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?

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.

I purchased a Honda Accord 2002 in April 2003 the transmission was replaced by dealership in November 2003 when I took in for maintenance due to a noise the dealer reported to me...now the reverse gears are slipping and I think this is rather odd...to have two transmission failures in one vehicle are there recalls on this model or reports of such problems noted anywhere?

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.

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 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.

2002 Honda Accord developed problems with the transmission, and dashboard light sensors. The 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.
