I cannot make it across busy streets safely due to my vehicles transmission torque converter. It takes too long to engage from first to second gear. There was a recall on this issue back in 2004. I bought this car from someone in 2014 not knowing about it. Issues include: transmission slips or won't engage. Car stutters or jerks while accelerating. Check engine light on.

I bought this car brand new in 2001 from a honda dealership. A couple of years later, the transmission had failed. I called the honda dealership where I had bought the car and they acknowledged that this generation had a known transmission defect. They repaired my car for free because it was still under warranty at the time and I was told that the transmission now had an extended 7year/109,000mile warranty. On july 15th, 2012, I was driving on highway 101s at 65mph when the check engine light suddenly came on. I noticed a slight loss in power, but my car did not die out. The check engine light stayed on. The next day, I decided to test drive the car again to see if the check engine light was a one time occurrence. I started up the car, put it in reverse, and then to drive. There was a sudden delayed jerk from reverse to drive. I managed to plug in a code reader into the car's computer port and pulled up two codes: p0700 and p0740. Both of these codes are associated with the transmission. Not again?!?! My car has now exceeded the extended warranty and I am afraid that honda will not cover the repairs. I read on several forums that this has also occurred to honda owners where the dealership has refused to repair the vehicle due to the expired extended warranty coverage.

When car turned on, RPM needle zoomed up to 4 and would not go down. Towed car and fixed transmission for $2000. Just a little over a year later, delay in shifting. Electronics of transmission were fixed. One month later, RPM needle jerking and hopping, car not responding well to gas input. Thank goodness all these incidents were on local roads and lots by my home. Imagine on the freeway or busy roads with my 6 year old in the back. Time for a recall!
