend of mine, who used to work for honda as a mechanic, told me when that light comes on the airbag is disengaged, so if i get in an accident the airbags will not deploy.
Takata recall
Takata recall.our honda accord is just over 15 years old and apparently is not subject to the general air bag recall as it is not listed on the recall list.why is it not covered?the information we have received says that high temperatures (we live in tucson, az) and age are indicators of possible failure.

I was traveling home in the far north bound lane going 40 mph and was hit head on by a dodge durangotraveling south bound in the far right lane. (2 lanes each way with a center.) i was driving and the airbag exploded as the durango cut off another car and hit head onto me. The airbag explosion produced a burning smell which i thought the car was on fire but it was the airbag explosion. My face was very red and swollen and just felt on fire from the explosion which covered my face. I had a scratch in my left eye and needed a rinse and a small laceration above my eye. My right hand was swollen immediately and was throbbing from the grip of the wheel and the airbag explosion. My right pinky was totally numb for quite a while with radiating pain up the right arm. The right had still has issues with grasping things and dropping them. I had and still have headaches from the jolt and neck injury especially in the frontal area. I noticed my speech became slurred and thoughts took longer to process when speaking to people. On the job this created difficulty.

Re. Three major factory defects of 2002 honda accord v6 exi currently own four honda vehicles. Two of them are 2002 honda accord v6 ex models. Honda released 2002 honda accord ex without any thorough final inspections. The malfunctioning on my two hondas was all factory defects deeply related to passenger safety. Honda does not care for human life sincerely as advertised. Honda does not deserve to be one of the best vehicles in the states.since i purchased brand new 2002 hondas, three serious mechanical and electrical defects have been found: seat belt sensor malfunctioning, timing related engine rpm surge, and powertrain breakdown. All three happened within 36,000 miles. First problem was a seat belt sensor problem. It was detected several months on both vehicles. And i asked a honda mechanic to fix it. He told me that it would go away if you drove more. However, this problem was not gone. And couple of years later, i strongly ask honda dealer to check and fix it. One was seat belt sensor problem and the other was the main seat belt controller. Second problem was a timing related engine surge. It happened on both hondas within 30,000 miles on the same day. Rpm of both honda went up and engine light was on. Even in braking, i could feel very strong force, which might break something. It was a sudden surge enough to cause a big accident. I want you to inspect this factory defect of all 2002 honda accord ex.third problem happened in the first 2002 honda. It was a powertrain problem. This brand new vehicle has surged several months after delivered to us. The mechanics in honda dealerships said that it would go away if we drove more. The surge in first three years seemed moderate jolting when the second gear shifted to the first gear. But it got worse and worse. Finally, oil leaked. After fixing it, there are no more jolting or surging in gear transitions. This incident took place due to honda's negligence and irresponsibility.
When driving along the highway the traction control light pops on along with the side air bag light. My transmission seems to be going out. When i'm at a complete stop and attempt to proceed through a green light the car seems to not want to get gas. I'm not sure what the problem is. Can someone please help me?
I was driving down montgomery street in savannah georgia going north in the right hand lane of a 4 lane road. The car in the next lane going the same direction as me was turning left. A car coming in the opposite direction tried to turn left at the same time as the car next to me, not being able to see me coming. I was hit on my drivers side door/front of the car going 40mph. I do not yet have an estimate on the damages of the car but it is most likely totaled. Both cars had to be towed. My car was a 2002 honda accord. The passenger airbag deployed and exploded, leaving my chest stinging. My air bag did not deploy at all.

The air bags in the consumer's 2002 honda accord did not deploy during a severe auto accident.
The air bags on my 2002 honda accord were recalled 6 months ago because they apparently could explode and kill passengers with shrapnel if they go off in an accident. I have been waiting months for honda to replace with air bags with no resolution in sight. Culver city honda in los angeles, ca keeps telling me they aren't able to get the new parts shipped in because of the port strike in los angeles. There are other ways to mail things, and i can't believe they aren't trying harder to get the part for their customers when they've already had 6 months. 5 people have already died from this defect and they have no urgency to fix this at all. I don't want my wife driving the car with such a dangerous faulty part, but it's the only car we own. Who makes sure these companies actually follows through on the recall replacement? we need some help please.

Air bag deployment for no reason.
The srs light on my dash board is on and won't go off. After some research i understand that this is a common problem in honda accords. The srs light indicates that there is a problem with the seat belt or airbags. As far as i'm concerned both are very necessary in providing to all occupants in the vehicle.
While visiting a dealer to catch up on recalls, its computer and website both show the 2001-2002 accord driver airbag recall from 2011 as fixed; since the last time i was at a (original, different) dealer was 5/10 this is impossible.i am concerned that after a certain period customers who did not attend to the recall are automatically marked as fixed. Fwiw i had an accident in 2007 and the passenger airbag deployed but the driver's didn't.
While driving at 35 mph vehicle was in a collision and was impacted on the driver. None of the air bags deployed.

The "srs" light has turned on in the instrument panel. Honda is trying to charge me $360 to diagnose the problem when it is obviously air bag/seat belt related. The light remains on during motion and while the engine is at idle. My vehicle is at 117,464 miles. My question is if honda has the right to charge me to diagnose something that is related to safety equipment.
Srs light stays on. Seat belts were replaced and warning light reset,but came on after a couple of miles. Now there is a recall on the air bag inflators, but the seat belt control module, which activates the inflators is defective, and not covered under any update or recall program. I understand that the air bags will not deploy in a crash if the srs light is on. This is a fairly common problem and in my opinion should be covered under a federally mandatedsafety recall with no charge to the consumer.

While operating my 2002 honda accord,, my passenger leaned against the passenger door. The srs light came on and remained on until the dealer was able to look at the car.it was determined that the occupant position detection system had failed and had to be replaced. I was under the impression that the repair was to have been covered by the vehicle service contract i had purchased when i bought the car in 2001. Of course it was not covered.the repair was a safety related problem for which i had no control over nor did i do anything to cause the ''occupant position detection system to malfunction. The device could have caused serious injury had it deployed accidentally or failed to deploy during an accident.

My 2002 honda accord v6 coupe has a problem with the safety restraint system. I brought it to dealer, and i was told that it was a seat belt buckle switch failure, and it would cost $200+ to fix, even though the owners manual states that all seat belt problems have a lifetime warranty.

This is a big safety concern for me, and i feel they should fix the problem.i have read online that there are many people with the same problem i have on their accords.i would appreciate any help you could give me.

I was making a right turn to merge into the middle lane on a highway service road where every car was waiting for the green light.i turned very slowly at low speed after stopping at the stop sign, and all of a sudden the steering wheel started to turn by itself, then my car turned 180 degrees, while the accelerator speeded up at a rapid pace, seeming to be stuck. My car jumped the curb, hit a sign, and finally stopped.the bumper cover came down, and i can see the bumper was damaged (pushed back in the middle about 2 inches), but both of my 2002 honda accord's air bags did not deploy at all.
Takata recall- i purchased a used 2002 honda accord today, 7/31/2019. When i entered the vehicle and started the car, i noticed the srs light on the dash was illuminated.

The airbag is not deployed but it does seem like over time it has inflated under the dash. Currently there are 6 recalls related to airbag modules in the year, make, and model of my vehicle, yet for some reason this website says my vin# is not included. Please address this airbag issue on my vehicle, if i were to ever wreck, i wouldn't want anyone to get hurt because of a faulty recalled airbag module that was just skipped over.
The srs light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer four times.the dealer could not fix the problem.state attorney general deemed the vehicle a lemon.
Srs warning light is on , indicating there is an issue with the airbag system. Since there have been issues with the takata bags i decide to investigate.
The srs light has been staying on continuously on my 2002 honda accord.i was wondering if there was recall for this that i have not been notified about?
Your urgent response and an action needed 1.request for an immediately recall for honda accord lx 2002 models as having dangerous transmission problems, widespread transmission failure, subframe rust, & problems with the airbag system (srs ), and overall the cars safety or quality numerous concerns.2.to fix the problems andrefund caused damages and personal injuriesdue to it, refundpaidpurchase costincluding damages, replace to a new car with includedpaidanddamagesoccurredto whom it may concern,2002 honda accordproblems & complaints carcomplaints.com notes: the 2002 honda accord suffers from widespread transmission failure, subframe rust, & problems with the airbag system (srs). We recommend avoiding this model year like the plague. The transmission begins slipping & eventually has to be replaced, typically soon after 90,000 miles & with a repair cost of over $2,000. Transmission failure has been a huge problem for the accord & several other honda models all through the early 2000s model years. Honda extended the transmission warranty to 93 months/109k miles for the 2000-2001 accord as a class action lawsuit settlement, but owners of other accord model years with transmission problems are out of luck.subframe rust near the front passenger side wheel has become a problem recently, due to the poorly positioned a/c drain hose directly above that area. Repair cost to the subframe is over $2,000.the srs warning light likes to come on due to a defective seat belt sensor -- typically the driver's side. This sensor is covered under honda's lifetime seat belt warranty, but some dealers charge a $100+ "diagnostic fee" or tell customers the entire srs unit ($800) is bad.

I did not have an accident. I am reporting honda because they lied to me and said my car was not on the recall list. About 2 months after the airbag recall became public i called them to ask if my car was on the recall. I was instantly told it was not. I just today went to this site online and looked it up and find it is. I believe honda was involved in a deliberate cover-up.

I have a 2002 honda accord. I received a letter from honda more than one month (04/13/2010) back saying that there is a safety recall on the drivers airbag inflater. The notice said that i have to contact my local dealer and they will fix for free. I contacted the local dealer (team honda, baton rouge) the same day the letter was received. They said they will order the part and once they get it they will let me know and try to fix it.i have not heard anything back from them till now. It looks like honda nor the dealership is serious about it and is not ready to fix it inspite of the recall.
My uncle was traveling on a state highway when his 02 honda hydroplaned on a rainy afternoon and hit head on with another vehicle. My three month old daughter sustained severe head trauma and died at the hospital a little later. Eleven days later my uncle died from severe bleeding and brain damage. Honda said nothing was wrong with this car. My daughter who was 2 at the time was a passenger along with two other cousins, they all came out fine. Now 6 years later we received a recall notice about the airbags and i'm concerned that this vehicle was not safe enough and could have been the main result in my daughters death.

Srs light came on and stays on continuously after my wife used upholstery cleaner on the front seats. I am told the airbag system is now disabled with the light on. Very poor design srs system design!
I am on my second honda - the first one was a 1987 honda accord that i had for 15 years. I loved that car and had no issues at all with its performance. The car listed with this complaint i bought new in 2002 and still have it today. I am not sure of the dates but within three to four years of having this honda, the dash board lights stopped working and the driver side airbag returned an error light. I faithfully service this vehicle ( kirkwood auto center wilmington de) and when they investigated the issue, i was told that each of the repairs was not covered by warranty and would be several hundred dollars to repair. I was a single parent at the time and learned to live with no dashboard lighting at night and had the air bags disabled. I have also taken the car to a certified honda dealer (union park honda wilmington de) and they also confirmed that neither of those repairs was covered or the product of a recall. I always thought i would buy hondas forever but i am quite disappointed in the performance of this 2002 accord and how it failed so soon after i purchased it with no recourse but to pay a huge amount of money to fix the issues. Equally upsetting is all of the issues with airbags that are being replaced yet my car, with the failed airbag, would have to be paid by me to be functional.what can honda do for me to keep me in your honda family?

I slowed down at a traffic light and my car was rear ended by another car who failed to apply the brakes and/or may have hit the gas pedal instead of the brakes.the car has been deemed a total loss as the car chassis seems to be crumpled.what i find very surprising is that neither the seat belts tighten nor the air bags were deployed despite being hit so hard.i was wondering what may have been the reason and what needs to be done so that it doesn't happen with anyone else.
My experience very similar to complaint #10311376. The srs warning light came on and stayed onthis 2002 american mfg. Accord with only 23,336 miles.i inquired whether the "recall" or extended warranty applied, and the service department told me it did not apply because the faulty part was a sensor in the seat belt latch, not in the module for the opds.replacement will cost about $200.a part #04813-s84 - a33zc, buckle set, was ordered.the disconnected the sensor so the light won't glow until the sensor is fixed. They also said the air bag won't deploy if the srs light is on.

Air bag light turns on and off.
May have to do with takata recall. As long as i've had the car (i bought it new) the airbag light has gone on and off intermittently. I've had all recall work done. The light persists in coming on intermittently. Every time my car is at the dealership for service i ask them to check this matter to see why that's happening, and every time they tell me it's not a problem and the airbags and the light are functioning as they're supposed to. I can't believe that's true. Something must be wrong for that to happen. I notice that they never make mention of having checked this out on the service order. This happens at any time, moving, stationary, any type of street or highway, turning, etc. It can happen at any time and under any conditions. It has always been to the same dealership for service. I'm really becoming concerned about the safety factor and if i would have a failure of the airbags to deploy when needed. About a year ago i was rear-ended--hard--and the airbags didn't deploy. I don't know if they should in a rear-end collision, but they didn't. I couldn't give a date as per your format because this has occurred from 2002 until the present, 2015, so the date i entered below is today's date. I also could not give a mileage because this has occurred from 0 miles to the 47,000 miles the car now has on it.

Vehicle was taken to curry honda of georgia in atlanta on 7/8/2019. The recall was satisfied and not reported
Srs and air bag sensor lights appeared intermittently at first, now stays on constantly, this seems to be an issue with honda for many years and ignored, my car has more miles and age and the honda customer service assistance decline to cover with a warranty or safety recall. The honda dealer wants megabucks to diagnose and replace sensors.i have been told that the air bags may not now deploy correctly or at all and this is a serious safety concern and liability for my wife and/or children/passengers from this defect in the event of an collision. I would like honda to fix and make their product safe for their customers.thank you

My takata air bag has been replaced twice by honda recalls.unfortunately, the replacement airbag is another takata airbag.does that make sense?my question is: why is honda replacing defective takata airbags with takata airbags?since takata is continuing to manufacture defective airbags.i have no confidence in the airbag in my honda.shouldn't honda use another airbag manufactured by another company to replacethe takata airbag.

My 2002 honda accord had a failed srs unit which honda repaired but issued me a bill stating it was not covered under the extended warranty.stating a fail code of 15-3 (opds sensor) that is clearly covered under the 06-009 honda service bulletin. It cost me $85 for them to clear the code, stating that the cause was electrical interference like a cell phone or laptop. It is an important safety issue because if at anytime i should use an electrical device in my car there is a chance my air bags will not deploy. Honda should issue a recall not an extended warranty and fix the issue not cover it up.

I purchased a 2002 honda accord coupe brand new in 2002.almost immediately after the purchase the srs indicator light began to indicate a problem with the airbag and restraint system.the indicator light illuminated intermittently at first but finally remained on constantly.i made the dealership aware of this and they refused to acknowledge a manufacturer problem and i had to pay for repairs in order to pass inspection. In the spring of 2006 honda finally acknowledge a problem and sent notification to owners.i was reimbursed for the money i had paid for repairs.given the problems that had been reported they extended the warranty on this part for all owners.unfortunately, a malfunction of the srs happened again in 2006.again i had to pay out of pocket for repairs.again i submitted the information to honda and was reimbursed.finally, in 2009 another problem with the srs was discovered.i assumed all would be as before and that i could submit a claim and be reimbursed.honda did pay to have the problem evaluated, but this time honda refused to acknowledge a problem and denied the claim for reimbursement. I have been in talks with honda over this issue since february 2009.i have appealed their denial as often as possible because it's obvious this part was defective from the beginning.now, a recall of hondas involving the srs system is under way, but again my claim is being denied.i am being told that the part in question is not defective.however, i think it's obvious that something is wrong with the entire srs system in this model year honda and they should acknowledge this. Honda was late in acknowledging a problem from the beginning and it seems to me that this is more of them taking no responsibility for their error.i do hope other owners have come forward as i am to make honda take responsibility and to reimburse owners for the expenses they have incurred for honda's defective part.

My wife and i purchased a new honda accord to be used by our 21-year old son who is attending college at brigham young university.on saturday, dec. 15, 2001 he along with 3 other college students were in the car on the freeway.they were traveling in the fast lane at around 70 miles per hour., another car going the same direction lost control (reason unknown), spun out across the freeway, hit the center divider and stopped directly in the path of our son.naturally he hit his brakes, but it happened so fast that there was nothing they could do except hit the other car head-on at about 60 miles per hour.all four of the parties in our car were wearing their seat belts, which probably saved their lives.however, the air bags did not deploy.it is a miracle that someone wasn't severly injured.while all of the parties had some whip lash, no one had to go to the hospital.someone told my son that because he hit his brakes the front end of our honda was lowered and went underneath the bumper of the car they hit, which was a larger suv and thats why the airbags didn't deploy.i thought airbags deployed on impact to provide the protection they are designed to provide.the police report indicated that the driver of the suv who spun out was at fault.while we are really glad that our son and his friends were not severly injured i have concern for someone else who may not be as lucky.i hope this information is helpful.i did contact honda motor cars to file a complaint.about all they did was take my information, send me information on airbags and tell me to contact my insurance company.should you like additional information please feel free to give us a call.thanks for your assistance.

My srs light in my 2002 honda accord has come on twice.it is currently at a honda dealership getting fixed.the airbags will not deploy in an accident if the light is on.this is a huge safety concern and i am not the only one with this problem.honda refuses to be accountable for this malfunction in their cars.
Replace srs control unit.
Srs light comes on, the car has only 24000 miles and it is a 2002 accord.i know that the warranty expired, but i strongly believe it is a manufacturer's defect in the srs systembecause other people are having the same issue in this generation of the accord which is the 6th generation from 1998-2002.
Airbag dashlight came on and remained on steadily. Called dealer and was told the problem probably was covered by warranty. Dealer checked vehicle on 10/2 and stated that problem required replacement of srs control unit at a total cost of $442.74. Mechanic stated that he frequently sees this problem on accord vehicles. This vehicle has only 32,,046 miles on it.
Srs indicator stays on for no reason. Owner's manual indicates problem with airbag or seatbelt tensioner. Called customer service but warranty expired. Never been involved in an accident. Went to the dealer but was told that it would cost 80 to 100 dollars just to see what was broken or defective, and could not give me an estimate since they don't know what part(s) are defective. Don't know if airbag/seatbelt would function properly if i get into an accident. Still driving with srs indicator on.
Srs light came on for no reason.took car to dealer, they advised no problem.reset it.light came on again, took it back to the dealer.they advised again, no problem.possibly the control unit...reset it, but advised light may come on again.they cannot be sure that unit is the problem, can repair, but cannot be sure that it will not happen again.light is now back on.unsure if i have an accident if my airbag will deploy or if it will just deploy for no reason.
Srs light came on at 70k miles.i too purchased this car because i thought it was reliable, but after reading all these complaints and the fact that the manufacturer will not address this issues disturbing to say the least.i will thinktwice before purchasing another honda.
I have a honda accord ex 2002. The transmission failed a month ago and the company replaced it under guarantee, after that was done the side airbag sensor light keeps coming on an off, now staying on for long periods of time. I am concerned that this may be a safety issue, it was not doing this before the transmission work replacements and the dealer does not seem to think this is something to be concerned about. I am.
I purchased this vehicle on 8/24/2004 as a certified used vehicle. Also i put exetended service agreement on it. At the time of purchase the driver's side seat belt had a problem and light stayed on. It was replaced.and light went off.on june 11 2007 the srs light came on and did not go off. I had the vehicle computer check for codes and found no problem codes. Mileage 94,228.
1) normal driving2) srs light came on, which indicates air bags are not active.seems like if you have to install air bags the design should make sure they function.3) stays on and seems to be a common problem.
Srs light activited due to defective opds sensor.defective sensor would have prevented the air bag from deploying in the event of an accident.car only has 68k miles.vehicle is garaged indoors and has never been in any type of accident and/or incident.a non-mechanical critical part should not fail in such a manor.corrective maintenance work was not covered by warranty.dealer could not provide a good answer as to why the part failed to function.
The srs warning lite is continually lit at 49,000 miles. After the obdii scanner was connected the system reported code 7-1. Code 7.1 refers to srs controller unit failure. The car is well maintained and cleaned. The recomened repair is to replace the srs controller unit at a cost of over 500 dollars. The srs unit is computer controlled as even though the other engine computers are warantyed for 8/80,000 the srs unit is not. I have now been told that the car i purchased for quality and reliability no longer has functioning airbags or automatic seat belt tensioners. Honda has opened a case and i must go through my local dealer to request a waranty extention on the part. Rd major problem with the car.
- the contact owns a 2002 honda accord. The air bag sensor light illuminated for over a month. The mechanic stated that they need ed to replace it.however, the dealer didn't give her a written copy of the estimate and diagnosis, only a verbal estimate. The current and failure mileage were 82000.

I have a 2002 honda accord ex. I recently saw a report about 2000-2001 accord passenger air bag light problems.i believe it also affects the 2002 model.my passenger air bag light f lashes on the dashboard from events such asmy dog sitting near the passenger door or my throwing a purse or bag down on the seat. This has occurred since owning the car when it was new. The honda dealership said they find nothing wrong and that the code clears itself after i turn my car off so they have no information to work with. They claim there is no safety problem when it occurs and that i am causing the problem because of improper usage of the passenger seat, i.e., my actionstrigger the air bag light coming on which they claim is meaningless. I stopped complaining since they said there is no safety problem associated with this.
When my car battery died last year, i took the vehicle to my dealership for replacement.the service technician called to tell me the car was ready but asked if i had noticed if my safety restraint system light had been on.i said it had not prior to the new battery being installed.the service technician told me he didn't want to charge me to diagnose the problem, and suggested i wait and see if it "self-corrected".he said that the light being on could mean my airbags would not deploy in an accident.the light remained on and several months later i took the car in for scheduled service i asked them to again look at it. They charged me $92.00 to perform an input function test which showed srs control unit failure and informed me repairs would cost $616.00.the car is now out of warranty, but the service technician kindly informed me that if it was the seatbelt that had broken they could of fixed it no charge even if the car was out of warranty.i declined the repair and looked online only to find many accord drivers have had the same issue, and each dealer charges a different amount for repair.this is a safety issue, not something normal wear and tear could cause to malfunction, nor could a driver cause this control unit to malfunction.
Dt: the safety sensor that controls the electronic system for the air bags ( srs sensor) failed. The manufacturer neglected to tell consumer never to get the seat wet or never open the windows during rain.the sensor is located in the front passenger seat and when the seat got wet/damp the system was not longer good.it got wet once before and had to replace it but was not told itwould be a problem if it got wet.the problem happened again but this time the warranty has expired and the dealer refused to repair it unless the consumer paid for it.this happened july 25, 2005.
My srs light came on.i received the warranty extension for the main components of the occupant position detection system.i took my car to the honda dealership and they checked out my car and said that my problem was the srs control unit.the srs control unit is not covered under the warranty extension and could cost me over $400.first of all, i found this to be very ironic that i had just received the warranty extension and my srs light came on like the warranty extension said, but yet my problem is not covered under the warranty extension.i feel as though i am being duped by the dealership since this srs control unit is a much more expensive part than the parts described in the warranty extension.
The srs light came on in my 2002 honda accord.i took it to the dealer and they charged me $95.00 just to check out the problem and then told me it was going to cost $852.00 to fix the problem.it was 18 days out of warranty.the seat never got wet and nothing happened to the car.i was told that not fixing the problem would result in the air bags not working in case of an accident.
My 2002 honda accord has a failed srs unit which honda will not repair under the extended warranty. It will cost me $580 to fix it. It affects safety because if i do not repair it my air bags will not deploy. There was a class action suit for opds so now they pay that but they will not pay for this.
Dt*: the contact stated the srs light illuminated in the vehicle. The dealership was contacted and stated this is a reoccurring problem in this type of vehicle.the side air bags will need to be replaced.
Side airbag light keeps coming on by itself, what this does is that it shuts off the side airbags on the car when the light somes on, nothing has been done to correct the problem honda will charge for fixing it even if the car is still under warranty
Side air bag light comes on from time to time.
2002 honda accord, 4 dr, manual trans, srs light stays on after passenger seat got wet or two much humidity in car.first time, dealer reset under warranty, second time, they wanted $75 - found website www.geocities.com/myintegra96/srs.html where directions are listed for resetting - it works, have done it on my car.someone should force honda to correct this, though - love my honda, hate the light.
The side air bag light intermittently illuminates.to force the light off, i pull the side of the passenger seat towards the center of the auto.this only occurs when the seat is empty.i have taken to the honda delarship and they state their diagnostics show nothing wrong and that i must have the light on in order to possibly find something wrong.of course the last time it came on, i entered the parking lot of the dealer and the light wehnt out.
Our vehicle was in the southbound left turn lane of a three lane road. (one north, one south left, one south straight).at fault vehicle coming from a side road on the passenger side or our vehicle collided with our vehicle.impact to our vehicle was at the passenger door.our vehicle was spun 180 degrees and stopped facing north in a painted divider area between the south bound left turn lane and the north bound lane.side airbag of our vehicle did not deploy.after the accident the srs fault indicator was on.
In a frontal collision onlydriver's side air bag didn't deploy on impact.
I suffered a severe head injury requiring 13 stitches to the side of my head/face. I was t-boned in the driver side door. My side air bag did not deploy resulting in this injury.
Side airbag lights often come on and off for no reason. This has happened for almost two years now.i had calleddealership regarding this situations. But they advised me that they could not do anything unless the side air bag light kept staying on.i assume whenever the light came on passenger was leaning on the chair in a certain way, but i noticed that the side airbag light would come on with or without a passenger in the seat.besides the on and off situations with the side air bag light, iwas involved in a driver side impact.the other party hiton driver's side door.the impact complete wrecked the door, but none of side air bags deployed or nothing. I assumed that the impact was not hard enough to deploy the side airbag. Also, manyfriends who also hadhonda accords experienced the same problem . I hope some one could investigate this problem becausethere was a malfunction andi could have gotten seriously injured from the accident or maybe from future accident if there was something wrong with the side airbag.

Srs light stays on. Seat belts were replaced and warning light reset,but came on after a couple of miles. Now there is a recall on the air bag inflators, but the seat belt control module, which activates the inflators is defective, and not covered under any update or recall program. I understand that the air bags will not deploy in a crash if the srs light is on. This is a fairly common problem and in my opinion should be covered under a federally mandatedsafety recall with no charge to the consumer.
While driving the vehicle, the engine just quits. There is no stuttering, stalling, or engine misfires, it quietly just quits.

When we purchased this 2002 honda accord ex in march of 2010 the clock backlight did not work. About 2 months ago the gear shift console backlight went out. The only way we know at night what gear we are in is to view it on the dash. Now the backlighting for the climate controls has gone out. We understand that this has been a problem for many years now and there has been very little positive help from honda. To get this fixed i understand that the whole radio must be replaced because of the interlocking electrical systems at a cost somewhere around $1000.00.

My car is completely unsafe to drive.it stalls while driving.it has stopped on highways, busy intersections, daytime-nightime. Honda dealership as well as other repair shops have told me that nothing shows up on their electrical tests.they test drive and it doesn't happen.the car will go 2 -3 between occurences, but it happens. The ignition switch has been replaced.presently, the car is a death trap at 125,000 mileage.i have read that this happens to other hondas.if this is true, this warrants a recall.the hood on my accord does not close. There has been a problem with this for several months.
It has been brought to my attention that honda had a recall in march 2005 on the 2002 honda accord for ignition park interlock. I checked the car by leaving it in drive, turned off engine and removed key - car then began to roll backwards. This is what the recall was for. Since the vin numbers didn't match what honda determined to be faulty, they now say that it isn't their responsibility. I am confused how this is a safety issue for some cars but not ours. Because it wasn't listed within the range of vin numbers according to honda? seems like it should have been.

My transmission does not engage in drive when in the cold weather. After the car and restarting it starts working but check engine light was on. I took the car to the honda dealer and they called honda service dept. Supposedly, my ecu is faulty and needs replacement. But my transmission could also need replacement after fixing my ecu. Now i am afraid driving my car thinking what if transmission fails while i am on the highway.my transmission has already failed once at around 40,000 miles in 2005. I thought it was a one-time thing and got the repair done at that time. Unfortunately, my model accord v6 2002 was never the part of honda transmission recalls despite having exactly same problem.also, i do not trust honda check engine light codes. For years my srs light for passenger seat belt was always on. Everytime dealer told me that i ecu has failed. After driving my car for 5 years with unsafe conditions, honda finally had a recall of srs module and now it the light is gone. With the same ecu.
Srs warning light came on while parked.took vehicle to dealership, where diagnostic service showed the driver's side seat belt detection mechanism was failing to function properly.this safety system is connected to the airbags, but is not covered under warranty (per american honda and local dealer).this malfunction is a known problem, but honda will not repair/replace without charging customer, thereby putting lives and safety at risk in the name of profit.
My requires the switch recall done dealer says its not covered by the vin. I took it into the dealer as honda recommend i marked the cover with clear tape .they claimed to look at it but didn't.they did get the description of the issue right on the job card. So i did the research i'm ase tech for 15yrs and found honda document and performed inspection and found that recall should have been done on this car. I went to dealer and got the part listed in the document and compared it to the original and found them to be as described even the materials used on the construction were different and improved on the new parts. I think honda is lying about how many of these switches are faulty.

When i utilize my mirror lights when i have theheadlights on.. The head circuit will short out , and i will not be able to see how fast i am driving in the night which is a serious safety risk problem.
I am on my second honda - the first one was a 1987 honda accord that i had for 15 years. I loved that car and had no issues at all with its performance. The car listed with this complaint i bought new in 2002 and still have it today. I am not sure of the dates but within three to four years of having this honda, the dash board lights stopped working and the driver side airbag returned an error light. I faithfully service this vehicle ( kirkwood auto center wilmington de) and when they investigated the issue, i was told that each of the repairs was not covered by warranty and would be several hundred dollars to repair. I was a single parent at the time and learned to live with no dashboard lighting at night and had the air bags disabled. I have also taken the car to a certified honda dealer (union park honda wilmington de) and they also confirmed that neither of those repairs was covered or the product of a recall. I always thought i would buy hondas forever but i am quite disappointed in the performance of this 2002 accord and how it failed so soon after i purchased it with no recourse but to pay a huge amount of money to fix the issues. Equally upsetting is all of the issues with airbags that are being replaced yet my car, with the failed airbag, would have to be paid by me to be functional.what can honda do for me to keep me in your honda family?
Took my car to dealer to fix just the airbag issue but got my car back with broken starter relay even if i jump start my car it wont crank

When my car battery died last year, i took the vehicle to my dealership for replacement.the service technician called to tell me the car was ready but asked if i had noticed if my safety restraint system light had been on.i said it had not prior to the new battery being installed.the service technician told me he didn't want to charge me to diagnose the problem, and suggested i wait and see if it "self-corrected".he said that the light being on could mean my airbags would not deploy in an accident.the light remained on and several months later i took the car in for scheduled service i asked them to again look at it. They charged me $92.00 to perform an input function test which showed srs control unit failure and informed me repairs would cost $616.00.the car is now out of warranty, but the service technician kindly informed me that if it was the seatbelt that had broken they could of fixed it no charge even if the car was out of warranty.i declined the repair and looked online only to find many accord drivers have had the same issue, and each dealer charges a different amount for repair.this is a safety issue, not something normal wear and tear could cause to malfunction, nor could a driver cause this control unit to malfunction.

I have reservations about writing to you, but i don't want any other families to loose a loved one . I am not even sure if this is a valid complaint, but here it goes.my mother owned a honda accord, i am not sure what year but she bought it used just recently and it was fairly new, my brother has possession at this time awaiting the bank decision on her estate.during the early morning hours of april 10, 2004, sometime between 2 and 4 am, my mothers car alarm went off, the neighbors will testify to this.(i was told it was a feature to let the owner know the battery was low, except my brother had just charged my mothers battery that week sometime.)during that time they say it went off and stopped twice.the second time they thought maybe there was a problem with my mother possibly calling for help.she lived alone and was 66 years old.the first time they heard the alarm they thought maybe she had went to the car for something and accidentally set the alarm off.she had previously had a cardio -conversion 3 weeks prior, where the doctors actually shock the heart to get a normal rhythm, my mothers heart was beating too fast for awhile.the procedure was said to have took and was too prolong her life 10 to 15 more years.the coroner's report states she died of a heart attack. She was found in the dining room floor with her feet pointing toward the garage, she was on her way to check on the car. My sister-in-law, a registered nurse stated that the horn may have scared my mother causing her blood pressure to elevate and caused a heart attack.shouldn't there be some sort of warning to heart patients considering buying this type of vehicle?i don't know what else to say except please let the honda people know this is a hazard. If this isn't making any sense to youi apologize, i haven't made sense of anything since i got the call about my mom. Thank you for your time.

On august 1, 2009, our parked2002 honda accord lxrolled off the parking lot and struck a vehicle parked on the other side before being stopped by the curb. Therewas an apparent failure of the ignition park switch interlock that allowed the ignition key to be removed from the ignition switch while the transmission was not shifted to park. The transmission was found to be in neutral after the crash. As a result of the crash, there was extensive damage to the front of our vehicle and lesser damage to the side of the vehicle. The total cost to repair the vehicle was $2609. The vehicle that was struck also needed repair. It sustained damage to the rear bumper and tail lights. Upon learning of other hondas having this problem and being recalled, i contacted honda manufacturer whose representative checked the vin number of our vehicle and informed me the recall didn't apply to 2002 honda accords. I then spoke toa nhtsa representative who informed me the recall did apply to some 2002 honda accords but that it was vin-specific. I then spoke to a second honda representative who agreed it applied to some 2002 honda accords but that it was vin-specific and it didn't apply to our car. I am perplexed that my car was not part of the recall even though it has the exact same problem as other honda accords that were recalled. The ignition switch problem has not been repaired yet and is available for inspection.thank you for your attention to this matter.

Electrical issues with lights,transmission has various issues after i've spent over $2,000 trying to get it fixed. The sensors go out or start acting up a short time after i've replaced them. The car will shut off and leave you to get hit because it takes seconds to minutes to get started again. Lights go on and off on their own.

The transmission has been reported as failing due to codes p0705 and p0706. My local honda dealership stated it would cost $4800 to replace the transmission. This is apparently a long standing issue with these models.
I was driving in traffic and my car's d4 light began blinking and when i would slow down to a complete stop the car would jerk before coming to a stop. I had to restart the car to get it to stop jerking. This has happened maybe 4 times before and i took it to someone and they said that the transmission could be going and i would need a new one. There are thousands of complaints about the transmissions on these older honda accords, and i think it is about time they do something to fix this issue.

I have honda accord 2002 which has been regularly serviced by honda dealers. I recently got my 120k service done and spend about $1000 on service and parts. At that time everything was diagnosed ok. After couple of months driving the engine light came on. I went to the dealer and was told that my car needs transmission replacement with a cost of $4000 upward. I researched on the web and came to know that the 2002 accord have transmission issues. A recall was done in 2004 for transmission. I didn't receive any recall notice from honda in 2004. Since honda knows about the issue i think honda should be liable to pay for the cost of fixing the transmission. Could anyone let me know what is my rights in this situation considering it is a known issue and honda did nothing about it. It is a potential safety hazard since faulty transmission can lock the engine resulting in crash. Please advise.
Driving around 60 m/p/h on 08/12/15 , a bang came from the right passenger side of the car. When i got home i inspected theproblem. The engine sub-frame had rotten and fell apart, i was very lucky i did'nt have a bad accident. I went online and found out that honda had it ac drainpipe directs water, which is right onto the sub-frame in this section, which cause it to rust out faster than the rest of the frame.i will be getting it repaired, because my granddaugther need this car to get work & college. Honda motor should repay me.i understand that honda know about this problem some years ago. (1999 - 2002 problem).
The heads on this car have to replaced, we paid over $1,000 a few years ago to replace the heads in the car. This past year the same thing happened and it was going to cost over $1,000 again. But this time it cause the engine to lock up. There was a small leak in the engine casing because of the head in the car.

Since then i have had the muffler fixed twicejust recently march 22,2016 cost was $422 and prior in 2014.. The check engine light just keeps coming on ,and the vehicle inspection is failing because of emissions. I am fearful that odorless gasses are seeping into the car which is a hazard to myself and passangers
The seal on the balance shaft came out, draining all the engine oil out of the car.possibly causing engine damage. The car had it's timing belt changed, now it has to be done again. Could have caused an engine fire.honda does not have a recall but should.dorman made a part to lock the seal in to prevent it from happening. Honda should have to reimburse for the expense.
Although this vehicle has been properly maintained, the engine block is very cracked, which caused the radiator to get oil all in it. The car is not driveable.
Takata recall: my transmission of my vehicle needs to be replaced because a faulty part was used in the vehicle. The transmission slips and will cost $3,000 to fix because honda used a bad part. Honda has recalled transmissions in honda accords years in close proximity of the vehicles year. They however did not do this one and i feel like i shouldn't have to pay for their mistake.
My honda was idling as i was clearing the snow off of the vehicle. When i got into my car, i could smell exhaust fumes, i assumed it was because it was idling. As i drove home, the smell faded, so i did not pay much attention to it. On 1/31/15 i had my car inspected & the oil changed. Aside from having the brakes & rotors replaced, all was well & the car passed inspection. On 2/8/15 i was driving home from the grocery store. Suddenly my oil light starts to blink & the smell of exhaust fumes becomes over whelming. I opened my windows & continued home. I pulled the car into the garage & noticed a trail of oil. I backed the car out of the garage & there was a pool of oil on the garage floor. My husband & i checked to be sure the drain plug & filter were intact, then we checked the oil level and it was empty! we were lucky the engine did not seize up! we took the car to our non-honda mechanic who informed us that the balance seal had blown out. As a result oil sprayed all over the left side of the engine.this is what was causing the exhaust fume smellpermeating the cabin. He told me that he can replace the seal, but that he would also have to replace the timing belt, water pump, pulleys, tensioner, cam & crank. He also told me that honda is aware of this problem & that the balance seals now come with a bracket to hold them in place. I asked him if there was a recall on the balance seals & he told me no, most likely due to the cost of the repair. I had to pay $848 to repair my car due to a blown seal that honda is aware of. Honda should most definitely recall this model of accords & fix the balance seal issue; for no other reason other than the dangerous fumes that filled the interior of my car. I'd like to be reimbursed for the cost of this repair. If you suddenly smell exhaust fumes, get the balance seal checked immediately as it is a warning!
August 2013 - just stopped while driving; placed in park and started ok; december 2013 - stopped on highway while driving - 60 mph in center lane - dangerous - placed in park and started again. Took to mechanic who replaced ignition switch as old hondas have been having this problemtwo days later, just stopped while driving on highway. Placed in park and tried to start; turned over, but didn't start - waited 1/2 hour - started again. Drove about 10 miles, then stopped again. Called tow truck. Now it starts, but i'm afraid to go anywherenote: feels like i ran out of gas when it stops.
Lost power and unable to safely control car.pulled into intersection and lost power in front of on-coming traffic.defective transmission, cars is unable to shift, may losepower or accelerate suddenly.well documented problem in honda transmission, unsafe to drive as power is unreliable and transmission can fail at any moment.honda already previously named in class action lawsuit, problems remain.honda refuses to acknowledge or repair.ntsb needs to order a recall for the safety of drivers and passengers.
For the steering, the power steering pump doesn't hold power steering fluid and when you go around a curve and there is a bump in the road, your steering wheel jerks the other way. It's way worse with no power steering but it is still there even if you have fluid. The transmission will jump in between first and second gear so roughly it feels like your transmission is going to fall out, sometimes you can't go because of it and it's almost caused some accidents. You can't get up to the speed you need to with it being so rough and jumpy. Then there is a ticking noise when i press on the gas peddle, from the timing belt and transistor. Some of these problems have been happening since i got the car, like the shifting and the steering. The ticking has been there but not as badly as it is now. I also know i'm not the only honda driver with these issues from this make and model and era for this car.

At first instance, the car began to show sluggish conditions when shifting gears.as time went on, the 'slips' began to grow more and more dangerous to the point that the car could barely shift between gears at all and was a safety hazard for both driver and to anyone around me as i was vulnerable to be rear-ended by anyone too close behind (because the car could not accelerate) and to those ahead of me as the car tended to jerk forward.after a repair to the solenoid once before, the car's performance improved, however some sluggish conditions remain and the conditions only worsen as time goes on.at 102,000 miles, the car's 2nd' transmission appears to need to be replaced to function properly.this is a known issue for honda accords as reported on several websites and known and acknowledged by independent mechanics across the country.it is irresponsible and reprehensible for honda to not take responsibility for this and be held accountable.at this current time honda refuses to take such action and will only offer minor reduction in repair costs that hardly seems fair to the thousand's of owners affected by this.please keep record of this and offer whatever assistance you can provide.source:http://www.carcomplaints.com/honda/accord/2002/transmission/hesitates_and_shifts_very_hard.shtmlothers maybe provided upon request.
Automatic transmission jerks when accelerating past 20mph or when putting it in reverse. After some research, i found out that this seems to be a common problem with 2002 honda accords yet it has not been recalled. Please look into this issue since a lot of drivers appear to be having the same transmission problem.
I tried contacting honda to see whether it is normal to get electric shocks from the car. Every time i close my door to my car i get shock. I even seen electric wave. However, honda indicated that it must be the way i am walking, but everyone who comes in and out of my car gets shock and its only happens in the dry winter time. When i step on my pedal the car stalls which causes me to step on the pedal harder. My engine just turns off while i step on the brakes. I have spoken to a mechanic who indicates that is normal for honda accord 2002. I contacted service, but they indicated that it is my responsibility and it is not the manufactures problem. I just wantedto report this information.
Sudden acceleration, accelerator sticking
Purchased the 2002honda accord se coupe in march 2008 with 64k miles. After a few months of driving i began to feel a slight jerk when i placed my feet on the accelerator. Took my car to a local honda dealership only to be told that i needed a transmission flush. After driving car i began to feel the slight jerk and over a year i recieved 2 transmission flushes. Jerking has gotten so bad that i am not able to trade because it is basically a lemon. Honda dealership has told me now that i need a new transmission. Over 3k to replace and after calling american honda they refused to help with the cost. This is a known problem with the 2002 accords but yet they wont own up to it. I will never purchase a honda ever again.

The danger occurs when you have to accelerate with the normal traffic flow and are unable to because of slipping and improper shifting. A accident waiting to happen. I'm sure there have already been accidents due to this by people who unaware of the severity of the problem. From what i've read this is a very common problem, honda has agreed to split the cost of the repair of $4,600, with my mom having alzheimer's and me no job that figure might as well be 4 million dollars. Please somebody help us with this problem.
Vehicle caught on fire while driving on roadway.
Turning a corner of a busy intersection the car made a load wump thunk sound and stopped with the engine still running. Luckily, no one rear-ended me or knocked me into the policeman in the road conducting alicense check.
The contact owns a 2002 honda accord.while driving various speeds, the vehicle stalled several times.the vin was not included in nhtsa campaign id number 02v226000.the manufacturer would not take any liability for the failures.the failure and current mileages were less than 60,000.
Transmission skips between 1st and 2nd and needs replaced. Only 112,000 miles and i have done every service recommended - all but one were done by the dealership! there has always been a little jerk there when accelerating but was told it was fine.
While traveling on the highway she heard a loud banging noise coming from underneath the vehicle.the vehicle shut down and will not restart dealer is aware of problem please fill in additional information. Ts
The contact owns a 2002 honda accord.the contact did not notice any failures with the vehicle prior to the failure.she took the vehicle to a nissan dealer for a routine tune-up and was informed that oil was leaking in the cooling system.the mechanic flushed the cooling system and the contact drove to her residence.a few days later, she wanted a second opinion and drove to a honda dealer.the mechanic stated that there was a crack in the head gasket.the vehicle has not been repaired and the manufacturer has not been notified.the contact has supporting documents to confirm the failure.the current mileage was 90,000 and failure mileage was 85,000.
My case is very similar to odi id number: 10251868.i was driving on the freeway.the engine overheated and it was found that the upper radiator hose burst.engine oil leaked into the cooling system also.the honda dealer torn down the engine, and did a series of inspections, leak down test, and pressure test.no visible sign of a blown head gasket.no signs of warping and/or cracks on the cylinder head.the service manager said it is probably due to a very porous cylinder head.the most likely cause for the engine overheating is as follows:the porous cylinder head allowed engine oil to leak into the cooling system.the oil deteriorated the rubber gasket on the thermostat.(this was indicated by fresh engine oil residue found on the damaged rubber gasket of the original thermostat.) the deteriorated rubber gasket blocked the flow of the coolant.without enough flow rate to cool down the system, the coolant boiled inside the hoses.pressure built up, and the upper radiator hose burst.coolant leaked out from the damaged hose, and the engine overheated.this is the first time the car has this problem.it has no major problems before.i completed all necessary maintenance on time according to the owner's manual.all major maintenance services were performed by the dealer.to correct the failure, the dealer recommended replacing the whole cylinder head, but the total repair cost for it, including changing the oil-contaminated hoses and others, cost more than $4200.it's just too expensive. All the old parts (damaged hoses, thermostat, etc) are available.fyi, if it helps any investigations, this car is still torn apart at the dealer as of today.
There was a rattling sound near the rear door and passenger seat, however the dealer could not duplicate the problem, also the vehicle stalled on numerous occasions.
The contact owns a 2002 honda accord.while driving at various speeds, the vehicle loses power and stalls.all of the instrument panel lights illuminate when this occurs.the contact took the vehicle to the dealer on may 31, 2008 and they kept the vehicle until june 4, 2008.the dealer informed the contact to retrieve the vehicle on june 5, 2008, but she ended up returning the vehicle to the dealer for the same failure.the dealer could not duplicate the failure.no repairs have been made because the dealer could not identify the code related to the failure.the failure mileage was 73,860 and current mileage was 74,000.
My 2002 honda accord lx-v6 has developed premature failure of both the front and side motor mounts. This is a known defect of honda v6 vehicles, for which honda has issued a technical service bulletin (tsb). Motor mounts are not a normal maintenance item; they are not listed in the honda recommended maintenance schedule for honda accords up to 120,000 miles as an item that needs to be replaced or inspected. Many experts suggest that motor mounts should outlast the life of the car; hence this clearly represents a premature failure of a critical engine safety component. The broken motor mounts represent a 'safety-related defect' as described in the u.s. Code for motor vehicle safety (title 49, chapter 301). A safety defect is defined as a problem that exists in a motor vehicle or item of motor vehicle equipment that poses an risk to motor vehicle safety, and may exist in a group of vehicles of the same design or manufacture, or items of equipment of the same type and manufacture. Broken motor mounts (engine mounts) are dangerous and could lead to catastrophic failure at high speed due to wedged linkages causing unintended acceleration and loss of vehicle control.driving with damaged engine mounts can be very dangerous. The engine can also spin front ward and damage the radiator with the fan blades.the nhtsa has previously recognizing broken engine mounts as a 'safety-related' defect. On october 15, 1971, nhtsa issued a consumer protection bulletin advising motorists of the "potential risks" of broken gm engine mounts. Updated 03/01/10updated 03/08/10updated 03/12/10
Car delays shifting into second gear then shifts hard causing engine light to come on and the gear indicator to flash resulting in loss of movement. I have to shut the car off then re start to keep moving.
While driving 45 mph vehicle stalled.driver was not able to restartvehicle, and had ittowed to a dealer for inspection, andmechanic determined that the engine needed to be replaced.
I purchased this vehicle the end of mar 2008 with 83000 miles on it. Approx 30 days after purchase i took it in for an oil change, radiator flush and tune up. A week later my car overheated, the upper radiator hose had blown. A new mechanic looked at it and saw evidence of stop leak and said it did not look like it had been flushed-he took care of it properly. Then, approx 30 days later i took the car in for it's scheduledoil change and he said there was oil leaking into the radiator fluids-right now it is a one way leak, the antifreeze is not leaking into the oil. He recommended a head gasket job. During the repair it was discovered that this vehicle had a recent head job done and he put out a query online. The information that came back was that this was a problem that honda was aware of, but seemed to be keeping quiet about-they had not issued any service warnings, suggestions, or recalls-they were dealing with it on a case-by-case basis...mechanics have determined by trying to fix the problem (head jobs, replacing radiators, etc) and it not being solved that it is a cracked engine block. My mechanic and i agreed to watch it closely and be very diligent with oil changes. With each oil change he also includes a radiator flush as there is always oil in the radiator overflow tank as well as the oil levels are near empty. Last night on the way home it overheated again and when we looked in the radiator it was full of sludge. My "reliable" used car purchase less than nine months ago has become a greater expense to me than if i had purchased a brand new car. The only reason i purchased this car was because of its reliable reputation and the most affordable of a used cars. I simply cannot afford this car, or to get rid of it and get a new one. Any help would be greatly welcomed!
Honda replaced the transmission and engine for a 2002 honda accord.the transmission went out again.they will not fix it.i found out that there was no recall for this problem, but honda would fix it if questioned the cost.they put in the same transmission that was bad in the first place.i had to buy a new car.a friend of mine has the same problem and they are replacing the transmission.why is there no recall for this?

While not crashes or injuries have been related to the honda vehicle i own, there are a number of engineering and manufacturing defects on the vehicle which are a cause of serious safety concerns.i have a 2002 honda accord with about 131,000 miles which has had the following issues:1. The transmission went out around 60,000 miles and was replaced by honda.at around 100,000 miles the transmission started to exhibit same symptoms. I took the car in, but, of course, honda dealer said there is nothing wrong. Then around 116,000 miles a honda mechanic said that my model of a car has an issue with transmissions and that it would need to be replaced.the transmission issue is bad enough to have a website dedicated to it. While a transmission failing is not necessarily a safety issue, loosing vehicle control and drivable on the highway could be.2. Now the vehicle starts to vibrate at highway speeds despite having new and balanced tires on it. I took the car in to get new struts.since then i took the car to a mechanic of very high integrity (not the honda dealer) and they said that unfortunately, the problem may simply be ?impossible? to fix since everything they could see indicated that car should behave normally, i.e. The tires were fine, the alignment was fine, and the cv joints were fine.this is becoming more and more of the issue and indicates a possible design flaw with the vehicle.3. The lights on the vehicle are horrible.this is a safety issue as it seriously impairs the vehicle drivability.4. The rails for the driver's seat had to be replaced around 32,000 miles and now (at around 130,000 miles) the seat seems to wobble again. This could be a potential safety issue as it seems that the seat could simply detach in the case of an accident. Updated 05/07/10.

Today i received a notice from honda of important safety recall telling me that the driver's front air bag inflator in my car can injure or kill.

When we purchased this 2002 honda accord ex in march of 2010 the clock backlight did not work. About 2 months ago the gear shift console backlight went out. The only way we know at night what gear we are in is to view it on the dash. Now the backlighting for the climate controls has gone out. We understand that this has been a problem for many years now and there has been very little positive help from honda. To get this fixed i understand that the whole radio must be replaced because of the interlocking electrical systems at a cost somewhere around $1000.00.
I am on my second honda - the first one was a 1987 honda accord that i had for 15 years. I loved that car and had no issues at all with its performance. The car listed with this complaint i bought new in 2002 and still have it today. I am not sure of the dates but within three to four years of having this honda, the dash board lights stopped working and the driver side airbag returned an error light. I faithfully service this vehicle ( kirkwood auto center wilmington de) and when they investigated the issue, i was told that each of the repairs was not covered by warranty and would be several hundred dollars to repair. I was a single parent at the time and learned to live with no dashboard lighting at night and had the air bags disabled. I have also taken the car to a certified honda dealer (union park honda wilmington de) and they also confirmed that neither of those repairs was covered or the product of a recall. I always thought i would buy hondas forever but i am quite disappointed in the performance of this 2002 accord and how it failed so soon after i purchased it with no recourse but to pay a huge amount of money to fix the issues. Equally upsetting is all of the issues with airbags that are being replaced yet my car, with the failed airbag, would have to be paid by me to be functional.what can honda do for me to keep me in your honda family?
I have a 2002 honda accord ex that has continuously been having transmission issues including jerking in and out of gear revving up witout moving and switching gears. Also having noticed i forgot to put car in park and turned off my car taking keys out of gear. Both of these problems are big safety issues and have occurred since owning the car for two years. I am now faced with getting a new transmission on a car that had originally less then 100 thousand miles on it when purchased. I have also had to replace the head lights and brake lights 3 times since owning the car and i have never left lights on for an extended period.
When i utilize my mirror lights when i have theheadlights on.. The head circuit will short out , and i will not be able to see how fast i am driving in the night which is a serious safety risk problem.
Low beams have stopped working? high beams works fine... I replaced with a new bulb, but it still doesn't work (something electrical?). This defect has similar symptoms to the electrical issues i have read about for the 2003-2007 models.
The headlight covers became highly scratched by normal driving, to the point that the headlight covers significantly prevented the headlights from doing their job.they had to be replaced.
Headlight has discolored and frosted over.

Driver side seat shakes/moves when accelerating or appling brakes, the dealer replaced the track but the problem still exist, the windshield wipers are sluggish and the left wiper was very noisy and left streak on the windshield, the glove box door would not close properly, the drivers seat belt would not retract intermittently due to the belt being twisted/curled, the left rear door would not close properly, fog lights were out of focus, the air bag light illuminated. *nlm
The front headlights do not provide enough light to the left and right.the problem makes turning to the left or right on dark or poorly light roads very difficult as well as being able to see people and objects to the left and right on roads at night.shortly after purchasing the auto, i took it back to the dealer to check the front headlights.the dealer said the headlights were properly aligned.i then took the auto to a service station that also does virginia safety inspections to check only the headlights.the service station technician said the headlights were properly aligned.the headlights did not and do not provide sufficient light to the left and right of the auto!!!
After making an appointment to have the low beam lighting recall 04v086000 performed the dealership refused to perform the recall indicating that this vehicle model isn't the recalled model, although the consumer has a recall letter with the vin number on it.

This is not so much a failure as a question/suggestion about what regulations are in place for us standards of rear taillight assemblies.a lot of manufactures have gone to using red turn signals that also serve as brake lights.the problem i have, and i'm sure this has caused accidents, is that when someone is indicating a turn 90% of the time they must brake to do so.but the act of braking obscures the turn indicator.when one turns they drop a lot more speed then someone braking with traffic.the uniformly red turn/brake light assemblies can cause confusion among drivers behind the turning vehicle and lead to misinterpretation of the drivers intention and lead to accidents.has any study been done involving rear-end accidents involving turning vehicles?there is probably a higher % involving vehicles with red rear-turn signals.im hoping that the nhtsa will perform a study regarding red turn signals and propose new regulations that require automakers to use yellow lenses for all rear-turn signals.another issue with them is when the vehicles hazard lights are on.having blinking yellow lights will alert drivers much quicker to the presence of a disabled vehicle than blinking red lights.the red lights will blend in with any other vehicle braking to slow due to the hazard.thank you for taking the time to read my question, if this is not the right department for such a compliant/suggestion, can you please forward it to the appropriate personal.could you also notify me of the proper department and its contact information for making such suggestions?thanks.
Consumer stated the turn signals did not cancel when switchinglanes on the highway.they didn't cancel without an abrupt movement. *scc
Purchased the 2002honda accord se coupe in march 2008 with 64k miles. After a few months of driving i began to feel a slight jerk when i placed my feet on the accelerator. Took my car to a local honda dealership only to be told that i needed a transmission flush. After driving car i began to feel the slight jerk and over a year i recieved 2 transmission flushes. Jerking has gotten so bad that i am not able to trade because it is basically a lemon. Honda dealership has told me now that i need a new transmission. Over 3k to replace and after calling american honda they refused to help with the cost. This is a known problem with the 2002 accords but yet they wont own up to it. I will never purchase a honda ever again.
I have honda accord 2002 which has been regularly serviced by honda dealers. I recently got my 120k service done and spend about $1000 on service and parts. At that time everything was diagnosed ok. After couple of months driving the engine light came on. I went to the dealer and was told that my car needs transmission replacement with a cost of $4000 upward. I researched on the web and came to know that the 2002 accord have transmission issues. A recall was done in 2004 for transmission. I didn't receive any recall notice from honda in 2004. Since honda knows about the issue i think honda should be liable to pay for the cost of fixing the transmission. Could anyone let me know what is my rights in this situation considering it is a known issue and honda did nothing about it. It is a potential safety hazard since faulty transmission can lock the engine resulting in crash. Please advise.
I am very disappointed with my very first new car purchase.i thought honda was supposed to be a number one car for safety and was supposed to be long lasting.i have had mine in the shop 6-7 times in the last 6 -7 months and it is due to go into the shop again because they still have not fixed the window buttons correctly.i have had the car not start 3 times and have brought it into the dealer to have them tell me that nothing is wrong.i have been without a car for several days while they have it hooked up to some computer and have had no rental cars available to me.i am very frustrated and very affraid to go out to my car and have it not start on a day that i really need it.i want these pronblems fixed and am bringing it to another dealer to see if they can help me with it.dt

I took my honda to honda of stevens creek and asked if they knew anythingabout my car not starting when is left on hot weather. They said they was abulletin but no recall and therefore i was responsible for the fix. I looked online and it seems to be a very common problem with the fuel pressure regular or something to that effect. How does one get a common problem fix or start a recall process? it seems to me that having to use my vehicle in coldweather only is problematic. Thank you for your help.
Electrical issues with lights,transmission has various issues after i've spent over $2,000 trying to get it fixed. The sensors go out or start acting up a short time after i've replaced them. The car will shut off and leave you to get hit because it takes seconds to minutes to get started again. Lights go on and off on their own.

I purchased this vehicle, a 2002 honda accord ex v-6, in 2008 with 45,000 miles. I began to notice hesitation when changing gears, and a hard jerk that would occur while first gear changes to second gear. I took it to the local honda dealership, and they could not find anything wrong with the vehicle. Six years later at 130,000 miles, my vehicle still does the same thing while driving. I have talked with other honda owners, same model, and they all have had the same problem. I don't understand why this issue has not been recognized yet. It is not only unsafe, but unfair to not provide owners with some type of resolution. Don't even get me started on the clearcoat that has also worn off.
Takata recall: my transmission of my vehicle needs to be replaced because a faulty part was used in the vehicle. The transmission slips and will cost $3,000 to fix because honda used a bad part. Honda has recalled transmissions in honda accords years in close proximity of the vehicles year. They however did not do this one and i feel like i shouldn't have to pay for their mistake.
The check engine light came on suddenly so i took it the shop to get it checked out. The technician said that the transmission failed and needs to be replaced. The car is a honda accord ex v6 2 door coupe and only has 70,600 miles. It seems like many honda vehicles are experiencing early transmission failures that normal.
The subframe that supports the engine/transaxle and the front suspension is rusting through on the right side.this can result in a catastrophic failure during operation of the vehicle, and appears to be a very common defect in this generation of accords.most mechanics attribute the cause of the defect to the location of the airconditioner drain tube that drips condensation onto the subframe while it is running.
Vehicle is having transmission problems. Throwing out numerous transmission codes even after replacing said parts. I was advised that this is a common problem with the year and model. Vehicle as it drives will not shift from 3rd to 4th gear. After car warms up vehicle seems to run fine. Switched out all solenoids, pressure switches and pcm. Vehicle still has problems.
Purchased the 2002honda accord se coupe in march 2008 with 64k miles. After a few months of driving i began to feel a slight jerk when i placed my feet on the accelerator. Took my car to a local honda dealership only to be told that i needed a transmission flush. After driving car i began to feel the slight jerk and over a year i recieved 2 transmission flushes. Jerking has gotten so bad that i am not able to trade because it is basically a lemon. Honda dealership has told me now that i need a new transmission. Over 3k to replace and after calling american honda they refused to help with the cost. This is a known problem with the 2002 accords but yet they wont own up to it. I will never purchase a honda ever again.
I got 2002 honda accord v6. Recently, i heard a sound when the transmission shift gear, like ban sound. The transmission began jerk while accelerating.... I researched on the internet and saw a lot of people with the same problem, don't know what to do.
My car has roll-away problem. If the transmission is not in park and the parking brake is not set, the vehicle rolls away. I have noticed a recall on the similar grounds on various other vehicles (http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/12/12/us-autos-honda-recall-idusbre8bb11220121212). My vehicle should also be included in this recall.thanks
2002 honda accord transmission failure.there seems to be a problem with honda transmissions in that there are over 600,000 reported failures.honda admits to the problem and offers to pay 50% of the repair if it is done in a honda dealership.the problem is that the dealership price is double what other ase repair facilities would charge for the same repair so in effect honda is offering nothing.attempts to get through an appeal to honda with letters to officers of honda have yielded not response from them.it seems impossible to get around the "customer service" firewall.no documentation has ever been received from honda not even the repair quote.it is all verbal with not concern for this defective transmission.
The contact owns a 2002 honda accord. While traveling 35 mph, the contact noticed that the transmission would not shift into gear occasionally while driving at any speed and vehicle would surge forward without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the contact was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The current and failure mileages were 93,000.
I have a 2002 honda accord v6.my tcs, check engine light and my d4 transmission light came on so i took it to the honda dealership and they said that there was a 'problem' with my transmission and that it would need to be replaced at a total cost of $4900.i did some research and found that this is a pervasive problem in this model - transmissions are failing around 100k, some earlier - but honda has not issued a recall or offered to replace transmissions to my knowledge.i never thought i would need to replace the transmission on my honda ever, but now i need to replace it way too soon.i previously had a bottom of the line 1994 honda civic dx with 140k miles and never had any issues so i decided to upgrade to their top of the line model.i bought a honda because i wanted it to last a long time, but now this cost along with a badly needed paint job due to the clear coat eroding (another pervasive problem in this model where again honda has not admitted fault) is more than the $6200 blue book value.
I was driving down the highway and all of a sudden my transmission decides to not know what gear it was in. It just revs the engine acts like it is in neutral. This is a major safety concern since the car looses power and someone could have rear-ended me. Checked on autobeef.com and the majority of the complaints dealt with this issue on the accord. This is a major safety concern since so many people are affected. Honda used to be dependable but not now. Now i had to miss work and look for a new car or get it repaired which costs 3,000 dollars.
Defective transmission casing seal leaking due to manufacturer process.one area portion was leaking areadeteriorate by not having contact two flat surface.i went to a honda dealership after 4 unsuccessful repair trip and charging me for unnecessary repair until the technician found out it was leaking from the casing seal. I'am just a unsatisfied customer for not getting the job right after 4 failure attempt. I'am not really not sure if the technician did the job right or not? but one thing for sure that i'am not coming back to that same place for future repair!
This vehicle was purchased from the original owner in january of 2012.i am the second owner.the car has over 100 documents in the service record folder i have for it.it has been well taken care of, with the transmission fluid just changed.the shifting has gotten progressively worse since about a month after i purchased the vehicle.slipping, jerking, potentially dangerous wheel-spinning, it does it all.at 95,500 miles the transmission is pretty much blown.it could be unsafe to drive in traffic or at highway speeds, since at any time the vehicle could lose power or the wheels could lock up.i thought i was buying quality when i bought a honda.turns out i bought a car from the worst generation of accords.these years are notorious for transmission failures, and one complaint website says to "avoid [this vehicle] like the plague".i wish i had.looks like it will cost ~$2500 to fix, not sure i want to put the money into it, and unless honda admits the problem and starts repairing these transmissions for no cost, i wont buy another honda.they may offer to cover half the cost of a rebuild, but they'll charge $5000 for it, so it's pointless.
Contamination of the linear solenoid and its associated passages inside the transmission will cause transmission failure.
I own a 2002 honda accord 4 cylinder. I have problems with the transmission slipping. This problem has occurred for a year and a half. I have taken it to the dealership they cannot reproduce my complaint. I have also flushed the transmission to see if this would resolve/ help no luck i have also tried 3 transmission shops no one can diagnose it. This website http://www.carcomplaints.com/honda/accord/2002/transmission/transmission_slipping_and_jerking.shtml has had 57 complaints of the same problem i have had. I know honda has problems with their transmissions they will fix it if it is an 00 or 01. Please can someone get them to fix the 2002 models.
Gear selector flashes, d4 over and over, sets check engine light with multiple codes related to transmission issue. Tested solenoids, replaced failed one, still having issue. Will not go into 4th. When it goes into 4th, id does not stay in 4th gear. Sometimes it will get to 3rd, but again doesn't stay. 2nd is the highest that works. Bucks and jerks violently, and is a pure danger to drive on the street. It has been parked and not driven since the transmission failed.
My transmission runs fine but every now and then when i come to a come stop and have to press the gas to go the car will move very slowly and then jump to a high speed, this is happenning alot now. I checked the intenet and the are several others with the same year and model vehicle that are experiencing the same problems. The codes are coming back 700 and 780 with are shift malfunctions, this is very dangerous, please help!
The contact owns a 2002 honda accord. When the contact started the vehicle and attempted to drive, the gear shifter would not move. The contact stated that the vehicle exhibited the same symptoms as listed in nhtsa campaign number: 05v025000 (electrical system). The vehicle was not taken to a dealer to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 92,000.
Transmission skips between 1st and 2nd and needs replaced. Only 112,000 miles and i have done every service recommended - all but one were done by the dealership! there has always been a little jerk there when accelerating but was told it was fine.
Automatic transmission jerks when accelerating past 20mph or when putting it in reverse. After some research, i found out that this seems to be a common problem with 2002 honda accords yet it has not been recalled. Please look into this issue since a lot of drivers appear to be having the same transmission problem.
The contact owns a 2002 honda accord. The contact stated that when the vehicle engine was started, the gear shifter became was inoperable. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who performed a diagnostic test and advised the contact that the shift solenoid valve failed and the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The vin was unknown. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 182,000.
I was driving along, and my car started lurching and jerking, making a big thumping noise.i took it to a honda service center, they said i needed a new transmission- the car only had 62,000 miles.
I have honda accord 2002 which has been regularly serviced by honda dealers. I recently got my 120k service done and spend about $1000 on service and parts. At that time everything was diagnosed ok. After couple of months driving the engine light came on. I went to the dealer and was told that my car needs transmission replacement with a cost of $4000 upward. I researched on the web and came to know that the 2002 accord have transmission issues. A recall was done in 2004 for transmission. I didn't receive any recall notice from honda in 2004. Since honda knows about the issue i think honda should be liable to pay for the cost of fixing the transmission. Could anyone let me know what is my rights in this situation considering it is a known issue and honda did nothing about it. It is a potential safety hazard since faulty transmission can lock the engine resulting in crash. Please advise.
The contact owns a 2002 honda accord. The contact stated that when the vehicle was shifted into drive, he was able to haphazardly remove the key from the ignition, causing the vehicle to roll away. The vehicle was taken to a dealer for diagnosis. The contact was unsure of the diagnosis however, the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and offered no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000. The current mileage was approximately 199,000.
Transmission jerks violently coming to a stop causing the vehicle to brake improperly. From a dead stop to normal speed, vehicle transmission slips from 1st to 2nd gear causing vehicle to slow unexpectedly and cars behind to slam on their brakes. Nhtsa needs to conduct an investigation and work with honda to issue a recall. This is a safety issue!
Transmission needed to be replaced. While driving car the d4 light flashed and then the check engine light came on,a short time prior to that it seemed it was shifted harder than normal. Took it to honda dealership and was told the tranny was gone. Looking online for some information on this problem i found that hundreds have had the same happen to them for this year and model,i think there should have been a recall on this. The honda dealership did give us 20% off $2900.because we purchased the car there but i believe we should have been informed about this defect earlier.
The contact owns a 2002 honda accord. While driving approximately 15 mph, the engine stalled with the illumination of all the warning indicators on the instrument panel. The failure occurred three times when driving at a low speed. There was a recall under nhtsa campaign id number 05v025000 (electrical system: ignition: switch); however the vin was not included. The contact planned to take the vehicle to the dealer for diagnosis. In addition, the transmission would slip in a jerking motion whenever the vehicle was in operation. The manufacturer was notified of the defect. The approximate failure mileage was 87,000.
The d4 light started blinking in my 2002 honda accord ex, not allowing my car to upshift properly on the highway leaving me having to drive slow on a highway with speeding cars.i know honda has had numerous complaints about the transmissions in their 2002 accord models and refuses to recall.this is certainly a safety issue' or does honda just want to wait until people die because their car stopped dead on a highway due to a faulty transmission?
2002 honda accord ex, 100,000 miles. Maintenance light came on and almostimmediately the vehicle began to shake at speeds of 40 mph or lower. Mechanic said total transmission failure.

Bought our 2002 honda accord ex v6 new.at around 70000 miles, transmission started giving us problems and finally had to be replaced. Very scary when light changes and you can't get car to move! rebuilt engine cost $2500 had a 12 month 12k mile warranty. Died at around 20000 miles.car has been a lemon. Afraid to buy a 3rd transmission, new or rebuilt and let my 16 year old drive it.honda knows there is a problem with all the v6 they built for several years 2001-2004.when i called they could have cared less.and this is a safety issue.
I have been the single owner for this car since december 2001. Car has 103500 miles on it and has been well maintained.vehicle started experiencing jerks when upshifting from 1st to 2nd gears. Took it to the dealer who says it will cost $4600 and i would have to pay $3100.there should be a recall as too many people are reporting the same problem.
The contact owns a 2002 honda accord. The contact received a recall notice for nhtsa campaign id number: 04v176000,(power train:automatic transmission). The contact stated that her vehicle was not included in the recall despite having experienced the same failure. The contact stated that while changing gears, the transmission seized. The dealer was notified and advised that the gear shifter needed to be repaired.the vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 120,000.
My transmission slips and jerks going into 1st and second gear.it also jerks when i come to a complete stop and jerks out of 1st gear.the car eventually wouldn't accel when i pressed on the gas and would only go 20 mph.i took it to a honda dealer and they said i needed a new transmission so i took it to another car shop who replaced the solenoids which seemed to help a little.i have been driving it for a while now but it is still not 100% and recently has been getting worse and is really slipping or jerking into gear everytime i drive it.
Vehicle lurked into on coming traffic causing vehicles to slam on brakes and a near miss on interstate 10. 3 or four vehicles had to go to the median,entering on-ramp headed west on i10. Not the first occasion this situation has happened.
The contact owns a 2002 honda accord. While attempting to accelerate from a stop and while driving various speeds, the vehicle jerked and hesitated before moving forward. The failure recurred on numerous occasions. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 85,000.
I purchased my 2002 honda accord in 2007 and was told by the dealer i purchased it from that they had repaired the transmission as part of honda's recall. I began leaking transmission fluid and shortly after, the transmission began to hesitate. When i am moving from a stopped position, the engine rev's up but the vehicle will not move then suddenly the vehicle will take off. I am terrified of driving the vehicle. I am afraid of crossing traffic, making turns in fear that the vehicle will hesitate and not move in and i will be hit by an oncoming vehicle. This is a known recall from honda corporation and unfortunately due to the dealer misrepresenting performing the recall work, i am now stuck with the vehicle and its repair costs.
Normal driving, car transmission gives jerk when comes to stop, honda has given no help, simple no. It occurs everytime the car slow down and sometimes the engine stops working.
The transmission has been reported as failing due to codes p0705 and p0706. My local honda dealership stated it would cost $4800 to replace the transmission. This is apparently a long standing issue with these models.
We purchased this vehicle in 2008 from a honda dealership's used car lot (under a seperated name that was closed down a few months after we bought our car). Within a month, the transmission began jerking and surging. Being a mechanic, i hooked it up to a machine and found out the transmission had a code displaying. Honda's spreadsheet stated that the problem was the "1 2 shift solenoid" or if this failed to repair the issue, "replace transmission". Come to find out it was a known issue, one that has caused accidents in the past, and that honda has done very little about it to compensate customers. We had the car repaired at the shop that [xxx] (the dealership) took all their cars to. It has worked for almost 3 years. We have only gotten 32,000 miles out of this car, and are now looking at another transmission repair/replacement. I am currently in the navy, i leave my family for long periods of time, this has been the worst car i have ever owned, and the company who should be responsible for selling us a lemon refuses to do anything about it. Neither the dealership or honda wish to take any kind of responsibility for their poor customer service.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Transmisin problem
Major automatic transmission problems.when gently stopping the vehicle (at a stop sign, or at a red light), the car lurches forward after it has already come to a complete stop.this happens when it is trying to downshift from second to first gear.then, there is a five second delay before the car actually engages in first gear (in other words, after i stop, i cannot move the car again for at least five seconds). Also, sometimes when accelerating, the car slips out of gear for a few seconds (jerks forward and back) and then eventually slips back into gear.both of these problems occur sporadically.the problem seems to be worse when the car is warmed up.
While driving on freeway vehicle accelerated, continue to gain speed. Had to brake real hard, vehicle cont. To accelerate. Exiting freeway at high speed, blow a stop sign could not stop. Continue hard braking causedbrakes to catch fire. Finallyable to bring vehicle to a complete stop. Unknown what caused veh. To accelerate
Sudden jerking and slipping;out of control partially;check engine light on only after a while.
Defective transmission casing gasket seal causing fluid leak during highway speed.the transmission casing seal was taken apart and found gasket seal deteriorate one specify location.it possible cause by manufacturer process defect or installed during assembly process.quality control inspection bypass.
Transmission shifts slow or hard, or occasionally doesn't "catch"... Then summer of 2013 at 73k on a very (first out of town trip in years) long trip the transmission wouldn't shift out of 1st or 2nd gear until the car cooled for a couple hours. Shifts alright most of the time for short trips down the street, but i can't drive out of town for fear of being stranded.
Transmission needs replacement. Advised by honda 3k.
At 65000 miles the transmission started slipping in 1st and 2nd gears. I started researching this on the internet because i felt that a reliable automobile like a honda accord shouldn't have a transmission go at such low millage. There were several hundred people that have the same year model honda accord with the same automatic transmission that have had the exact same problem at low millage. Honda of america knows that this is a defect in their product and refuse to do anything about it. It is not at all fair to their customers. I would like to see them step up to the plate and help us with this issue. I called them and the person i talked to was very rude and told me that it wasn't their problem and would not help in any way.
The transmission in my 2002 honda accord started to slip and shift very hard in the summer of 2007 with only about 53000 miles on it. It's causing me to drive somewhat erratically because it jumps into gear when i try to accelerate. I've drained and refilled the transmission fluid but haven't tried any repairs on it due to how much it would cost.
Transmission began surging and tcs light illuminated along with blinking 4th gear light. Shut vehicle off and restarted with no issues. Two days later problem occurred again in traffic. Pulled to side of road. Limped vehicle home in 2nd gear.
I have a 2002 honda accord ex that has continuously been having transmission issues including jerking in and out of gear revving up witout moving and switching gears. Also having noticed i forgot to put car in park and turned off my car taking keys out of gear. Both of these problems are big safety issues and have occurred since owning the car for two years. I am now faced with getting a new transmission on a car that had originally less then 100 thousand miles on it when purchased. I have also had to replace the head lights and brake lights 3 times since owning the car and i have never left lights on for an extended period.
Driving down road at 37mph transmission disengaged and engine started to rev high.lost all forward motion in vehicle. The transmission will continue to disengage when it heats up.i took it to honda dealer and they told me that the clutch had burned out.i found online that the transmissions may fail due to lack of thread-locking compound on nut for low clutch.
The contact owns a 2002 honda accord.in january of 2008, the contact noticed that the engine and traction control lights illuminated on the instrument panel.he turned off the vehicle in order for the lights to reset.he took to the vehicle to the repair shop and the mechanic diagnosed the issue as beginning symptoms of transmission failure.the dealer confirmed the diagnosis and stated that the transmission will need to be replaced.the repair cost for a new transmission was estimated at $2,800.the failure mileage was 58,000 and current mileage was 68,000.
Transmission stall and slipoccurs most often from stopped to moving or slowed down to acceleration.can occur in intersections when turning and the car just stops while the engine revs.generally when going from stopped to moving the engine revs and then the car jerks. Started happening at 65,000 miles on the odometer.
I went to honda of santa monica 3 times within several days or almost two weeks to fix a transmission coolant line.after 3 attempt replacing washer,gasket. The coolant line is still leaking but not as bad as before.they really tried hard with every effort to stop the trans leak.is it possible the coolant line surface is uneven? the coolant line could be defective due to manufacture process causing to leak from the source? i would like to have nhtsa to investigate thecoolant line leakage from the factory where they are manufacture.did quality control bypass the process inspection? there probably thousand of cars out there having the same problem out there and consumer are unaware of it.
I parked my auto in a business parking lot ,removed ignition key and exited vehicle. I was called to reception minutes later to be told that my vehilcle had rolled back hitting another vehicle which was occupied and parked.
I have a 2002 accord with the 3.0 v6. I was the second owner. When the car had about 72,000 miles on it, the transmission started slipping. It began slipping before the car went into 1st gear, then going into 2nd gear. It is dangerous when starting from a stop light in a busy intersection. I brought it to the local dealership and they estimated it to cost around $5,000. I didn't have that amount of money, nor did i trust the local honda dealership. So, i brought to a transmission shop, and ended up spending $3,016 to fix it. Why can't honda put a recall of these transmissions? i have gone many websites including edmunds.com, to find, this is a huge problem for thousands of honda customers. I drove only honda;s for many years. This will probable be the last one.ps, also my black paint is pealing off, and it is very embarrassing driving this car.
Transmission slippage and jerking when going into gear from a parked position as well as in motion. Several times my accord would stall because it would not go into gear. It was very embarrassing and dangerous when it happened because i delayed traffic during the rush hour and had my child on board.

Car having transmission problem on first gear slipping off going to higher gear.sometimes running 40-45 on the road experienced dis engaging from gear and engine goes on high revolution.dangerous for cars that is following behind you.
Has been making a hard shift since about 65000 miles, really noticeable yesterday at 94600 miles. Sometimes lose acceleration when driving.
2002 honda accord ex v6. The transmission was determined by holler honda to be terminal, meaning no good needing to be replaced. The danger occurs when you have to accelerate with the normal traffic flow and are unable to because of slipping and improper shifting. A accident waiting to happen. I'm sure there have already been accidents due to this by people who unaware of the severity of the problem. From what i've read this is a very common problem, honda has agreed to split the cost of the repair of $4,600, with my mom having alzheimer's and me no job that figure might as well be 4 million dollars. Please somebody help us with this problem.
Defective transmission casing seal leaking due to manufacturer process.one area portion was leaking areadeteriorate by not having contact two flat surface.i went to a honda dealership after 4 unsuccessful repair trip and charging me for unnecessary repair until the technician found out it was leaking from the casing seal. I'am just a unsatisfied customer for not getting the job right after 4 failure attempt. I'am not really not sure if the technician did the job right or not? but one thing for sure that i'am not coming back to that same place for future repair!
Electrical issues with lights,transmission has various issues after i've spent over $2,000 trying to get it fixed. The sensors go out or start acting up a short time after i've replaced them. The car will shut off and leave you to get hit because it takes seconds to minutes to get started again. Lights go on and off on their own.
Pulling away from an intersection (stop sign) vehicle hesitated due to transmission slippage causing vehicle to slow down and impede traffic in the intersection. This has happened on several occasions at both intersections and highway on-ramps.
Investigating some strange issues, pulling and clunks at speed and bumps, tranny issues and nose from the front of my car i decided to do an inspection. I took the passenger front wheel off and discovered rust holes right threw the rear beam of the front sub frame! iscompletely rusted out, this car is a safety hazard. It will not pass inspection in my state and my family and i are terrified to drive it. This honda has been in my family since new. And has been dealer maintained for all the major service over the past 11 years and this was never seen? its not like it just happened today in march of 2013! i looked around under the car and under the hood, i see the drain tube for the ac drips right on the spot the frame is rusted threw! then i took the drivers side wheel off and there is no rust at all! this is a tragic defect. What if the passenger side frame is to snap when i'm driving it? this is unbelievable that car in other wise pristine condition with only less than 91,000 would have this kind of rust and would have to suffer such a hideous flaw like this. I cant afford to fix this now. Its going to be well over $1500 and not only that my life and my family's life is priceless. Again the rear beam of the front sub frame is rusted threw due to the fact the ac drain tube drips directly on this spot. No other rust on the rest of the sub frame. Potential death trap.
On thanksgiving, i was driving my wife and two small children to dinner. I stepped on the accelerator to move onto a busy main road. The car went at first, then revved the rpm and was unable to catch the gear. My car was essentially paralyzed, half sideways with cars havingslam to a stop(they expected the car pulling into traffic to be moving-so did i).they eventually would go around creating more problems for other travellers. I let the car idle and eventually heard the gear catch so i was able to drive the car. Since then the transmission has been slipping. I have read numerous complaints re: this same problem. Apparently, honda is aware of the the transmission/torque converter problem but is not issuing a recall because it has not been deemed a safety issue. I believe it is due to the cost of the repair and they would rather stick the higher repair bill to their customers or let them risk their safety. The speed limits on our local roads avg between 45-55 mph. I believe it is a significant safety risk to have a car that might not accelerate past 15mph. As a healthcare provider who deals with rehabilitation, i can tell you i have seen significant injuries, paralysis and death due to accidents at lower speeds. I have since been hesitant to drive my car as i fear getting hung out for someone to crash into my vehicle. I ask you to view this website http://www.carcomplaints.com/honda/accord/2002/. It chronicles over 475 complaints. The2002-2003 show a significant problem with this transmission. If there are that many complaints in one online site, there are surely 20-50x more out there who are currently dealing with this problem(or will be soon) and are at risk. I do not know what has to happen to force honda to issue a recall, however i implore you to be proactive dealing with this before someone does get injured. Thank you for your time and attention.

I was driving along, with my foot on the accelerator, but the car lost power, it stopped going forward.i managed to make it to the side of the road.the car would accelerate, and then stop accelerating, and then begin again.going slowly, i managed to make it to the side of the road, and had the car towed to a honda service center, where they said i needed a new transmission.i had already replaced the transmission back in 2008.the new transmission had only 53,000 miles on it before it failed.so, a 2002 honda accord, with 115,000 miles is on its third transmission.so the one i had installed in 2008 only lasted 53,000 miles, so honda put a second crappy transmission in my car.they didn't fix the transmission safety problem.
Engine light came on for my 2002 honda accord, took it to my mechanic and error code p0780 (bad transmission) comes up.my car only has 33,804 miles.called honda and they will not help us.i cannot afford to replace my transmission and have to drive the car knowing it can just stop at any time.
Transmission severely slips leaving driver in on coming traffic, transmission also down shifts very hard. Extremely dangerous when crossing traffic,
Transmission is already jerking and slipping and out of warranty.
Transmission failure, it is clearly the fault of design and manufacturing.of course it is dangerous, how many accidents, injury and deaths will it take to fix the problem?
2002 honda accord developed problems with the transmission, and dashboard light sensors.*mrthe transmission was replaced 3 times. After the last visit to the dealer the ignition began to malfunction, after putting the gear into park sometimes the key would lock in, which would require the consumer to restart the vehicle, shift the gears place back into park and then pull the key out of the ignition.
I was driving on the highway and my transmission starting slippinand was sticking at 3000rpm's.i had brought the car to the honda dealer where i was told "it is still safe to drive, i dont need to replace the transmission at the time and to drive the car until transmission no longer works".i took the car home and had to jump on the highway, as soon as i did this the cars transmission would not shift and left me stranded with my children.i got the car home and then had a mechanic from our area look at the car and he immediatly had told me that there has been problems with the transmissions for this car and honda should never have told me it was safe to drive.i had to spend 2400.00 on a new transmission.honda needs to take care of this bill.
While driving on the high way coming from work. My transmission went out. I contacted honda dealership they said it would cost the sum of 400.00 to repair which i do not have.after reading all the complaints on this year honda, i have realized that this is a common problem and needs to be addressed and recalled for faulty transmission by honda. Please help with this issue. I am a us marine and i rely heavily on my car and transportation to work.
The contact owns a 2002 honda accord. The contact stated that the vehicle rolled without warning while the gear was in park. The contact called paul moak honda at 601-352-2700 (located at 802 harding st, jackson, ms 39202) and was informed that there was no recall. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 130,000.
My 2002 honda accord se with2.4 l 4 cyl has 95,000 miles.the transmission will sometimes slam intogear when going from park to drive and slips when the car goes from 1st gear to 2nd gear.when you roll into a stop and press the accelerator to go again the vehicle will slam into gear.when i do come too a complete stop, the transmission seems like it still wants to go and then hesitates and the slams into 1st gear again.other friends of mine with 2000-2001 accords with 80,000 to 100,000 miles are experiencing the same issue.
2002 honda accord transmission has failed at only 88000 miles.
When we drive on a highway at about 70mph, the check engine light on. After we check, the worker said it's about a transmission sensor problem and we can replace it after out weekend trip. But on the way back, the light is on again and the speed decreased from 70 mph to about 30-40 mph. If we add more oil, the engine will rotate at 4000-5000turn with great noise. So we have to drive at 30-40 mph speed. It's very dangerous because the car behind us have to turn left and passed us away because we let our urgent lights on. We don't know how to treat this problem. We think honda should recall these cars because it may induce incidents and dearth. Could you please help to let honda recall the transmission because it's really dangerous for drivers and passengers. I couldn't understand why honda produce such cars and after incidents they refuse to helpowner and don't want o recall them. I will never buy honda cars and more and more people dislike honda for their bad reputation. It's such a bad company.
2002 honda accord. Consumer writes in regards to airbag and safety campaign *tgwthe consumer stated the air bag light illuminated. The dealer cleared the code, but the next day, the light illuminated again. The dealer informed the consumer the transmission was leaking and one of the drive belts were not performing correctly.
I have a 2002 honda accord ex and the car jerks into gear, even going from 1st to 2nd gear.i am always worried taking off from a stop light because the car doesn't get into gear right away or take off smoothly.
Automatic transmission flares upon acceleration between 1st to 2nd gear/2nd to 3rd gear. Odbii codes p0730, p0740. This is my second transmission. The first transmission was replaced under a settlement agreement, however the same issues are arising yet again.

The contact owns a 2002 honda accord. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, the contact was able to remove the key from the ignition without shifting the transmission into park. The vehicle then rolled away and crashed into another vehicle. There were no major damages. The vehicle was then taken to an authorized dealer where they advised the contact that the interlock malfunctioned and needed to be replaced. The dealer also stated that the vin was not included in the recall associated with nhtsa campaign id number: 05v025000 (electrical system:ignition:switch) . The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 70,000 and the current mileage was 161,000.
Transmission has been slipping for several months. I took it in for major service and asked mechanic about slipping transmission. He pulled pending code 1730 gear ratio. 2002 honda accords were known to have major transmission problems as reported by consumer reports.
Transmission beginning to shift hard between 1st and 2nd gears.the symptoms sound exactly like all the other complaints posted around the internet four 6th generation honda accords.honda should recall these transmissions!
Transmission slipping and smoking, this has caused a hardship for our family due to the fact that this is our main mode of transportation. My wife is afraid to even drive the car and refuses to place our son in the car.
Transmission starting slipping between gears and jerking under moderate acceleration.
Original owner at 117,000 miles the transmission would jerk as the car accelerated. I had the transmission fluid flushed and replaced. This improved the response but didn't entirely fix it.at 120,725 miles now, this morning as i start the vehicle rolling, i notice a slow response for the transmission from a standing start. The d4 light that indicates that you are in drive is blinking.i found numerous complaints similar to mine online. It appears to me that the transmission for the 2002 honda accord is failing prematurely.
My transmission does not engage in drive when in the cold weather. After the car and restarting it starts working but check engine light was on. I took the car to the honda dealer and they called honda service dept. Supposedly, my ecu is faulty and needs replacement. But my transmission could also need replacement after fixing my ecu. Now i am afraid driving my car thinking what if transmission fails while i am on the highway.my transmission has already failed once at around 40,000 miles in 2005. I thought it was a one-time thing and got the repair done at that time. Unfortunately, my model accord v6 2002 was never the part of honda transmission recalls despite having exactly same problem.also, i do not trust honda check engine light codes. For years my srs light for passenger seat belt was always on. Everytime dealer told me that i ecu has failed. After driving my car for 5 years with unsafe conditions, honda finally had a recall of srs module and now it the light is gone. With the same ecu.
My vehicle has been shifting very inconsistently with large amounts of shaking in between 1st and 2nd gears and 2nd and 3rd gears. There are high revolutions in between gears and hesitation before shifts. There is also rattling around 1600 r.p.m. All problems relate to the transmission in this vehicle and transmission failure is impending. I do consider this a danger and it seems to be a regular occurrence with this vehicle and model. I do think there should be a recall considered with this transmission.
The contact owns a 2002 honda accord. While driving approximately 55 mph, the third clutch of the transmission failed and the vehicle failed to accelerate. After surging back and forth, the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was coasted to the right side of the road and towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the third gear of the transmission was faulty. The transmission was rebuilt. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The dealer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 119,000.
Immediately after coming to a full stop behind a car at a stoplight, the 2002 accord lurched forward, nearly rear ending the car in front of me. After full stop was complete, there was approximately 1-2 second delay between pushing the gas pedal and when the car engages in gear again and lurches forward. All other gear changes function normally. Check engine light is illuminated, and diagnostics reveal a p0780 (shift malfunction) code. Lurching after stops and after acceleration continue at every stop now.
Honda has a transmission design flaw in their early 2000 honda accords.i own a 2002 accord with 105,000 miles that requires a new transmission.i was surprised because this brand is known to be reliable.upon researching honda transmission problems online, i found several articles and multiple consumer complaints regarding honda transmission failure.honda did recall transmissions in certain models from 2003 and 2004.america honda knows they have a problem and they declined to assist me with the repair because my 2002 accord was not one of the recall models.i am now stuck with $3,000 repair bill for a new transmission.this is unfair, particularly since i bought the car brand new, purchased the extended warranty (which ended after 7 yrs.), and maintained my car regularly.honda needs to be held responsible.
Your urgent response and an action needed 1.request for an immediately recall for honda accord lx 2002 models as having dangerous transmission problems, widespread transmission failure, subframe rust, & problems with the airbag system (srs ), and overall the cars safety or quality numerous concerns.2.to fix the problems andrefund caused damages and personal injuriesdue to it, refundpaidpurchase costincluding damages, replace to a new car with includedpaidanddamagesoccurredto whom it may concern,2002 honda accordproblems & complaints carcomplaints.com notes: the 2002 honda accord suffers from widespread transmission failure, subframe rust, & problems with the airbag system (srs). We recommend avoiding this model year like the plague. The transmission begins slipping & eventually has to be replaced, typically soon after 90,000 miles & with a repair cost of over $2,000. Transmission failure has been a huge problem for the accord & several other honda models all through the early 2000s model years. Honda extended the transmission warranty to 93 months/109k miles for the 2000-2001 accord as a class action lawsuit settlement, but owners of other accord model years with transmission problems are out of luck.subframe rust near the front passenger side wheel has become a problem recently, due to the poorly positioned a/c drain hose directly above that area. Repair cost to the subframe is over $2,000.the srs warning light likes to come on due to a defective seat belt sensor -- typically the driver's side. This sensor is covered under honda's lifetime seat belt warranty, but some dealers charge a $100+ "diagnostic fee" or tell customers the entire srs unit ($800) is bad.

The contact owns a 2002 honda accord ex. The contact stated that while the vehicle was in drive, the contact was able to remove the keysfrom the ignition and the vehicle proceeded to roll forward. The vehicle was taken to the dealer but the manufacturer was not contacted. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 110,000 and the current mileage was 205,000.
The automatic transmission slips and jerks when shifting gears--it is worse when i stop, the engine idles, and then severely jerks when i accelerate, but the jerking motion also happens going up inclines. It is so bad, it has caused broken motor mounts. I have no doubt that the transmission is eventually going to fail, which could be hazardous while driving. Though i take good care of my car, i thought that maybe it was just older and the transmission was naturally failing, but doing some research, i found this to be a common problem with honda's transmissions in general, but particularly with the '02 accord. It has been happening since 2013, but i will put today's date as it still is happening. I feel like this issue is so prevalent among honda owners that honda really should do right by their customers and recall the transmission.
I was driving in traffic and my car's d4 light began blinking and when i would slow down to a complete stop the car would jerk before coming to a stop. I had to restart the car to get it to stop jerking. This has happened maybe 4 times before and i took it to someone and they said that the transmission could be going and i would need a new one. There are thousands of complaints about the transmissions on these older honda accords, and i think it is about time they do something to fix this issue.
Lost power and unable to safely control car.pulled into intersection and lost power in front of on-coming traffic.defective transmission, cars is unable to shift, may losepower or accelerate suddenly.well documented problem in honda transmission, unsafe to drive as power is unreliable and transmission can fail at any moment.honda already previously named in class action lawsuit, problems remain.honda refuses to acknowledge or repair.ntsb needs to order a recall for the safety of drivers and passengers.
The contact owns a 2002 honda accord. The contact stated that while driving, the steering wheel was very difficult to steer in either direction. Upon inspection, it was discovered that the power steering fluid was leaking unto the catalytic converters. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the power steering hose and pump were defective and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. Additionally, while driving a grinding noise was heard coming from the transmission and the transmission started to slip with the check engine warning light illuminated. The mechanic indicated that the transmission torque converter was defective and the transmission need to be rebuilt or replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The local dealer was not notified. The failure mileage was 80,000.
I was driving to work when the car suddenly stopped accelerating, the check engine light came on and the d4 light began blinking. I called the local honda dealer and they told me to turn the car off and back on to get the car running again. This worked and i was able to drive home. Then i drove the car to the honda dealer to be diagnosed. While driving my car on a very busy road with a 55 mph speed limit, it would not accelerate above 25 mph. It was a very dangerous and scary experience. After being diagnosed, honda told me the car needed a new transmission for $4100.00. Honda replaced the transmission in december of 2008 at 79,945 miles for $2400.00. The car now has 119,629 miles on it and when i contacted honda they told me that they would not help replace the transmission because the warranty period on the current transmission is 36,000 miles or 3 years. The representative from honda instructed me to contact the nhtsa and better business bureau as next steps.
Turning a corner of a busy intersection the car made a load wump thunk sound and stopped with the engine still running. Luckily, no one rear-ended me or knocked me into the policeman in the road conducting alicense check.
This vehicle, like many other hondas of this era, has the 1-2 gear shifting issue. It shifts very hard from first to second and even downshifting seems to be getting harder. The issue has been going on for a very long time, and at 200,000 miles, the car is to the point that i try to drive it only in second until the lower two gears are no longer needed. We've already replaced a mainshaft ($380), which could be related to the incident (slamming into gear over and over again). There is a 3-4 second lag changing directly into second gear. There is also a lag during normal operation. It's almost as if there's a gap in between 1 and 2 where the car almost appears to be in neutral for a moment of time. If triggered just right, applying extra throttle after the transmission has already started trying to shift (which isn't noticeable as the process initiates), the engine speed will rise as if in neutral and then will slam into gear. I actually had wheel spin at one point. This erratic behavior could cause an accident, as the vehicle will take off on me. If accelerating and the car is in 2nd, the car will not have much power, so then i will gradually give it more gas, only to have it downshift and then take off (wheels chirp and everything). If i let go of the gas it will slam into second and lurch a second time, which when braking is very annoying and severely affects the braking distance. I actually almost hit somebody this past week because of a very similar incident. This incident could cause an accident by losing control of the vehicle, especially in an environment with low traction (i live in chicago, we only have a few months of optimal driving conditions). Besides that fact, honda knows about the issue, and should have recalled this transmission years ago. Hondas used to be great, but this is really hurting their reputation with us.
For the steering, the power steering pump doesn't hold power steering fluid and when you go around a curve and there is a bump in the road, your steering wheel jerks the other way. It's way worse with no power steering but it is still there even if you have fluid. The transmission will jump in between first and second gear so roughly it feels like your transmission is going to fall out, sometimes you can't go because of it and it's almost caused some accidents. You can't get up to the speed you need to with it being so rough and jumpy. Then there is a ticking noise when i press on the gas peddle, from the timing belt and transistor. Some of these problems have been happening since i got the car, like the shifting and the steering. The ticking has been there but not as badly as it is now. I also know i'm not the only honda driver with these issues from this make and model and era for this car.
Bought this 2002 accord w/ 57k miles from pasadena honda dealership used selection on 10/23/09 and two years later w/ 95.5k the transmission started jerking from 1st to 2nd and out of reverse.check engine light came on.mechanic got no usable codes on the computer so did transmission service, but two days later, problem returned and 700 series codes appeared in diagnosis (torque converter gone bad - transmission needs replacing).d4 light also started flashing on the 3rd day after problem returned (on the way to the mechanic's!).$2800 is cost of 3 year warranty honda parts dept. Rbuillt transmission and $1100 labor.honda no longer offering any goodwill repair of any kind.honda has lost me as a customer for life.toyota rav 4 (previous car) drove to 215k without any transmission problem at all.finally got rearended and bought the used hondaaccord next.i've learned my lesson.toyota is a far superior product to honda at all levels.be warned!
The contact owns a 2002 honda accord v6. While driving approximately 40 mph, the transmission began to hesitate with a delayed response when applying the accelerator pedal. The failure recurred three times. In addition, the transmission gears slipped continuously. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where the transmission was replaced twice within four years. In 2007, the failure recurred and the transmission required replacement. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 29,000.
Wheniam traveling with my and my wifebecause of transmission problem in my honda accord 2002gears are not changing .as honda company know abt thistransmission issue ( like know issue) and for fixing this we need to spend almost 5000$ .but we can't ifhonda company know this is common issue why they are not recalling those types of cars.
When i purchased my 2002 ex honda accord in 2015; i thought i was getting a reliable dependable car.honda is know for its reliability but little did i know that the whole sub-frame (front & back was fully rusted). My srs warning light comes on quite often.the a/c drain i strongly believe was installed improperly which causes the sub-frame to rust and crack. I bought the car with only 82,358 miles and purchased a extended warranty through honda dealership which my powertrain only covered up to 90,000 miles.i had taken the car for its first oil change which was at 91,000 miles and all of a sudden i started to have powertrainproblems.even though on my bill of sale it stated as is honda dealership knew that a customers such as myself would look under the body of the car.i went online and have read numerous complaints about the same problem i was having with this model & year.also theirextended warranty problem was an issue.why is the federal government & states allowing honda to sell a car with improperly installed a/c drain,sub-frame rotting & crack issues, transmission failure, defective seat belt sensor. I pray that no one dies from this vehicle.1999-2002 models. I'm a mother of four with a non-curable disease and i just want my car to be fully repaired at the expense of honda. Driving on the highway and turning is dangerous for me to be operating but this is my only means of transportation.my mechanic has to me i shouldn't have purchase this vehicle but i didn't realize that honda would do there customers wrong like this just for a profit!!!!
Vehicle's transmission began to fail causing the vehicle to shift hard and harshly which caused the vehicle to lurch dangerously forward causing a sudden loss of control.failure of this vehicle's transmission is common, widespread and a known defect by honda motor company.the failure of this vehicle's transmission puts the driver and public at immediate peril for a crash involving possible serious injury or death.this vehicle's transmission defect condition leaves the vehicle's driver and any passengers in the vehicle highly vulnerable, at the time of failure, in an extremely dangerous and uncontrollable position within an untrustworthy unreliable vehicle subject to the ominous perils of the road at the time of failure.the nhtsa must issue an immediate recall mandating honda motor company repair and/or replace the defective transmission at honda motor company's expense.at a minimum the nhtsa's recall should require honda motor company to provide an extension of the vehicle's warranty requiring honda motor company to repair and/or replace the dangerously defective transmission in this vehicle and reimbursement to vehicle owners costs for repair and/or replacement of the defective transmission.request is made to the nhtsa for immediate action.
As soon as the car hit 80000 the gears change very ruff from 1st to 2nd and the car will jump like the transmission is slipping but car is still going and still does that with now over 290,000 miles. Upon taking it to the dealer they say nothing is wrong with it. We purchased the car new in 2002.

The transmission is failing, shifting hard and slowly, especially at slower speeds.it occurs every time i drive the car.have not gotten the transmission replaced yet.
I bought my used 2002 honda in 2003 with 15,000 miles because i heard hondas were great cars.i did not have any major problems with the car other than the engine light coming on and needing a switch replaced.over the last several months, i noticed the transmission slipping, but i thought this is a honda with less than 100,000 and that the transmission could not possibly be going out.on april 18, 2008, the transmission began to slip badly and the check engine light came on.i took the car to my mechanic.he checked the car and said that i needed a new transmission.before he started the repair, he mentioned that his daughter also had a 2002 honda with 66,000 miles and that honda had replaced her transmission at no charge.he also mentioned that many of the hondas manufactured during this period were having transmission failure because only one filter was placed on or in the transmission.this caused dirt to filter back into the transmission, which could lead to the transmission failing.he made a phone call to honda and was told that they would not replace my transmission because the car had 96,000 miles.i wrote a letter to honda and a customer service representative called me several days later and said that honda would review my complaint and let me know if they would stand behind the transmission.a couple of days later, honda called me back and said that they could not compensate me for my transmission repair.since my transmission failed, i have talked to two other honda owners that had to replace their transmissions.i believe that honda should stand behind their cars and compensate individuals who had to replace their car's transmissions.my total repair bill for the transmission replacement was $3,100.
Noticed fluid on driveway. Brought car to mechanic, where we were told the transmission needed to be replaced. We had bought the car new in 2001 and it had only 78,000 miles on it. It ended up costing us close to $1,900.00 to fix.
1. There were no events leading up to the failure of a transmission.2. The transmission failed in the middle of the interstate during traffic instantaneously. This event led to a non responsive throttle and once responsive would led to a jolt of enormous whiplash. This led me to a deposition of trying not to get hit from cars behind for not accelerating correctly and hitting the car in front of me from the jolt. Also when my car would come to a stop it would jolt forward. With the transmission failure occurring at such a random time it forced me into the most dangerous situation i have experienced in any vehicle. 3. The vehicle, honda accord, has only 85000 miles on it and talking to many different specialist they all state how abnormal it is for a transmission to fail. The vehicle is currently be service to fix the problem.
D4 flash / transmission slipping and lurching / bucking.
I own a 2002 honda accord ex v6 and as of 2009 i am at approximately 60k. Now the transmission needs to be replaced. This is a known manufacturer defect, and honda settled a lawsuit for only the 1998-2001 models, extending the warranty. Hundreds of 2002 accord owners are experiencing the same issues as the 98-01 owners. Honda corporate refuses to cover replacing the defective transmission. While driving the vehicle my transmission slipped in first gear and i almost caused a pile up on the freeway. This vehicle is a safety hazard and has an obvious defect. Honda must take responsibility for this problem before someone gets killed in an automobile accident. My grandparents drive this vehicle and give rides for my younger cousins. If they get in an accident from this transmission failure and get injured or killed honda will be solely responsible. I previously alerted honda over 1 year ago about this defect, but they only recommended a transmission flush and sent me along disregarding my complaints. Honda must recall all 2002 models or extend the power train warranty for these vehicles like they have for 1998-2001 models. The redesigned 2002 transmission is failing left and right like the previous models and it is an obviously danger. Considering that 600,000 honda accords of the same year are on the road we are looking at a major catastrophe. Thank you,james h. Kwon
The transmission on my 2002 honda accord started failing before it reached 100,000 miles. When i press the gas to accelerate the rpm's rev up to 4 and it jerks into gear. I don't understand why this is happening when honda's are suppose to be reliable cars. That's why i bought it. I am under the impression that the honda manufacturers used a different company to supply transmissions for the honda accords made between 2000-2003. If this is true then some investigations should be done and honda should have to pay to replace the transmissions on all the honda's that have problems with their transmissions made in between those years.
I have a honda accord 2002 v4 v-tec. While driving this car the transmission slips and jerks violently. When i am trying to pass another car and accelerate the car will jerk violently and slow down. This also happens when i am stopped at an intersection and try to accelerate. The car will jerk and slow down. I've noticed many complaints regarding the transmission of the 2002 honda accord and am very disappointed in honda. I brought the car on a couple of occasions to honda and they said there are no problems with the transmission which is obviously a misdiagnose. Before a wreck and injury happensi would like this replaced for free by honda. I will be documenting this submission and hope to hear back from you.
I have a honda accord 02'. The transmission slips like crazy and i drive the car like its an angel. No matter how fast or slow i accelerate from a stop the transmission will thump switching gears. When i go to pull out into traffic it take the trans a second to catch leaving me rolled out in the road for a few and i don't know if one day its not gonna catch and i get hit. I would like a recall on this its super dangerous!
The contact owns a 2002 honda accord. While driving and trying to accelerate the transmission jerked and slipped in and out of gear. The dealer was not notified. The manufacturer was not notified. The vin was unavailable. The failure mileage was 124,000.
2002 honda accord 2.3l 4cyl automatictransmission failed around 110,000. One week ago, the transmission startedslipping and jerking. I brought it to dealership for inspection. I was told the transmission need to replace. I called honda customer service and a guy toldme my car is out of warranty. I found this is a very common and safety-related problem. Over 50% complaints are from 2002 4cyl models. Honda should recall or provide extended warranty. This is a design defect. Honda must be responsible for it.
The transmission in my 2002 honda has failed causing jerking and hesitation while making turns and or starting and stopping in traffic. This is the same transmission that was recalled on the 2001 hondas and given an extended warranty but nothing is being done for the 2002 honda. Thousands of2002 are having transmission failures between 50,000 and 80,000 miles on them. Honda is charging between $2500.00 and $4000.00 for transmission replacements.
I bought a 2002 honda accord 2dr ex v6 new around dec '01. The day after delivery i noticed a whining sound around 40-45mph. I practically begged the sales mgr to let me do an even trade... He said no (albert fieto). Honda replaced the transmission under warranty but the same problem appeared about a year later. It is just at the right sound level where it drives me nuts but the tech from the dealer can't hear it; my wife hears it as well. There is no excuse for the same problem appearing twice on a new car.i fell like i threw away 25k! i real feel honda should replace the vehicle.
On april 6 and july 1 of this year i was traveling at 70 mph on the interstate when a loud explosion occurred.the first time i thought i must have hit something or been near a gunshot.when the same thing happened months later the noise sounded as though it was in the cabin with me.no warning lights, difficulty in handling, or visible damage has appeared.the noise is sudden, without warning, and immense--ringing in ears an hour later--not to mention frightening.we replaced tires in june, and all regular maintenance has been done on schedule.there was a transmission problem when the car was brand new-a clunking noise-which was difficult to diagnose, and required extended days in the shop (nearly four of the first six weeks owned).it was finally eliminated when the shop "dismantled" the car, drained transmission fluid (twice) and did assorted other "fixes".i have contacted the service department concerning the explosions, but they have no suggestions.in about 3 weeks the odometer will be at the same mileage as between the previous two booms, would really like someone else to be with me if it happens again.
I purchased my 2002 honda accord v6 ex in 2005. When the car reached about 55k miles a couple months ago the transmission started badly slipping. It had been slipping since about 45k miles but became much worse at 55k. Took it to multiple mechanics, and transmission shops. The final diagnosis was that the transmission was out and would have to be replaced. I was forced to purchase a re-manufactured transmission from a honda dealer. Total cost of repairs $2345.30. There was a recall the 2001 models that covered the exact problems. My 2002 was not part of this recall, and because i had not purchased an extended warranty i was forced to pay for the entire cost of repair.
I have a 2002 honda accord ex-l v6 purchased in 2004 with 20,000 miles.at about 90,000 miles, the transmission has started slipping and jerking. I am very unhappy and it is going to cost a lot of money to repair.
Stopped at traffic light, when light changed, although lightly pressing on gas, the car would lunge forward. Fortunately, there was not a car behind me and a distance between the car in front of me; otherwise could have resulted in serious accident. Would randomly lunge forward from a stopped position. Also, when stopped on small incline; would slip as if pulling before transmission would kick in. Only 69,000 miles but required replacing the transmission. Honda 2002 accord. Although some 2002 were recalled, advised by honda my car was not eligible due to plant where it was manufactured. However, this transmission was definitely defective.
At transmission failure slipping.
The transmission in the 2002 honda accord is slipping and jerking. I understand that there are many complaints regarding this issue and trying to get a recall on this problem. This is the second one i had to replace.
2002 honda accord lx 4 cylinder with 108,000 miles.transmission began slipping and clunking, primarily when accelerating from a stop.this was a safety issue, because transmission would slip, then catch suddenly causing car to lurch forward while driving.once condition started, it was constant, but worse when engine was warm.transmission was evaluated by a specialist and repaired.the problem was a torque converter that was bad.it caused the entire transmission to fail.the transmission had to be rebuilt at a cost of $2,671.10.
Car began jerking on highway as my wife was driving.check engine light came on and transmission drive light began blinking.transmission was checked and diagnostic code p0740 was displayed.transmission was serviced and shortly after the check engine light came back on.the car was checked at a different shop and diagnostic code p0740 was again displayed.the mechanic stated the new transmission fluid was already burnt and printedhonda hotline archives that documented transmission defects in prior years, and a class action lawsuit that extended transmission warranties from several previous years through 2001 to 100,000 miles.a honda dealer verified this code and i was given a 15% discount on the repair, a rebuilt transmission with a 36,000 mile warranty, even though this car had 73,000 miles,was meticulously maintained with records and driven by a middle aged couple exclusively.total out of pocket expenses were greater than $2,600.00.
Transmission failure on 2002 honda accord.
2002 honda accord with 115,000 miles; 15000 over warranty; check engine light came on last wk.; while on interstate car began to shake.took in and honda reports it needs new transmission.reports no longer under warranty.problem is:this problem is a recurring problem that puts those that continue to drive these cars in danger.because of the high number of complaints; not to mention the fact that the 2000 and 2001 models have been recalled and have the same exact transmission as the 2002, this vehicle should be recalled.i am ashamed that honda is not standing behind their product!!!
2002 honda accord is slipping in 2nd gear.honda says it's an internal transmission failure yet honda's repair shop told me that they have had a large amount of accords come in with the exact same problem.in fact, there was an accord v6 there at that time with the same problem.i called honda's recall dept. But they told me that since there was no direct "safety issue" that there would not be a recall on the transmission.i feel that there is a transmission defect and that is the reason why a large amount of other people are having the exact same problems.honda said they would pay for 75% of my repairs for a rebuilt trans.i would still have to pay 500.00.this does not seem reasonable to me sinceall accord v6 models are receiving new (rebuilt) trans. Due to a recall.i have a 4 cylinder and feel it should also be a part of the recall. *la
I am a naval officer, single parent, faithful tax payer, and a foster mom.i come to you today with a complaint about my honda accord automobile (2002 ex v6 engine) to which i am the original owner, and the service i received from american honda and hoehn honda of carlsbad ca. Up until this point, i have not had many issues with my honda. My honda accord 2002 was a wonderful car, my very first new car, which i was the origional owner, finances, and so on. I drove this car off the lot without even 1 mile on the dash, and the dealership told me by law they had to put at least 1 mile on the dash, in order to sell the car, and they allowed me to put that 1 mile on the dash. I bought this car with the intentions of keeping well past 400k miles, and possibly passing it onto my son as his first car, which would of given me the security that i was passing him something reliable, and something i know he would have little to no major out of pocket expenses for, and clearly at the time that was the repartition that hondas had'now, i would not give this car to anyone, knowing what i know. Before all of this occurred, i was basically drive my honda to and from work, to and from my kids school, and in and around daily travels, with exception to occasional family outings. I recently paid this car off, and since this time, i have come out of my pocket with all kinds of unforeseen expenses and enough is enough. My first experience with my 2002 honda accord's transmission occurred was when i was driving at 35 mph and the car bucked in ongoing traffic and completely stalled. I was amazed because, my car had not did this before, and it was terrifying considering i had my kids and 2 of their friends in the car, and it did a number on our necks. Now, my honda accord 2002 now begins to slip every time i pulled off at the light, stop sign, and so on. Honda's transmission started slipping out of gear, jerking, and while driving at a speed of 45-60 mph my car would start to increase speed.
Transmission constantly slips when accelerating. This is concerning because i cannot depend on my car to accelerate when i need to. I've taken the car to the dealership for repair and am awaiting their feedback.
2002 honda accord: 2 codes were pulled p0700 & po740....... American honda non responsive with myself or honda dealer. Vehicle has 76474 miles.
Transmission started jumping from 1st to 2nd.i was advised not to give the car to my16 yr old daughter cause it could stop working in the middle of highway. I had to get transmission rebuilt at aamoco for 2000.00 dollars.i thought hondas were suppose to last and be better than other cars.
I own a 2002 honda accord 4-dr sedan. I am now at 51,000 miles and have been experiencing transmission slipping. I called honda today and they said that my car is no longer warranted but that 2000-2001 honda got a 7yr/100k mile extended warranty for free. I am dismayed by honda's decision to not help me pay for this repair as i know i am not alone in this complaint and there are many many many people with the same problems. I am hoping that nhsta will be able to help me out. Thank you.
I was driving my 2002 honda accord with 68,600 miles up the ortega highway between lake elsinore and san juan capistrano (this is a rather curvy, steep road) and i stepped on the brake to slow down and the car lurched and when i stepped on the gas it wouldn't accelerate immediately, just kind of lurched again.did this a couple times before it would really get going again and then the engine was revving in high gear.gears did not change.i later stopped to turn around and the car would not go in reverse.when i finally got home to san diego i took it in to my mechanic and he said i needed a new transmission.he suggested i take it to the dealership for a second opinion.they agreed.my problem is that the car has been well maintainedand it shouldn't be needing a new transmission.hondas normally run well into the mid to high 100,000 mileage range before needing new transmissions.the cost of the repair is $3500.00 which is alot of money for me.i believe the car is a lemon.and it posed a safety issue for me while i was on the road.
This is an update to the safety complaint that i submitted yesterday.i just had an update from the transmission shop about my vehicle. In the initial inspection, they missed the fact that a baring spun out and said this was the actual cause of the transmission going out and that this is a design flaw. The baring part was 91007-pcj-003. They also said that the secondary idle gear was another main component that was part of the problem.
The contact owns a 2002 honda accord. The contact stated that the engine shut off due to transmission failure. Honda confirmed that the transmission was defective. The manufacturer agreed to pay 50% of the repair cost; however, the contact wants them to pay for the entire repair. The failure mileage was 91,000.
The contact owns a 2002 honda accord.the contact stated that the vehicle would slip and jerk when he shifted or attempted to shift.occasionally, the vehicle jerked forward after accelerating from a traffic light.the failure has worsened and is occurring more frequently.his wife also stated that the vehicle would become stuck in the turn when turning the steering wheel.the manufacturer was unable to assist because the vehicle was out of warranty.the dealer has not been notified.the current mileage was approximately 80,000 and failure mileage was approximately 75,000.
I have a 2002 honda accord ex model with an automatic transmission that should have been recalled. At 60k miles, it started to act up, and now it slams between 1st and second or second and third gears.
I currently own a 2002 honda accord with 12,744 miles on it. My car starts to jerk when i am accelerating. Sometimes when i am at acomplete stop it feels like some one has hit my car from the back, and it then jerks before it is able to move.
I purchased a brand new 02 honda accord se 4-cycl for approximately $22,000.in 2007 i began to notice a severe jerking when shifting from 2nd to 1st gear. I took it into the honda dealer to get the transmission fluid replaced and mentioned that it was jerky. They replaced the transmission fluid and stated that everything else was fine. The jerking continued to occur. Approximately 1 year later i notice my car revving while in first gear. Today my car has indicated transmission failure and is no longer usable. I am currently without my vehicle for transportation to work and i now must pay for a new transmission. The automatic transmission design is faulty as it should not have failed at 138,000 miles; especially as a honda. The transmission should be recalled because now i must pay thousands of dollars to replace a component that should not have failed prematurely when properly maintained.
Approx 3 months ago, the transmission started intermittently to jerk and slip gears when coming to a stop or slowing down and then it would hesitate to start.it continued at a slow pace then all of a sudden it became more frequent, loud jerking noises, slipping/disengaging gears and hesitating to start.i no longer felt safe in the care.took it to the honda dealer with no personality or customer service skills the best deal they offered they would pay 25% after i told them i had a case # assigned from honda america.they made a statement that if the district manager knew that i had used a non hondatransmission fluid in the past couple of years he would not have given me this good deal.he more or less blamed the fluid for the transmission problems.i have always gone to a reputable mechanic for pms therefore the fluid was not the cause of the transmission problems especially after reading all the complaints mentioned hereand other consumer complaint sites.
While driving 55 mph, the vehicle decelerated rapidly.the check engine light came on and the traction control system light illuminated.the vehicle was taken to the dealer, who informed the consumer that the transmission did indeed fail.the dealer agreed to repair the problem.
Transmission slipping from 2nd and 3rd gear. I took it to honda dealer and notify the problem they want $3500 to fix this. I know some people have similar problem with this car. This transmission problem should have been recalled long time ago.
Had car serviced as per manual at honda dealership.last service, i was told to have transmission fluid changed.did that.reported within a couple days that the transmission seemed to occasionally shift hard.asked to bring back in for check.did this. Dealer kept car for 2 days, ran tests, said no problems noticed.picked up car, noticed within an hour again occasional slips on transmission.drove it for about a month, transmission failed.honda usa said "not their problem", dealer said "not their problem".i am very upset as this car was in excellent (garaged) condition.
As i was driving on the highway, the tcs light and check engine light turned on.the green light around the d started blinking. I brought it to my mechanic who stated that it was a transmission problem but being that my car only has 60k miles on it, i find that hard to believe. I called the dealership who stated that i wasn't under warranty and that it would cost about $2500 to replace.i've just read through a few websites with discussion boards regarding the 2002 accord and it seems that there are many people who are having this problem with their transmissions. The dealer told me that the 2002 accords have not been recalled but i also read that the 2001 accords were recalled due to the transmission problem. Many people, including myself, cannot afford a new transmission and i feel that honda should do something about this. We should not have to fear for our safety as well as other's safety when honda clearly has a problem here.
I turned on the car and the transmission had failed. 100k miles.
Transmission on my 2002 honda accord would go to a very high rev and then jerk and shift very hard.this would happen on and off for about a month until one day it just would not shift into a higher gear. That's when i decided to pull into the nearest honda dealership to have them diagnose the problem. My fears were realized when they told me it was an internal transmission failure and that it would cost $3,000 to put in a new one. After searching the web, i found out that this is a common occurrence among early 2000 model accord owners. I previously owned an 2003 honda odyssey and had to have the transmission assembly replaced twice!! fortunately i was able to trade that in'06 for a 2004 chevrolet suburban which i've been very pleased with so far. I'm currently looking into contacting honda customer service regarding the "goodwill repair" assistance, however, what good would that do if the problem would happen to occur again?!! given the track record on these honda transmissions it will happen again.so please nhtsa, help us out and require honda to cover all costs towards repairing these defective transmissions.
Honda replaced the transmission and engine for a 2002 honda accord.the transmission went out again.they will not fix it.i found out that there was no recall for this problem, but honda would fix it if questioned the cost.they put in the same transmission that was bad in the first place.i had to buy a new car.a friend of mine has the same problem and they are replacing the transmission.why is there no recall for this?
The contact owns a 2002 honda accord ex v6. The contact stated that when attempting to accelerate uphill the tracking warning light illuminated on the instrument control panel, then the vehicle rolled backward. He was able to safely stop the vehicle. The dealer was notified and the technician acknowledged that there was a problem with the transmission for his model; however, he added that because the warranty expired they would not assume responsibility. He is in the process of having the vehicle repaired. The failure mileage was 99,000 and the current mileage was 122,000.
2002 honda accord, transmission problems.the automatic transmission, jerks, slips, refuses to engage and drops gears when slowing to a stop.it is an accident waiting to happen either when pulling out in traffic or stop in traffic.
I was told 2 years ago by a honda dealership that a solenoid was defective in the transmission. Solenoid was replaced but problems did not go away completely. Transmission would shift, but hard and with great delay in 1st gear. I returned to 2 other dealerships but was told that the car did not have an issue. I will not travel with the car as i am afraid the transmission will fail when it gets hot as it did the 1st time when i was 300 miles from home. I recently took the car to a local transmission shop whom i trust and was told this is a common occurrence with this make and model. I was also told that a recall was issued but i never was notified by mail or phone even though this is a 1 owner car.
Transmission started slipping, would slip out of gear, would shift hard or not at all, lights on dash revealed something wrong with brakes...did as manufacture suggested turning off car and restarting...lights went off...few days later check engine light came on...took it to dealership...they told me $5000 i need to replace transmission.
The contact owns a 2002 honda accord.while driving approximately 35 mph, the transmission shifted with extreme force when the vehicle began changing gears.the failure began intermittently in march of 2008, but now occurs every time the vehicle is driven.the transmission was replaced in 2005 and the failure is recurring three years later.the cost to replace the transmission was over $4,000.the contact does not expect to pay for this repair every three years.the vehicle was manufactured in2001; therefore, the recall for the 2001 accord should apply to her vin.the first repair was covered by an extended warranty.the dealer stated that the part was from a junk yard; however, if she paid for the previous repair, the part would have been of better quality.a mechanic stated that honda is known for having transmission failure and that the contact should only allow a honda dealer to make the repairs.the vin, engine size, and failure mileage were unknown.the current mileage was 79,445.
I have a 2002 honda accord coupe with 92,000 miles on it. I just found out today that the transmission is bad and needs to be replaced. When i searched the internet, i found out this is a really common problem with honda accords - specifically 2002 models. I'm extremely disappointed as i have always had hondas based on their purported reliability. With all of the complaints, why hasn't honda recalled or extended the warranty on the transmission?
2002 honda accord ex v6 with 63,000 miles has defective automatic transmission.vehicle will not accelerate smoothly, making merging onto highway and local roads continuously hazardous.took vehicle to schaumburg honda on 6/1/2009 and they confirmed the transmission is starting to fail.honda has recalled automatic transmissions for 1998-2002 accords but they tell me that my vin is not included.first started noticing this problem at around 55,000 miles, but was unaware of the cause of the hesitation on acceleration.
At close to 160k miles, experienced harsh shifting between gears. Check engine light indicated an issue with the transmission. Only option is to replace with new transmission.
When the stop light changes to green and i press on gas pedal the wheels spin and it takes seconds before the car accelerates due to transmission slipping. It also jolts and many times very strongly, and scares my child in the back seat and the passengers in the car.the cars that came behind me aftrer the light changed almost hit me. When i leave work and exit the steep ramp in the public parking garage, the wheels spin while i desperately press the gas pedal. Iam constantly scared the car will roll back into the line of cars waiting behind me. The honda 2002 transmission has serious problems and it should be recalled. The problems started shortly after i bought the car, and the dealer replaced the transmission at 26000 miles, under the warranty. However, within a couple of months the problems started again. For the past 4 years i continued to bring the car to the dealer for service and explained the problem but they insisted there is nothing wrong with tha car. At 106,000 i took it to a new dealer to change transmission fluid and i was advised i need a new transmission and that i have to pay for it because now it is no longer under warranty.
I own a 2002 honda accord. As with other honda owners there have been transmission problems. Honda settled a class action lawsuit for their problem transmission vehicles up to 2001. This problem carries over into their later models. My problem as well with many others is that it slips between shifting gears. I have taken into numerous dealers and transmission shops with no one able to help. Honda america does not offer any help with this situation. Other than replacing the entire transmission. This website is one of many that has the same complaint as myself.http://www.hondaproblems.com/accord/transmission-failure.shtmlcan you please help us in forcing honda to issue a recall on their defective transmissions.
2002 honda accord. Consumer states premature transmission failure .*tgwthe consumer stated the transmission began slipping and eventually had to be replaced.the second transmission was also defective and had to be replaced. In june 2011, the transmission began slipping again.

2002 honda accord coupe ex, 4 cyltransmission engaging late when going into 2nd gear and sometimes 3rd gear. Happens most often when the car is cold.
My 2002 honda accord ex doesn't shift out of first until it goes into limp mode (very hard shift). The d light then begins to blink and my check engine light comes on. If i am on a hill the car will roll backwards while in drive and my car isn't a standard. I do not feel safe if a car is behind me. I have had it looked at and all i have found was it may be a solenoid or just a faulty transmission. It happens every day. During the winter months it isn't as bad but it still occurs.
My accord has 115,000 and i have taken impeccable care of it. I was driving from baltimore, md to myrtle beach, sc for a week long vacation. While on i-95, the car began jerking and the rpms were fluctuating rapidly, but the car was not picking up. Then, i noticed a funny odor. I pulled off the road at a rest stop and let the car cool off. My husband checked the fluid levels and everything seemed normal. We tried to get back onto the interstate again, and it began jerking rapidly and the check engine light came on. We then drove to the nearest exit, and went to a garage where it was then towed 30 miles to the honda dealership. I was told that the torque converter solenoid had failed and i would need a remanufacturedtransmission (at the cost of $2800.00). I have contacted honda customer care after looking online and noticed that this was a common issue with hondas.
Transmission slips at low speed; dealer said transmission needs to be replaced for $3,000 plus tax and shop supplies; 2002 accord has 38,668 miles and has been well maintained; service advisor said car is old, causing need for new transmission; incredible poor service from ed morse honda in west palm beach, fl; service advisors said no recall or defect bulletins on automatic transmission; i said it seems very strange that transmission would need to be replaced after 38,688 miles but service advisor offered no further explanation.said i must pay.
Tcc circuit malfunction.
While driving into work my transmission started to shift improperly and the engine started to rev up during shifting process which could of caused me to run into the back of another car... After looking this issue up it appears that honda has a extreme defect with transmission issues from 98-03 and are doing absolutely nothing about it. When the transmission causes the honda to shift wrong the engine will rev up when shifting which on bad weather conditions or regular driving conditions can cause a serious accident. Another thing is when you are stopped at a red light and it turns green the car can stall for a brief moment and then rev forward which can cause whiplash to the driver and or passengers in the vehicle.i just purchased my honda accord coupe se on 9/26/10 and already i am having this transmission issue and when i took it to honda they told me that the transmission is leaking out transmission fluid all over the bottom of the vehicle and was told it would cost 2890 from honda to fix. My co workers transmission dropped in her honda accord causing her car to come to a complete stop in the middle of the road.... Please note this is a immediate safety concern considering if you are on the expressway someone including the driver could die.

2002 honda accord transmission slipping, dealer quoted around $3-4k.
Dt*: the contact stated that the vehicle was having a problem with the transmission and was taken to an independent mechanic who determined that the transmission problems were a manufacturer defect and the transmission would need to be rebuilt and repaired.the vehicle was serviced by the independent mechanic because the dealer and manufacturer were called who stated that the vin was not included in therecall. The manufacturer also stated that reimbursement for the repairs to the transmission would not be provided because the vehicle was not taken to the dealer for service.
The auto transmission has problem with 1st and 2nd gear. When car moves slowly at 20 miles or less, a rough down shift startsfrom the 2nd gearto 1st gear thatmakes car jerking. Took it back to a honda dealer for a checkbut they could not duplicate the problem. The problem still randomly shows up when car is driven in the 25 miles/h zone.
When releasing the brake, the vehicle rolls backwards. Dealer notified.ph
At only 84,000, the transmission went bad in my 2002 honda accord se, 4cyl.the local honda dealer said it would cost $3200 to repair it saying that the 2nd pressure switch and the tc clutch system were bad in the transmission.they advised that i contact honda of america at 800-999-1009.i did, but hoa is saying that since i did not have my honda serviced at a honda dealer, there is nothing they can do toward the cost of this repair.needless to say, i bought this car for my daughter to go off to college in thinking it was a good car with a good honda name.however, i no longer believe in a honda.not sure what to do about the repairs.i've seen over 150 complaints about 2002 honda accord transmissions on the internet from others.why does honda not recall the 2002 transmissions--like they did in the class action law suit of the 2000 and2001 honda transmissions which were bad and had the same transmission?
I purchased a 2002 honda accord in march of 2005. In mid august i noticed the transmission slipping. I took it to the dealership and they said the transmission needed to be replaced. The car has 80k miles on it, and has had regular scheduled maintenance by the dealer. They said that they had problems with 1998-2001 transmissions but they fixed the problem. 2002 models have the same motor and transmission with "upgrades"., yet my car was not the only one with this problem. There was another accord with less miles and a bad transmission. Honda said that my car didn't qualify for the extended warrany that they issued for the previous years with the same problem. They told me that there was no problem with that transmission so it would be $5,000 dolars for a new transmission. I have owned 4 hondas previously and have never had a problem like this before. This is ridiculous.
Check engine light comes on & turns off every so often for about 2 months. Took car into dealership & they said it came back with an undiagnostic code. On the 3rd month check engine light came on & stayed on. A couple weeks after i felt the transmission slipping & jerking. I called the car dealership to report the problem & they said due to me not purchasing warranty when i purchased the car less than 4 months ago, it was going to be pretty expensive to fix. I'm still searching around for an affordable transmission fix. For the meantime, i'm having to warm up my car for 15-20 minutes before driving it to prevent less jerking & slipping when i accelerate. I feel honda should put a recall on this make & model (2002 accord auto trans) as there are many people out there aside from myself with this expensive problem.
2002 honda accord with automatic transmissiontransmission started slipping after 64,000 miles and is a known defect in this year model car. I started slipping in first gear and then in first and second gears. I started doing some research and this is an issue with many customers and honda refuses to help resolve the issue. I called honda of america and they told me they knew nothing about this issue and refused to help with it. I did a search on google for "2002 honda accord transmission issues" and found people had the same problem.
Transmission on 2002 honda accord ex v-6 failed at just under 100,000k. Incident happened on busy highway and put myself and passengers in serious risk. Honda accepts no liability for an obvious defect in equipment.
Check engine light came on took it to dealer was told it needed transmission replaced at a cost of $3700.car had been slow in shifting gears and some jumping when stopped in traffic. Veh. 2002 honda accord v6 with only 69,300 miles.
My car did not show any warning signs of failure until i was driving on the highway then the transmission started slamming into gear as i accelerated causing lurching. I had to send my honda accord 2002 to the repair shop for a new transmission at only 85000 miles. All the transmission dealers i communicated with stated that they have never heard of a transmission breaking at such low mileage.
Transmission failing- check engine light is on, tcs light is on, d4 light flashes, smell of burnt transmission fluid while driving, car lunges and hesitates constantly in 2 & 3rd gears (creating a potential crash hazard because you don't know when it will lunge or hesitate).i took the car to the dealer for inspection back in aug of 2008, they said it was a failing transmission and it would need to be replaced for $3000.today 6-12-09 i called american honda motors consumer line and they would not help since there is not a recall out on this year and model.the transmission problem is getting worse.i know other people have had the same issues as me.i am begging you, please make honda recall this auto transmission.someone will end up in a crash or killed because of sudden failure of the transmission, especially since it costs at minimum $3000 to repair- folks these days don't have that kind of money lying around.please make this company recall the product, they recalled the 2001's-- the 2002's are pretty much the same thing/problem.
My honda accord transmission is slipping and this will be the cars 2nd transmission and car only has 95,000 miles.
The contact owns a 2002 honda accord.while driving approximately 20 mph, the vehicle began shifting from second to third gear, which caused the vehicle to jerk and the rpms to race.the vehicle showed no signs of failure prior to the transmission failing.the vehicle was taken to the dealer and they stated that the vehicle has internal transmission failure.the repair would cost $3,000.the vehicle has not been repaired.the manufacturer stated that there were no current recalls on the transmission; therefore, they would not cover any expenses.the vin was unknown.the failure mileage was 100,000 and current mileage was 114,000.
2002 honda accord was diagnosed by jerry damson honda in huntsville al. As needing a new transmission due to internal transmission issues. Vehicle only has 31,000 miles. Dealer said this was a common problem with this model. Contacted honda customer service and they saidthey had complaints but offered no help in repairing the vehicle. Obviously everyone is aware of the transmission problems based on my conversation with the dealer and honda . Not to mention it's all over the internet. Why has there not been a recall or some type of investigation into this issue? the consumer certainly deserves better. Thanks in advance for any help in this matter.best regards,robert english
The contact owns a 2002 honda accord. The contact stated that her transmission failed. The dealer advised her that she needed to replace the transmission. The dealer also stated that she would be responsible for paying the repair cost. There were no related recalls or warranties. The failure mileage was 80,000.updated 12/01/09 updated 12/03/09
My 2002 honda accord se (automatic transmission, 4-cyl) has problems with the transmission.it is very slow to shift from 1st to 2nd gear.the transmission has been flushed without positive results and it has been recommended that the transmission be replaced. The mileage is 106,000 miles.hearing of other similar complaints, this could have negative results in heavy traffic.a owner of a transmission repair business, said this car should not be driven and it has been known to have the transmission come apart on the road.
Transmission jerks or lunges forward when coming to a complete stop.i am afraid vehicle will jump forward into oncoming traffic or the poor person in front of me.
At 47500 miles (the warranty ended at 36k), my 2002 honda accord (4 cylinder.) had transmission problems (started with a strong "thump", as if another car had rear-ended my car, jerky upshifts especially in the morning, slipping gears, leaking transmission fluid from the differential). The honda dealer where i purchased the vehicle diagnosed the problem, determined that the transmission had to be replaced, contacted american honda, and received a goodwill warranty approval for transmission replacement. I still had to pay out of my own pocket for a new rear main seal as a preventive maintenance. The transmission was replaced with a honda re-manufacturer transmission, paid by honda. I was offered a 3-year, 36000-mile warranty on the replacement.i can only hope that i won't need to take advantage of the warranty in the future or that the warranty is long enough...only time will tell...
Our 2002 honda accord only has 80000 miles on it and has been regularly maintained and has had the transmission completely failed. We have been quoted $2800 for the repair/replacement. We were on vacation in las vegas when it happened and broke down in a scary part of town. We had to leave it and now have to fly back to get it. We feel very cheated--shouldn't there be an element of safety knowing you're in a well maintained car with only 80,000 miles on it?
While driving 25 mph vehicle jerked and vibrated uncontrollably.consumer was able to maintain control of the vehicle, and drove it to the dealer for inspection. Mechanic determined that transmission needed to be replaced.
2002 honda accord lx auto trans started jerking when changing gears.when going from park to reverse, neutral or drive (or from drive/reverse/neutral to park) it jumps and jerks extremely hard.while driving, the car will not accelerate without jerking and rpms shooting up.occasionally, the car will stay in place when giving gas, will not move. Then it will catch and jerk.took car to multiple transmission shops, all said "new transmission required".i am currently weighing my options.bought car 1 1/2 years ago and have kept up with regular maintenance/care.one owner prior to my purchase.
1. I am feeling that my car's transmission is slipping.2. Everyday3. I think i need to change transmission? but why for this type of new car? it's a honda 2002 accord. I think honda needs to recall this model to change transmission. I saw number of people complained in the internet about same type of problem. My car's mileage: 90k.
I have a honda accord ex 2002. The transmission failed a month ago and the company replaced it under guarantee, after that was done the side airbag sensor light keeps coming on an off, now staying on for long periods of time. I am concerned that this may be a safety issue, it was not doing this before the transmission work replacements and the dealer does not seem to think this is something to be concerned about. I am.
While accelerating consumer heard a loud noise coming from the vehicle. Consumer took thevehicle to the dealership for inspection, andmechaincdeterminedthattransmission needed to be replaced.
The transmission in my 2002 honda accord is completely busted. I bought it used in 2005 and didn't have any problems up until 2009. Recently i've read that honda issued an extension on the transmissions up to 7yrs 60,000 miles. However when i bought the car, i had no idea that had been implemented. Not a peep. My car has just over 61,000 and just over 7yrs old. Just out of warranty. Now, i've had several estimates on a new transmission ranging about 3200-3600 dollars. I feel honda should replace it or at least help with some of the cost and, more importantly, i feel compelled to file a complaint because my wife was driving the car at the time the transmission broke. She was on the road and could have been hit by someone if she was on the interstate or in the middle of a intersection or someone else just not paying attention because the car doesn't go faster then 20 mph. Thank god nothing like that happened, but i've read stories online from people with the same problem. Hundreds of them. I saw on the news about honda and the airbag recalls and if i do get a letter from honda to replace that, i wont be able to get my car to the dealership to get it fixed because my transmission is trash! already! i don't know what to do now, so thank you whoever is the lucky person to read this. I hope i can get this resolved.
For approximately 72 hours the transmission in my 2002 honda accord had difficulties changing gears. When it did shift, it jerked violently. At the end of 72 hours i experienced catastrophic failure. This occurred at mileage 44,424. I went to my local honda dealer to have this problem addressed. They offered to fix the problem with a rebuilt honda transmissionfor the inflated price of $3600. When i tried to renegotiate the price, the service advisor said he could find a used transmission for $400 less with no guarantee.the car is now being repaired by a reputable independent transmission rebuilder specialist. The manager of the transmission repair facility advised me to pursue legal action.
2002 honda accord, 4 cyl, coupe, se:flashing d4 light, and check engine light come on.car feels as it is "slipping" into and out of gears, when taking off aggressively accelerating, and stopping.
We bought a new honda accord ex-l in2002 with automatic transmission. It now has 45,000 miles. We took great care of the car, maintained it at the honda dealer, and drove it carefully. Two weeks ago, we noticed that the car jerks and makes a noise when changing gears. We took it to the dealership and they said we have to replace the transmission. This is practically a new car and we should not experience this. Honda is not reliable, this car is clearly defective and honda should either extend the warranty or recall these cars. Honda refuses to extend the warranty or recall although so many consumers complained about similar transmission issues. Their corporate customer service insists that they never received such complaints although the internet and consumer websites are full of such examples. I am requesting that you investigate this issue and force honda to take care of their defective cars .thanks,najat kbait
Bought car new in 2002 and had a 7 yr extended warranty and since i drive very few miles ,the problem didn't get noticed until well into my warranty in 2006 but my car only had 22,000 miles on it! the dealership replaced it under warranty at no cost with a refurbished transmission and i was assured i'd have no problems....well less than 28,000 miles later the technician noticed what i thought i was imagining,a slipping and sloppy shifting transmission!!!in the technicians notes he stated"the transmission has a late shift from 1st -2nd and a sloppy shift from 3rd to 4th"i spoke with the service department and he told me that the warranty was well over (even though i was only at the 50,000 mile mark and was going to need a second transmission all with no guarantee how long that would last.he told me his manager would call me but i took from his demeanor that nothing would get done on that end. I cant truly afford a new car but pouring money into what i consider a lemon will not be satisfactory either...any ideas?
I bought my 2002 honda accord exv6 at 45,000 miles, in jan.2006. I started noticing about 2 months ago, that the transmission would shift extremely hard, and then, it went from that, to refusing to shift from 3rd to 4th, with the "d" flashing and the engine light flashing as well. It lurches forward all of a sudden, nearly causing me to hit a car in front of me, many times, and it revs really high at idle.
Transmission has been starting to lurch, hesitate, and the check engine light has been coming on and off and nobody has been able to pin point he problem - we have had it checked several times but no one can agree on the problem.this is a major safety issue and needs to be fixed immediately.we have received no communication from honda on this issue and have heard nothing on t he news - we do not regularly troll the internet and were not aware of problems with the hondatransmission.
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.
In late 2006 i noticed slipping in my transmission for my 2002 honda accord v-tec v6 3.0 l between the first and second gears in my automatic transmission at about 60,000 miles.i took it to my trusted mechanic who told me that their diagnosis was a "general transmission failure" and that i should take it to a dealer to see if there was a recall on the transmission.i took it to keys honda in woodland hills and they verified there was in fact no recall on the part.the replacement of the transmission cost me about $2000 and now about 20,000 miles later i'm experiencing that same slipping in the transmission.i would like to nhtsa to force honda to issue a recall before some unlikely soul who is not as diligent to fix their car has a serious injury due to a transmission failure.
2002 honda, took the car in for maintenance. Was told that the tranny fluid was dirty. This was at 77,151 miles..just had tranny fluid drained 8000 miles before i was told this. The mechanic said that it needed changed every 15,000 miles. Manual says 60,000 miles.. Now they tell me my transmission is failing at 84,000 miles. What a racket.. All the maintenance was done at the honda dealer, that i purchased the car from. I don't know how they can get away with this.
The contact owns a 2002 honda accord. While driving, the transmission would slip gears. This condition causes the vehicle to lurch forward without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealershipfor inspection. The technician stated that the transmission needed to be replaced. The transmission was replaced twice prior to the recent failure. The current and failure mileages were 140000.
The contact owns a 2002 honda accord.while driving approximately 65 mph, the engine began to rev highly.the transmission jerked and locked up.the vehicle stalled without warning.the driver was able to restart the vehicle and resume normal operation.the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for diagnostic testing, but they could not duplicate the failure.the transmission fluid was changed three weeks prior to the failures.the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer on a separate occasion for identical failures.the technician stated that the failures were due to the transmission and recommended that it be replaced.the vehicle is currently not being driven.the failure and current mileages were 59,000.updated 07/14/09updated 07/16/09.
My transmission started to fail (slipping) at 60,000 miles. Car now 70,000 and the transmission needs to be replaced. My first honda, probably last.
Transmission shakes while downshifting, this causes the wheel to shake viciously and may cause someone to lose control.the transmission also jerks into 2nd 3rd and 4th shift causing he car to drifted backwards before moving forward.
Dt*: the contact stated the transmission died twice when the vehicle was just overa year old. It was taken to the dealer after each incident and the transmission was replaced. The manufacturer was contacted, and determined the transmission would have to die two more times before the vehicle would be replaced.the transmission problems persisted by jerking and the transmission became caught between gears. It also had difficulty with driving up hills.
I just purchased a car from a third party and the car drove nicely but it had some dashboard lights on so i took the car to my mechanic the next day. He went through the car and checked the codes. The code that came up was the tc (torque converter) solenoid. He recommended replacing the transmission oil to see if that might knock off some crud off the solenoid. The next day i went to get it serviced and noticed on my way to the mechanic that my car seemed to come to a dead stop when i stopped instead of having the feeling like it was still in gear and ready to move forward. I told my mechanic about it, he did the service and said to drive it around to get the new fluid moving through the system. I immediately started having worse issues, the car was not going into first gear when i hit the gas, the rpms would go up and then the car would lurch forward into second. I felt this was not safe because i could ram into the car in front of me if i wasn't careful. When i would stop at a light, i would stop several feet behind the vehicle in front of me to allow for more room to lurch ahead, and i was very concerned about parking my car in the garage if it might unexpectedly lurch into the wall. By the time i got home, my d4 light was flashing. My mechanic recommended not driving until the transmission was checked out. I was surprised when the transmission shop said i needed to replace the transmission ... At 81,700 miles!?!?. The cause of the problem was a clutch drum and something about a ceiling ring being worn down. They did a soft part overhaul and had to replace the torque converter, clutch drum and linear solenoid.after doing some research, i understand that there was a recall for a similar issue for this type of car in a previous year. I think this year should be added to the list.
While merging into traffic on the interstate on ramp the transmission on my 2002 honda accord began to slip in and out of gear.the car lost acceleration and i had to take emergency action to quickly pull onto the shoulder of the road to avoid being hit in the rear and causing an accident.i was able to exit the interstate by driving on the shoulder and took local roads back to my home.i took the vehicle to my mechanic who diagnosed transmission failure.i then took the vehicle to the local honda dealership where this problem was confirmed.this is the second complete transmission failure in the last 25 months.the first incident also resulted in a near accident.this issue is well documented and widespread across several model years in the early 1990's.honda refuses to acknowledge this as a safety issue, however, but for quick driver reaction this defect would have resulted in a significant accident on the interstate. After the first failure (in dec. 2007) honda agreed to replace the transmission requiring me to pay for 1/3 of the cost.(the car had 58,000 miles and was not in original manufacturer's warranty).after this failure honda is offering to pay 50% of the cost.(the car has 110,000 miles).so it looks like every 50,000 miles or so this transmission will suffer complete failure. Honda has extended the manufacturer's warranty from the original (3yr/36000) to (7yr/100000).my vehicle is now 7 1/2 yr old and 110000 so honda says they will not cover it under warranty (even though the transmission is only 2 yrs old and 53000 miles) i believe there is significant evidence that these mechanical defects are causing safety issues and will undoubtedly lead to injury or death because this problem is so widespread.honda has implicitly acknowledge the issue because they continue to offer some remediation.unfortunately, this safety hazard is not being prevented only addressed after consumer complaints. *tw
2002 honda accord se, transmission is jerking and shifting hard into 1st through 3rd gears. Car has 112,000 miles on it and i have noticed an abundance of complaints about this specific transmission acting up around 80,000 miles. With this many complaints the problem seems less than intermittent. This is a recall issue and i along with many other owners would like to see action taken to force a recall. With our current economic problems that have risen out of poor government decision making, this is the least you can do to ease the strain on our pocket books.
2002 honda accord automatic transmission failed on march 3, 2010 while driving on md-355 highway during rush traffic hours causing panic to the driver. The engine kept revving up, but automatic transmission gears do not change, not picking up speed, and car does not move. The car has only 90000 miles. Shouldn't this require a recallby honda? can nhtsa investigate this issue for complaints from other drivers, and follow up with honda company.
December 2004 vehicle jerked while shifting when cold. After warming up, it shifted fine. Took in to dealer, told there are metal shavings in the fluid, needs new transmission. Honda replaced with rebuilt transmission at their cost, i paid labor.
Honda has a transmission design flaw in their early 2000 honda accords. I own a 2002 accord with 107,000 miles that requires a new transmission. I was surprised because this brand is known to be reliable. Upon researching honda transmission problems online, i found several articles and multiple consumer complaints regarding honda transmission failure. Honda did recall transmissions in certain models from 2003 and 2004. America honda knows they have a problem and they declined to assist me with the repair because my 2002 accord was not one of the recall models. I am now stuck with $3,600 repair bill for a new transmission. Almost had a wreck when pulling out into traffic since the car did not engage 2nd gear.
My 2002 honda accord ex had an internal transmission failure.the car has about 80,000 miles;i have maintained the car as directed;i know that honda extended the warranty on the 2000 and 2001 models due to this problem.i also know that certain 2002 models had transmission warranty extended.my vin number did not fall into this category.since the design of the car was not changed, why do some cars receive extended warranty and mine does not?it is, in my opinion, ridiculous that transmission failure happen at 80,000 miles.it is also dangerous - i am now having to replace the failed transmission with a new honda transmission at the cost of $3400.honda advertises its pride on quality and dependability and value - i received none of this.honda has a problem with the transmission, and has not corrected this problem - at least to 2002.thanks for listening.
Honda needs to recall their terrible transmissions in the 2002 accord ex v-6s.if these fail in traffic on an interstate it could cause serious issues. Luckily, minedid not fail on the interstate.the company offers no financial help to people when these trannysgo out at 50, 60, 70,000 miles.really unethical and dangerous.
This is similar to nhtsa campaign number 04v176000, but its occurring in a 2002 honda accord. The automatic transmission slips almost every time and the gears do not change at the right time. This may lead to accidents/crashes when driving in/out of freeways.
Transmission is shifting hard and slipping.
Accord v6 ex.transmission slipping, with abrupt shifting between first and second gears, and abrupt downshifting between gears.potential safety defect as car hesitates when crossing traffic. Currently 69,000 miles, but problem surfaced at around 55k miles and is getting progressively worse.apparently honda is covering replacement transmissions for 2001, but not 2002 models with the same problem.love hondas, but they dropped the ball on this one.
2002 accord transmission lurches when going into second gear but engine revs up before that happens.138,000 miles on odometer but this is a flaw that the transmission has been known to have.happens all the time.
Automatic transmission slips and jerks on my 2002 honda accord ex w/ only 75000 miles on it.it easily could cause an accident w/ tailgater behind me, and/or leave me stranded in cold weather if it breaks--which is apparently going to happen soon if the car ends up like the 2001 model (which they are fixing at honda's cost).
I own a 2002 honda accord ex-v6. However, at only 60,000 miles, the car's transmission is failing. While driving on the highway at approx. 55 mph, the car suddenly, without warning, downshifted from 4th gear to 3rd gear, then progressively came to a complete halt. Luckily for me, as well as the passengers in the car, i was able to pull over before the other cars on the highway could crash into me.i took the car to a mechanic who performed a diagnostics test, and informed me that the transmission was at fault. Now i'm told that i will have to replace the entire transmission, which may cost $3000+. When i purchased the car, i was unaware that this model had a persistent transmission problem. With so many complaints from other honda owners both online and offline, i'm convinced that honda is aware of the issue, but refuses to accommodate its loyal customers and expect us to pay, knowing they built their cars with faulty parts. They expect us to pay full price for the car, then pay extra down the line even though this is a potentially life threatening problem. This shows a complete disregard for the safety of it's customers. Ever since my frightening experience on the highway, i believe this is a potentially dangerous issue that deserves a recall, because one of the worst things that can happen to us drivers, is a vehicle that fails to perform, especially under risky conditions.i appreciate this forum, where i'm able to voice my complaint. I'm pleading with the nhtsa to investigate this problem and encourage honda to recall the faulty vehicles. I'll be happy to answer any questions and willing to accommodate this investigation however possible.thank you.
While starting from a stop, the transmission will not engage..then as the rpm begin to increase, the car will jerk into gear with severe force..causing your head to snap back.
The car hesitates and jerks at speeds between 0-20 mph.the floor in the back seat area of the car gets very hot most of the time when driving. Car also makes a strange noise upon acceleration. Dealer determined there is an internal transmission problem and it needs replacement. Since the car is out of warranty i'm expected to pay $4,450 for a new transmission on a car that's not 3 years old yet.
My 2002 honda accord started slipping around 90k miles and both my mechanic and this website http://www.carcomplaints.com/honda/accord/2002/transmission/transmission_slipping_and_jerking.shtml have reported that it's apparently a common issue for honda accords from that year to have transmission failure on the road before 100k miles.this is dangerous and unacceptable because many consumers have troubles affording the repair and may continue to drive.even worse, this problem isn't very well known because 2002 model cars are only recently approaching 80k+ miles so the complaints aren't as widespread yet.
My car started jerking and hesitating at first...and then i heard strange noises coming from the engine. Engine jerking got progressively worse.took car to dealer who informed us that we need a new transmission at a cost of $3,500. Car only has 89,000 miles.
Transmission failure.the gears are slipping in 1st and 2nd.i understand there is no 2nd gear.
2002 honda accord se 4cylinder,attransmission harsh jerky shifts starting from a dead stop going from 1st to 2nd.
The contact owns a 2002 honda accord.when the accelerator pedal was depressed, the vehicle would not move.it began jerking as if the transmission had slipped out of place.the contact took the vehicle to the dealer and a technician stated that the transmission failed, and they replaced it with a rebuilt transmission.there had been no further occurrences since the repair.the failure mileage was 93,000 and current mileage was 98,000.
This is my second 02 accord! i just bought this car three months ago and i'm starting to notice a slight hesitation in shifting. My other accord has a more significant shifting issue, although it hasn't failed yet. I have an appointment to have my other accord serviced and this one is right behind it.
Make : honda model : accord year : 2002 semanufacturer : honda (anderson honda in baltimore, md.) date of failure: aug. 25, 2008component: power train:automatic transmission summary: one year and 10 months after purchasing i noticed the jumpy transmission. Anderson honda dealership decided to replace the transmission under my extended warranty and i am still waiting to receive my vehicle after 3 days now.i came to this web-site and noticed all of the complaints and will bring this information to their attention.i am requesting the government put out a recall and honda be made to replace the transmission. There are too many complaints for you not too and believe in our government to help us in time of need.
My honda accord 2002, with 65,000 miles, started to jerk forward, when stopped on a red light you feel the car wants to jump forward, several times i was afraid of rear ending other cars in front of me, so i tried to keep extra distance from the other cars. Anyway, i took the car to auto repair shop "merchants" and i asked them to check the car, they recommended flushing all the fluids (oil, brake fluid, trans fluid, radiator), the cost to me was about $800 which included new brake pads. The car drove ok for couple thousand miles, then it started the slipping, jerking again. At about 70,000 miles i took the car for oil change at good year where they told me that tran's fluid is, dirty (black) and they recommended flushing the trans. I took the car back to "merchants" and showed them the report from good year, the said that they will repeat the job (flushing the fluids) at no charge. After flushing the trans for the second time, the car drove ok for few days, then it started jerking, slipping, and specially when i make a turn the car will slow down as if the gear is not engaged, when i push on the gas i get no reaction (speed wise), some times i have to switch betweendifferent gears to get it engaged, recently, many times i have to go to full stop and shift into p then to d fro the gear to get engaged. The situation was very dangerous several times and about to cause accidents, for sure attracted the attention of other drivers and many of them showed angry gestures. It is an accident waiting to happen any time i drive the honda accord. Couple of days ago, the tcs light came on for long time, yesterday the tcs light went off, but the check engine light came on and stayed on. I am not sure what is the problem, but i am convinced that the trans is failing, i hope that honda will honor a trans replacement, since the car is low mileage, about 72,000 miles. I will be taking the car tomorrow to a honda dealer in northern virginia.
Automatic transmission differential and carrier bearings are damaged - car has been meticulously cared for by the dealer but transmission has to be replaced.
Approximately march-2008, at about 80,000 miles, my 2002 honda accord 4door 4cylinder transmission began slamming into first gear and slightly slipping in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gears.i changed the transmission fluid, using honda atf-z1 fluid, four times over the period of three months.the fluid was clear and red each time.the problem slowly progressed.in early june-2008, my wife, myself, and our two children (age 5 and 2) were driving home from work and the transmission was severely slipping.the danger was that i had to drive the vehicle 20 - 25 mph in a 45mph zone major road (where cars realistically travel 10 -15 mph faster than the speed limit) and cars were swerving around us.my hazards were on, but did not seem to make a difference.i have reviewed a website www.carcomplaints.com and noted it seems to be a pattern with the 2002 accord.i too received a quote from a dealer to replace the transmission for thousands of dollars.it's still parked in my driveway because it's too dangerous to drive.i cannot afford to repair it.
At 65,000 miles, my honda is jerking and skidding. I took it to the mechanic they said it was the transmission, it needs replacement. Honda is aware of the problem but it is not recalling, it is waiting for people to die, just like toyota before it would recall the transmission or replace for free.
The contact owns a 2002 honda accord. The contact stated that while he was driving at various speeds his transmission shiftedinto neutral. The vehicle failed to shift into the correct gear after the failure occurred. The dealer advised the contact that they were aware of the transmission problem and he would be responsible for paying to have the vehicle repaired. The failure mileage was 60,000.
1. My car has been taken care of and serviced religiously since it was bought brand new in 2002. A honda accord.2. The transmission slips when i'm dowshifting to accelerate. It does it all the time unless i completely stop. 3. I haven't replaced the transmission because there are endless quantities of people with the same problem on the 2002 honda accords and honda still hasn't issued a recall.
90,00miles / transmission failed . Hard shiftvery bad .impossible to get on highway .will need to spend 3500.00 to replace . This transmission in very bad . I am handicapped and getting stuck somewhere or not being able to get on a highway safely is a big hazard.
2002 honda accord 4 cyl ex transmission failure at 34,000 miles , see alot of problems on line about this problem . Car transmission is slipping and will not move when you step on the gas pedal .could be a very potential hazard when starting out in traffic.
Total transmission failure on hond accord. Accelerator get stuck. Car does not transtion, then rev up. Called american honda. They are useless. *dt
The vehicle was parked in garage, with no key in ignition when it rolled backwards causing damage to the rear bumper.that was the first time it had ever happened.afterwards, the consumers spouse tested to see how a parked vehicle rolled back and again, with no key in ignition, the vehicle could still roll back when the vehicle was not placed in park the key could be taken out of the ignition.
The car gear started giving a jerk when moving the gear from park to drive mode. Sometime this problem got worst and felt car wouldn't move anymore. Showed the car to a nearest honda dealer and i was told there is a transmission failure and need to replace the transmission of the car, which he would charge total $2800. I am shocked and really don't don't know what to do.
The contact owns a 2002 honda accord.while driving approximately 30 mph and below, the vehicle hesitates and fails to shift into gear normally.the vehicle slips into gear instead.the dealer stated that the vehicle needed a new transmission.the current mileage was 123,000 and failure mileage was 100,000.updated 04/02/08.*ljupdated
Automatic trans on my 2002 honda accord v6 2 dr- abrupt shifting and downshifting- class action lawsuit filed against honda of america for years 98- 2001- but they have evaded responsibility for the 2002's.
Transmission randomly jerks.not safe to drive.
The contact owns a 2002 honda accord. The contact was driving approximately 45 mph when the vehicle began to shake excessively and exhibit a violent jerking. The contact then noticed that the gear shift selector would not allow him to place the vehicle into drive. The vehicle was taken to a private mechanic where the contact was informed that the transmission would need to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified who advised the contact that there were no recalls and that since the vehicle was no longer under warranty, they would not be able to offer any additional assistance. The contact did not inform the dealer of the failure nor was the vehicle repaired. The current and failure mileage was approximately 118,247.
On december 6, 2008 with 77,914 miles i had to replace my transmission.my car initially began jerking upon acceleration, almost as if i were a new driver driving a manual transmission car.it quickly progressed to slipping of gears while driving (between 2nd and 3rd) and i wasn't able to accelerate until my speed declined and it went back into 2nd gear. I took it to a transmission shop and they confirmed that the transmission was bad and we needed a replacement.we contacted honda and they said there was nothing they could do, they checked our vin # to see if it was one that was involved in any recalls or warranty extension and no luck for us.we bought this car new and were extremely disappointed with this situation which obviously reflects a flaw in the quality of transmission honda is putting in their vehicles. Total repairs were about $2,600 for a rebuilt transmission.
Car began shifting between 2nd and 3rd gear very roughly. Upon acceleration transmission slips and jerks. Car is awaiting repair for the transmission to be replaced.
While driving, the transmission would not down shift from 4th gear to 3rd gear when manually shifted. The consumer noticed that this problemdeveloped on many occasions. The consuemr took the vehicle to the dealer for inspection, however, the mechanic could notduplicate the problem.
Rough shifting developed around 58,000 miles.it consistently happens when shifting from second to third.a new or rebuilt transmission will be needed to correct the problem.
There are over 400 complaints logged on carcomplaints.com specifying variations of transmission troubles and/or failures in all models of the 2002 honda accord.these complaints are of the exact nature of other model years of this vehicle that have been covered by a manufacturer's recall.this model year has not been recalled even though the conditions and results are exactly the same.the transmissions start jerking, hard-shifting at various speeds and various road conditions.all reports submitted by owners describe similar circumstances and similar actions taken, namely contacting either a honda dealer or transmission specialist.most consultations suggest that the transmission will eventually fail and the only remedy is to replace the transmission.in all reported cases, the vehicles have been operated under normal conditions and there are no cases of operator negligence.since this is a widely-publicized manufacturing defect with no causation stemming from owner negligence, it is not unreasonable to expect honda to expand its recall to include the 2002 model year of the accord vehicle.this will assist those customers who, at the very least, expected a high level of reliability and most likely became (or remained) customers of the honda product because of the company's long-standing track record of producing quality products.
Transmission failed and is giving out with only 45,000 miles on it.
The srs light comes on for no apparent reason, i took it to a dealership, they told me that there were cases of this light coming on for no reason, so they went ahead and reset it for me. However, just recently it came on again for no reason. I took it to the dealership again, now they are saying that i need to pay 180 dollars just for a diagnostic, and repairs would be additional.transmission keeps slipping, gears do not change properly.
I have a 2002 honda accord ex..with a huge transmission problem.i have maintained my vehicle and it started shifting hard about a year ago.now it wont go into most gears.while i was driving it, it just started revving really high...in traffic, and wouldn't go forward.i had to pull off the road to avoid being in an accident.i have been researching this and it seems this year and model have a defect that is not being addressed by honda.
On december 27, 2002 i experienced potentially dangerous safety issue with my honda accord lx v4 2002.on a exit out of a shopping center i regularly go to (terra nova shopping center on east h in chula vista, california) the car in drive started to roll back after the brake was released as traffic started to move forward.in order to prevent the vehicle from continuing to reverse in free fall and strike another car in the rear it was necessary to slam the accelerator down to regain forward motion.after i got home i called my dealer (tipton honda in el cajon, california) and one of the technicians informed me that a slight rollback was normal in small cars because of their transmissions.i then called a friend of mine who has a degree in automotive engineering and he told me that rollback is not normal on any car; there is a brake that is suppose to activate in the transmission to prevent this when then the car is stopped.i then began to contact other local honda dealers,ball honda in national city, connected me to a technician who said that in order to meet the stringent requirements on emissions (vtec ulev) in california the timing had to be altered which does result in some rollback. The next week i talked to lateefah from honda (case no. 12002-12-300-1175) and she other customers had reported this and honda was aware of it but the engine was designed to meet specs and they would never sell an unsafe car.she stated a service bulletin had been issued and said that the dealer should be have told me about itshe stated that all you had to do was move your foot from the brake to the accelerator.after i talked to honda i tried the car on my uncle's driveway and we found that it rolled back which his car does not and there was no evidence it would stop except when it leveled out.as neither honda nor the dealer will do anything to fix the problem i find myself unable to safely drive the car anywhere with a steep incline.
My 2002 honda accord was purchased brand new with 50 miles on it in november 2001.i am currently at 150,000 miles.scheduled routine maintenances have always been completed, and i have had no problems with the car until recently.i started noticing a slight hesitation upon starting off several months ago.the check engine light came on.i thought i might have gotten bad gas and put in gas treatments for several trips.the check engine light would not turn off and the hesitation continued.i had a diagnostic done and it reported that the egr valve needed to be checked or replaced.i had the valve replaced.the car appeared to work fine for the next several months.earlier last week as i started off to work, the car would not shift into the next gear.the check engine light came on and the drive gear on the dashboard started blinking.i immediately stopped, put the car in gear and shut the engine off.i turned it back on and the car hesitated for a few seconds before going into the correct gears.the check engine light remained on.i went to have a diagnostic done and 2 reports ran -- one for an egr valve and one about possible transmission failure.the egr valve had already been replaced so i took it back to see what the problem was this past saturday.the valve was flushed/cleaned and the light went off.i also had my battery replaced.there was no leak in my transmission and the fluid level/color was ok.everything went fine.this morning, the car hesitated again and would not shift into the next gear.the check engine light came on and the drive gear on the dashboard was blinking.several cars were behind me. I tried to accelerate to keep from getting hit, but the car went slower and slower.i had another diagnostic run this morning -- possible transmission failure or low transmission fluid.the attendant checked my levels.everything was ok.it's the transmission.autobeef.com reports this with 2002 hondas. A recall needs to be done.
I had the transmission replacedin jan of 2002 after noticing a whine from the transmission around 45mph unaffected by gear selection and being confirmed by service techs. I am now noticing a similar, but not as loud, whine around 42-44mph which goes away if i shift from say 4th to 3rd, or into neutral
1. Bought car used, everything else runs fine (except regular maintenance was needed).2. The transmission jerks between 1st and 2nd gear with a high pitch squeal being emitted at high mph.this car only has 116,000 miles on it.3. Nothing has been done yet, looking to get a recall on this because many accord 2002 owners have this same issue.
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.
I have 25000 miles on a 2002 honda accord se.last year we started to have a low whine between 30 and 50 mph .this year (2006) there is a rumbling noise on acceleration and disappears when the speed is decreased.i thought is was the tires and replaced them but the noise remains.i brought the car to several mechanics and they all believe it is the transmission.called honda public relations to discuss and i was essentially told tough luck.there appears to be many failures of honda transmissions and an obvious engineering flaw.
Dealer reports transmission failure. All required maintenance has been performed and car has not been abused. Honda refuses to issue a recall.
I owned a 2002 honda accord this happened when the car was about 60,000 miles on it.the transmission was very bad.it didn't changed the gear it supposed to be giving a very loud noise and stop in the middle of the road. I contacted the honda dealer and they checked the vin # and they said it wasn't on a recalled list.i brought the car to honda dealer and tried to pretend to trade my car in for another.they said that the car had problem which is very bad transmission and they said the value was very low because they have to replace a new transmission's was very disappointed, honda had a very good reputation for the best car manufacturer.but it is not.
I have a 2002 honda accord ex v6 automatic sedan.i have had all service done at the dealer of purchase.at 69,567 miles the car hesitated when accelerator pushed down.hesitation lasted 2-7 seconds then trans. Engaged. After 3-5 days i took car to dealer.called in about 1 hour that transmission was shot, no repair possible, needed to replace with rebuilt.this was done at cost of $3,200.no service contract coverage no sharing of cost.seems unacceptablethat at 69k there would be a total transmission failure.
Transmission failed at 70k miles on the honda accord v6. Had to get the complete transmission replaced for a few thousands of dollars. This apparently is a common issue as expressed by many honda owners on several websites. However honda corp denies to accept responsibility and the consumers are being ripped of thousands. Honda has recalled transmissions and/or accepted that transmissions were defective on 2001 models, the 2002 model cards which are very similar to 2001 could have the same transmission and could have been probably produced in 2001 too and hence could be facing the same issue. However 2002 owners are being turned down by the honda corp.
Transmission slips, drive light flashes,checkengine light on2 times in last 2 months.honda dealer said needednew transmission. Other shopclaimednothingwas wrong.car has always shifted differently than others. Took car to honda in 1st year ownedasked about it and was told it was normal for this cartook car to transmission shop in 08/06 to have it checked, and they said nothing wrong.this was done at 100,400 miles.i had ext warranty, but daughter did not take to shop before it went over 100,000.hondaclaimedmy car not included in settlement ,adding 5% to mileage.hondastatedmy car not included in transmission recalls.i bought my car in early november 2002.
For the last 4 this car has jumped and shifted hard at stops when cold. The dealer told me this was normal and never made record of it on a service slip (roughly 70k). The dealer made me service the transmission ever 15-20k after the car had 35k miles. My honda dealer has now told me that the car has an odometer discrepancy, which i had never been informed off, and that the car probably has closer to 98k on it. The transmission now slips and stalls in the middle of intersections and you have to brake hard at stops to keep the car from lunging forward when cold. I feel honda is charging the customer with extra maintenance to keep the transmission from going out while it is in warranty to keep them from being responsible. I also feel the surging and slipping is a safety hazard caused by making a defective transmission.
I have a 2002 honda accord and it has 106,000 miles on it. It just passed the warranty period. The transmission on this vehicle has serious problem and it is a safety issue. When you stop at a red light or stop sign and when you start the vehicle will not move and the engine roars and the rpm shoots. The vehicle behind me might think that it is moving and can come and hit from behind. It also has the problem of suddenly accelerating or suddenly losing speed and thus becoming a safety issue. The dealer informed me that the transmission is at fault. After some research i have found that it is a very common problem for this model of vehicle. Honda is not ready to accept any responsibility and says everything is alright. Please act before something happens and take action against honda.
The contact owns a2002 honda accord.she applied pressure on the accelerator pedal at approximately 45 mph, but the vehicle would not accelerate.the driver pulled over to the side of the road with caution.the roadside assistance was called to the scene.the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic for inspection.the failure was contributed to the transmission which required replacement.the vehicle has not been repaired for the malfunction at this time. The failure and current mileages were 94,000.
I bought a new 2002 honda accord 4 cylinder le automatic in september 2002.i had it serviced regularly at a sunoco station near my house that does honda-consistent service.they advised me to change the transmission oil at 50,000 miles servicing, which i did in 2008.several weeks alter i noticed the transmission slipping going around corners.i went to county transmissions to ask them to look at it, but they said it is sealed and i should drive it til it breaks.it now has 75,000 mi and is still slipping, particularly going around corners - a safety issue, since the transmission could fail in traffic.i have given the car to my son, who drives it on a daily basis.i think honda should issue a recall on the 2002 accords and replace the transmissions s it did for other model years with a similar problem.
My 2002 honda accord, was bought brand new and replaced the transmission twice in 2004, the transmission is going out again.honda care said since i was over the 100,000 warranty, i would be responsible even though it was replaced the last time when my car was at 80,000.
Dt: while the contact's son was driving vehicle started to slow down andstalled.the contact'sson took the vehicle to a local mechanic who determined it was transmission failing.updated 12/7/2005.
I own a 2002 honda accord with an automatic transmission and maintain the vehicle very well. I drive it regularly to work and around town, never any place far. I have about 75,000 miles on the car and noticed one day in may the car was not driving normally. A couple days went by and my 'check engine light" came on, so i took it into my local honda dealer. They informed me i needed a new transmission, which would be around $3000. The vehicle would miss every shift point causing the car to "jolt" or "jump" back while driving. I'm writing this complaint because i drive my honda with the utmost care. How could my transmission just break like that? my warranty that came with the vehicle also expired 3-29-2009! if i had experienced this problem sooner, i would have taken it to the shop right away, but this happened literally within 2 months the warranty expired. Honda motors should take full responsibility for their poor excuse of a transmission. Shouldn't the transmission be on the top on the priority list when it came to designing their car? i am an avid honda consumer though, i have owned previous hondas in the past and trust their reliability, but this time; they have let me down. I have read online there are many more accord owners experiencing this problem and honda has done nothing about it. I don't drive my accord recklessly so could the transmission just broke?something must be done about this. Thank you very for your time.
The contact owns a 2002 honda accord.the contact was driving approximately 25 mph on normal road conditions.the transmission began to slipwith a jerking motion and excessive vibration. The driver was able to continue operation.the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and authorized dealer for diagnostic testing.the transmission required replacement.the vehicle has not been repaired at this time. The failure mileage was 120,00.the current mileage was 140,000.the vin was unavailable.
As usual honda transmission problem. Nothing new.
Transmission failed at 97,000 miles. Dealer replaced at no cost.
I have a 2002 honda accord lx coupe with 71,000 miles with a 3.0l v6 automatic transmission in it that has a complete transmission failure.while driving last week, it was unable to shift from second to third gear and rapidly decelerated in the middle of traffic.thank goodness it was not any icier that day or i would have been involved in a potentially serious accident as two cars had to swerve from behind me to avoid striking my car.the honda dealership has stated that the car is not safe to drive until the transmission is completely replaced.however, they are not offering any assistance with the repair despite the fact that the 2000-2001 models have an extended warranty for the same problems, or that the car has extremely low mileage with an excellent (and documented) service record.i believe this is true safety issue since severe traffic accidents could occur.
The contact owns a 2002 honda accord. Her engine warning light was illuminated on the instrument control. Also when driving, the transmission would intermittently slip gears. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, and a technician stated that the transmission needed to be replaced at an expense of $3500.00. The manufacturer was notified, but no assistance was provided.no repairs were made. The failure and current mileages were 111,000.
2002 honda accord v6 with 52,114 miles went out now i have to replace transmission honda dealer said it failed. Now it cost me 3068.00 dollars. I cant believe with low of mileage there has to be a defect please advice. Thank you.
While driving out of a local business the car began to act like it was going into neutral gear.the rpm's would rev up and the car would jerk into the next gear as the accelerator was pressed.this occurred after the car was driven for approx. 20 min. The car was taken to dealership where it was stated that it was in need of a new transmission.the car is getting a new transmission installed.
The car had been running fine (2002 honda accord ex v6 with 105k miles) but felt minor slipping in low gears.then suddenly the check engine & tcs lights came on and the d4 light was blinking. The car will not accelerate from a stop or slower speeds well at all.i have avoided being hit so far but just barely.i have been unable to accelerate properly and merge into highway traffic countless times.i have been almost rear-ended 3 times in the past 2 weeks when the vehicle will not accelerate when proceeding from a red light through a green one.after research have identified a widely known honda v6 transmission problem since 1998 but honda will not acknowledge or recall or repair.
Transmission slippage when accelarting; jerky transmission; hard shifting; check engine light and d-4 lights illuminating.
The contact owns a 2002 honda accord.while driving at any speed and shifting gears, the entire vehicle jerked forward.the contact was informed by the dealer that the transmission needed to be replaced.the vehicle has not been diagnosed by the dealer.the current and failure mileages were 110,000.
I bought the car with 98600 miles in feb 08. At about 99,600 miles i started the car an put it in drive and i got a hard jerk forward followed by another jerk, followed by the check engine light coming on and staying on and then the d4 light flashing. These jerks were unexpected and i hurt my neck as it snapped back hitting the headrest and almost hitting the car parked in front of mines. I waited for a while and i drove off, but i got no power. I pulled over and after letting the car warm up, i was able to resume with normal driving but the check engine light stayed on and the d4 log disappeared and never came back on. This happens anytime i do not warm up the car thoroughly. I mean for 10 minutes or more and this is summer time. I called american honda and they told me that the previous owner had an extended warranty to 100,000 miles but there was nothing that they could do since the car is now at 106,000 miles and therefore out of warranty. They suggested that i take it to the honda dealer and see if they would assist in the repair. I did that and they asked for any repair receipts i had on the car so that they can present it to american honda for assistance consideration. Keep in mind that i only had the car for 7 months and i only drove about 7000 miles so therefore i only did 2 oil changes that's all. Anyway i presented these 2 receipts and later on that day they told me that american honda will not assist me in the repair. The quoted cost was $2892+7% tax.i have read many many complaints about honda transmission problems, on www.carcomplaints.com and on www.consumeraffairs.com, particularly in the 2002,2003 accords. I see that the 2003 has a transmission recall. Why does the 2002 accord also have a transmission recall?this is obviously a safety issue and someone can be injured and property damage can occur if the car hits a parked car in front of it or god forbid someone passing in front of the car when it is being put into gear.
The contact owns a 2002 honda accord. The contact stated that while driving approximately 40 mph she could hear a whistling noise coming from the engine. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where the contact was informed a bearing within the transmission was causing the noise. The contact was also advised to replace the transmission. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 102,000 and the current mileage was 108,000.
2002 honda accord ex sedan had total transmission failure with only 80,000 miles,it never had difficulty engaging gears or rough shifting, it just stopped one day. I brought it to the dealership and they told me that i had a total transmission failure & would need to replace it or buy another car. I was shocked it had so little miles & needed the transmission($3304.11)! they said they are seeing alot of 1998-2002 accords needing new transmissions with less than 100,000 miles.
I took my 2002 honda accord lx (4 cyl. Automatic) on a long roadtrip, from richmond, va to nashville, tn, and back again. On the way home from nashville, going through the mountains (my 80-year-old mother as a passenger), i noticed the acceleration wasn't as good as usual. I planned to take it in to my mechanic upon returning. We got back to richmond safely.the next morning when i started the car, it jerked into gear. Something it never did. Then it would rev. Up high, at low gears, causing it to jerk. It subsided once the car was warmed up. My appointment at my mechanic was monday morning. They then informed me i was 1 1/2 qts. Low on fluid and that both axle shafts have been severely leaking. I would need a new transmission.my car is now sitting at the local honda dealer because american honda told me the only way i may get reimbursement is at a honda dealer, not at my mechanic. I have only 42,000 miles on it, and it has had the transmission fluid drained and refilled both in 2005 at 20,000 miles, and 2008 at 37,000 miles. They had better cover the entire cost, as i am seeing how many people have this exact problem. I am just thankful that my mother and i made it back safely to richmond. Driving through mountains with a bad transmission was very dangerous, needless to say!!
2002 honda accord se just started having a transmission problem. Car would lurch forward while stopped, which could have caused an accident. The car while driving would surge and jump out of gear, which could also cause an accident. Second transmission in 70,000 miles. After reading on the internet, there has seems to be hundreds of complaints about this transmission. Honda needs to own up to there faulty transmissions.
2002 honda accord vp; transmision slipping 'going out'.
2002 honda accord transmission clutch, many accord and civic models and years of honda were recalled for repairs but the recall does not include this year or model accord.the problems encountered are exactly the same as those reported in the recalled hondas.honda is saving money by trying to limit its recalls and repair obligations.honda carefully limited its recall despite the fact that the company acknowledges there is a problem with their transmissions and the complete failure of the cars due to these defects.
The power train has gone bad at about 72,000 miles on my moms 2002 honda accord. I have done tons of research and came across several websites and have seen numerous stuff regarding the complaints. Honda doesn't want to take responsibility for it. They are only willing to pay out 25% for goodwill and that's it. They are only picking certain vin numbers to be recalled for the year 2002. They won't step up to the plate and take more responsibility for all the year 2002 hondas that have bad transmissions. We need to do something to make them responsible. I called corporate and talked to a supervisor named claudia in recalls, option 3, 1-800-999-1009. I filed a complaint and my mom did too, there is a case manager looking into her car and i am not giving up till honda pays 100%. If that means going to the news to expose them, then so be it. This is horrible for so many people and i feel so sorry for all of you including my mother who has had horrible service at holler honda in orlando due to this problem.we need to take action and not give up!persistence pays!!
I purchased a 2002 honda accord lx from an original owner, two months ago.as of now the speedometer reads just over 65000 miles and the engine revs high until it hits 20mph and then bangs into second gear and then does the same thing going into third. When coming to a stop it again jumps forward and thereby could possibly hit apedestrian or ram into the car in front of it.any car that unpredictably jerks/lurches forward and could ram into the car or a person in front of them is a safety hazard.after researching this problem online i noticed that i'm not alone with this problem and i believe it's a manufacturing defect and this has to be recalled and replaced at honda's expense.i received one quote forapproximately $1800.00 and am getting another one tomorrow.thank you for your prompt attention to this safety concern.
The salesman falsely stated that the car had warranty , and the car is not in the condition stated , the transmission is not woking properly . I have made several attempts to fix the problem and it has been in vain. Teh disclosures werenot explained to me and there are optional services charged that i have no idea what they are in the contract.i felt pressured to buy a car i did not want.

I have 2001 & 2002 honda accord and 2006 honda pilot, i perform maintenance regularly on all my cars. Last year my honda accord 2001 transmission failed, good thing it was under extended warranty/recall. This year my 2002 had same symptoms, transmission gear slips and car jerks pretty bad specially first time it is driven in the day. I contacted honda they asked me to take it to dealer, dealer came back asking to replace transmission. This time honda don't want to pay for full amount for the same problem in earlier model (2001 accord). I am ending up paying $ 1000 + tax and shipping. My 2002 only have 76000 miles. This explains honda quality and honda backing up their product. I decided, i will not buy honda ever again. Specially when you can get other cars with 100,000 miles powertrain warranty.

2002 honda accord se, 4 door, automatic; 1) car is having severe transmission failure. Rpms increase but car will not move and then it violently shifts into gear and then stalls again on take off because it will not shift into drive.this problem began occurring recently at 118,000 miles.car is a one owner and is in excellent condition with all maintenance conducted at regular intervals.car cannot be driven now since it is a safety / hazard to be on the road / interstate.vehicle is now at the local mechanic and awaiting honda of america to authorize payment for repairs and replacement of transmission.this car is used to transport my wife and newborn baby.honda should have disclosed this as a safety issue and should have issued a recall.i have discovered as of today 12/31/2010 that there are thousands of honda owners who have experienced the same problem across the nation. As a special agent, i hope that the nhtsa gets involved soon and forces honda to do the right thing.american lives are being put at risk at the expense of a foreign automaker who wants to rake in profits.

Found transmission fluid on carport. Immediately took the car to honda dealer in coral springs(where originally purchased) 2 trips to listen to repair person tell me seals were bad but i needed a new rebuilt transmission. I have no issues with noise, whining, shifting etc...only have 41,528 miles on this car.never mistreated or driven hard in any way.was told if seals leaked again that honda would only replace with rebuilt transmission, not fix transmission or i could choose to go to an independent transmission shop.what is up with this???i have an extended warranty but come on now, this is stupid. Why would i replace a perfectly working transmission over seals??? has anyone else ran in to this issue? please let me know.
I start my car and when i put it into gear, it greatly jerks! it's awful! i can let the car sit for 25 minutes and then it won't jerk on me later on, but that sure is a lot of gas being wasted. I've gone to all these other websites where people complain about this honda and they all say the same. Bad jerking! staling on changing gears! dangerous if you pull out into traffic and it stalls on you!very bad!
Thumping noise like a tire low on air noticeable from about 35 and above. Checked tires and they were ok. Determined it was something in drive train. Noise went away when in neutral and was less on downhill. Took car in and described problem. Service guy said it sounded like "some bad bearings" in the transmission and that they had seen this several times before. It would be replaced under warranty or out of warranty. Mine was in warranty.

I own a 2002 honda accord es loaded with everything.today, i experienced a transmission malfunction.when the car stops, the transmission disengages while it is still in gear and running.to make the car move forward or backward, i have to rev the motor up to about 1800 rpm's before it will engage.this causes the car to lunge forward when it finally engages and it will certainly cause a wreck.the symptom occurred very gradually and i didn't know it until today when it wouldn't go into gear.now i know it wasn't just my imagination.i have my car at the shop right now over this incident, and i am told that it is common with these cars by my mechanic.he states it is dangerous and i should replace the torque converter and repair the transmission.this car has about 85k on it.it looks and runs like new -- except the transmission problem.the car is destined to be in an accident because of an uncontrollable engagement of the transmission.this is dangerous.honda should step up and fix the car with an after market product that will provide the service we expect from honda.
Transmission issue-hesitation and hard shifting. Total transmission replacement was recommended by local honda dealership.
Transmission will not shift into gear.
I have a 2002 honda accord v6 ex. At 113k miles the car has transmission problem. When accelerating, the car hesitates and then it shifts really hard. I took it to a mechanics for a check up and they said the transmission has to be replace soon. I didn't expect honda's reliability is this bad.

I am an owner of three honda vehicles due to their reliability.i bought the 2002 honda accord ex v6 right after christmas (dec 26th, 2009).i bought it for my two sons to use (ages 17 and 18).a little over a month of owning the vehicle, my younger son reported to me that while he was driving the vehicle, several of the lights on the dashboard went off including the engine check light, the tcs light as well as the d4 light.he said that the car started acting weird and that the engine felt like it was stuck in the same gear.this was while he was on the highway and the engine started racing.i took the vehicle to several shops including aamco and they all indicated that this was a hard code and that the transmission needs to be replaced.cost from aamco was between $2,500 and $3,000 depending on what they find when they take the transmission apart.the vehicle had roughly 92,000 miles when i purchased it and barely had 1,000 miles when the issue popped up.the car remains somewhat drivable but the engine seems like it is going to explode because the gears seem to be stuck and the car races especially when on the highway.again, this vehicle was purchased for my two sons due to the supposed reliability of the honda vehicle.researching the issue on line, i've come across several sites exposing this same problem with these honda accords.i've called honda and their only response was that they do not handle recalls, nhtsa does and until they determine this is an issue, honda cannot do anything about it.i think that it is about time that nhtsa does the right thing by these honda owners who are experiencing the same issues that i am having with my transmission!
2002 honda accord v6 - check engine light lit, took to dealership and they said i needed a new transmission.4k - accused me of not servicing my transmission (i'd done all of the service there), and if i could bring them proof of service they might help me with replacing the transmission which honda knows all about but haven't recalled.called honda, they are supposed to call me back with more info.i bought this car new and it has only 85k miles on it,per some sites warranty was supposed to be extended 7 yrs but not my vin!
I was driving my 2002 honda accord when there was jerking motion when the car would shift gears.the jerking motion also occurred when the car was shifted to reverse. I was instructed by a mechanic to call american honda.after speaking with a customer service representative i was told to take the car to a local honda dealership. The dealership performed a diagnostic test on the car and reported that the car needed a solenoid .after having replaced the solenoid the car still did not function properly and it was found that the car needed a new transmission. American honda did pay for the transmission but i had to pay for the labor. Doing a diagnostic test on the car the dealer told me that the transmission had failed.
I have a 2002 honda accord se. The auto trans started jerking when changing gears when the car reached 82k miles. When going from park to reverse, neutral or drive (or from drive/reverse/neutral to park) it jumps and jerks extremely hard. While driving, the car will not accelerate without jerking and rpms shooting up. I have done all of honda's suggested maintenance, and i have all of them documented. Took car to multiple transmission shops, all said that i need a "new transmission" for around $3,200. I have been an avid owner of honda's but this car really make me reconsider my preferences. I also heard from two other 2002 honda owners that they had to get rid of their car because of transmission issue. After looking on the web at so many complains, i wonder if/when honda will do something about this to protect customers' loyalty to their products...
I own a 2002 honda accord, leased it new for 2 years and then purchased it. I serviced it only at the dealership. When my car was at 95,000 miles the transmission started slipping. I called honda and told them about the problem and they said it wasn't under warranty. I had told them that i would have purchased a chevy for half the price of the honda had i known the transmission would go out as quickly as that on the less expensive car. I also had a main rear seal go out which is not typical with the age or mileage of this car, and the engine mounts. They agreed to only charge me labor for all of the problems; however it was still almost $1000 that i should not have to be paying right now. I just graduated from college and have over $60,000 in student loans. All of the aforementioned problems should not have been taking place for at least another 50-100,000 miles. I looked online and saw that other honda accords have been recalled up to 2001. This did not include my car right now, but probably will in the future. The dealership was very cooperative; however, honda corporate was not.
Automatic transmission failure on 2002 honda accord with 50,000 miles.transmission fluid leaked into the differential. I am afraid the gears might lock & cause a crash.i've been waiting for a replacement re-manufactured transmission for almost a month.the honda dealer said it was ok to drive until the parts come in.
Transmission failure.
The contact owns a 2002 honda accord. While driving approximately 25 mph, the check engine light illuminated on the warning panel. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who stated that the transmission needed to be replaced. The current and failure mileages were 105000.
Honda accord 2002.failing transmission after only 6 years on the road, and 70,000 miles.the only events are that around oct, 2008, the transmission began slipping.honda bellevue, wa, wanted over $4,000 to replace.calling other dealerships netted nearly the same cost.three oil changes and transmission fluid replacement, with constant complaints about the transmission, did not result in any change of stance by honda.after contacting honda customer service, honda dealer revised their quote to $2,000 for a refurbished transmission.since the transmission was logarithmically worse, we ate the cost of replacement.the replacement was buggy in that we had to spend considerable time at the dealership while they fixed the inability to turn off the car or remove the keys.
Problems with vehicle's steering and suspension. *mr there were steering problems, clicking noises that had run through the shifter and the steering wheel when placed into gear.there was no problem found in the steering or the suspension.the steering wheel did not return completely and when it did it would do so slowly, it also moved in circles.the brake pedal made noises when it was applied and metal like noises that had come from beneath the vehicle.the vehicle drove rough over bumps.when stepping on the brake pedal before going into gear, it felt as if the vehicle was already in park.the consumer was told that the vehicle rode rough due to too much air pressure in the tires (over 50lbs of pressure in two of the tires. *scc the front brake pads and rack and pinion were replaced.
My transmission failed after only 37,140 miles.after negotiation, honda replaced it; we shared the costs. Remanufactured transmission now failed; i regularly maintain it. Honda wants to charge $5000 to replace;honda said they would pay 60% of parts; labor extra.aamco rebuilds for $2200 - $2800 total parts & labor.honda "offered" to share costs. Seems even more unreasonable given seeming inflated costs. Http://www.carcomplaints.com/honda/accord/2002/ has recorded over 640 complaints of 2002 honda transmissions. Jan. 8, 2011 article, "honda transmission problems seem to exist", the reporter states that one complainant; "parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia),5u.s.c.552(b)(6) is not alone in his disenchantment. The n.h.t.s.a. Web site has some 570 transmission complaints from owners of 2003/2004 accords. Many refer to problems with second gear. There are just over 700 transmission complaints from owners of 2002?4 odyssey minivans. The safety agency can investigate if it appears that a recall may not have solved a safety problem. But the agency never started such an investigation.last week,, a spokeswoman for the agency, said such an inquiry was now being considered." the 2002 transmissions, like the 2003-04, appear to have even more complaints. I bought a honda because of honda's ads promoting their cars' reliability.now i have to contend with two transmissions failing, and i only have less than 77,000 miles on the car!!!many people are suffering from the effects of a bad economy and paying for what appear to be defective transmissions isn't right, and it isn't fair.after hundreds of complaints about honda accord 2002 transmissions, it is time for the nhtsa and honda to do the right thing and issue a recall for these transmissions and/or otherwise replace them for not more than $500 total parts and labor charged to the owner if the mileage is less than 100,000 miles.please recall!information
Immediately after purchase of new honda accord, 2002, i noticed the jumpy transmission. Honda dealershipchanged transmission fluid, hoping this would placate me. It did not. This continued to get worse and honda dealership denied experiencing problem on keeping car and test runs. Finally, 2006, the transmission died. We put in a re-built transmission to replace this faulty on.this rebuilt transmission is now gone. An estimate for that replacement was approximately $3000. This car is a perfect example of the known problems that the honda accord 2002 model was having with the transmission. The vehicle is presently being held for diagnostic at a honda dealership in tampa, fl. Therefore, i cannot provide vin number at this time.
Transmission slippage between 1st and 2nd gears on 2002 honda accord automatic.
The contact owns a 2002 honda accord. The contact was driving 30 mph when the transmission began hesitating and exhibiting an abnormal noise. The vehicle was taken to the dealer several times for the failure, but the dealer was unable to duplicate the failure or generate any failure codes. The transmission failed and the vehicle would not accelerate. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer but not repaired. The manufacturer advised the contact that the vehicle was not under recall and would not assist with repairs. The vehicle was not repaired. In addition, the contact stated that she was able to remove her key from the ignition without the vehicle being in park. The vin was not available. The vehicle was not repaired.the failure and current mileage was 66,000.
This is a 2002 honda accord se with 66,000 miles.for the past six months, the automatic transmission slips when shifting gears, resulting in a several-second ag before the gears re-engage and the car is capable of accelerating.it is more pronounced at lower gears (1-3).over the last six months, the slip has become more severe, despite transmission fluid changes by both a honda dealership and an independent mechanic.both sources identified the problem as existing within the transmission, but could not pinpoint the precise source of the problem, and both recommended a new transmission.because of the lag between gears and subsequent delay in acceleration, the car is unreliable when driving in even moderately dense traffic.
On 10/17/06, took 2002 honda accord (automatic transmission) mileage 65,460 to honda dealer "transmission slipping". Recommended/performed transmission flush (even though maintenance schedule according to owners manual recommends 120k or 6 yrs).on 11/9/08, noticing slipping & jerking again when car shifted gears.on 11/10/08, car failed to move forward while at stop sign, check engine light immediately came on. Turned car off, then back on drove fine to honda dealer. Again mentioned the transmission problem to dealer - this time out come "needs a new transmission".not sure why in 2006, they could perform a transmission flush to fix the problem and when same problem occurs again 2 years later, this time needs a new transmission? it is common knowledge that there have been many failed and replaced transmission in the 2002 honda accord.
Default in 2002 honda accord transmission.problem persist with gears slipping.have read articles that this is a default with honda.
The contact owns a 2002 honda accord. While driving approximately 5 mph, the vehicle started to jerk. The d4 light was flashing on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who stated that the failure was a leak inside the transmission. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The vin was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.updated 03/15/11*ljupdated 03/21/11
Transmission failure, at first it was not shifting normally then the check engine and d4 (flashed) lights turned on. Within a week it smelled terrible and was leaking huge amounts of transmission fluid. A local transmission shop looked at the transmission and told me that it was the internal bearings, that this was a known problem on accords and that the dealership should honor an extended warranty. The dealership told me that my vin # was not covered by the extended warranty only the v6 model even though they share the same transmission. After i complained honda agreed to cover parts only and i was stuck with over $600.00 bill for labor. I find this offensive due to the fact that they were aware of the problem and choose not to cover it on the 4 cylinder model.
Honda has an ongoing problem with the 2002 honda accord transmissions.i bought my car in february of this year with 64000 miles on it.the transmission is ruined in this car.the dealership definitely did their best to cover this issue before i drove it off the lot.come to find out honda has thousands of complaints on defective transmissions on this model accord. Honda needs to be found at fault for this issue.i bought the car for $10,000 and am now stuck with a lemon and a $3000 repair bill that i cannot afford.honda needs to step up to the plate and held accountable.
I own a 2002 honda accord, which has 90k miles on it currently. Over the past year car hesitates and shifts hard. There have been numerous times when turning in front of oncoming traffic when this hesitation would almost cause an accident. Having a car that hesitates when it shifts is very dangerous because other drivers are not aware of this and expect your car to accelerate normally. There are other times when approaching a stop light/sign when the car would downshift hard causing a quick deceleration and the cars behind me would nearly rearend me. This typically occurs about once a week and has been going on for almost a year. I am a college student who cant afford the repairs of an accident or a faulty transmission. This problem is a definitely a safety problem and people need to open their eyes and take action.

05-08-2007 oil seal was replaced due to leaking transmission fluid.on 05-21-2007 transmissionfluid again was leaking, dealer service center advised the the left seal needed replacement, and/or the transmission needed to be replaced. The out of balanceor wheel rotation sound began after an extended trip to wisconsin, on the return trip. There was no leaking at that time. After having the wheels cheked, and no explanation for the sound,we continued to identify the source. When we spotted the fluid on the garage floor we took car in for service.05-28-2007 precision trans verified definetly the transmission was going bad and seal replacement would not solve the problem. The vehicle has only 71640 miles.
Honda accord transmission slipping and not shifting.
Was driving along and all of a sudden the car downshifted and drive light blinking.this was without any prior warning.the tcs light came on as well as check engine.transmission slips all of the time now.american honda refuses to do anything about it nor will fairfax honda.
I took my honda accord v6 ex to change the transmission oil and they told me it needed a new transmission.all honda was prepared to do is give me $1000.00 toward the repair estimated at $4000.00.the problem is that the transmission slips between 1st and 2nd gear.the problem manifests itself more when the vehicle is cold.this is highly dangerous because when you turn on the highway or cross an intersection if the vehicle looses power because the transmission fails to shift, this puts the vehicle at risk of being rear ended or hit from the side.this is an intermittent problem since occurs mostly cold but sometimes during the day.the rest of the time there appears to be no problem.i don't know of many motorists who would rush out to spend $4000 to fix this problem until it becomes constant.until then the motorist is at risk of a severe accident.honda cannot fix this problem other than to replace the transmission at great cost.at least if they provided the transmission and the owner paid for the labor that would be a reasonable compromise.it is not reasonable for a transmission to fail at 72k miles.i have heard of other honda owners with this problem.i am reporting it so that if this is a trend, pressure may be put on honda to recall these transmissions or at the very least replace it immediately when identified.their current lack of response shows callous disrespect for human life.
2002 honda accord se v4 - 93,500 miles:while driving home from work, i stopped at a stop light and when i pushed the gas to take off, the car revved, but didn't go for several seconds and then started jerking as the car was trying to engage into first gear.from that point, every time i stopped at a light or stop sign, the car jerked wildly again and made horrible noises.took car into the honda dealer and was told that the transmission is totally shot and that i need a new one at a cost of $3950.00.car has been kept up and fluid changes done regularly.
The contact owns a 2002 honda accord.the contact stated that her transmission was slipping and caused her vehicle to stall in the middle of the road.the failure occurred while driving 5 mph.a crash could occur due to the sudden failure.in addition, the vehicle does not shift into gear when attempting to drive.the dealer stated that the transmission needed to be replaced because it could not be rebuilt.the repair would cost over $3,000.the failure mileage was 129,000.
On nov 17, 2009, my honda accord suddenly could not be stopped with the full brake. The vehicle kept on the same speed even with full brake. Then it had to hit another car. After i saw the stopped vehicle in the lane in front of me at about 100-150 feet, i then applied the full brake, but the vehicle kept going, i then released the brake and applied the brake again, but the vehicle still kept going until it hit another car in the lane. This is very similar to the current toyota accelerator problem. Actually this is the second time i met this problem. Another time, because there was no car in front of me, so there was no accident. The vehicle got stopped after i released the brake and touched the accelerator and then applied brake lightly again.
I am having rough shifts from 1st to 2nd gear.it began to get progressively worse after ~80,000 miles.
The contact owns a 2002 honda accord.the contact stated that the key can be removed from the ignition without the vehicle being in park.the vehicle was repaired according to a recall in 2005 for this issue, but the failure still exists.the recall repair was performed again at the cost of $160.the contact stated that the failure was due to a manufacturer defect.the failure mileage was 145,000.

While driving to a florida vacation in oct., 2005 the transmission began to slip on my 2002 honda accord.by the time we arrived, i had to drive immediately to the nearest transmission repair shop incurring a bill of $3,024 + the cost of a rental car & a trip back to fl the following weekend to get the honda.forward to feb, 2009...once again transmission slipping.incurred another repair for $3200.forward to today, dec. 2010 (not even 2 yrs later) the transmission is once more slipping, and it looks like another $3,000+ repair on the horizon!!!that will be 3 transmission replacements in 5 years!!!
I bought my 2002 honda accord because i have heard so many compliments regarding hondas. I am so disappointed. I bought my automatic honda new and soon noticed a jerking when moving from one gear to the next, however when i made the 2 1/2 hour drive to the santa rosa, ca dealership where i had bought the car they said that my transmission was fine that in this model it just isn't as smooth as some. The issue kept becoming more obvious and when i brought it in for the 40,000 tune-up i went ahead and paid to have the transmission serviced even though it is not normally scheduled until a later tune-up. Still the jerking and hesitation moving between gears and the staff insisting they saw no problem, but everyone else who rides in my car notices it. I have had some dangerous calls in heavy traffic and now i don't even try to make lane changes unless i allow for the hesitation and lunging as icannot just zip into traffic safely as others can. Even when its not dangerous, it is plain annoying to have bought a new car and with all the jerking it feels like it going to break down like a old jalopy. I really am frustrated both with the car and the fact that nothing was done when it was under warranty, now that it is out of warranty they do notice a problem but it would be very expensive to fix. By the way this dealership has award-winning service signs on their wall!
When driving my 2002 honda accord, the transmission slips and jerks.when traveling under 20 mph, the rpm sometimes goes high before the gear sets in place causing the vehicle to jerk or lunge forward.not good when you have a newborn in the car and the jerking is causing their heads to jerk. Please help.
I drive a 2002 honda accord se and i'm having a transmission issue. My car only has 69,000 miles. I called the dealer and they said my car is not under warranty anymore, although i have read there is a recall on automatic transmissions from 2000-2002 honda accord and that the warranty has been extended to 7years or 100,000miles. I'm very disappointed with honda, i thought honda's were great cars. I will never buy another honda again.
Transmission failure on my 2002 honda accord vpat only 47,549 miles.i was driving to work and stopped at light when my car would no longer drive forward just rolled backwards when brakes were lifted and gas applied.i contacted honda and they said i'd have to bring the car to certified honda dealer to have diagnostics done, well i'm no donald trump and my budget after just making my last car payments does not allow for me to fruitlessly tow my vehicle from garage to garage. Any ways i needed the transmission reconditioned which cost me $1,816.00 not at honda but a good transmission repair shop.i would just like for someone to look into these problems with the transmissions on 2002 honda accords. They should not just give out at 47k. Honda should have offered at least a free tow to do diagnostics with only 47k how can they stand behind a product that is so faulty and having so many complaints.
Transmission slips, lugs, and hesitates shifting.dangerous when trying to merge onto a freeway in heavy traffic and car does not reliably accelerate.also dangerous when changing lanes.the car has always been well cared for.a check and change of the transmission fluid did not resolve the problem.
Stopped for a stop light and when it changed greeni went to press on gas pedal it was several seconds before the car accelerated due to transmission slipping. A car which had not stopped for the stop light came up from behind me in my lane and almost rear ended me.
Car is a 2002 honda accord lx. When i was driving it i felt a sudden jerk like i was hit from behind. When i tried to accelerate to pull to the side the car would not accelerate. I got it down to the honda dealer where they informed me that my transmission was suffering from internal failure and i would need a new transmission. My car only has 60,000 miles and all service and maintenance records. In further reading online it seems as though i am not the only one who has experienced these problems with the 2002 honda accord.
2002 honda accord ex transmission failuretorque converter failure, transmission would not up shift at times or severe jumping when it would shift; also it would down shift at normal driving speed causing a sudden slowing of the car.i was pulling out onto the highway when it slipped and could only see a truck barreling towards me. Luckily, there was no one in the left lane and they switched before i could get my car off the road.this is a serious safety issue where the lives of those riding in a honda 2002 are at risk.
My '02 accord's transmission is failing.it stalls, it jerks really hard and i almost got in a wreck due to the stalling.everytime it switches gears the engine revs up and then we're eventually jolted into the gear.recently i almost got into a car wreck making a left hand turn at a major intersection.i pressed the gas to turn left and of course it stalls and the engine revs up and the oncoming car luckily saw me and made a sudden move to avoid hitting me.then the transmission kicks it into gear, jerks us, then we move!it's super scary, it just started happening in november and to replace the transmission will cost $2985.00.honda customer service says that they are unaware of any existing failures and will not help in any way.it may not seem like a safety concern to them, but until they are in my shoes and experience the horror that we did then they have no right to ignore the defect!!!!
Normal driving of the car has lead to a transmission failure that is known by widely by other victims of the problem. 2002 honda accord ex, transmission is know to fail due to 2nd gear slipping, and other gears 'jerking' around. This occurs every time the vehicle is started. When car goes into second gear it lunges forward or feels like someone hit you from the rear. Also jerk violently when put into reverse. When transmission is on it's last breath , it does not go into gear, meaning if your trying to get on the main road from a side street, you might be hit on the side if your lean your car out to go when transmission does not go into gear, leaving you vulnerable on the road.a transmission rebuild due to clutch packet, a transmission swap, or transmission replacement are the only choices a victim has. Pricing from $6,000(transmission swap from acura cl-s type s)-$1,500(transmission rebuild). Honda accord drivers can not afford this due to honda ignorance of it's customers safety.

I bought my 2002 honda accord 4 door ex automatic from a coworker approximately 1.5 years ago. I immediately noticed hard shifts from first gear to second gear during any type of acceleration. The issue has been getting worse and worse. Under no circumstances should a transmission be faulty at under 100,000 miles.what is more disturbing is that honda recalled the 2001 accords for this issue and they used the same transmission in the 2002's.this is a major problem, especially when a $2000 transmission replacement is the end-game. Honda must take responsibility for their lack of quality and recognize that their reputation as a quality auto manufacturer is in serious jeopardy.

My 2002 honda accord's transmission, in august of 2007 started jerking between gear changes. I took it my local honda dealership and had the transmission serviced, it did not fix the problem. I went back to the honda dealership to have them look at the transmission again and was told the transmission needed to be replaced. I have drove it now for two years with periodic fluid changes but still have the hard shifting between gears. It sounds like this is an ongoing problem with this model of accords, so i am also filing a complaint.
I took my 2002 honda accord lx to the honda dealership in my townto get its 97,000 miles service but to later find out that i need to replace my transmission which will cost at about $3,100.the car jerks off when going from park to reverse and reverse to drive.i was told that honda vehicles are very reliable and good on the road.i did not expect that i will replace the car transmission this early. I asked the service advisor at the honda dealership here in my town about warranties and apparently warranties are only covered for 36,000 miles or 3 years.i was also told that even with an extended warranty, it will not cover transmission replacement.$3,100 is a lot of money to pull out of the pocket.i am very disappointed with honda.
Transmission slipping - occurs all the time; therefore making the rpm's race, reducing fuel mileage and eventually complete failure.vehicle was initially evaluated by auto alternative, nicholasville, ky not knowing there was a major problem.they flushed the transmission, scoped it and then said the transmission was going bad and would need to be replaced.then took it to powers transmission and they verified the same information.then took it to don jacobs oldsmobile honda and they verified the same information.then begin tolook on-line to warranty/defect issues with 2002 honda accords and found hundreds of issues w/lots being transmission problems and many complaints being filed through this website.this indicates to me that honda has known of transmission defects but didn't seem to recall or extend warranty on this year like they did on the 1999 - 2001.this has become a major problem for me since it is going to cost over $2,000 to replace this transmission.i can't afford to buy another car and would get no decent value on a trade-in.i feel that american honda corporation should be willing to help me with the cost of repair.this is the 2nd honda accord i have owned and how quick of a response i get from honda will determine if i ever purchase another car from honda.honda's should last as long as toyota's and i feel this car should last at least 150,000 miles.that is what i get on my toyota's.please help!

It was 90,000 miles and my honda accord 02 was transmission oil leaking. Then when it becomes slipping and jerking.the 1st gear is difficultly going to 2nd gear.the transmission is bad.i went to honda, they told me the 02 has improved the transmission problem.no 7years/100,000 miles warranty on 02 accord.that's ridiculous.my accord is in honda repair center now, they told me 3,500 to 4,000 for replacing a new transmission.how can i do?
The transmission began to slip and jump hard into the next gear when accelerating. Looks like the problem is similar to the one affecting the other years of this make/model, but there is no recall on the 2002. Took it to the dealer, and they agreed there was a problem, but they wouldn't take care of it. Ended up $750 out of pocket for a rebuilt tranny from them.
My transmission in my 2002 honda accord v6 stays in first gear for some time before violently kicking into second.my problem is that i live on busy streets and when i pull out onto one of these streets, i am unable to accelerate at the rate of speed the oncoming traffic is going.thus, cars are slamming on breaks to avoid slamming into the back of me.several close calls.no action taken yet since i heard honda does nothing for you and i am unable to afford the costly repair.

My 2002 honda accord coupe has a bad transmission, it's the same problem that honda put an extended warranty on for the older models. I believe they need to extend that warranty to 2002 models as well.

While not crashes or injuries have been related to the honda vehicle i own, there are a number of engineering and manufacturing defects on the vehicle which are a cause of serious safety concerns.i have a 2002 honda accord with about 131,000 miles which has had the following issues:1. The transmission went out around 60,000 miles and was replaced by honda.at around 100,000 miles the transmission started to exhibit same symptoms. I took the car in, but, of course, honda dealer said there is nothing wrong. Then around 116,000 miles a honda mechanic said that my model of a car has an issue with transmissions and that it would need to be replaced.the transmission issue is bad enough to have a website dedicated to it. While a transmission failing is not necessarily a safety issue, loosing vehicle control and drivable on the highway could be.2. Now the vehicle starts to vibrate at highway speeds despite having new and balanced tires on it. I took the car in to get new struts.since then i took the car to a mechanic of very high integrity (not the honda dealer) and they said that unfortunately, the problem may simply be ?impossible? to fix since everything they could see indicated that car should behave normally, i.e. The tires were fine, the alignment was fine, and the cv joints were fine.this is becoming more and more of the issue and indicates a possible design flaw with the vehicle.3. The lights on the vehicle are horrible.this is a safety issue as it seriously impairs the vehicle drivability.4. The rails for the driver's seat had to be replaced around 32,000 miles and now (at around 130,000 miles) the seat seems to wobble again. This could be a potential safety issue as it seems that the seat could simply detach in the case of an accident. Updated 05/07/10.

Around 65,000 miles i noticed when istop at a stop light or get a rolling start from a stop light or stop sign, the car makes a very loud clunk, it feels as if someone has ran into the back of me. I really think that honda should handle the problem, from what i have read, alot of people have this problem on the 2002's. I have always very thought highly of honda's and there customer service, but i am now having second thoughts there are too many other brands that do offer a 100,000 mile warranty.

Noticed the slipping/jerking when it changes gears (severe on lower gear shifts). I brought the vehicle for check-up, and mechanic diagnosed as transmission problem. Researched the problem, and it seems that this is a widespread issue, that even a recall of honda accord to 2001 models. I called the honda customer service but was told that the vehicle is not part of the recall since it does not cover 2002 models. It seems to me that honda is negligent in not including the 2002 models since this problem is exact/similar to the symptoms of the recalled models.

I have a 2002 honda accord ex that has continuously been having transmission issues including jerking in and out of gear revving up witout moving and switching gears. Also having noticed i forgot to put car in park and turned off my car taking keys out of gear. Both of these problems are big safety issues and have occurred since owning the car for two years. I am now faced with getting a new transmission on a car that had originally less then 100 thousand miles on it when purchased. I have also had to replace the head lights and brake lights 3 times since owning the car and i have never left lights on for an extended period.
The car is hesitating to go from 1st to 2nd and often jerking.it also makes a bussing noise when running above 45 mph.i just bought the car with a mileage 113,300 thinking that it is honda, a durable car manufacturer.after driving a car approximately 20 days, i noticed the problem.so disappointed.checked with a honda dealer in chicago and it is said that it has a transmission problem, costing close to $4k to replace with an aftermarket transmission or approximately $4.5k honda part (both including labor fees).given so many complains on this type of car (i have driven dodge stratus and now going close to 210k with no single problem to a transmission), i would like to ask the agency to support a recall of the part and request honda to be responsible and take a full fix on the problem.thank you
The contact owns a 2002 honda accord.the contact stated that the transmission slips and jerks in first and second gears.the vehicle was taken to a mechanic and the failure was confirmed.the honda manufacturer advised the contact to take the vehicle to the dealer for diagnostic testing.she is currently weighing her options.the failure mileage was 124,000.
My 2002 honda accord developed a transmission problem at 45,000 miles. After contacting honda and being told that my vin number was not affected i reviewed the complaints section on the internet and realized that 90% of the 2002 problems listed were related to transmission failures and even after many people paid to have their transmission replaced the problem re-occurred after 30k miles in some cases. The average cost of repair for this is $3500 and it is obvious it is a factory defect by the huge percentage of transmission's. I have traded in my accord but request that the government please investigate this issue in detail and help the many unknowing consumers out there before someone gets injured or killed, as if spending $3500 to fix an obvious design defect isn't bad enough. And even after spending this amount of money to get it fixed it still re-occurs. This should be a definite recall item.
Car's transmission needs to be replaced. Upon searching the internet the model year of 2000 and 2001 were recalled for their transmissions, although 2002 model year is also known for the transmission failures.there have been numerous occasions where i have almost been in car accidents because of the faulty transmission.i have placed calls with honda of america to address the issue and have been told they would not cover anything.
This safety complaint is about the transmission failure of my 2002 honda accord ex 3.0 v6 the current mileage is about 90k. Recently i felt the transmission had difficulty in shifting gears when accelerating from a full stop.on january 15, 2010, my wife drove the car entering into a highway and found it very hard to speed up and the car behind her had to brake to avoid a crash. Then the check engine light of the car was on, and d4 light started to blink. The mechanic i went to pointed out (and honda dealer later confirmed) that the transmission fluid was burnt out and the transmission was a failureand had to be replaced. From my experience, i believe this is a major safety concern as the failure happens mostly when the car start to accelerate from stop or low speed and can lead to crash if the car can't speed up timely and the car in behind does not have time to respond. I found also many other similar complaints on carcomplaints.com, which suggest to me this is an inherent product problem for honda accord from year 2000 to 2003.
It seems as if the automatic transmission is slipping. It occasionally happens but is more frequent when it's raining. It was raining lightly and i was at a dead stop at a red light and upon it turning green i gave it some gas but it barely moved but i did see the rpms climb like normal, this happened for approximately 2 seconds and then all of a sudden i heard a big metal clunk noise from the engine bay and the car jerked and started to move, this startled and i'm glad no one was in front of me because i may have rear ended them. I called american honda and informed them of my problem about a month ago but they said the 2002 accord in question did not have this problem because the vin did not fall between certain numbers.
I own a 2002 honda accord lx v6 automatic transmission.the transmission down shift very rough and slip when up shift.i followed all the recommended maintain schudule.the dealer says it needs a new transimission and honda usa is not covering the cost. This car should be recalledthis is a very serious safety concern as it feel like it may stall on the road.
I own a 2002 honda accord se with 96+ miles on it and i already have my check engine lights on with transmission problem (tcc). Initial slippage/jerking of acceleration causes a threat while driving and i would strongly recommend this model to be recalled.reference:http://www.carcomplaints.com/honda/accord/2002/transmission/transmission_slipping_and_jerking.shtml.
1. Power train:automatic transmission slipping and jerking.leading to gear tooth chipping or gear breakage which could result in a crash.2. Numerous consumers reported for identical issues.failure in transmission could results in a crash/injure. (almost had big accidents couple times on the way to honda)3. Repair/replace estimatedby honda dealer: $3,085too costly to afford individually.
No event led to the failure. My 2002 honda accord with 63000 miles started on a cold day and the check engine light and d4 light started to blink.after taking it to the honda dealer "liberty honda" where all the servicing has been done including the 60k servicethey determined it needed a transmission.they called honda america and they claim to have a deductible of $750. To replace the transmission and i would get a 3yr 36k/mile warranty.i plan to take it into the dealer to get it repaired, but feel i am being taken. From the sound of it honda knows about the problem and are replacing the pats for free and making me pay for the labor.a recall is in order.
While driving my 2002 honda accord se, my vehicle began to slip and then jerk suddenly.upon restart, when i pressed the accelerator, the engine revved and jerked again before finally getting into gear.i took my vehicle to my honda dealer where they completed a diagnostic test.the outcome of the diagnostic was that i had transmission failure and needed a replacement.imagine my surprise as my honda has been regularly maintained and has only just turned 83,000 miles.after seeing all of the other complaints of similar problems, i certainly feel that honda should be held responsible for this obvious defect.i understand that earlier models (2000,2001) were at least repaired under a warranty extension due to a class action lawsuit.i feel that the problems on the 2002 also need to be addressed before these problems cause serious accidents!
My 2002 honda accord v6 coupe experienced a stuck throttle and runaway acceleration. I slowed the car with the brakes, shifted into neutral, turned off the engine, then re-started it. It went back to redline. Finally, kicking the gas pedal caused the acceleration to stop. I noticed subsequently, that the cruise control had also failed. The dealership (darlings honda, in bangor, me), told me that the throttle body had broken, near the attachment point of the cruise actuator cable. They recommended that i replace the throttle body. It appears to me, that there is a flaw in the vehicle, that allows runaway acceleration when a mechanical failure of this kind occurs. I contacted american honda ("brian" at 800-999-1009 x 117738), and explained the problem to him. He got back to me two days later, and told me that honda was unwilling to fix the problem. I believe that this issue warrants an investigation, as it could have resulted in death or severe injury.the same vehicle also has developed a transmission problem, over the last year or so. It feels like the transmission is beginning to fail. There is a delay between gears, that feels like the torque converter isn't locking up as fast as it used to. It makes pulling out into traffic more difficult. Despite there having been an admitted transmission problem, with 2002 v6 accords, the dealer suggests that i try another transmission fluid change, instead of replacing the transmission. They cite the car's high mileage, 142,000 miles, as the reason that honda will not pay for any safety or warranty related issues. Please advise.
In mid-july of 2010, i began having sporadic transmission issues with my vehicle. On an irregular basis, the automatic transmission would shift in a very rough manner, jolting the vehicle and leading to a dangerous lack of reliability with acceleration with no forewarning.the problem would last approximately 15 minutes and then would rectify itself.when i contacted the dealership, they claimed that there would be no way to diagnose the problem if the check engine light was not on (no computer code being tripped) and they could not replicate the issue. On sept. 13, in the middle of my commute, the check engine light came on and the car would not shift out of first gear, putting me in a dangerous position on a major road.the dealer claims that the computer code states a failure of the torque converter.allegedly, as the converter was deteriorating, the pieces of metal were falling off of it and into the transmission, causing the shifting problems. Dealer claims that, at this point, the torque converter has damaged the transmission to the degree that both need to be replaced. If it would have been possible to diagnose the faulty torque converter at an earlier date, the transmission may have been saved.
My car started jerking so i took it in with my mechanic. He told me that my transmission was failing so i took it to the honda dealership. They told me that it would cost $3300. I went back to my mechanic because i was shocked that it was failing he told me to contact honda corporation to notify them and ask if they will repair it under good will. I did call and they told me that it happens and unfortunately, my car was no longer under warranty. I stopped driving my car in august and it has been parked. I'm a teacher and talking to people, i hear that they also had problems with their accord and honda helped. I have documentation that my car has followed the recommended maintenance. I'm not sure which step to take next.
While pulling out of the parking garage, the transmission seemed to slip gears and then get stuck in 1st gear. The check engine light came on, the d4 started flashing and the tcs light came on. I had to pull over and turn off the car. When i turned the car back on, only the check engine light remained on and everything else seemed fine. A mechanic told me that it was just a shifting malfunction and he reset the computer. However, a couple of weeks later it happened while i was driving on the street and i had to quickly get over to the side of the road before any cars rear-ended me as the car was suddenly going very slow. I have had the transmission fluid flushed and this didn't help at all. I have had all other required maintenance and still the transmission is going out at slightly over 100,000 miles.
I bought a honda because at the time they had a good reputation for being reliable car. My tranny would catch some from the start but in got worse. I took it into my local dealership and they said they didn't see any problem and no recalls were issued. I took it to another dealership in a different town and same thing. They acted like they had not heard of any problems. Then i find out that they are seeing issues with the v6 which does not pertain to me. Yet if honda has tranny problems with some many different makes and models wouldn't that tell you they make a faulty transmission. I think they need to step up to the plate be accountable for this and take care of honda customers.
I've had my 02 accord ex-v6 for about 3 yrs now. It presently has about 96k miles on it (my wife drives it). I started noticing hard shifting, especially going into and coming out of park, approximately a year ago. My wife hasn't noted anything significant yet, but i've definitely noticed that there is a problem. I haven't taken it to the dealer yet because all of the research i've done reports the same thing...the dealers are denying that there is a problem for the most part.this is the only complaint i have. Other than this issue, the car has been rock-solid and extremely good to us! in fact, i was so pleased with its overall performance that, when my 89 accord was rear-ended and totaled (at 262k miles), i went and bought another 02 accord se! my "newer" accord is showing just the slightest of hesitation in shifting, but only intermittently.like all other accord owners (especially those that have voiced their concerns in this forum), i purchased my cars for one main reason...the reliability history of this vehicle! i, too, am very concerned by the number of similar complaints about the same performance issue. I have an appointment with my local dealer on friday (6 june 2008).
While moving the car in my driveway it felt as though the transmission slipped when i shifted from park into drive.the very next day the check engine light appeared.i took the car to local auto parts store and asked them if they could diagnose why the check engine light came on.they said it was indicating the torque converter was the cause.i took the car directly to pennzoil and asked them to do a complete transmission/torque converter oil flush and change for about $145.00 and to reset the check engine light. I had experienced a similar problem four years ago with a 1998 ford taurus and i took that vehicle to a transmission shop who told me that it definitely needed a new transmission and it would be $2800.00 to replace the transmission.instead of just forking over the $2800.00 i decided to spend just $150.00 on a complete transmission fluid exchange which also replaced the fluid in the torque converter.four years later i am still driving that taurus that "definitely needed" a new $2800.00 transmission and i only spent $150.00 on a complete fluid exchange.i'm hoping that my honda will do as well.in any case, pennzoil said that the transmission fluid on the honda accord should be changed every 45,000 miles. My honda accord had 94,000 miles on it, and since i am the second owner, i'm not sure it was done at 45,000.in any case, i figure it was well worth the $145.00 i spent, rather than $800 + for a torque converter alone or worse for a new transmission.the check engine light hasn't come back on and i have yet to feel the transmission slip since having the fluid changed.
2002 accord ex-l v6: car shakes when slowing down and when at a stop continues to shake and jerk then powers off. Car has been maintained with regular oil changes yet this continues to happen every time i drive the vehicle.
Vehicle taken to dealer twice for whining transmission. New transmission ordered but not installed because they say the whining noise disappeared. Honda tech hears whining. Transmission and that is why it was ordered. The whining is still there.dt
I have taken my accord into the dealer for transmission leaks and problems three times and have to take it in again.the car jerks and slips out of gears and i have had a few close calls in intersections because of this problem.
Having trouble with car getting from 1st to 2nd gear.it seems to slip.the engine will rev but the car does not accelerate.this only happens on a cold start.once car warms up, it is fine.this seems to be a consistent problem with the transmissions on 2002 honda accords.have seen this problem listed in multiple places, almost 60 times on this website (nhtsa) and almost 50 times on autobeef (http://www.carcomplaints.com/honda/accord/2002/transmission/transmission_slipping_and_jerking.shtml).can something be done about this?
Torque converter failure, transmission would not up shift at times or severe jumping when it would shift; also it would down shift at normal driving speed causing a sudden slowing of the car.
Automatic transmission failure on 2002 honda v6 accord..slippage from 1st to 2nd occurs all the time as i drive it..
Honda accord 2002 value packagethe transmission starts to fail at 59000 miles.symptoms include clunking when shifts from neutral to drive, failing to change gears sometimes, and sudden clunks when changing gears.i am afraid that this failure may lead to an accident and request a recall from the manufacturer.i tried to change transmission fluid, but it still leaves the same problem.
Vehicle with 47,000 miles has defective transmission that hesitates/shifts hard when the engine is cold. Honda corp acknowledges issue yet says it's vin specific and will not honor any type of extended warranty or goodwill repair. The cost to install a rebuilt un it is $2600-$2800. With over 100 complaints specific to this issue, nhtsa should force honda to implement a recall.

The vehicle taken was taken to a transmission auto shop for diagnosis. The technician informed that the transmission would need to be replaced. The transmission was replaced with a new transmission. The failure mileage was approximately 90,000.
Transmission jerking requiring replacement of transmission in 2002 honda accord v6 with 86,000 miles.
I have a 2002 honda accord.when traveling in high road and air temperature 95+ degrees my transmission began to jerk with stop and go traffic.i was on a long bridge and unable to pull over and stop.when i was able to stop i let my engine cool down.ever since that incident my transmission has had a jerking from 1st to 2nd gear.i have been back to my dealership and service mgr stated nothing is wrong with your transmission.the service mgr. Knowing that my car year and model were recalled. I have taken the car to atransmission company recently and they advised me to return to dealership. My transmission is about to fail. I feel very unsafe when driving or pulling into traffic as my transmission has no power with this jerking. I never know when the vehicle will completely fail causing a serious accident to myself and others.i have had my transmission serviced according to the guidelines in my honda manual.i have searched on the internet and discovered that the 2002 honda accord has been recalled. I, being the original owner, have never been notified by honda.that my car needs to be brought to the dealership for repair.i need to have my transmission replaced and honda will not stand behind there product.
The contact owns a 2002 honda accord.the contact stated that the transmission has been slipping ever since the vehicle was purchased in 2002.he took the vehicle to a repair shop and they performed a transmission flush, but it did not correct the failure.the contact will take the vehicle to the dealer.the vin was unknown.the failure mileage was 77,000.
The car shifts hard and jerks severely in the first and second drive. The check engine light want go off. The d4 button blinks or flashes red. It makes a strange noise when the car will not pull. The car will pull off very slowly like 5 miles per hour and then severely jerk.
2002 accord se sedan transmission is starting to fail at 135,000 miles.transmission slips from 1 to 2 gear on acceleration and has delayed downshift from 2 to 1 when braking for a stop.transmission was well maintained and flushed/refilled with correct honda atf at recommended intervals. Very scary driving the car because behavior of the drivetrain is uncertain.
I have started to experience problems with the transmission on2002 honda accord ex v6, (purchased new.i feltsudden jerks while starting after stopping at lights or stop signs.i knew honda did do free transmission replacement for 2001 models.i would like to know if this has been problem with other people too and a fix by manufacturer.
This is the 3rd brake failure (2 partial/1 complete) that we have had with this vehicle,all ofwhich have been reported to the dealership(technicians, management and owner), american honda, and nhtsa.on 4/22/02, odometer 498/traveling 25mph/dry pavement/smooth road, the abs and tcs warning indicator lights came on and remained on.i immediately pushed the brake pedal which had softened to a little less than half before engaging. Frightened, ipulled over using my emergency brake to safely stop the vehicle.after stopping, i placed the vehicle in park and pumped the brake several times in an attempt to get the brake pedal to re-engage properly.it did not and both warning light indicators remained on.because i was 1 block from the house and there were no other vehicles on the road, i decided to coast home at 5mph using the emergency brake.at my house, i placed the vehicle in park, left emergency brake engaged and turned off the vehicle.i immediately called the dealership with a detailed description and a tow truck was dispatched.it was determined to be a disconnected left abs sensor.i do not believe this is accurate nor is it consistent with the braking (and electrical) issues that we have experienced and previous repair attempts made by the dealership.i refused to pick up the vehicle on the grounds of this safety defect and the dealerships inability to accurately diagnose it.the vehicle was taken back by the dealership and we were placed in another new accord.i aggressively stated to peter heuy, his sales manager, service manager, and technician and american honda, that this vehicle contains a major safety defect in its brake system that an engineer from american honda needs to isolate before placing the vehicle back on the road.anything less than that is gross negligence.the dealership indicated this would not be done and the vehicle would be used as a demo.

Re. Three major factory defects of 2002 honda accord v6 exi currently own four honda vehicles. Two of them are 2002 honda accord v6 ex models. Honda released 2002 honda accord ex without any thorough final inspections. The malfunctioning on my two hondas was all factory defects deeply related to passenger safety. Honda does not care for human life sincerely as advertised. Honda does not deserve to be one of the best vehicles in the states.since i purchased brand new 2002 hondas, three serious mechanical and electrical defects have been found: seat belt sensor malfunctioning, timing related engine rpm surge, and powertrain breakdown. All three happened within 36,000 miles. First problem was a seat belt sensor problem. It was detected several months on both vehicles. And i asked a honda mechanic to fix it. He told me that it would go away if you drove more. However, this problem was not gone. And couple of years later, i strongly ask honda dealer to check and fix it. One was seat belt sensor problem and the other was the main seat belt controller. Second problem was a timing related engine surge. It happened on both hondas within 30,000 miles on the same day. Rpm of both honda went up and engine light was on. Even in braking, i could feel very strong force, which might break something. It was a sudden surge enough to cause a big accident. I want you to inspect this factory defect of all 2002 honda accord ex.third problem happened in the first 2002 honda. It was a powertrain problem. This brand new vehicle has surged several months after delivered to us. The mechanics in honda dealerships said that it would go away if we drove more. The surge in first three years seemed moderate jolting when the second gear shifted to the first gear. But it got worse and worse. Finally, oil leaked. After fixing it, there are no more jolting or surging in gear transitions. This incident took place due to honda's negligence and irresponsibility.
The contact owns a 2002 honda accord.the contact stated that the transmission failed.the torque converter detached and fell into the transmission, which caused the vehicle to slip between first and second gear and jerk heavily.the dealer stated that they would have to replace the entire transmission, including the computer parts at the cost of $3,500.the current mileage was 75,500 and failure mileage was approximately 75,400.

The contact owns a 2002 honda accord. While driving at an unknown speed, the clutch pedal sank to the floorboard. The vehicle was merged to the side of the road before it completely stalled. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technician replaced the clutch slave cylinder. However, the failure occurred multiple times. After the third failure, the vehicle was taken back to the dealer where the master cylinder was replaced. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 92,728.
Dealer reports transmission failure. All required maintenance has been performed and car has not been abused. Honda refuses to issue a recall.
Manual transmission has been havingongoing problems with its shifting very hard into gear, mostly in low or reverse gears. Vehicle was serviced 3 times. Dealership has indicated that no mechanical problem was found. They changed the transmission fluid and lubricated the shifter linkage, but the failure recurred.
The contact owns a 2002 honda accord.while driving 45 mph, the transmission began jerking and the acceleration was gradual.the contact took the vehicle to the dealer and was informed that the transmission needed to be rebuilt.the repair was completed in april of 2008.the failure mileage was 58,900.
Consumer states the vehicle would not shift gears properly, so the dealer adjusted the sensor ten thousand miles later theproblem reoccured. After inspection by the dealer it was discovered that the transmission needs to be replaced. Please provide further information.
I slowed down at a traffic light and my car was rear ended by another car who failed to apply the brakes and/or may have hit the gas pedal instead of the brakes.the car has been deemed a total loss as the car chassis seems to be crumpled.what i find very surprising is that neither the seat belts tighten nor the air bags were deployed despite being hit so hard.i was wondering what may have been the reason and what needs to be done so that it doesn't happen with anyone else.
I moved from arizona to florida. I had the airbag recall replacement. Three days ago i saw the srs (safety restraint system) light come on and stay on in my car. Because the recall is going into bankruptcy i am very concerned about the restraint system. Nothing has happened to the car. It just turned on. I contacted honda and they say they are not going to address this because i had the recall work done. I can't image why they won't assist with the diagnosis and to determine the cause. I was under the impression that the seatbelt and airbags should last the life of the vehicle. I have never in any accidents and i have maintained the car, it is in great condition.
The contact owns a 2002 honda accord. While driving at speeds of 5 mph and abruptly depressing the brake pedal, the seat belt failed to engage and lock the contact into position. The srs air bag warning light also illuminated on the instrument panel. The dealer replaced the seatbelts at the owners expense. They were unable to determine the failure in the air bags and advised that they would have to manually deploy the air bags in order to determine if they were fully operational. Although there was a recall for the air bags for his year, make and model, his vin was not included with the recall campaign (nhtsa campaign id number: 10v041000: air bags). There were no repairs made to the air bags. The vin was not available at the time of the complaint.the failure mileage was 75,000 and current was 90,000.updated 06/25/10. *ljupdated 06/29/10.
Srs light came on and stayed on during a 500 mile trip after stopping and turning the engine back on.this meant the safety restraint systems such as seat belt tensioners and airbags would not function until srs problem is corrected.required a service call to dealer to order new srs unit and replace.not covered under any warranty.replacement will be done dec 1 so not sure if this will correct the problem.so must continue to drive car without safety restraint system functioning.
The contact owns a 2002 honda accord.the srs light illuminated and is related to the air bag system and seat belt.the seat belts have a lifetime warranty.the dealer stated that there was a faulty sensor in the seat belt latch, which is not included in the extended warranty.the seat belt sensor costs $170 to repair.the current and failure mileages were 53,000. Updated 03-05-08 the consumer stated the dealer informed him if the seat belt latch is faulty the air bag sensor will be inoperable.updated 03/05/08
The air bag didn't deploy when the vehicle was in a collision, but it did deploy for no reason at all. *ph the seat belt did not work during the accident as well. *sc
My 2002 honda accord v6 coupe has a problem with the safety restraint system. I brought it to dealer, and i was told that it was a seat belt buckle switch failure, and it would cost $200+ to fix, even though the owners manual states that all seat belt problems have a lifetime warranty. I refused to pay to have it fixed, and they sent me away, informing me that the srs system is shut down. This is a big safety concern for me, and i feel they should fix the problem.i have read online that there are many people with the same problem i have on their accords.i would appreciate any help you could give me. Thank you
Takata recall srs light is on
2002 honda accord v6 coupe -- srs system light on the dash is on. This indicates that srs system, including safety devices (seat belts and airbags) may not be working correctly. The problem was at first intermittent. I read that there was recall in regards to the seat belts and that was causing the problem. I took the car in to the honda dealer for servicing. He did not acknowledge the safety recall and said they would troubleshoot it and i have to pay for it.the light is solid on for past couple of years.
The contact owns a 2002 honda accord lx. The contact stated that she was involved in a crash while traveling 55 mph. The air bags failed to deploy and the seatbelt did not restrain the contact. The contact was not reported injured however.the vehicle was towed to a private mechanic however, the failure could not be duplicated. The contact stated that the vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was unknown. Updated 11/9/12 the consumer stated due to the accident she had to have open heart surgery. Her chest hit the steering wheel and she broke her arm. The consumer also had an aneurysm that could have been caused by the accident. Updated 11/29/2012
When driving along the highway the traction control light pops on along with the side air bag light. My transmission seems to be going out. When i'm at a complete stop and attempt to proceed through a green light the car seems to not want to get gas. I'm not sure what the problem is. Can someone please help me?
Srs light stays on. Seat belts were replaced and warning light reset,but came on after a couple of miles. Now there is a recall on the air bag inflators, but the seat belt control module, which activates the inflators is defective, and not covered under any update or recall program. I understand that the air bags will not deploy in a crash if the srs light is on. This is a fairly common problem and in my opinion should be covered under a federally mandatedsafety recall with no charge to the consumer.
Srs warning light came on while parked.took vehicle to dealership, where diagnostic service showed the driver's side seat belt detection mechanism was failing to function properly.this safety system is connected to the airbags, but is not covered under warranty (per american honda and local dealer).this malfunction is a known problem, but honda will not repair/replace without charging customer, thereby putting lives and safety at risk in the name of profit.
When the vehicle went over a bump, the seat belts tightened which prevented the consumer from moving.

Problems with vehicle's seat belts.*mrwhen the vehicle goes over bumps, large or small, the seats belts tighten, which prevented the passenger from moving.as the interior of the vehicle warmed up, the seat belt would work intermittently, but when cool or cold, they would tighten up so hard that the passenger would become unable to breathe.*scc
I took my vehicle in for an airbag recall recently and as i was driving back home and stopped at a traffic light the red light srs appeared.it stayed on for a few seconds and went out as i was driving.it did this a couple of times and finally it just stayed on.since i've had this vehicle i've never had this happen.i called the dealership when igot home and they told me they didn't do anything other than replace the airbag and that it was the seatbelt restraint system.light is still on now.the only seatbelt that is used is mine as i am the only driver of my vehicle.i don't know what caused the light.please let me know the outcome so i will know how to proceed.thank you,[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Transmission slipping and smoking, this has caused a hardship for our family due to the fact that this is our main mode of transportation. My wife is afraid to even drive the car and refuses to place our son in the car.
The contact owns a 2002 honda accord. While driving 15 mph, the contact noticed an abnormal noise coming from the front driver side air bag. The air bag deployed inadvertently. The contact swerved, lost control of the vehicle, and drove over a curb. The front driver side seat belt pretensioner activated. The driver sustained minor cuts, and head and neck injuries that did not require medical attention. A police report was not filed. The vehicle was taken to a dealer who diagnosed that the driver side air bag, both seat belts and buckles, and a sos unit needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and sent out a field representative to inspect the vehicle. The failure mileage was 74,965.
Few years ago i had problems with seat belt codes popping up. Took car to one of the dealers (do not remember which one..lost my receipt/paper work) and they supposedly fixed the problem. After that "fix" the reminder light and alarm for seat belts didn't light up at all (on a dash board), asked technicians about it at that time and was told that it is probably the light/alarm needs to be changing and that it is not a big deal. It had been few years since and whenever i drive the car i am uneasy about it: it somehow disturbs me whenever i turn the car on or drive it. Belt (driver's side) sometimes doesn't get tight(er?)en at all when i brake. I read that it is a safety issue and usually honda maker requires to fix it and it is at no charge. This year i talked to one of the ballise honda (west springfield) dealerships' technician (information/conversation was not entered in the computer) and he told me that it is not a big a deal (the light/alarm sound is not on when belts are not engaged) and if i want to fix it i wold have to pay. I told him when they went off : after the problem i had few years that was supposedly fixed. So..i am curious is it a safety issue covered by honda or is it just in my head something that is not important as per technician. I do not remember the date when i took it to the dealer fix the problem and they (i think) just turn that signal/alarm off ...because before i took my car to themall was on and working properly except for the lights pointing to the issue. So,now i am putting present day (below where it requires to put the date when first it happened because i do not remember that date)... Because the form will not allow me to proceed.
The contact owns a 2002 honda accord. The contact stated that the srs warning light illuminated while driving. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where they confirmed a seat belt malfunction.

My 8 years old grandson became entangled in the seat trying to get out of the car.the seat belt locked and he was unable to move.he managed to squirm out but his foot got caught in the belt. The belt twisted andi was unable to loosen it working on it for 15 to 20 minutes.the belt became tighter each time i tried to release it.his foot became red as there was not anycirculationto his right foot.i ended up returning home and cutting the seat belt in order to release him.the seat belt is on the passenger side in the back.i have not fixed the belt and feel like honda should replace the belt free of charge.i have notified honda.hopefully they will replace the seat belt free of charge.
I have no seat belt light and my srs light will not go off
My uncle was traveling on a state highway when his 02 honda hydroplaned on a rainy afternoon and hit head on with another vehicle. My three month old daughter sustained severe head trauma and died at the hospital a little later. Eleven days later my uncle died from severe bleeding and brain damage. Honda said nothing was wrong with this car. My daughter who was 2 at the time was a passenger along with two other cousins, they all came out fine. Now 6 years later we received a recall notice about the airbags and i'm concerned that this vehicle was not safe enough and could have been the main result in my daughters death.
I started my car one morning and the srs light came on.i had i t tested via computer and it showed drivers side seat belt buckle sensor, honda on 500 yonkers ave, yonkers will not repair at no cost, american honda explained that as well to me on case # n012015-07-2000208, i do not understand as it is a safety problem , my honda book reads seat belts and components have a lifetime warranty and the buckle with sensor is a component and therefore my srs stays lit, it also reads that if it does stay lit my airbags will not deploy, can you do anything to help me with this problemma 10/25/15
Car was headed west in the left lane of a four lane highway. A big suv headed in the opposite direction was turning to the left. He didn't have time to go and stopped right in my lane. My car hit hers on the passenger side. When we crashed, both of my air bags exploded. I thought my car was on fire because smoke was coming from the bags. My right arm and hand swelled up so big and is still painful. I think there must be medal embedded in my arm. Blood was gushing from my arm and right knee. The inch gash in my right knee was on top of my total knee replacement. This had to be stitched up. I had contusions on my chest, arm and left knee. My ribs and sternum were bruised badly. My right ankle was fractured. My car was totaled. I was taken by ambulance to emergency and stayed until june 26, 2014. I was ordered to put no weight on my right leg and was transported by ambulance to a medical rehabilitation center. Before my release from there, i developed pneumonia and could not leave until july 14, 2014. I still have to have surgery on my left knee for torn meniscus. That surgery is scheduled for september 9, 2014. My back was fractured also; however, i have not scheduled that surgery as of yet.......updated 09-03-14updated 11/26/2014
The "srs" light has turned on in the instrument panel. Honda is trying to charge me $360 to diagnose the problem when it is obviously air bag/seat belt related. The light remains on during motion and while the engine is at idle. My vehicle is at 117,464 miles. My question is if honda has the right to charge me to diagnose something that is related to safety equipment.

Subject: front seat breaks off in rear end collision on honda accord sedan.o whom it may concern, purchased a brand new 2002 honda accord lx sedan from bloomfield honda in bloomfield hills, michigan one year ago.my wife was rear ended by a large ford truck while she was stopped to make a left turn onto a neighborhood street.i truck didnt even brake and drove the truck all the way up to the backseat.luckily she was wearing a seat belt.her driver seat, however, broke off its moorings at the floorboard giving her no support as she was flung backward in the crash.it was like the front seat was a rocking chair after the crash.no part of the front end was damage except the driver seat (only the rear end had been struck).the trunk and rear-end are destroyed. Are drivers seats supposed to come loose or break off in crashes???is this the honda way?we have owned hondas for years and this is a major quality breech and a danger.if my wife wasnt wearing that seat belt she might be dead.the manager of the dealership said this sometimes happened in the honda accord in rear end collisions...this is acceptable????the drivers seat would have driven her into the dash.i would also rethink not having the airbag deploy in a severe rear-end collision.it would have helped in this incident.
I was involved in an accident where i was rear ended on a highway at a fairly high speed. Both my seat back and the empty passenger seat back collapsed into the back seat before being thrown forward where i was above the steering wheel close enough that i could see that my eyes were about two inches from the windshield and then i was then thrown back again to the laying down positionof my seat. In my peripheral vision i could see the seat back of the empty passenger seat doing the same thing as my seat.this appears to be a safety issue especially because i have two car seats in the back seat for my infant and toddler that where thankfully empty at the time. In order to get out of my car i had to return my seat to the upright position which i was suprisingly able to do using the automatic button. This appears to be a safety issue. As a side note: three weeks prior to the accident my seatbelt was replaced under a warranty and the rest of my safety devices found to be in good working order by the dealership.

The front driver side power seat broke. Something on the seat broke that caused the seat back to rock back. This happened several years ago. I took it to the dealer. They said it would cost $1500 to $2000 to replace the seat. The car was drivable. Earlier this year, a bracket that held the seat to the floor broke, causing the seat to separate from the floor. The car was not drivable. I had the bracket welded so that i could drive the car. On april 11, 2012, differentbracket on the seat broke. The car is not safe to drive again because the seat rocks back when you accellerate or stop. It looks like metal fatigue at both places.

While not crashes or injuries have been related to the honda vehicle i own, there are a number of engineering and manufacturing defects on the vehicle which are a cause of serious safety concerns.i have a 2002 honda accord with about 131,000 miles which has had the following issues:1. The transmission went out around 60,000 miles and was replaced by honda.at around 100,000 miles the transmission started to exhibit same symptoms. I took the car in, but, of course, honda dealer said there is nothing wrong. Then around 116,000 miles a honda mechanic said that my model of a car has an issue with transmissions and that it would need to be replaced.the transmission issue is bad enough to have a website dedicated to it. While a transmission failing is not necessarily a safety issue, loosing vehicle control and drivable on the highway could be.2. Now the vehicle starts to vibrate at highway speeds despite having new and balanced tires on it. I took the car in to get new struts.since then i took the car to a mechanic of very high integrity (not the honda dealer) and they said that unfortunately, the problem may simply be ?impossible? to fix since everything they could see indicated that car should behave normally, i.e. The tires were fine, the alignment was fine, and the cv joints were fine.this is becoming more and more of the issue and indicates a possible design flaw with the vehicle.3. The lights on the vehicle are horrible.this is a safety issue as it seriously impairs the vehicle drivability.4. The rails for the driver's seat had to be replaced around 32,000 miles and now (at around 130,000 miles) the seat seems to wobble again. This could be a potential safety issue as it seems that the seat could simply detach in the case of an accident. Updated 05/07/10.

I recently had new tires put on my honda accord, along with a lower control arm replacement and caliper/rotor repair/replace.upon picking up my car the technician asked me to come out to the garage - my car was on a lift - he showed me something alarming....the sub frame is rusting out - toward the passenger side of the car.there is about a 2" x 3.5" hole in the frame.when i got home i googled this issue and found quite a few comments/complaints on various boards about the same issue on similar year vehicles.most of the comments also said the complainant found out that in the model years 1998-2002 the design allows the ac condenser outlet drip water on the sub frame at this exact point.this sounds like something honda needs to ante up to repair. I had planned to keep my honda until at least 200,000 or more miles, now not so sure that is a wise idea.

During a regular oil change at a firestone auto care store on 9/12/2009, the store insisted that i needed to have my car brake pads replaced. Then, on my way home from the firestone store after the oil-change and brake services, my new brakes started having problems. Firestone did not tell me what happened to my new brakes when i returned to the store next day. I later on learned that 1) firestone had installed incorrect brake pads on my car on 9/12/2009 and 2) their mechanics had kept the incorrect brake pads on my car during my return visit on 9/13/2009.then, in may of 2012, i started hearing noises from the brakes again.firestone inspected my brakes and insisted that they did nothing wrong during my september of 2009 visits and that i needed to have 1) my brake caliper system replaced, 2) the rotors replaced, 3)the 2009 firestone-installed incorrect brake pads replaced with the same incorrect but new brake pads.i took my car to the honda dealer and learned that there was nothing wrong with the brake caliper system and that the incorrect brake pads had caused damage to the rotor.i reported these issues to firestone's customer care department and they never responded to my complaint.i have not been able to drive my car for more than a year and the incorrect brake pads firestone installed in 2009 are still on my car.since 1600 firestone auto care stores in us share the same auto parts system, these stores must have installed the incorrect brake pads on many cars between 9/12/2009 and 6/2/2012 and put many motorists at danger. Since their customer-care department has chosen not to investigate and respond to my complaint and not to do a general recall of cars whose brake pads firestone has replaced during that time period, they have chosen to put their company's profit ahead of motorists' safety and their well beings.can you help?

I pushed on the brake and the car would not stop. I was only going probably 5-10 miles per hour as i was approaching a stop sign. After pushing on the brake several times, the car slowed. As i recall, this happened once before over a year ago. I thought i might have been wearing too big of shoes and not hit the brake properly. It just happened again today. Luckily, traffic was slow as i was unable to stop at the stop sign.

My wife and i each separately encountered issues with steering and brakes possibly not working as intended.first occurred in october i believe, only couple months into the lease.i was almost run off on a highway, as i swerved to get out of the way..i lost control and spun out(did 360) and hit the right shoulder barrier.i didn't think anything of it at the time.chalked it up to bad luck.then may of this year, my wife on highway, braked hard to avoid hitting traffic in front of her that had braked hard as well.lost control of steering and again, did 360 spin and crashed into center divider. Now i'm a little leery, 2 incidents in less than 9 month span.both times it seems that we should've not lost control.
Initially my father borrowed this car and claimed the brakes were not working properly and he had difficulty driving the car. I did not believe him as i had not had any problems. Then on 7/20/02 when i applied the brake the car did not stop and i went through a red light and was unable to stop the car when i wanted to make a turn. I took the car to honda and they replaced the master cylinder. This happened again on 8/12/02 and the car was taken back and honda claimed there was air in the brake lines which they claimed to fix. On 8/26 the brakes totally failed on the highway and i refused to drive the car. They picked up the car on a flat bed and vacuumed the brake lines. The brakes are still spongy and there is long play in the brake pedal. When the brakes engage they do not engage totally. Sometimes the brakes engage and then disengage totally. I have seen the honda rep who says there is nothing wrong with the brakes and that it is my driving. I refuse to drive the car and traded cars with my husband. Yesterday 10/20/02 my husband went through a stop sign when the brakes did not engage. We are terrorized to drive this car as we feel we may kill someone or ourselves.dt

This is the 3rd brake failure (2 partial/1 complete) that we have had with this vehicle,all ofwhich have been reported to the dealership(technicians, management and owner), american honda, and nhtsa.on 4/22/02, odometer 498/traveling 25mph/dry pavement/smooth road, the abs and tcs warning indicator lights came on and remained on.i immediately pushed the brake pedal which had softened to a little less than half before engaging. Frightened, ipulled over using my emergency brake to safely stop the vehicle.after stopping, i placed the vehicle in park and pumped the brake several times in an attempt to get the brake pedal to re-engage properly.it did not and both warning light indicators remained on.because i was 1 block from the house and there were no other vehicles on the road, i decided to coast home at 5mph using the emergency brake.at my house, i placed the vehicle in park, left emergency brake engaged and turned off the vehicle.i immediately called the dealership with a detailed description and a tow truck was dispatched.it was determined to be a disconnected left abs sensor.i do not believe this is accurate nor is it consistent with the braking (and electrical) issues that we have experienced and previous repair attempts made by the dealership.i refused to pick up the vehicle on the grounds of this safety defect and the dealerships inability to accurately diagnose it.the vehicle was taken back by the dealership and we were placed in another new accord.i aggressively stated to peter heuy, his sales manager, service manager, and technician and american honda, that this vehicle contains a major safety defect in its brake system that an engineer from american honda needs to isolate before placing the vehicle back on the road.anything less than that is gross negligence.the dealership indicated this would not be done and the vehicle would be used as a demo.
The first incident happened as i was proceeding through a yied sign, the vehicle which preceeded me had come to a complete stop.when i applied my brakes, the car did not stop.the brake pedal was all the way to the floor.the only thing stopping the car was the impact with the other vehicle.because everything happen so fast, i assumed that i did not react quickly enough.on 1/24/03 was the second time this happened, there were two passengers in the car with me who witness the brake incident again.this time as i tried to vere to the right to avoid an accident, the steering column was locked and i was unable to steer the car.again the only thing that stopped the car was the impact.in both situations i was not traveling at a high rate of speed and there was ample time for the car to stop had the brakes worked.when i took it to the honda dealer, they said they had never heard of anything like that happening before.i insisted they check the vehicle out anyway and, of course, they couldn't find anything wrong.this is a great safety issue and under other circumstances the results could have been more serious or even fatal.
Dt: while driving, the vehicle ran great until 57000 miles, when the abs system failed. When driving 55 mph, came to a railroad crossing and applied when the brakes failed. Brakes pressure was felt but brakes did not grab and extended stopping distance was needed, and driver to engage the emergency brake in order to stop the vehicle.this occured on dry pavement on flat surface. Brakes were applied under normal braking conditions. The abs system is 4 wheel antilcock. There was no warning prior to failure. No problems with brakes before. When brakes were applied, the brake pedal did not feel any different than normal. Has had an estimate from a dealership, dealership reports that entire system must be replaced and all lines flushed at a cost of 2,300. Vehicle is regularly serviced with records available.
While braking and with no warning brake pedal will go to the floor, and it will be hard for consumer to stop. Dealer notified.the brake problem began right after the vehicle was purchased. The consumer returned the vehicle to the dealer four times for brake service but the dealer was unable to correct the problem.
My wife and i purchased a new honda accord to be used by our 21-year old son who is attending college at brigham young university.on saturday, dec. 15, 2001 he along with 3 other college students were in the car on the freeway.they were traveling in the fast lane at around 70 miles per hour., another car going the same direction lost control (reason unknown), spun out across the freeway, hit the center divider and stopped directly in the path of our son.naturally he hit his brakes, but it happened so fast that there was nothing they could do except hit the other car head-on at about 60 miles per hour.all four of the parties in our car were wearing their seat belts, which probably saved their lives.however, the air bags did not deploy.it is a miracle that someone wasn't severly injured.while all of the parties had some whip lash, no one had to go to the hospital.someone told my son that because he hit his brakes the front end of our honda was lowered and went underneath the bumper of the car they hit, which was a larger suv and thats why the airbags didn't deploy.i thought airbags deployed on impact to provide the protection they are designed to provide.the police report indicated that the driver of the suv who spun out was at fault.while we are really glad that our son and his friends were not severly injured i have concern for someone else who may not be as lucky.i hope this information is helpful.i did contact honda motor cars to file a complaint.about all they did was take my information, send me information on airbags and tell me to contact my insurance company.should you like additional information please feel free to give us a call.thanks for your assistance.

My accord is suffering from some severe rust on the passenger side sub frame. I recently discovered that it is worse than i had thought. The rust affects the area in which the sway bar is mounted to the frame, where the lower control arm is mounted, and also supports the engine. It is my understanding that this is a common problem with this year/make/model, caused by an a/c drain hose. I am concerned about my safety and hope honda hears my/our concerns.
For the steering, the power steering pump doesn't hold power steering fluid and when you go around a curve and there is a bump in the road, your steering wheel jerks the other way. It's way worse with no power steering but it is still there even if you have fluid. The transmission will jump in between first and second gear so roughly it feels like your transmission is going to fall out, sometimes you can't go because of it and it's almost caused some accidents. You can't get up to the speed you need to with it being so rough and jumpy. Then there is a ticking noise when i press on the gas peddle, from the timing belt and transistor. Some of these problems have been happening since i got the car, like the shifting and the steering. The ticking has been there but not as badly as it is now. I also know i'm not the only honda driver with these issues from this make and model and era for this car.
A loud, clunking sound began when i would go over uneven road or bumps in the road.this was followed by that loud, clunking noise appearing when i would turn the vehicle to the left and when i would go over bumps.finally, the loud, clunking noise was heard at all times driving, only coming from the passenger side.when my mechanic, who specializes in foreign cars, inspected my car he said the rear subframe on the passenger side was rusted almost completely through and was knocking on the rest of the frame/beam on that side.he indicated that the air conditioning drain tube is directly above this spot.when i asked how the subframe looked on the driver side, my mechanic replied that it looked good as new.i conclude that normal wear and tear and weather elements could not be solely responsible for such rusting on one side of the vehicle - that rust damage would be on both sides. I believe that the location of the a/c drain tube is majorly responsible for this damage and should be paid for by honda ($1500-$2000 estimate).i am extremely concerned about the my safety while in my vehicle now and need to repair this soon as i am afraid it will completely fall apart soon and very likely cause a crash. I do not see any recalls of the 2002 honda accord, but many complaints for the very same problem - which was fixed on later model accords.
Took my car to dealer to fix just the airbag issue but got my car back with broken starter relay even if i jump start my car it wont crank
I was making a right turn to merge into the middle lane on a highway service road where every car was waiting for the green light.i turned very slowly at low speed after stopping at the stop sign, and all of a sudden the steering wheel started to turn by itself, then my car turned 180 degrees, while the accelerator speeded up at a rapid pace, seeming to be stuck. My car jumped the curb, hit a sign, and finally stopped.the bumper cover came down, and i can see the bumper was damaged (pushed back in the middle about 2 inches), but both of my 2002 honda accord's air bags did not deploy at all.
While my 2002 honda accord coupe was still under warranty, my steering wheel got really tight probably around 20,000 miles which was around 2004.i took it to the dealership and they said there was a crack in my power steering fluid reservoir, so they replaced it.they also said i should never have to refill it, b/c you should never use that much power steering fluid for the life of the car. About 5 months ago, april 2008, i had brakes put on and the mechanic pointed out that my power steering reservoir was leaking, yet again.the car only has about 60,000 miles on it now.
My honda was hit and the airbags at the steering wheel went off and burnt my arm and it was very hard to breath
The rear beam of the front sub frame has completely rusted through on the passenger side of the car. This location directly affects the sway bar bushing mount as well as a body attachment to the sub frame. The car was exhibiting a squeaking/clunking noise during turns and has increased in frequency in a short matter of time. The rest of the front sub frame shows no signs of rust or damage while the passenger side is completely destroyed. It appears that the cause may be linked to the location of the ac drain hose directly above this location.
A steering stuck incident which could have become a major accident if it had happened on a busy road!while driving normally around 20mph in a 30 mph speed zone and trying to turn right, the steering was stuck and could not turn right. After proceeding straight, turned right with a great manual effort in steering by making a very wide right turn at the next signal (almost endangering cars in the other lane waiting at the signal) then moved into a parking lot where i found the steering could be neither turned right or left. An emergency roadside assistance was summoned and he tightened some loose nut (which had resulted in the belt becoming loose). Reported the incident to american honda motor co (1-800-999-1009) on 12/28/09 after the christmas holidays. Had the vehicle serviced at mcdavid honda of irving. If this incident had happened on the major highway, it could have led to an accident. Do not understand why a car being regularly serviced at an authorized dealer could have a steering failure?
The contact owns a 2002 honda accord. The contact stated that the vehicle shook and made an abnormal noise. The srs and maintenance lights illuminated. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 15v320000 (air bags) and stated that the part needed for the repair was not available. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 219,000.

Driving around 60 m/p/h on 08/12/15 , a bang came from the right passenger side of the car. When i got home i inspected theproblem. The engine sub-frame had rotten and fell apart, i was very lucky i did'nt have a bad accident. I went online and found out that honda had it ac drainpipe directs water, which is right onto the sub-frame in this section, which cause it to rust out faster than the rest of the frame.i will be getting it repaired, because my granddaugther need this car to get work & college. Honda motor should repay me.i understand that honda know about this problem some years ago. (1999 - 2002 problem).
Problems with vehicle's steering and suspension. *mr there were steering problems, clicking noises that had run through the shifter and the steering wheel when placed into gear.there was no problem found in the steering or the suspension.the steering wheel did not return completely and when it did it would do so slowly, it also moved in circles.the brake pedal made noises when it was applied and metal like noises that had come from beneath the vehicle.the vehicle drove rough over bumps.when stepping on the brake pedal before going into gear, it felt as if the vehicle was already in park.the consumer was told that the vehicle rode rough due to too much air pressure in the tires (over 50lbs of pressure in two of the tires. *scc the front brake pads and rack and pinion were replaced.
As i slowed to make a u-turn (turning the steering wheel left) on a residential street, the right front lower ball joint broke. The car collapsed on to that wheel and the engine stalled. The right axle was pulled out in the process. As i waited for the tow truck i looked and noticed the shaft where the screw connects to the ball joint was split in half. It was a loud frightening moment and now that wheel was sticking out away from the car with the other still in place. I lifted the car up with the jack...the cars fender edge collapsed onto that tire and i was afraid the sharp pressure could make it blow. I am thankful this happened on a residential street with no traffic at a low speed. I had just finished driving the car about 20 miles that morning and wondered what if this would have broken on me on the freeway going through a hilly curve or hitting a pothole. The car was able to be repaired. The ball joint and axle where replaced but it could have been worst was the message the tow truck driver told me, and i knew it also.
My srs light is on ...does that have to do with the recall of the airbag problem???? , i constantly deal with steering problems.replaced my struts at least twice!!!i really would like to get some help!!! the srs light came on a couple of months ago when i go in my car to go somewhere as it sat over night!
Power steering fluid leaking from pressure line hose.steering control seems strange and burning oil smell coming from engine.honda has recall for same item on 2003-2007 models.if same problem for same part is evident on2002 model is this vehicle at risk for losing steering control and possible fire hazard?if so, why wouldn't the recall extend to 2002 models and should honda fix for free?if not, are you saying there is no safety problem to be concerned with?
While not crashes or injuries have been related to the honda vehicle i own, there are a number of engineering and manufacturing defects on the vehicle which are a cause of serious safety concerns.i have a 2002 honda accord with about 131,000 miles which has had the following issues:1. The transmission went out around 60,000 miles and was replaced by honda.at around 100,000 miles the transmission started to exhibit same symptoms. I took the car in, but, of course, honda dealer said there is nothing wrong. Then around 116,000 miles a honda mechanic said that my model of a car has an issue with transmissions and that it would need to be replaced.the transmission issue is bad enough to have a website dedicated to it. While a transmission failing is not necessarily a safety issue, loosing vehicle control and drivable on the highway could be.2. Now the vehicle starts to vibrate at highway speeds despite having new and balanced tires on it. I took the car in to get new struts.since then i took the car to a mechanic of very high integrity (not the honda dealer) and they said that unfortunately, the problem may simply be ?impossible? to fix since everything they could see indicated that car should behave normally, i.e. The tires were fine, the alignment was fine, and the cv joints were fine.this is becoming more and more of the issue and indicates a possible design flaw with the vehicle.3. The lights on the vehicle are horrible.this is a safety issue as it seriously impairs the vehicle drivability.4. The rails for the driver's seat had to be replaced around 32,000 miles and now (at around 130,000 miles) the seat seems to wobble again. This could be a potential safety issue as it seems that the seat could simply detach in the case of an accident. Updated 05/07/10.
The contact owns a 2002 honda accord. The contact stated that while driving, the steering wheel was very difficult to steer in either direction. Upon inspection, it was discovered that the power steering fluid was leaking unto the catalytic converters. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the power steering hose and pump were defective and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. Additionally, while driving a grinding noise was heard coming from the transmission and the transmission started to slip with the check engine warning light illuminated. The mechanic indicated that the transmission torque converter was defective and the transmission need to be rebuilt or replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The local dealer was not notified. The failure mileage was 80,000.
The middle of my steering wheel or where my airbag would deploy is sticky and the vinyl has lost its integrity.my center console under the dashboard has melted to the point i have had to cover it with felt becauseeverything sticks to it. It's like tar.approximately a year ago, i called honda and spoke to a representative who told me she never heard of such a problem, and that unfortunately i was not covered under warranty anymore. She would make note of it. I was to take it to a dealer to see what they had to say about it. Maybe they would have a cleaner to solve the problem. Knowing there would be no cleaner in the world to get rid of the goo, i did not make an appointment. I did, however, just recently see a segment on our local news featuring 'melting dashboards" which described my problem. My car is garage kept. I lived in new jersey and moved to florida in 2006.
The contact owns a 2002 honda accord. While driving various speeds, the steering wheel made an abnormal rattling sound while driving over a bump and the horn sounded. In order to disengage the horn, the contact would have to knock the middle of the steering wheel several times. The vehicle was taken to planet honda (2285 route 22 west, union, nj 07083, (908) 964-1600), but the failure could not be duplicated. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 220,000.
The first incident happened as i was proceeding through a yied sign, the vehicle which preceeded me had come to a complete stop.when i applied my brakes, the car did not stop.the brake pedal was all the way to the floor.the only thing stopping the car was the impact with the other vehicle.because everything happen so fast, i assumed that i did not react quickly enough.on 1/24/03 was the second time this happened, there were two passengers in the car with me who witness the brake incident again.this time as i tried to vere to the right to avoid an accident, the steering column was locked and i was unable to steer the car.again the only thing that stopped the car was the impact.in both situations i was not traveling at a high rate of speed and there was ample time for the car to stop had the brakes worked.when i took it to the honda dealer, they said they had never heard of anything like that happening before.i insisted they check the vehicle out anyway and, of course, they couldn't find anything wrong.this is a great safety issue and under other circumstances the results could have been more serious or even fatal.
My wife and i each separately encountered issues with steering and brakes possibly not working as intended.first occurred in october i believe, only couple months into the lease.i was almost run off on a highway, as i swerved to get out of the way..i lost control and spun out(did 360) and hit the right shoulder barrier.i didn't think anything of it at the time.chalked it up to bad luck.then may of this year, my wife on highway, braked hard to avoid hitting traffic in front of her that had braked hard as well.lost control of steering and again, did 360 spin and crashed into center divider. Now i'm a little leery, 2 incidents in less than 9 month span.both times it seems that we should've not lost control.

I purchased this vehicle, a 2002 honda accord ex v-6, in 2008 with 45,000 miles. I began to notice hesitation when changing gears, and a hard jerk that would occur while first gear changes to second gear. I took it to the local honda dealership, and they could not find anything wrong with the vehicle. Six years later at 130,000 miles, my vehicle still does the same thing while driving. I have talked with other honda owners, same model, and they all have had the same problem. I don't understand why this issue has not been recognized yet. It is not only unsafe, but unfair to not provide owners with some type of resolution. Don't even get me started on the clearcoat that has also worn off.
The clear coat on my honda accord is peeling off the car.the car has been well maintained.the paint is now greatly affecting my resale value and seems to be a common problem with honda paint.
Reflection of the dashboard is causing poor visibility during inclement weather, as well as at different lighting situations.
The subframe that supports the engine/transaxle and the front suspension is rusting through on the right side.this can result in a catastrophic failure during operation of the vehicle, and appears to be a very common defect in this generation of accords.most mechanics attribute the cause of the defect to the location of the airconditioner drain tube that drips condensation onto the subframe while it is running.
Problem with structure - vehicle making a knocking/crunching noise.took it to honda dealership and was advised that the subframe on the front passenger side, below where the ac unit drains, is rusted through.the car was deemed unsafe and inoperable.to the extent that this was the result of a design defect - i.e., where the ac unit/draining is placed - the manufacturer should be made aware of it and perhaps recall vehicles to protect consumers from injury.

Notice the sub-frame is rusting apart when i was changing my brakes on the passenger side.
When driving along the highway the traction control light pops on along with the side air bag light. My transmission seems to be going out. When i'm at a complete stop and attempt to proceed through a green light the car seems to not want to get gas. I'm not sure what the problem is. Can someone please help me?
Honda accord 2002, failed inspection, front passenger side sub frame completely rotted out. Contacted dealer, quoted me over $3000 for repair. No recall as of yet, speaking with head tech at honda states this is a common problem. Car is not drivable, major safety concern.

I was traveling home in the far north bound lane going 40 mph and was hit head on by a dodge durangotraveling south bound in the far right lane. (2 lanes each way with a center.) i was driving and the airbag exploded as the durango cut off another car and hit head onto me. The airbag explosion produced a burning smell which i thought the car was on fire but it was the airbag explosion. My face was very red and swollen and just felt on fire from the explosion which covered my face. I had a scratch in my left eye and needed a rinse and a small laceration above my eye. My right hand was swollen immediately and was throbbing from the grip of the wheel and the airbag explosion. My right pinky was totally numb for quite a while with radiating pain up the right arm. The right had still has issues with grasping things and dropping them. I had and still have headaches from the jolt and neck injury especially in the frontal area. I noticed my speech became slurred and thoughts took longer to process when speaking to people. On the job this created difficulty.

Upon inspection of this vehicle, part of the front subframe had rusted through, from the air conditioner condenser hose emptying on top of it.attached photos show the extent of visible damage; other damage within this structure is not visible to the eye.honda refers to this part as the "rear beam," part number 50200-s87-a00. The steering rack and front suspension components attach to this part, along with the rear engine mount, and can cause loss of control of the vehicle, and serious personal injury.this is a very common and very dangerous flaw in this generation of accord.
Every time i drove the car the front passenger side was making noises at the wheel.i had my mechanic take the wheel off to check it.he noticed that the subframe is completely rusted through.i tried to purchase the part from honda estore and they don't sell a subfame so i called over 25 used parts stores and all 25 or so places told me the same thing "on every 1999-2002 honda that we've seen that part is rusted away".i would like to know why this part has not been recalled since it is such a large problem with everyone that i've spoke to.
November 2016.noticed that there was a creeking sound coming from passenger side of the car when driving it.my mechanic told me that sub frame holding the engine has rusted out on the passenger side and that the car is not road worthy.his exact words were "the engine could pop out at any time" and that "he would not drive it".
The glove box does not close properly.occasionally, the driver seat belt will not retract.dealer found that the belt was curled/twisted.states driver's seat is loose and sometimes upon acceleration and braking, there is movement in the seat.dealer found track was faulty, but problem still exists.the airbag indicator light came on.dealer advised that the required part to rectify the problem would be ordered however no one has contacted consumer regarding this matter.
I was involved in a frontal crash and none of the airbags deployed. The vehicle was deemed a total loss by the insurance company; no injuries in either vehicle.oct 26, 2018 intersection of maine avenue and 7th street, s.w., washington, dc
While at shop, my mechanic noticed the subframe and frame on passenger side of my accord were severely rusted and would not pass inspection.as others noted, this is a design defect due to a ac drain and the driver side frame and subframe are in good condition as is the rest of the vehicle.i take good care of my cars and there is no rust any other place on the vehicle.honda changed this design in 2003, but have not offered any recall to date on the prior models.the nhtsa should launch an investigation into this since honda is not owning up to this and it seems to be very common in vehicles built before 2003.

The clear coat and paint is almost completely dissolved on the roof, trunk and hood of my nighthawk-colored honda. This started less than 3 years from the purchase of this car!! i was not aware of all of the other complaints at that time. I have always taken extremely good care of my car, inside and out. It currently only has approximately 45,000 miles on it, and the paint looks absolutely horrid. This is not normal oxidation, it's clearly a defect in the paint, just like all of the other complaints/pictures online of other hondas with the same defective paint issue. Help!
Right side subframe by rear connecting point rotted through with holes under where right lower control arm connects to subframe.most likely caused from a/c drain dripping directly on subframe.vehicle will not pass state safety inspection.contacted local honda dealership and they stated this is a common issue.
While inspecting my 2002 honda accordi noticed the front passenger side sub-frame is rotting out and appears to be close to breaking apart. This looks to be extremely dangerous.
Paint failure.paint is peeling and fading.honda should stand behind this product.
Hello,my 2002 honda accord coupe paint on the hood, top, and trunk has deteriorated quite badly.it is hard to describe, but the clear coat has disintegrated and the paint almost looks diseased (for lack of a better word).it has affected the hood, top, and trunk,i appreciate any help or guidance you could give me.thank you,
Was in an accident on the expressway where a latter flew out of the back of a guys truck and became to a complete stop and i hit him when i couldn't stop fast enough and no air bags deployed. I was berrybruised up and i did go to the hostpital.
Paint/clear coat is peeling/dissolving pretty bad on the trunk and the roof. Trim along windows is also beginning to peel. Honda dealership won't take care of me,i love the car, but it is completely embarrassing driving around with this paint problem and $3000 to fix shoddy paint from the factory is not something i feel i should be responsible for. There are many instances of the defective clear coat and it is not our fault they tried to cheap out on the paint and we are being made to pay the price. We have always bought our cars new and have owned many hondas.we are very disappointed as we are driving a car that looks horrible.we have other cars that are parked outside as well and none of the others have this problem. Something needs to be done so that honda fixes their clear coat issue to loyal buyers of their cars.shame on honda.
The contact owns a 2002 honda accord. The contact stated that a crack appeared in the subframe on the passenger side of the vehicle due to rust. There were no warning indicators illuminated.

The sub frame is rusted away on the passenger side.i noticed it while i was driving.if i would've kept driving the vehicle and the rusted frame gave way, me and my kids or other passengers in vehicles on the road could have been injured or even killed
The rear front sub-frame or cross member of my vehicle has rusted out on the passengers side due to the a/c dripping on that certain part of the vehicle.the drivers side is almost in perfect condition.this is happening to all the models 98-02.if something isn't done there will be an accident.the repairs are very expensive and it's almost impossible to find a used part because this happens to all the vehicles.it's my understanding that honda knows about it but only address when asked, they have not informed the public of this potential hazard.it is an engineering flaw of honda's that is going to get someone hurt.toyota did the right thing with their trucks when the frames were splitting in half, honda should as well.2002 honda accord ex coupe.
2002 honda accord with 115,000 miles making clunking noises when driven, made worse with turns.took to a master mechanic 2 days ago who initially said that the sway bar was loose and needed to be replaced.he called me the next day and said that it's a lot worse than just the sway bar, that the sub frame is rusted on the passenger side and there's a hole.if the sub frame breaks while driving, it could be a very bad situation causing an accident. The vehicle is not drivable until repaired and the cost could exceed the value of the car if a new sub frame is used.in the past 4 years i have purchased 3 honda vehicles, this accord, a 2010 civic, and a 2010 crv, but if honda doesn't take ownership of this design flaw (where the ac drain is constantly dripping on the sub frame causing it to rust) and do the right thing, i will never purchase another honda in my life.i bought this car 2 years ago from a local dealership who i no longer trust and will never deal with again.you can't tell me that they didn't know about the rust when they sold me this vehicle for my then 16-year old daughter.i'm disgusted with the dealership as well as honda.i am also very disappointed with the clear coat peeling off the body of the car.it looks awful.
Went for oil change found right side sub frame rusted out.
The subframe has rusted due to a design flaw by honda ... The ac drains on it. This creates a safety issue and the potential for a fatal crash to occur.
Hit a pothole, and heard loud crack.body shop found large crack in subframe and deemed unrepairable.found large rusted area on subframe, which was deemed a "honda defect" and state farm refused to cover the claim.honda reports there was no recall.
The contact owns a 2002 honda accord. The contact was driving 20 mph when she applied the brakes in order to enter a residential neighborhood. She then crashed into another vehicle and the air bags deployed. The air bag crushed and fractured the contact's arm. In addition, the engine was pushed into the vehicle, causing the contact to sustain fractured feet and ankles. The vehicle was towed from the scene. A police report was not available. The vehicle was not inspected.the manufacturer was not contacted. The failure and current mileages were170,000.

The contact owns a 2002 honda accord. While driving at any speed, the vehicle made a clicking noise when making a turn. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the front passenger side soft frame was rotted out.the mechanic explained that the failure was caused by the air condition hose which drained water on the frame. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but refused to take responsibility, explaining that the vehicle was old and was not included in any recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 180,000.
I am the original owner of a 2002 honda accord.the passenger side subframe is badly corroded, due to the a/c drain hose dripping onto the subframe.the driver's side looks fine though.i noticed the issue, after reading about complaints from other owners and checked out of curiosity.i have been quoted $2000-$2500 to replace the subframe (about a $1,000 for the subframe and another $1,000-$1,500 for labor)and was told this is a safey issue.if the subframe were to fracture, the handling of the vehicle could be compromised and steering will cease.
The rear beam of the front sub frame has completely rusted through on the passenger side of the car. This location directly affects the sway bar bushing mount as well as a body attachment to the sub frame. The car was exhibiting a squeaking/clunking noise during turns and has increased in frequency in a short matter of time. The rest of the front sub frame shows no signs of rust or damage while the passenger side is completely destroyed. It appears that the cause may be linked to the location of the ac drain hose directly above this location.
The contact owns a 2002 honda accord. The contact stated that while having the vehicle inspected, he was informed by the inspector that the passenger side sub-frame was rusted and needed to be replaced. The contact did not notify a dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 137,000.
The paint is peeling off in huge areas.i have a '94 buick that has no paint issues and has been outside its whole life.this '02 accord has been garaged its whole life and should not have this problem.
During a professional safety inspection, the certified mechanic spotted rotted/rusted suspension cross k-frame "rear beam" (part #: 50200-s84-a00) on the passenger/right side. Immediate replacement is recommended.i was also told that such replacement should not been done typically if no accident involved. Esp., since severe corrosion happened only on the passenger/right side, it might be related to the design of the drainage of the a/c right above the rusted part.
My honda was hit and the airbags at the steering wheel went off and burnt my arm and it was very hard to breath
Investigating some strange issues, pulling and clunks at speed and bumps, tranny issues and nose from the front of my car i decided to do an inspection. I took the passenger front wheel off and discovered rust holes right threw the rear beam of the front sub frame! iscompletely rusted out, this car is a safety hazard. It will not pass inspection in my state and my family and i are terrified to drive it. This honda has been in my family since new. And has been dealer maintained for all the major service over the past 11 years and this was never seen? its not like it just happened today in march of 2013! i looked around under the car and under the hood, i see the drain tube for the ac drips right on the spot the frame is rusted threw! then i took the drivers side wheel off and there is no rust at all! this is a tragic defect. What if the passenger side frame is to snap when i'm driving it? this is unbelievable that car in other wise pristine condition with only less than 91,000 would have this kind of rust and would have to suffer such a hideous flaw like this. I cant afford to fix this now. Its going to be well over $1500 and not only that my life and my family's life is priceless. Again the rear beam of the front sub frame is rusted threw due to the fact the ac drain tube drips directly on this spot. No other rust on the rest of the sub frame. Potential death trap.
My car is completely unsafe to drive.it stalls while driving.it has stopped on highways, busy intersections, daytime-nightime. Honda dealership as well as other repair shops have told me that nothing shows up on their electrical tests.they test drive and it doesn't happen.the car will go 2 -3 between occurences, but it happens. The ignition switch has been replaced.presently, the car is a death trap at 125,000 mileage.i have read that this happens to other hondas.if this is true, this warrants a recall.the hood on my accord does not close. There has been a problem with this for several months.
Ac fluid drip system on the subframe passenger side and rust it until it breaks it's a huge safety hazard for many people kids included it's how honda made the car so there should be a recall on the car with the mistakes they've made making the car and placing the parts in those spots for that to happen someone could crash and die because of thatthere are tons of articales and complaint and 1.5million + honda accords from 99-02 are like this it wasn't changed until 03 honda can't deny the mistake they've made by put parts in the spots for that to happen people's lives are at risk and they deserve recalls

Driver side seat shakes/moves when accelerating or appling brakes, the dealer replaced the track but the problem still exist, the windshield wipers are sluggish and the left wiper was very noisy and left streak on the windshield, the glove box door would not close properly, the drivers seat belt would not retract intermittently due to the belt being twisted/curled, the left rear door would not close properly, fog lights were out of focus, the air bag light illuminated. *nlm
My car is a 2002 honda accord. The chrome plating on the front interior door handles peels away from the plastic substrate. The exposed chrome causes lacerations similar to those caused by a scalpel. These bleed profusely. This has happened several times. Honda simply says the vehicle is beyond warranty. My wife owns a 2007 accord and the same thing is happening on her interior door handles. These have resulted in several lacerations both to her and to me.
Consumer states the left rear door does not close properly.
The contact owns a 2002 honda accord. Upon inspection of the liftgate, the contact noticed that the vehicle retained excessive water from the tail lamp assembly. The dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was notified and provided case number: 06603477. The contact was informed that recalls were administered and enforced by nhtsa and was advised to call nhtsa. The failure mileage was approximately 121,430.
I have owned 3 honda accords, a 1985, 1991, and a 2002, and have good experiences with all three.the 2002 honda accord however has a hard hand grip on both sides of the front seat.when i am driving, occasionally, i will hit my head on this hard had grip.i feel that if i were in an accident that it would take the top of my head off.this is dangeroug and should be replaced with a folding handle like the previous hondas had.
Consumer states that trunk lid does not stay up when opened.when trunk is opened lid falls back down.consumer and other family members have been hit in the head several times while loading and unloading items from the trunk.consumer contacted manufacturer who advised that trunk is operating within specifications. Ts
When trunk is opened the littlest movement will make trunk fall back down, which caused consumer to be injured.
The trunk lid is not stable when lifted up and will fall down easily. For many times, when we are loading stuff into the trunk, the trunk lid will fall down unexpected. The action of puting a luggage or grocery bag into the trunk will shake the car a little bit, which is normal for most cars, but the unusual thing for this honda accord is that the trunk lid will fall down by this shaking. I was hit by the trunk lid several times and i would expect some serious injury could happen to someone.another complaint about the trunk lid is the sealing. I live in southen california so rain is rare. But a heavy rain caused the trunk became a pool and the trunk mat is fully soaked. Although at that time, the car was still under the honda certified warranty, honda told me the trunk sealing is not covered.what even angered me about honda's service is they put an unmatched spare tire into my trunk. I found that out after having this car for more than 2 years and had a flat tire.
My honda accord 2002 vehicle id number [xxx]....my wife and i on several occasions have opened the truck lid....looked in the trunk ( to remove groceries or luggage) and had the trunk lid come down suddenly and strikes us on the head. The trunk lid does not lock properly in place.

While taking off my tires to inspect the tierods and brakes i noticed a significant amount of rust on the passenger side front end vehicle subframe directly below the air conditioner drain line.it is rusted through currently only on the top side but it is a matter of time until this progresses to the underside as well.this leaves only the lower portion to hold the suspension and engine in place.i did some research and found many others have had this problem seeming caused by the drain line being positioned directly above this piece of the subframe.i purchased this vehicle a year ago from a local honda dealership that in hind sight definitely seemed like they were trying to get rid of a lemon.there were a number of other issues with the car (electrical, etc) and now i find this.this car was serviced at this dealership its entire life (since new) and the dealership absolutely should have noticed this subframe rotting as they performed routine oil changes, tire changes, tire rotations, etc.i believe that honda should be responsible for this since 1) the vehicle was purchased and maintained at the honda dealership and 2) it seems to be a significant design flaw to have the drain immediately above this area...the drivers side does not show any rust at all and appears structurally sound.
Your urgent response and an action needed 1.request for an immediately recall for honda accord lx 2002 models as having dangerous transmission problems, widespread transmission failure, subframe rust, & problems with the airbag system (srs ), and overall the cars safety or quality numerous concerns.2.to fix the problems andrefund caused damages and personal injuriesdue to it, refundpaidpurchase costincluding damages, replace to a new car with includedpaidanddamagesoccurredto whom it may concern,2002 honda accordproblems & complaints carcomplaints.com notes: the 2002 honda accord suffers from widespread transmission failure, subframe rust, & problems with the airbag system (srs). We recommend avoiding this model year like the plague. The transmission begins slipping & eventually has to be replaced, typically soon after 90,000 miles & with a repair cost of over $2,000. Transmission failure has been a huge problem for the accord & several other honda models all through the early 2000s model years. Honda extended the transmission warranty to 93 months/109k miles for the 2000-2001 accord as a class action lawsuit settlement, but owners of other accord model years with transmission problems are out of luck.subframe rust near the front passenger side wheel has become a problem recently, due to the poorly positioned a/c drain hose directly above that area. Repair cost to the subframe is over $2,000.the srs warning light likes to come on due to a defective seat belt sensor -- typically the driver's side. This sensor is covered under honda's lifetime seat belt warranty, but some dealers charge a $100+ "diagnostic fee" or tell customers the entire srs unit ($800) is bad.
Honda has a manufacturing defect for a rear beam place. At the honda dealership, a honda and state of michigan certified mechanic has certified that honda put cars in production with a defective place for air conditioning drain. The drain from the air conditioner comes straight on the top of the rear beam and make this piece of metal corroded and rust out. The position for drain has not been manufactured in the right place. The cause is to break the rear beam and put the driver in extensive danger with having car running on less than four wheels and driving on highway can kill a person along with others may get hit with the vehicle. Repair costs $2000.00.
A loud, clunking sound began when i would go over uneven road or bumps in the road.this was followed by that loud, clunking noise appearing when i would turn the vehicle to the left and when i would go over bumps.finally, the loud, clunking noise was heard at all times driving, only coming from the passenger side.when my mechanic, who specializes in foreign cars, inspected my car he said the rear subframe on the passenger side was rusted almost completely through and was knocking on the rest of the frame/beam on that side.he indicated that the air conditioning drain tube is directly above this spot.when i asked how the subframe looked on the driver side, my mechanic replied that it looked good as new.i conclude that normal wear and tear and weather elements could not be solely responsible for such rusting on one side of the vehicle - that rust damage would be on both sides. I believe that the location of the a/c drain tube is majorly responsible for this damage and should be paid for by honda ($1500-$2000 estimate).i am extremely concerned about the my safety while in my vehicle now and need to repair this soon as i am afraid it will completely fall apart soon and very likely cause a crash. I do not see any recalls of the 2002 honda accord, but many complaints for the very same problem - which was fixed on later model accords.
While getting my required yearly ny state inspection (performed by a certified honda mechanic) the subframe rear beam (cross member) wasfound to be unsafe and rusting out with holes on the passenger side. The mechanic told me that this was a common problem due to a design flaw that allows for the collection of water at the problem spot. It is a very expensive fix that he was surprised that honda has not recalled because it happens so frequently and is a safety concern.. The rest of the undercarriage and frame was in good condition. Why hasn't honda recalled this safety issue?
The sub-frame is rusted/rotted through on the passenger-side front adjacent to oil drain plug. I went to a mechanic for a power steering system inspection and they pointed out the extent of rust damage and told me the car was unsafe to drive. I looked into the prevalence of this issue and found this is a common defect affecting only the sub-frame at the passenger-side front.
I was changing some unrelated parts on my car when i realized my passenger side sub frame rear beam was almost completely rusted through while the driver side is fine. If this would snap it could pose a significant safety issue in my opinion. After doing some research online realized that this is a major issue with this generation of accord.
On august 3, notice a loud cracking sound in right front of car. Took car to honda dealer aug. 9. Was contacted by service representative, stated front cross beam was cracked nearly into two pieces and that due to the serious dangerous condition of the car it can not be driven. I was asked to come and observe the condition. Upon arriving i asked how this could occur, car is garaged, excellent condition, well maintained. I was informed they have seen this condition before and that the air conditioning drains onto this beam making it wet all the time. They believe this helped the beam rust, in one area only, until eventually nearly breaking into 2 pieces. I asked if honda acknowledged this defect i was told they know the drain drips on the beam and that they have seen this before but there was no recall?? i called honda usa for assistance on this extremely dangerous safety condition, i was instructed that because of the cars age they would not assist. I was only asking for honda to supply the part, i was willing to pay the labor costs. If this front cross beam would have broken completely through while driving it certainly would have caused a traffic crash resulting in injury or worse. I learned that honda recognized the safety problemand changed the ac drain location in newer models years 2004 or 2005 so that it no longer drains onto the beam. This is a serious safety condition that certainly has had to result in traffic crashes, hopefully no injuries have occurred.
Sub frame is rotted through on passenger side front adjacent to where the oil drain plug is located.i've been taking my car to the local honda of mentor dealership for oil changes for years.no mention of this problem when they have completed their safety checks.most recent oil change was in the last 30 days.the sub frame is not rusting at all on the other side of the vehicle.

My accord is suffering from some severe rust on the passenger side sub frame. I recently discovered that it is worse than i had thought. The rust affects the area in which the sway bar is mounted to the frame, where the lower control arm is mounted, and also supports the engine. It is my understanding that this is a common problem with this year/make/model, caused by an a/c drain hose. I am concerned about my safety and hope honda hears my/our concerns.

My srs light is on ...does that have to do with the recall of the airbag problem???? , i constantly deal with steering problems.replaced my struts at least twice!!!i really would like to get some help!!! the srs light came on a couple of months ago when i go in my car to go somewhere as it sat over night!
The contact owns a 2002 honda accord. While driving various speeds, a clunking sound emitted from the front passenger side of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the technician stated that the drain for the air conditioner leaked onto the subframe and caused it to become rusted and fractured. The technician also stated that the vehicle was unsafe to drive and the part was unable to be replaced. The contact stated that the vehicle hesitated to respond between second and third gears without warning. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the transmission slipped; however, a repair was not provided. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 130,000.

Investigating some strange issues, pulling and clunks at speed and bumps, tranny issues and nose from the front of my car i decided to do an inspection. I took the passenger front wheel off and discovered rust holes right threw the rear beam of the front sub frame! iscompletely rusted out, this car is a safety hazard. It will not pass inspection in my state and my family and i are terrified to drive it. This honda has been in my family since new. And has been dealer maintained for all the major service over the past 11 years and this was never seen? its not like it just happened today in march of 2013! i looked around under the car and under the hood, i see the drain tube for the ac drips right on the spot the frame is rusted threw! then i took the drivers side wheel off and there is no rust at all! this is a tragic defect. What if the passenger side frame is to snap when i'm driving it? this is unbelievable that car in other wise pristine condition with only less than 91,000 would have this kind of rust and would have to suffer such a hideous flaw like this. I cant afford to fix this now. Its going to be well over $1500 and not only that my life and my family's life is priceless. Again the rear beam of the front sub frame is rusted threw due to the fact the ac drain tube drips directly on this spot. No other rust on the rest of the sub frame. Potential death trap.
Problems with vehicle's steering and suspension. *mr there were steering problems, clicking noises that had run through the shifter and the steering wheel when placed into gear.there was no problem found in the steering or the suspension.the steering wheel did not return completely and when it did it would do so slowly, it also moved in circles.the brake pedal made noises when it was applied and metal like noises that had come from beneath the vehicle.the vehicle drove rough over bumps.when stepping on the brake pedal before going into gear, it felt as if the vehicle was already in park.the consumer was told that the vehicle rode rough due to too much air pressure in the tires (over 50lbs of pressure in two of the tires. *scc the front brake pads and rack and pinion were replaced.
I jus got into the vehicle in a parking lot along hugh howell rd reverse from out of my parking space as soon as i put the vehicle in drive i heard a loud revved coming from the engine the car then sped off i tried to stopped it but they brakes would not stop it.

The contact owns a 2002 honda accord. While driving approximately 40 mph, the front end of the vehicle made an abnormal noise. There were no warning indicators illuminated. In addition, the vehicle veered in the opposite direction. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the axle, tie rod, and bearings needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. An unknown dealer was contacted about the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and did not assist. The failure mileage and vin were unknown.
Upon inspection of this vehicle, part of the front subframe had rusted through, from the air conditioner condenser hose emptying on top of it.attached photos show the extent of visible damage; other damage within this structure is not visible to the eye.honda refers to this part as the "rear beam," part number 50200-s87-a00. The steering rack and front suspension components attach to this part, along with the rear engine mount, and can cause loss of control of the vehicle, and serious personal injury.this is a very common and very dangerous flaw in this generation of accord.
Driving around 60 m/p/h on 08/12/15 , a bang came from the right passenger side of the car. When i got home i inspected theproblem. The engine sub-frame had rotten and fell apart, i was very lucky i did'nt have a bad accident. I went online and found out that honda had it ac drainpipe directs water, which is right onto the sub-frame in this section, which cause it to rust out faster than the rest of the frame.i will be getting it repaired, because my granddaugther need this car to get work & college. Honda motor should repay me.i understand that honda know about this problem some years ago. (1999 - 2002 problem).

While brake work was being done on the 2002 honda accord ex, the mechanic noticed that the engine sub-frame was badly worn and in danger of collapse.the car cannot be moved safely.
When i purchased my 2002 ex honda accord in 2015; i thought i was getting a reliable dependable car.honda is know for its reliability but little did i know that the whole sub-frame (front & back was fully rusted). My srs warning light comes on quite often.the a/c drain i strongly believe was installed improperly which causes the sub-frame to rust and crack. I bought the car with only 82,358 miles and purchased a extended warranty through honda dealership which my powertrain only covered up to 90,000 miles.i had taken the car for its first oil change which was at 91,000 miles and all of a sudden i started to have powertrainproblems.even though on my bill of sale it stated as is honda dealership knew that a customers such as myself would look under the body of the car.i went online and have read numerous complaints about the same problem i was having with this model & year.also theirextended warranty problem was an issue.why is the federal government & states allowing honda to sell a car with improperly installed a/c drain,sub-frame rotting & crack issues, transmission failure, defective seat belt sensor. I pray that no one dies from this vehicle.1999-2002 models. I'm a mother of four with a non-curable disease and i just want my car to be fully repaired at the expense of honda. Driving on the highway and turning is dangerous for me to be operating but this is my only means of transportation.my mechanic has to me i shouldn't have purchase this vehicle but i didn't realize that honda would do there customers wrong like this just for a profit!!!!
As i slowed to make a u-turn (turning the steering wheel left) on a residential street, the right front lower ball joint broke. The car collapsed on to that wheel and the engine stalled. The right axle was pulled out in the process. As i waited for the tow truck i looked and noticed the shaft where the screw connects to the ball joint was split in half. It was a loud frightening moment and now that wheel was sticking out away from the car with the other still in place. I lifted the car up with the jack...the cars fender edge collapsed onto that tire and i was afraid the sharp pressure could make it blow. I am thankful this happened on a residential street with no traffic at a low speed. I had just finished driving the car about 20 miles that morning and wondered what if this would have broken on me on the freeway going through a hilly curve or hitting a pothole. The car was able to be repaired. The ball joint and axle where replaced but it could have been worst was the message the tow truck driver told me, and i knew it also.
I dropped my car off at the mechanic's to have my upper ball joints replaced.bob called me with an estimate and i gave him the go ahead to complete the repair.sadly, he called me back 2 hours later to tell me that there was no sense in spending the money on the repair because the subframe on the passenger side of the car was completely rusted out and that the car would soon fall apart. He said that he had never seen damage like that before, that it was odd for a car of that age, and that the rest of the car was in good condition.he advised me to contact honda to see if any recalls had been issued.i searched online and found no recalls (as you know) but found many complaints from others documenting the same issues.
While completing a routine oil change in a 2002 honda accord coupe ex, noticed the sub frame passenger side completely rusted in half (approximately 4-5 inch section). Rust caused by ac condensation from drain located directly above sub frame.remaining frame in excellent condition.
Three 4 wheel alignment done and vehicle still not safe to drive on highway.the consumer was finally told the camber could not be adjusted.
I was driving down the road when the car began to shake in the front. Upon inspection at a local firestone autocare center, it was discovered that the right side of the sub frame was rotted away and ready to collapase. I was told at the honda dealer it was a common problem and there was nothing they could do for me. This car is in very good condition yet the frame is rotted through . Im told its due to hondas design and that the a/c drain hose is likely the culprit. Dont they have an obligation to the consumers who trust them and buy their product to inform them of something so dangerous
During a professional safety inspection, the certified mechanic spotted rotted/rusted suspension cross k-frame "rear beam" (part #: 50200-s84-a00) on the passenger/right side. Immediate replacement is recommended.i was also told that such replacement should not been done typically if no accident involved. Esp., since severe corrosion happened only on the passenger/right side, it might be related to the design of the drainage of the a/c right above the rusted part.
The rear front sub-frame or cross member of my vehicle has rusted out on the passengers side due to the a/c dripping on that certain part of the vehicle.the drivers side is almost in perfect condition.this is happening to all the models 98-02.if something isn't done there will be an accident.the repairs are very expensive and it's almost impossible to find a used part because this happens to all the vehicles.it's my understanding that honda knows about it but only address when asked, they have not informed the public of this potential hazard.it is an engineering flaw of honda's that is going to get someone hurt.toyota did the right thing with their trucks when the frames were splitting in half, honda should as well.2002 honda accord ex coupe.

I looked into the prevalence of this issue and found this is a common defect affecting only the sub-frame at the passenger-side front.
The rear beam of the front sub frame has completely rusted through on the passenger side of the car. This location directly affects the sway bar bushing mount as well as a body attachment to the sub frame. The car was exhibiting a squeaking/clunking noise during turns and has increased in frequency in a short matter of time. The rest of the front sub frame shows no signs of rust or damage while the passenger side is completely destroyed. It appears that the cause may be linked to the location of the ac drain hose directly above this location.
A loud, clunking sound began when i would go over uneven road or bumps in the road.this was followed by that loud, clunking noise appearing when i would turn the vehicle to the left and when i would go over bumps.finally, the loud, clunking noise was heard at all times driving, only coming from the passenger side.when my mechanic, who specializes in foreign cars, inspected my car he said the rear subframe on the passenger side was rusted almost completely through and was knocking on the rest of the frame/beam on that side.he indicated that the air conditioning drain tube is directly above this spot.when i asked how the subframe looked on the driver side, my mechanic replied that it looked good as new.i conclude that normal wear and tear and weather elements could not be solely responsible for such rusting on one side of the vehicle - that rust damage would be on both sides.

While not crashes or injuries have been related to the honda vehicle i own, there are a number of engineering and manufacturing defects on the vehicle which are a cause of serious safety concerns.i have a 2002 honda accord with about 131,000 miles which has had the following issues:1. The transmission went out around 60,000 miles and was replaced by honda.at around 100,000 miles the transmission started to exhibit same symptoms. I took the car in, but, of course, honda dealer said there is nothing wrong. Then around 116,000 miles a honda mechanic said that my model of a car has an issue with transmissions and that it would need to be replaced.the transmission issue is bad enough to have a website dedicated to it. While a transmission failing is not necessarily a safety issue, loosing vehicle control and drivable on the highway could be.2. Now the vehicle starts to vibrate at highway speeds despite having new and balanced tires on it. I took the car in to get new struts.since then i took the car to a mechanic of very high integrity (not the honda dealer) and they said that unfortunately, the problem may simply be ?impossible? to fix since everything they could see indicated that car should behave normally, i.e. The tires were fine, the alignment was fine, and the cv joints were fine.this is becoming more and more of the issue and indicates a possible design flaw with the vehicle.3. The lights on the vehicle are horrible.this is a safety issue as it seriously impairs the vehicle drivability.4. The rails for the driver's seat had to be replaced around 32,000 miles and now (at around 130,000 miles) the seat seems to wobble again. This could be a potential safety issue as it seems that the seat could simply detach in the case of an accident. Updated 05/07/10.
Vehicle pulls right onto another lane when breaking to slow down to a stop at any speed on any surface even after two alignments were performed.advised by james r marsh (service advisor), don f. Decker (service manager), and jeff may (district manager) that the pulling is normal even after test drove other vehicles with the exact model which did not showed this problem.
While applying brakes a clicking noise was heard coming from the rear.consumertookvehicle to dealer for analysis, andmechanic noticed that the struts needed to be replaced due to worn out parts.
Three of the wheel bearings were replaced under warranty in the first 36,000 miles on the car.there are now 58,000 on the car, and another bearing is going bad.i am not sure at this time which bearing it is.
Loud noises coming from the rear of the vehicle while traveling over 30 mph.took vehicle to honda dealership - found out that the rear bearing(s) went bad - estimated cost to repair over $600.dealer was very helpful - they contacted honda and honda willing to perform a goodwll repair.my cost was $100.54.it's a honda accord - 4 cyc - ex model (2002), purchased on 12/27/01.at the time of the incident, it had 43000 miles.
On april 6 and july 1 of this year i was traveling at 70 mph on the interstate when a loud explosion occurred.the first time i thought i must have hit something or been near a gunshot.when the same thing happened months later the noise sounded as though it was in the cabin with me.no warning lights, difficulty in handling, or visible damage has appeared.the noise is sudden, without warning, and immense--ringing in ears an hour later--not to mention frightening.we replaced tires in june, and all regular maintenance has been done on schedule.there was a transmission problem when the car was brand new-a clunking noise-which was difficult to diagnose, and required extended days in the shop (nearly four of the first six weeks owned).it was finally eliminated when the shop "dismantled" the car, drained transmission fluid (twice) and did assorted other "fixes".i have contacted the service department concerning the explosions, but they have no suggestions.in about 3 weeks the odometer will be at the same mileage as between the previous two booms, would really like someone else to be with me if it happens again.
While driving, rear passenger bridgestone turanza tire went flat, consumer feels this occurred due to a tire defect, dealer disagreed and stated that the consumer had ridden on the flat tire and ruined the structural integrity of the tire, consumer is requesting reimbursement, tire size is p195/65r15.
Tire blew out andi pulled over right away to change flat. Dealer refused to contact manufacturer to inspect tire for defects. Car was literally 4 days old. (tiresize: 195/65r15)
Car (2002 honda 2 door coupe) is less than 1 year, 10 months to be exact.while driving less than 30 mph, experienced a bubble.dealer said to call michelin, which was done.tires are less than a year old yet even with a "warranty" are not covered.i question what exactly is a warranty, if tires less than a year old bubbleand are not covered?i was also informed that i caused the bubble by driving too fast or hitting a pot hole or rock.i have a clear license, never been pulled over for speeding, and never have had an accident.i feel this should not have happened now or even 2 years from now. These tires only have 16,500 miles.michelin refuses to cover costs of replacement, which is not the real issue.god forbid i was in an accident due to the tire failure, who would be responsible? it's a question of credibility which apparently michelin tires is not willing to accept that they are in fact responsible for the defects in their tires.dt

On friday 9/05/08 i got a flat tire while driving on the freeway.i had the tire fixed and two days later the same tire went flat on the freeway.i had to purchase a new tire.then the very next day while driving to work another tire on my vehicle went flat while on the freeway causing me to swerve into the other lane and almost lose complete control.i returned to the tire repair shop where they inspected my tire valves and explained that they were leaking and replaced all 4 of them.i did not hear of the recall until after i got 3 flat tires in 4 days.i was not harmed just inconvenienced.

The trunk lid is not stable when lifted up and will fall down easily. For many times, when we are loading stuff into the trunk, the trunk lid will fall down unexpected. The action of puting a luggage or grocery bag into the trunk will shake the car a little bit, which is normal for most cars, but the unusual thing for this honda accord is that the trunk lid will fall down by this shaking. I was hit by the trunk lid several times and i would expect some serious injury could happen to someone.another complaint about the trunk lid is the sealing. I live in southen california so rain is rare. But a heavy rain caused the trunk became a pool and the trunk mat is fully soaked. Although at that time, the car was still under the honda certified warranty, honda told me the trunk sealing is not covered.what even angered me about honda's service is they put an unmatched spare tire into my trunk. I found that out after having this car for more than 2 years and had a flat tire.

I have an 2002 honda accord ex v6.we purchased with 50 miles on it.around 58k seemed to be shifting harder (automatic transmission) but not hard enough to kick any trouble codes.i found this out after taking it to an certified tech who put it on a scanner.about 1 month ago the traction control light came on while my husband and i where driving the car suddenly the traction control light came on the car seemed to bog down , the motor revving up and down.we where on interstate 81 when this happened with a 18 wheeler behind us.thank goodness we where in the car and not my 18 year old daughter. This was the car we purchased for her and at this point both my husband and will not let her drive.my husband called a honda dealership they said they had trouble with older honda accords withcylinder motors up to 2001.where the transmissions would do the same things.

2015 scrapped car. Have returned 4 cards advising as such. This past summer/spring someone come to my home about the car and the recall. Assured me records would be updated to reflect car destroyed. Have received another card in the fall and 2 days ago received another phone call about getting the air bag taken care of. Since it's a recording i can't have anyone remove us from the list.

The car was destroyed/scrapped!!!!! honda can't seem to get their records straight. I even called them 2 years ago advising no longer owning the car. I will no longer send the cards in. However, just received another card advising the car hasn't had the airbag recall taken care of. Please stop this . If i receive any further correspondence i will be speaking with my lawyer and looking to be compensated do to this harassment.
Takata recall
It was in for an oil change and the front sub frame on the passenger side is rusted to the point it will not pass a pennsylvania state inspection i call honda but they will not help me this is a problem with the 1999 to 2002 honda accords and a safety problem i can't drive the car and the cost to fix it os over $2000.00( only 99531 miles on it ).
Takata recall
While driving up a hill, the car jerked a few times, then gave a hard knock or two.i stopped the car for about two minutes.when i tried to accelerate, the car dragged and could only move very slowly.i pulled into a nearby driveway and awaited the tow. My mechanic was able to back it into a parking spot, but that was the last movement the car made on its own.the car was then towed to the honda dealer who said that the transmission needed to be replaced.
Both back seat passenger door cannot be opened one stopped opening about a month before the other it's as though the child safety lock is on but isn't. They can't be opened from inside or outside. This is a safety matter of great importance in the event of a crash my passengers won't be able to exit the vehicle.
At first instance, the car began to show sluggish conditions when shifting gears.as time went on, the 'slips' began to grow more and more dangerous to the point that the car could barely shift between gears at all and was a safety hazard for both driver and to anyone around me as i was vulnerable to be rear-ended by anyone too close behind (because the car could not accelerate) and to those ahead of me as the car tended to jerk forward.after a repair to the solenoid once before, the car's performance improved, however some sluggish conditions remain and the conditions only worsen as time goes on.at 102,000 miles, the car's 2nd' transmission appears to need to be replaced to function properly.this is a known issue for honda accords as reported on several websites and known and acknowledged by independent mechanics across the country.it is irresponsible and reprehensible for honda to not take responsibility for this and be held accountable.at this current time honda refuses to take such action and will only offer minor reduction in repair costs that hardly seems fair to the thousand's of owners affected by this.please keep record of this and offer whatever assistance you can provide.source:http://www.carcomplaints.com/honda/accord/2002/transmission/hesitates_and_shifts_very_hard.shtmlothers maybe provided upon request.
Upon inspection of this vehicle, part of the front subframe had rusted through, from the air conditioner condenser hose emptying on top of it.attached photos show the extent of visible damage; other damage within this structure is not visible to the eye.honda refers to this part as the "rear beam," part number 50200-s87-a00. The steering rack and front suspension components attach to this part, along with the rear engine mount, and can cause loss of control of the vehicle, and serious personal injury.this is a very common and very dangerous flaw in this generation of accord.
Car paint started peeling years ago ... Peeling and flaking off. If started with a crackly white surface and just festered and grew to the disgusting embarrassing mess that it is today. The top of the car near the back window and the top of the back trunk are the worst spots. I ignored the problem for many years (call me naive, but i've never experienced anything like it). There is obviously a defect and honda needs to remedy the problem.
When i purchased my 2002 ex honda accord in 2015; i thought i was getting a reliable dependable car.honda is know for its reliability but little did i know that the whole sub-frame (front & back was fully rusted). My srs warning light comes on quite often.the a/c drain i strongly believe was installed improperly which causes the sub-frame to rust and crack. I bought the car with only 82,358 miles and purchased a extended warranty through honda dealership which my powertrain only covered up to 90,000 miles.i had taken the car for its first oil change which was at 91,000 miles and all of a sudden i started to have powertrainproblems.even though on my bill of sale it stated as is honda dealership knew that a customers such as myself would look under the body of the car.i went online and have read numerous complaints about the same problem i was having with this model & year.also theirextended warranty problem was an issue.why is the federal government & states allowing honda to sell a car with improperly installed a/c drain,sub-frame rotting & crack issues, transmission failure, defective seat belt sensor. I pray that no one dies from this vehicle.1999-2002 models. I'm a mother of four with a non-curable disease and i just want my car to be fully repaired at the expense of honda. Driving on the highway and turning is dangerous for me to be operating but this is my only means of transportation.my mechanic has to me i shouldn't have purchase this vehicle but i didn't realize that honda would do there customers wrong like this just for a profit!!!!
I was able to remove my keys from the vehicle while the vehicle was not in park. Other honda accords are of the same year have been recalled, except for mine. Nhtsa campaign #05v025000for the other accords that have been recalled.
I am very disappointed with my very first new car purchase.i thought honda was supposed to be a number one car for safety and was supposed to be long lasting.i have had mine in the shop 6-7 times in the last 6 -7 months and it is due to go into the shop again because they still have not fixed the window buttons correctly.i have had the car not start 3 times and have brought it into the dealer to have them tell me that nothing is wrong.i have been without a car for several days while they have it hooked up to some computer and have had no rental cars available to me.i am very frustrated and very affraid to go out to my car and have it not start on a day that i really need it.i want these pronblems fixed and am bringing it to another dealer to see if they can help me with it.dt
Car delayed gear when other car was behind me almost caused a small reck in highway
Because the vehicle is a 2002 the records do not show past 15 years.i am unable to get an answer as to whether recall #02v-226 in 2002 was ever done on the car.i purchased in 2004.any info for this vehicle recall would be greatly appreciated
All of my exterior doorhandles no longer work. I can't secure my vehicle without locking myself out as well.the rear passenger interior doorlatch no longer works either so that door can't be opened at all now.i'm paranoid that the rest of my interior latches are going to stop working too & i may be trapped inside because my electric windows have started having issues as well.
Ever since i got my car the transmission has skipped once i started to accelerate. It picks up speed very slowly and once i get to about 20 mph it starts skipping really bad and i have to release the gas. This is extremely dangerous because it skips in the middle of traffic and once i was on the highway and it skipped four times in a row. I was so scared i had to get off and take the streets. I went to see if my transmission for my model was recalled (honda accord 2002) and i only seen the 2003 model recalled but many 2002 owners have reported this incident occurring online as well. I feel that honda owes it to their customers to test this out and conduct a recall.

I reported a complaint and i haven't heard from them. I took my car and spent more than two hours waiting and no one helped me out. I'm still waiting for someone. I had to leave the dealer because i would ask for assistance and they would tell me i'll be there with you have a seat. I called twice they did say my complaint was their that someone will be in touch with me. I still haven't been able to take in my car for the recall. Please help. Thanks. Bh

Car was headed west in the left lane of a four lane highway. A big suv headed in the opposite direction was turning to the left. He didn't have time to go and stopped right in my lane. My car hit hers on the passenger side. When we crashed, both of my air bags exploded. I thought my car was on fire because smoke was coming from the bags. My right arm and hand swelled up so big and is still painful. I think there must be medal embedded in my arm. Blood was gushing from my arm and right knee. The inch gash in my right knee was on top of my total knee replacement. This had to be stitched up. I had contusions on my chest, arm and left knee. My ribs and sternum were bruised badly. My right ankle was fractured. My car was totaled. I was taken by ambulance to emergency and stayed until june 26, 2014. I was ordered to put no weight on my right leg and was transported by ambulance to a medical rehabilitation center. Before my release from there, i developed pneumonia and could not leave until july 14, 2014. I still have to have surgery on my left knee for torn meniscus. That surgery is scheduled for september 9, 2014. My back was fractured also; however, i have not scheduled that surgery as of yet.......updated 09-03-14updated 11/26/2014
The back door handles has malfunction. They or unable to open from inside or out. This causes a health hazard to the passengers in the backseat if there was an emergency to get out the back doors because of an accident.
My family was asleep and my car horn was going off (i don't have a security alarm) ran outside and my car was completely on fire at 3:30am.we are not sure what happened and the fire marshal couldn't tell exactly either other than his opinion of maybe an idea of the location it started.i'm not sure if this could be the issue or just a coincidence, but... My power steering sucked and i took it to a mechanic because i was about to go on a 10hr trip.i asked for him to fill the power steering and do all other necessary routine maintenance before a long trip (rotate tires, oil change, add freon, etc)i was on vacation for about 4 days and then it caught fire in the middle of the night.car ran fine before that.anyways friends did some research and told me there was a recall on honda accords 2003-2007 that the steering fluid can deplete and cause fires.my car is a 2002, the car is old with many miles however, ran great.so not sure what it could be but that's pretty coincidental!
I have been the sole owner of this vehicle. The trunk of the vehicle will fall down and hit your head causing a head injury. This happens as you are leaning into the trunk to insert/remove items. There is no latch to keep the trunk more secured. The trunk will fall from the wind blowing or for no reason. I informed a honda dealership about this issue when i had owned the vehicle during the first year, but they dismissed my concerns. Over the course of the 14 years i have owned this vehicle, despite being careful, i have had several injuries from this issue, especially when i need to use both hands to insert/remove items from the trunk. My husband and mother have also had injuries. This is a vp (value package) model of the 2002 honda accord. This is an ongoing issue so i am going to insert today's date even though this has been going on since i purchased the vehicle in 2002.
Transmission had to be replaced due to engine light continuously coming on, and staying on. Contacted dealer ,and the dealer replaced transmission, but problem still occurs.
This complaint is not in regards to something that came with the car but an aftermarket product. So it applies to all cars. If this department only deals with oem material then please forward to the correct department. The product is an automatic transmission additive. Once applied it has the ability at least in my case to stop a car from moving forward on a freeway. The product is made by a company called xado usa 1207 remington rd, schaumburg, il 60173 -- 888-787-9236.the specific product is xado revitalizant ex120 conditioner for automatic transmissions and cvt.supposedly the active ingredient in this product is revitalizant . This product was originally made for their engine oil additive. The revitalizant is suppose to fill worn metal parts in a internal combustion engine with a ceramic metal coating. If wouldn't take a chemical engineering knowledge that this product in transmission oil would be counter productive. A automatic transmission or manual transmission has clutchs which requires a rough surface to grab and transmit power to the wheels. If there is slippage, friction would be produced and heat generated instead. In my specific instance the transmission shop list the damage as ""torque converter clutch lining peeled causing filter to plug restricting flow of transmission fluid"".as stated this is not an oem product. It's an after market products like child safety seats. Truck rack add on etc.i believe it is a dangerous product because it can cause the sudden lost of power for a car to complete an intersection turn etc.
Well it started with my automatic transmission wouldn't shift i had to do it manually then i go to get in it one morning and it wouldnt actually move in drive but would fine in reverse when i did get it to move it said it was in neutral well now it will not move in any drive 1-4 but does in the neutral position and if u pubit in reverse and shift to drive at first it still is in reverse then it like jumps and goes into supposed drive but won't move till i shift to neutral again
I tried contacting honda to see whether it is normal to get electric shocks from the car. Every time i close my door to my car i get shock. I even seen electric wave. However, honda indicated that it must be the way i am walking, but everyone who comes in and out of my car gets shock and its only happens in the dry winter time. When i step on my pedal the car stalls which causes me to step on the pedal harder. My engine just turns off while i step on the brakes. I have spoken to a mechanic who indicates that is normal for honda accord 2002. I contacted service, but they indicated that it is my responsibility and it is not the manufactures problem. I just wantedto report this information.
I was told there was a recall a couple yrs back on the airbags and although the recall was a few yrs ago i am a new owner to this vehicle and want to be sure i am safe
The contact owns a 2002 honda accord. While driving 30 mph, the gauge and rpm unit on the instrument panel became inoperable without warning. The contact stated that the vehicle began to accelerate while attempting to come to a complete stop. The contact also stated that it was extremely hard to slow the vehicle down. The failure occured once. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.
Dt:the contact states while stopping the vehicle surged forward.the contactwas unable to steer or stop the vehicle at that time.the vehicle became wedged between a small tree and a fire hydrant.the dealership was unable to diagnose theproblem.the vehicle surged forward again onway home from the dealership.updated 12/27/2005 -
While attempting to back out of a parking spot, the car suddenly accelerated and slammed into the vehicle waiting for the space. I put the car in drive to get off his bumper, the car shot forward while standing on the brake. The car would not stop.finally jumped a curb and ran into parking meter to stop car. Dealer said nothing is wrong with the car.
Last may, my 71 year-old mother in law lost control of her car shortly after starting it and crashed into our house. She stated that the car "took off" on her despite her stepping on the brake. Post-accident investigation did not reveal any defects and the car was repaired. I concluded that she had mistakenly stepped on the gas instead of the brake despite her claims to the contrary and considered the issue closed. There have been no subsequent incidents until last week, i went out to move her car (2002 honda accord). When i put the car in drive the engine raced. I was able to prevent acceleration because my foot was on the brake (important point) and i quickly shifted into neutral. The engine raced for several seconds and then returned to regular idling speed. I then drove the car briefly without further incident, however i made an appointment with honda to have it checked out. The mechanics tested the car and found no clear cause of the racing engine although they did find cracked engine brackets and replaced them. While driving back from the dealer i parked the car for a brief stop. When i started it again i had the same event occur that i experienced last week. I drove home, called the dealer and they suggested that i bring it back. While driving back to the dealer i had two more incidents (once at a red light and once while pulling into the dealer parking lot). Each time i was able to prevent acceleration because my foot was on the brake and i shifted into neutral. I noticed that tach went up to 4500 rpm for several seconds before returning to normal. The dealer is now looking at the car again. Several points: i'm 54 and have been driving for 37 years without ever having caused a traffic accident or had a moving violation;my foot was on the brake (not the accelerator, as is often surmised in cases of sudden unintended acceleration). If it hadn't been, the car would have taken off. I cannot include vin at present because car is at the dealer.
Coming to a yield, was clear, accelerated vehicle in d4, vehicle did not move, rpms 2000, 30 sec later gear engage, spinning front tires, road was not clear at this time, had to apply emergency brake along with pedal brake to keep from hitting another vehicle. This was not a safe situation. This vehiclelurches forward when stopping, shifting hard.not safe to drive.
My 2002 honda accord v6 coupe experienced a stuck throttle and runaway acceleration. I slowed the car with the brakes, shifted into neutral, turned off the engine, then re-started it. It went back to redline. Finally, kicking the gas pedal caused the acceleration to stop. I noticed subsequently, that the cruise control had also failed. The dealership (darlings honda, in bangor, me), told me that the throttle body had broken, near the attachment point of the cruise actuator cable. They recommended that i replace the throttle body. It appears to me, that there is a flaw in the vehicle, that allows runaway acceleration when a mechanical failure of this kind occurs. I contacted american honda ("brian" at 800-999-1009 x 117738), and explained the problem to him. He got back to me two days later, and told me that honda was unwilling to fix the problem. I believe that this issue warrants an investigation, as it could have resulted in death or severe injury.the same vehicle also has developed a transmission problem, over the last year or so. It feels like the transmission is beginning to fail. There is a delay between gears, that feels like the torque converter isn't locking up as fast as it used to. It makes pulling out into traffic more difficult. Despite there having been an admitted transmission problem, with 2002 v6 accords, the dealer suggests that i try another transmission fluid change, instead of replacing the transmission. They cite the car's high mileage, 142,000 miles, as the reason that honda will not pay for any safety or warranty related issues. Please advise.
Vehicle lurked into on coming traffic causing vehicles to slam on brakes and a near miss on interstate 10. 3 or four vehicles had to go to the median,entering on-ramp headed west on i10. Not the first occasion this situation has happened.
Accelerator pedal sticks every morning. You need to strongly depress pedal and the car lurches forward and then it is ok. I presently have it in a shop for repair. Repairman said it looked like honda tried to fix this as there was yellow paint on throttle hood and a gasket had been replaced? i never took it to honda for prior service on the throttle. I can have the repairman save the old parts. My son also had this problem with his honda accord 2001 and took it back to honda and they repaired it as it was still under extended warranty. Neither of us had an accident because of this.
2002 honda accord accident caused by car prematurely and uncontrollably lunging forward**ccthe dealer was unable to duplicate the problem.
The contact owns a 2002 honda accord. While driving various speeds, the contact observed a loud abnormal sound from the vehicle and the check engine warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. In addition, the contact mentioned that she had the codes printed that showed that the torque converter and cylinder failed. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 279,000.
Ltr fm (md) experienced sudden acceleration in her 2002 honda accord causing front and rear damage to the vehicle, honda will not look into problem unless insurance company file a claim.
I was driving in traffic and my car's d4 light began blinking and when i would slow down to a complete stop the car would jerk before coming to a stop. I had to restart the car to get it to stop jerking. This has happened maybe 4 times before and i took it to someone and they said that the transmission could be going and i would need a new one. There are thousands of complaints about the transmissions on these older honda accords, and i think it is about time they do something to fix this issue.
I have a 2002 honda accord ex and the car jerks into gear, even going from 1st to 2nd gear.i am always worried taking off from a stop light because the car doesn't get into gear right away or take off smoothly.
Dt:the contact stated while trying to pull out of a parking lot the vehicle suddenly accelerated.the contact'sfoot was on the brake pedal at the time of acceleration.there was a loud noise during the acceleration.the vehicle hit a fence after going up an incline. After the impact, the gear shift was placed into reverse and the vehicle began to accelerate uncontrollably again.this time it stopped after crashing into a tree.the vehicle was towed to an independent auto inspection station, andthey were unable to determine the cause of the acceleration.they discovered the cruise control was turned on, even though the contact stated she never used the cruise control.there was frame damage and exterior lighting repairs made to the vehicle.
As the vehicle was slowing to a stop at a red light, the rpms suddenly rose to 5-7k ! the driver could not control or stop it from lurching forward into traffic, so she cut off the engine.upon trying to restart, the engine would not start at normal rpm.a bystander came over and adjusted something in the engine and it worked again.this has happened 2 times since then.no one can figure out the problem, but after a web search, this is not rare for 2002 model.unacceptable!this has also happened as it the car is put into park, and the rpms rise quickly to high levels.it stops when the car is off, obviously, and usually does not recur on the same day.it's been happening about 1 time per month since we bought it used for our teenager to use.i'm now afraid to let her drive it. Please investigate!this could have killed the driver, my daughter, as well as others in her path.
The contact owns a 2002 honda accord. The contact stated that the vehicle surged forward while attempting to stop. The failure occurred intermittently. The vehicle was taken to an independent repair shop on numerous occasions and the throttle plate was cleaned. The failure continued. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 70,000.
The contact owns a 2002 honda accord.while driving in reverse at 3 mph, the vehicle suddenly surged forward and crashed into two vehicles.a police report was filed.the mechanic stated that the failure was unrecognizable and he repaired the exterior of the vehicle.however, the failure recurred.no repairs were made.the powertrain was unknown.the current mileage was 55,300 and failure mileage was 39,683.
I was making a right turn to merge into the middle lane on a highway service road where every car was waiting for the green light.i turned very slowly at low speed after stopping at the stop sign, and all of a sudden the steering wheel started to turn by itself, then my car turned 180 degrees, while the accelerator speeded up at a rapid pace, seeming to be stuck. My car jumped the curb, hit a sign, and finally stopped.the bumper cover came down, and i can see the bumper was damaged (pushed back in the middle about 2 inches), but both of my 2002 honda accord's air bags did not deploy at all.
On saturday july 3, 5004 vehicle lunged or accelerated into a concrete parking barrier.the consumer's foot was pressed light on the accelerator pedal when her felt the pedal go down on it's own.the cruise control was not on.

Aug 2004 (32,733 miles) i pulled out of the driveway and went about 60 feet to the corner.then i pulled outonto a 5 lane road, accelerating to 40 mph.the light at the next corner was red and i began applying the brake.the rpm's rose to about 5,000 rpm's, as though the throttle cable was stuck.i tapped on the throttle pedal and the rpm's went back down.i had the vehicletowed to the honda dealer, they found nothing wrong.on 1/6/06 (58k miles) we had dinner at a restaurant.i pulled out the restaurant's parking lot, made a right turn and stopped at the red light ( approximately 100 feet).all of a sudden the rpm's went up to 4-5,000 rpms and the car wanted to lurch forward.i pressed the brake pedal as hard as i could and it felt like a big truck was trying to push our car out into the intersection. I had no choice but to try to go through the red light as i couldn't keep it from going forward despite my full pressure on the brake.i took my foot off the brake and the car shot through the intersection and i drove home without any recurrence.i took it to the honda dealer again.their inspection was to the throttle cable, throttle blade, rev limiter, throttle body and air filter.they could not find anything wrong.i called hond.they initiated a case and at my insistence scheduled an appointment with their district service manager.i met with him on 1/31/06.he spent about 45 minutes with me, discussing the problem and test driving the car.he could not find anything out of the ordinary with the vehicle and said the car "operated as designed." i received a copy of his report.honda customer service contacted me by phone and reiterated almost verbatim what the dsm had told me and said in his report.both occurrences were with me driving, the car sitting for at least 1.5 hours, and bothhappened upon braking.i am still concerned about the safety of this car, as obviously it is an intermittent condition.

2002 honda accord ex v6. The transmission was determined by holler honda to be terminal, meaning no good needing to be replaced. The danger occurs when you have to accelerate with the normal traffic flow and are unable to because of slipping and improper shifting. A accident waiting to happen. I'm sure there have already been accidents due to this by people who unaware of the severity of the problem. From what i've read this is a very common problem, honda has agreed to split the cost of the repair of $4,600, with my mom having alzheimer's and me no job that figure might as well be 4 million dollars. Please somebody help us with this problem.

Re. Three major factory defects of 2002 honda accord v6 exi currently own four honda vehicles. Two of them are 2002 honda accord v6 ex models. Honda released 2002 honda accord ex without any thorough final inspections. The malfunctioning on my two hondas was all factory defects deeply related to passenger safety. Honda does not care for human life sincerely as advertised. Honda does not deserve to be one of the best vehicles in the states.since i purchased brand new 2002 hondas, three serious mechanical and electrical defects have been found: seat belt sensor malfunctioning, timing related engine rpm surge, and powertrain breakdown. All three happened within 36,000 miles. First problem was a seat belt sensor problem. It was detected several months on both vehicles. And i asked a honda mechanic to fix it. He told me that it would go away if you drove more. However, this problem was not gone. And couple of years later, i strongly ask honda dealer to check and fix it. One was seat belt sensor problem and the other was the main seat belt controller. Second problem was a timing related engine surge. It happened on both hondas within 30,000 miles on the same day. Rpm of both honda went up and engine light was on. Even in braking, i could feel very strong force, which might break something. It was a sudden surge enough to cause a big accident. I want you to inspect this factory defect of all 2002 honda accord ex.third problem happened in the first 2002 honda. It was a powertrain problem. This brand new vehicle has surged several months after delivered to us. The mechanics in honda dealerships said that it would go away if we drove more. The surge in first three years seemed moderate jolting when the second gear shifted to the first gear. But it got worse and worse. Finally, oil leaked. After fixing it, there are no more jolting or surging in gear transitions. This incident took place due to honda's negligence and irresponsibility.
Sudden unintended acceleration happens again less than a thousand miles later.again put car in reverse, engine surged and shot backwards into traffic on a busy street. Car was inspected by another dealership and they also found nothing wrong.car is currently at body shop being repaired. Honda of america has been notified again, and we are waiting to hear from legal department. Same car-same problem-no help from honda. Can nhtsa help?

Purchased the 2002honda accord se coupe in march 2008 with 64k miles. After a few months of driving i began to feel a slight jerk when i placed my feet on the accelerator. Took my car to a local honda dealership only to be told that i needed a transmission flush. After driving car i began to feel the slight jerk and over a year i recieved 2 transmission flushes. Jerking has gotten so bad that i am not able to trade because it is basically a lemon. Honda dealership has told me now that i need a new transmission. Over 3k to replace and after calling american honda they refused to help with the cost. This is a known problem with the 2002 accords but yet they wont own up to it. I will never purchase a honda ever again.

The cruise control system, when activated does not smoothly regulate speed.instead it sets at the desired speed and then proceeds to speed up about 5 miles per hour beyond the set speed point and then decelerate back to the set speed point in a recurring continous fashion until deactivated.on at least two occasions the cruise control was activated by simply pushing on the gas peddle.in both instances this occurred when pushing on the gas peddle near the 25 miles per hour activation speed of the cruise control system.it deactivated immediately by stepping on the brake peddle.if a driver does not realize what is happening, they may find their car accelerating and not realize that they must deactivate the cruise control by stepping on the brake or turning off the cruise control by pressing the cancel button on the steering wheel.
Vehicle experienced cruise control cable failure. This resulted in vehicle accelerating in full throttle.
Dt*:the contact stated while going 50 mph the cruise control activated causing the vehicle to accelerate to 80 mph.

I was driving at approximately 75 mph on the interstate with cruise control engaged. Upon coming towards heavier traffic i tapped the brake pedal to disengage cruise control. The cruise control did not disengage. I pressed the brake more strongly and the car reacted by accelerating strongly. It was a similar feeling to when cruise control is engaging and the car reacts to a hill climb by revving higher except that this was much stronger and in direct proportion to my pressure on the brake. The more i pressed the brake the more the car seemed to react to the drag by accelerating. I manually disengaged cruise control by pressing the cancel button.
While driving on the highway with the cruise control at 60 mph, the vehicle accelerated at a high speed without the consumer disengaging the cruise control mode.when this occurred, the vehicle impacted a ditch and went up a hill. The emergency brake had to be engaged to stop the vehicle.
On sunday the 19th, my wife had an accident in our vehicle involving a deer.the location was in our area, on a semi-rural 2-lane road.weather was not a factor, and occurred at approx 11:30am.the deer was average in weight, 70-90 lbs, vehicle speed was 45mph at the time of impact.the point of impact appeared to be on the driver's side of the windshield, eye height of the driver, and was severe enough to shatter approx 90% of the windshield.integrity of the windshield remained, and was not expelled from the vehicle, nor was it perforated, it was just almost completely shattered.upon inspection of the vehicle on monday at the towing yard, i discovered that the interior of the vehicle, front and back, had manyparticles of sharp glass shards, and almost a complete covering of what i would call "glass dust", which i did not expect.my understanding of safety glass, when shattered, the result is small particles of glass about the size of a pencil eraser, without the sharp shards and dust.my description of this "dust" is just that - like the dust on furniture if left undusted for a while.had my wife not been wearing sunglasses, she would have had serious injury to her eyes.my question (or food for thought) is this.is there a difference in the safety standards for u.s. Manufactured vehicle safety glass, and that which is imported?my understanding is that this vehicle was assembled in the u.s., but the components were imported.please feel free to contact me if you would like more information.sincerely,gary s.

My uncle was traveling on a state highway when his 02 honda hydroplaned on a rainy afternoon and hit head on with another vehicle. My three month old daughter sustained severe head trauma and died at the hospital a little later. Eleven days later my uncle died from severe bleeding and brain damage. Honda said nothing was wrong with this car. My daughter who was 2 at the time was a passenger along with two other cousins, they all came out fine. Now 6 years later we received a recall notice about the airbags and i'm concerned that this vehicle was not safe enough and could have been the main result in my daughters death.

I was traveling home in the far north bound lane going 40 mph and was hit head on by a dodge durangotraveling south bound in the far right lane. (2 lanes each way with a center.) i was driving and the airbag exploded as the durango cut off another car and hit head onto me. The airbag explosion produced a burning smell which i thought the car was on fire but it was the airbag explosion. My face was very red and swollen and just felt on fire from the explosion which covered my face. I had a scratch in my left eye and needed a rinse and a small laceration above my eye. My right hand was swollen immediately and was throbbing from the grip of the wheel and the airbag explosion. My right pinky was totally numb for quite a while with radiating pain up the right arm. The right had still has issues with grasping things and dropping them. I had and still have headaches from the jolt and neck injury especially in the frontal area. I noticed my speech became slurred and thoughts took longer to process when speaking to people. On the job this created difficulty.
The sub frame is rusted away on the passenger side.i noticed it while i was driving.if i would've kept driving the vehicle and the rusted frame gave way, me and my kids or other passengers in vehicles on the road could have been injured or even killed
I drove my vehicle on a highway in the rain over one month ago.when the vehicle went with speed of about 50 miles/hour, the wheel cover (trim) of right front tire (passenger side) broke all the sudden, and a significant part of the wheel cover flew out after rounds of rotation with high speed very nearly hitting other moving vehicles.as a result, the wheel cover itself is completely damaged, the pint of the body around the right front tire is seriously scratched, and some minor damages around.this is a serious vehicle safety issue caused by defective part.as a result, i have to replace the defective wheel cover with a new one.also, i need to get body repainted at the right front side with other repairs.the old broke part is available now.
