I own a 2003 Honda Accord that is having constant problems shifting from 2nd to 3rd gear (automatic transmission). This has caused me numerous issues merging onto the highway because the vehicle fails to accelerate. I have nearly caused accidents and have had to make emergency stops on the side to try to work through this issue and get the vehicle to shift and accelerate. The shift from 2nd to 3rd fails almost every time.

Complete transmission failure. Our daughter was lucky not to have been killed driving on a crowded outerbelt when the Honda Accord just quit. Local dealership recognizes a huge problem with this model, but corporate Honda is just waiting for a tragedy to occur. Just spent $1100 on new brakes, and now they want $4000 for new transmission. We are going to fight this. Honda is pathetic.
