I am a owner of 1998 honda accord and have just started having problems with my transmission knocking, clicking when I change gears, and it jumps out of gear as I am going down a hill. I did some research and found out that thousands of people are having the same issue. When I took it to the dealer they even was aware of the situation with the faulty transmission that they have been putting in people cars, but act like it is not a big deal. You think you are buying quality when you buy a honda, but that is not the case. I hope no one gets killed before they take action. If I have an accident while driving with my kids in the car and it locks up, I will be moving on up to the next step because I don't understand why they would not stand behind their faulty junk and not risk some being hurt or even killed.

I have a 98 honda accord and around 87,000 miles my transmission went out. I took it to aamco to have it diagnosed they said had to rebuild. $2900.00. Al month later I had to take it back for more transmission problems there was a loud knocking noise in the gear box and they fixed it. I took it back twice since having tranny rebuilt now its a year later and the car began to slip and jerk and now there is a metal scraping noise coming from the gear box when in gear. This is the 4th time I will have to take it in for transmission problems.

On jan 5, 2000, at approximately 10:30 am I backed my car out of the garage and applied the brakes before entering the street. Applying the brakes caused the uncontrollable acceleration of the car, causing it to cross the street/sideswipe a neighbor's house/ run over another neighbor's fence, and knock down a street sign. I do not know if the accelerator got stuck, but any amount of pressure on the breaks failed to slow the car. All of this occurred in a matter of seconds before finally coming to rest in the center of the street. Damage to the car and a neighbro's house was extensive.
