problem #2

Dec 212012

Accord EXL 2.8L V4

  • Automatic transmission
  • 48,000 miles

My car started making grinding sounds when it is started and accelerating. I guess this is a fairly common problem with this year of car. I hope it is not a major problem to get fixed.

problem #1

Feb 052011

Accord EX V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 63,000 miles

Have the same problem as everybody else, transmission shifts very sharp from 1 to 2 gear when cold. Then, when slowing down from high speed driving, about 38 mph I can feel weird downshift and the jerking when accelerating again . Probably the best way to describe it is that, imagine when you slow down and you are about 38 mph, something is grabbing your car by the bumper, holds it for second and then lets go, it's just weird. I had this issue since about 10.000 miles and now at 63k it seems worse. I mentioned the problem to the dealer but they told me they added a little bit of transmission fluid, they think that may be causing the problem because they cannot recreate the issue; I thought they were joking but that’s the only solution. Next I will call the dealer to make an appointment to check the transmission again, but I will leave the car overnight at the dealer, so the next day I will have them go with me for a test drive so they can experience the issue like I do every morning.

I will post the result after the test drive…
