Electrical issues with lights, transmission has various issues after I've spent over $2,000 trying to get it fixed. The sensors go out or start acting up a short time after I've replaced them. The car will shut off and leave you to get hit because it takes seconds to minutes to get started again. Lights go on and off on their own.

I took my honda to honda of stevens creek and asked if they knew anything about my car not starting when is left on hot weather. They said they was a bulletin but no recall and therefore I was responsible for the fix. I looked online and it seems to be a very common problem with the fuel pressure regular or something to that effect. How does one get a common problem fix or start a recall process? It seems to me that having to use my vehicle in cold weather only is problematic. Thank you for your help.

I have honda accord 2002 which has been regularly serviced by honda dealers. I recently got my 120k service done and spend about $1000 on service and parts. At that time everything was diagnosed ok. After couple of months driving the engine light came on. I went to the dealer and was told that my car needs transmission replacement with a cost of $4000 upward. I researched on the web and came to know that the 2002 accord have transmission issues. A recall was done in 2004 for transmission. I didn't receive any recall notice from honda in 2004. Since honda knows about the issue I think honda should be liable to pay for the cost of fixing the transmission. Could anyone let me know what is my rights in this situation considering it is a known issue and honda did nothing about it. It is a potential safety hazard since faulty transmission can lock the engine resulting in crash. Please advise.

August 2013 - just stopped while driving; placed in park and started ok; december 2013 - stopped on highway while driving - 60 MPH in center lane - dangerous - placed in park and started again. Took to mechanic who replaced ignition switch as old hondas have been having this problem two days later, just stopped while driving on highway. Placed in park and tried to start; turned over, but didn't start - waited 1/2 hour - started again. Drove about 10 miles, then stopped again. Called tow truck. Now it starts, but I'm afraid to go anywhere note: feels like I ran out of gas when it stops.

Purchased the 2002 honda accord se coupe in march 2008 with 64k miles. After a few months of driving I began to feel a slight jerk when I placed my feet on the accelerator. Took my car to a local honda dealership only to be told that I needed a transmission flush. After driving car I began to feel the slight jerk and over a year I recieved 2 transmission flushes. Jerking has gotten so bad that I am not able to trade because it is basically a lemon. Honda dealership has told me now that I need a new transmission. Over 3k to replace and after calling american honda they refused to help with the cost. This is a known problem with the 2002 accords but yet they wont own up to it. I will never purchase a honda ever again.
