“Dashboard light go out without notice and they turn back on at times. Unable to see at night the speedometer. Gears in car jerk while driving at all times from gear to gear, signs of sand like metal residue in transmission fluid when changed. I purchased the vehicle a little over a year ago and did not think much of it until it became worse and I began to research the possible issues.”

NHTSA complaint #10913967, filed 2016-10, 133,000 miles“This is a manufacturer's fault as it is mentioned on the web as well as by auto shops about the transmission. The car can stop anytime! I have spent thousands of $$ already fixing other parts and cannot fix this problem as this is a known problem/default from the manufacturers. Please all raise your voice and have the company take care of this as they are not helping me in this matter!”

NHTSA complaint #11307625, filed 2020-02, 135,000 miles“2000 Honda Accord ex v6 has transmission problems... When car goes from 1st to 2nd it slips really bad. It is a safety hazard because when I'm behind someone and hit the gas it revs up and nothing happens and then it catches and the tires spin. I almost hit someone today with a child in the car. This needs to be fixed now!”
