2008 Honda Accord acceleration problems

Filed Jul 5, 2022 · Acceleration, Electrical · GA

I am having issues with my transmission. My gears get stuck between 2nd and 3rd gear while driving. It loses power and I have to switch to Neutral and put it back in Drive in order for it to become unstuck. I have taken it to Honda, and they told me it was the computer, and several other things. They replaced $2000 worth of parts and the problem still happens. I took it back to Honda and they told me I needed a new transmission after they took $2000 from me. This initially started approximately 5 months ago when my engine light came on.

Transmission shifts hard on acceleration, causing hard jerks. When braking rpms is still high and engine is high. It is truly an unsafe situation. It seems the car doesn't know what gear to be in. And when you turn it does the same.

This 2008 honda accord constantly misses mostly from cylinder 1 and sometimes just spits oil out of the tailpipe.the misses happen at idle, and almost 100% when attempting to pass making it extremely unsafe. It has had many sensors replace, its timing belt replaced, all coils, and sparkplugs many times. The mechanic says the spark plugs are laser irridium and should last 100,000 miles but are lucky to last 10,000 miles. I am not sure what documents to include but am just getting this complaint started. I have the accord at the mechanic today but it has been multiple repairs prior to this.

Turned into a parking space in a parking lot, in motion at slow parking lot speeds, when burst of unintended acceleration occurred. Pushed down on the brakes, but the brakes did not end up stopping the car or even slowing down the sudden acceleration. This made me then go to turn the car off with the keys, but not before the car already had went beyond the parking space bumper and into the wall. A wall window was broken and the front of my car was ruined. Air bags did not deploy. Insurance did not check the car for error codes and filed off the situation as a total loss, paying off the rest I owed on the car with the deductible.
