Check engine light kept coming on and wouldn't go off. Car was struggling to automatically shift into gear. When it got really hot, car would not start up right away. Would take several times of having one foot on brake and one foot on gas to get it to start again.transmission is acting like it is slipping. Just bought this used car last year. Local Honda dealership, don wessel, of springfield, Missouri acted like everything was fine with the car when we bought it. Took it in there they got the check engine light to go off but then it came back on a few days later. Tried to get them to fix it but they wouldn't. took it to another place they, hooked it up to the computer and said that all cylinders were misfiring, and that there was a problem with transmission. Trying to find a place to fix the transmission. We think dealership should fix it since we bought it there and they did not think anything was wrong even after we brought it back and told them that check engine light was still on and car is still acting up.

On May 29, 2014 our daughter was driving our car and had just dropped a friend off at the bus station, after the friend got out of the car, she pulls off and goes around a corner and the car accelerates and jumps a curb, uproots a tree, hits a parked car, which crashes into another parked car. Our car was totaled. I think the other car was totaled and the other car had moderate damage. Our daughter had a gash in her arm and a lot of bumps and bruises. My daughter is scared to death to drive. I would like to see Honda fix this problem, this is not the first incident, nor will it be the last.

I was driving my Honda Accord on a residential street, when the transmission started to shift erratically. The D4 light started to flash and the 'check engine' light came on. The Honda dealership that serviced the vehicle told me that the transmission had failed. This from a car that I had purchased six weeks earlier. Luckily the incident happened on a vacant road and not a highway on-ramp where smooth shifting is a life or death scenario.

Experiencing transmission problem which Honda is refusing to repair/replace. Honda is aware of this problem and has extended the warranty to 7 year 7 months or 109K miles but my car happens to fail just outside of the warranty. The on time scheduled maintenance and proper treatment is probably to blame. Consider this as my formal complaint against Honda for not standing behind their product and inadequate customer service.

Transmission was starting to jerk forward and balking when starting from a start. Transmission started to over heat. My son said that the car seamed to just give out on highway and scared him as it caused a strange feeling of something terrible wrong. Now when transmission is put into reverse a very startling noise like a loud bang is happening. Now I am afraid to let my son because of safety reasons use it. I am on a fixed income and I always take care of this car, but this is just going to break me to try to get fixed. I have read so many complaints since I started to investigate this problem that I just can't believe that Honda and the NHTSA has not remedied this dangerous and expensive problem. I had the same problem with Toyota on rusting frame rails that almost killed me and my daughter. I had to try to sell my Tacoma truck at more than half its resale value, because Toyota just like Honda just wont admit or fix this serious problem. By the time the NHTSA did get Toyota to do something about the unsafe frame rust most of us owners had already had to try to get what ever money we could try to get. It was horrible to lose all that money and try to get another vehicle. Now Honda is playing with NHTSA and it is starting all over again for a lot of us Honda owners.what more can us owners do to get our fair share. I know I filed a complaint against Toyota and now Honda. I hope nhsta does something fast because as of now I have no car to use. Lets right this now. I know that a lot of hard working people deserve better than what Honda is even thinking of doing or not doing to right this problem.

Warning light and the vehicles can't drive more than 20 miles an hour. This happens a few times within the last 6 months. Park the car for a few days and the problem goes away for a few weeks. This has not happen on the freeway, if it has, we would have an accident for sure. It happens again 2 days ago while driving and D4 lights came on, the car can't go more than 20 miles/hr on residential street.
