What owners say
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 honda accord. The contact stated that while driving at 15 MPH, the vehicle started making an abnormal noise and jerked without warning. The failure recurred several times. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who stated that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 113,000.
I was driving down my road and notice my car keeps stalling between 3rd and 4th gear, if I hit the brake it stops and I can go on. I took it for recall last year and it started doing better but last month it is stalling and jerking at speeds between 30-45. It seems to be getting worse. Also my driver side window when I try to roll it up without holding the button it will go all the way up and then roll back down. I also have problems with the air conditioner blowing hot air on the drivers side if I turn it all the way down to where it says lo and a few minutes later turn it up to what it is set on then it will blow correctly for a day or two,sometimes a couple of weeks but having to keep doing this defeats having climate control option.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 honda accord. The contact stated that while driving 55 MPH and above, the vehicle would begin to jerk. The failure recurred on an intermittent basis. The vehicle was not taken to have the failure diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 56,000.
Upon having the secondary shaft bearing recall completed my car started to drive very sluggish. Upon acceleration the car is very slow to accelerate and feels like it's dragging and staying in one gear too long. When finally I get to desired speed the car will slightly jerk as if it is trying to switch gears and will sometimes decelerate in speed. I have to constantly accelerate to keep car going up to speed and sometimes have to press gas pedal to floor to get up to speed. Car makes a humming sound on and off when trying to get up to speed. Dealership ran all checks and could not find any failures. I hope honda investigates this issue. My car was running very smoothly before I took it in for recall and now it runs very rough. Very disappointing!!!
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 honda accord. The contact stated that when accelerating from a complete stop, the vehicle would exhibit a loud humming noise and would hesitate to accelerate. The vehicle would then jerk and begin to drive normally. The failure would recur every time the vehicle was brought to a stop. The engine warning light would illuminate on the instrument panel intermittently. The dealer diagnosed that the throttle pedal would need to be replaced. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure and the vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 109,000 and the current mileage was 114,000.
Brakes grab suddenly when applied, bringing car to an abrupt stop and jerking the occupants forward. Dealer has reviewed twice. Told within specifications. On dealers suggestion called honda america. Representative scott told me nothing could be done. Put him on notice of safety problem ,complaint #n012007-04-2401645.
Dt*: the contact stated while applying brake pressure at various speeds, the engine revved at an accelerated rate and lurched forward without warning. This problem was intermittent in nature. The vehicle was inspected by a dealer who performed a diagnostic test which produced no failure codes, although the problem persisted. The manufacturer was notified. Updated 11/9/2006 - it was later determined that the problem was user related. Whent he brake pedal decended below the level of the accelerator pedal the consumer's foot contacted the accelerator pedal causing the engine to rev.

- What is wrong
- Honda is recalling certain model year 2005-2010 accord, 2007-2010 cr-v, and 2005-2008 element passenger cars manufactured from july 1, 2004, through september 3, 2010. The outer race of the secondary shaft bearing may be broken during certain driving styles. A broken outer race may cause abnormal noise, the malfunction indicator light to turn on, and allow contact between the transmission idle gear and an electronic sensor housing within the transmission.
- Risk
- This could result in a short circuit causing the engine to stall. Additionally, broken pieces of the outer race or ball bearing from the secondary shaft may become lodged in the parking pawl resulting in the vehicle rolling after the driver has placed the gear selector in the park position. Engine stall and unexpected vehicle movement increases the risk of a crash or personal injury to persons within the path of a rolling vehicle.
- Remedy
- Honda will notify owners and dealers will update the automatic transmission control module software free of charge. The safety recall began on august 27, 2011. Owners may contact honda automobile customer service at 1‑800‑999‑1009.
