We (wife & myself) were given this car by my wife's mother and even though we are forever grateful I would not wish this transmission on anyone else. The car's transmission was faulty before we received the vehicle but nothing was ever done to repair it. My MIL owned the car since it was new and was the original owner. She had all of the regular maintenance done on the vehicle down to replacing the airbags for the recall but never could admit to the car having transmission problems due to her having denial issues. Since the car was given to us (MIL does not drive anymore) we have put up with the faulty transmission because we can't see putting $1750-$2500 into a vehicle that is only worth $2000. So we just wanted others to know if you are contemplating buying a used 2002 Honda Accord make sure you have a mechanic check the transmission for problems.

Update from Dec 5, 2017: I called the Honda 'Hotline' to ask them for a 'Goodwill compensation' but they told me since my car was 15 years old that they can not help me. End of story. I told them that the car had less than 45,000 original miles on it and that there are thousands of Hondas with similar or the exact problems and they didn't even blink. I said not even in the Season of giving? It's Christmas time I said. Sorry they said. Honda corporation won't help. To me they are one of the 'Grinches' that steal Christmas. Personally, I will never purchase a Honda or Acura product from this time forth!

Honda Accord with ~97000 on it. Automatic transmission, slipping, jerking, and lurking while decelerating. Almost got me killed exiting the freeway!

I have been dissatisfied with this car for quite some time due to a large number of nickel and dime issues.... This has totally put me over the edge. Honda once made some of the worlds most reliable cars in my opinion, so this is just pathetic that there is this many failures listed under 100k miles. Some other "up and coming" companies offer a standard warranty that would cover all these.

Going to have to limp this hunk of junk down to the repair shop, bend over and grab my ankles and brace for the right that Honda has strapped me in for.
