Power train: automatic transmission: control module (TCM/PCM/tecm)Reported August 4, 2011 · 1,512,107 vehicles affected
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.

Electrical component malfunctioning Knock Sensor: code error: p0325 I noticed my check engine light had came on but wasn't on for long and had turned off on the dash. A few weeks later the check engine light reappeared and did not go back off. Upon this happening I noticed a major difference in my vehicle performance. The fuel consumption had significantly increased, I recognized these shake like vibrations when sitting in park or at a complete stop. A "knocking noise" I would hear coming from the engine, as well as rough idling almost as if there was a "stalling/hesitant" idling that sounded very off. Adding a very noticeable reduced power from the engine that was not there when the check engine light was not on. This has been a confirmed malfunction and should be replaced due to the importance the knock sensor provides to the engine of this vehicle. This was confirmed by an employee at a parts store, with there computer code reader. Upon request for inspection; I have open availability. Confirmed: March 4, 2025 The additional code provided also stated the catalytic converter is recommended to be replaced as well. Engine related systems that power the vehicle such as (catalyst pipes) Powertrain (previously recalled prior time frame) due to this being a numerously reported issue with many other owners of this same vehicle I own. There is a reoccurring issue that absolutely goes hand in hand with the performance and job of the also stated ongoing problems I'm facing. The knock sensor is a vital part to the powertrain system that helps optimize engine performance and protects it from harmful knocking by monitoring combustion irregularities. Potentially if these are current issues, and have caused any kind of damage, the damage alone effects as follows: -wiring issues, internal malfunction, physical damage , corrosion from exposure to engine fluids, internal short circuit, mechanical damage, faulty wiring,excessive vibrations, wear and tear from use.

We heard a pop and the vehicle had no gears ... was told by mechanic that this should have been a recall. If it happened on the highway it may have been a fatality.

While making a left turn at low speed (10 MPH) and getting back up to speed on the highway (55mph speed limit), the vehicle lost the power connection to the wheels. The engine was revving as the gas pedal was being depressed, but the car was slowing down. Shifting the transmission to different gears (from d to d2, d1) did nothing. The highway was 2 lanes and there was not a lot of traffic, so luckily the 2 cars behind me were able to brake and switch lanes around me without causing an accident, while I was able to maneuver the vehicle from the left lane to the right shoulder. Evaluation by an ase certified shop at a luther dealership revealed that the drive shaft (drivers side) snapped into two pieces at the junction that is inside a rubber component. The shop disclosed to me that there are two recalls out for this exact issue by honda motor company, but my specific vehicle is not part of the recall. There are two separate recalls related to this problem per consumer reports. The 2013 through 2015 honda accord sedans are part of recall #20v769. The 2013-2015 acura ilx, 2013 acura ilx hybrid, 2012 honda civic hybrid, and 2007-2014 honda fit vehicles are part of recall #20v770.

Car begun to behave strangely, shifting late, too soon, randomly, so I took it to 4 shops here in houston and the common resolution or opinion from the 4 mechanics is that those transmissions are too weak for the engine the come with, so they advice to stop driving and junk the car, that trasnmission swap goes for 2400-4000$ and I dont have that money. Now going back home the car started slipping the 4th and 3rd gear and put me in risk due to the fact that I was on the highway and the transmission went from 4th or 5th to 2nd while doing 50mph to the point I had to stop and get the car towed, I ended up junk ing the car. Now my question is, my car had 120.000, no other recall on trasnmission, all mechanics know those transmissions are weak, nissan altimas up to 2011 had a recall on their really bad cut transmission and honda doesn't, it would be nice if the federal safety agency opens an investigation on this and make honda replace bad transmissions or pay up people who ended up taking the cars to a junkyard or refund transmission replament/repair costs.

I just bought the car and had it 1 week and I was driving to work when the check engine light came on suddenly and car started misfiring. This happened right when I was stopped at a light and turned on my A/C. 3 codes came on which were p0420, p0139, and p2647. I was told I need to reprogram the powertrain control module. I have seen many recalls on here for that same thing but when I put my VIN number in it says 0 recalls for my car. I just really feel it is related to campaign 11v395000
