Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)The contact owns a 2002 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while parking the vehicle, the vehicle independently accelerated without warning. The contact stated that the vehicle went over a concrete island with the engine revving and the vehicle accelerating. The contact turned the vehicle to the right and grazed a pole which stopped the vehicle. The contact sustained a knot under her right clavicle but did not seek medical attention. A Police report was filed. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 180,000.
The ignition system of the vehicle is faulty. The engine keeps stalling intermittently and the vehicle shuts down. The issue has been observed at both low and high speeds. The issue occurs on average once in two weeks. This issue has put our family's safety in jeopardy. We filed a complaint with Honda but they are not willing to help with addressing this issue. This issue has been a problem for several years with no restitution from Honda. We need to be compensated USD 2.5million for the stress and aggravation this issue has caused us and for putting our family's safety in jeopardy. Please help us by arranging for mediation services with Honda Motor Company of America. Thank you.
This morning, my neighbor came over to see if I heard my car alarm go off. I saw that part of the driver side where the door buttons are located were some what damaged. They must have been trying to open other doors, trunk or something else. I'm not sure how they were able to open the driver side door, maybe a crow bar what whatever else they use. I did not hear my car alarm go off. I checked my car for anything stolen, but didn't seem to find any thing missing. Will check it again. On another note, there was a night about a month ago where my neighbor heard gun shots outside my back door under the plum tree. Same side of location where my car is parked. Perhaps its the same people. This neighborhood is becoming dangerous. Thank YOU! [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
Transmission slipping gears. “D4” blinking on dash. Progressive issue that began irregularly and within a week or two made the vehicle unsafe to drive. This seems to be a known widespread issue for vehicle’s year and model with no recalls.

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.

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.
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.
