Transmission is chronically slow to downshift. Seems to hunt for gears and downshift indecisively. Can make vehicle run as if it surges. Once in a gear, especially 3rd or 4th, still seems to hunt about or surge within that gear. Dealer visit today (ralph schomp in littleton, co - no complaints there) indicates all is well, that's the way it runs. I think an updated computer chip could cure all this.

Transmission on leaking.

- San Diego, CA, USA

Engine wants to lurch forward while at stops--with brake depressed, then hesitates when attempting to accelearate. Have taken to dealership and discussed two times, each time dealership can't replicate problem. I am very concerned of the potential "accident" waiting to happen. After reading the consumer complaints, and noticing accidents with this issue causes me greater concern. What is the next step to getting this fixed?

Transmission failure.

- Redlands, CA, USA

Possible parking pawl failure, loud clanging noise in front engine compartment as if metal component broke. In moving shifter from drive to reverse loud transmission gear noise is evident. From reverse to drive noise is not as loud. When shifter is moved to park there seems to be more movement in vehicle as transmission gear locks into parking gear. This is not normal wear on transmission, as dealer states.

Automatic transmission slow to react to road conditions. Transmission reverts to low gear after braking on slippery roads causing several seconds of excessive engine braking making the car difficult to control until the transmission up shifts to the proper gear for road speed

This car is a lemon. I have had so many problems I can not believe it. The sunroof has been replace 3 times, the headliner 2 times. The fuel gauge sticks at times, even after filling the tank it only shows it's half full. The egr valve has been replaced once, and it now is bad again. I burn 93 octane gas, supposedly the cleanest, but my dealer tells me it's from dirty gas. The fan for the climate control chirps like a bird.

Automatic transmission lunges from gear to gear when slowing down and speeding up. It appears the computer controling the transmission is not sure what gear it should be in.

Vehicle recalled on automatic transmission parking mechanism, failed prior to recall notice.

- Rosedale, NY, USA

After approximately 2 weeks of owning my car I began to hear a whinning sound when I would take my foot of of the gas. This noise got progressively louder. I would like to know if other consumers have reported any problems with there new car and the tranmission and if so will there be a recall. Honda was very good about fixing my car and I have no problems with the service but I am concerned about just purchasing a car and having something major like this occur

At approx. 6000 miles the transmission began to hunt for the correct gear. At speeds above 45mph it feels like the engine has a bad miss. This has been reported to the dealer three times, on the last visit we were told that Honda factory techs are aware of the problem and have removed other transmissions and are working on it. American Honda motor co, Inc. And the Florida office of the attorney general have been notified.
