While shifting the gear in reverse the car went forward, and when I shifted it to drive, the car went backward. When I stepped on the gas pedal lightly, it accelerated really fast and when I lightly step on the brake, it abruptly stops. The honda service department is trying to fix this car. The first problem reported was the "power switch" secondly they reported that it's a "transmission" but still couldn't figure out if what else is the problem. Lastly, they notified me on april 19, 2001 that the problem is the "transmission solenoid."
