- 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.

I have dumped around 6k into this car and the issues span several different mechanics and a towing company. I stopped into a Firestone tire where they sold me new tires, struts, brakes, and a lifetime alignment. They didn’t do the alignment which destroy the 70k miles tires in 10k at which point they told me it was my fault for not getting an alignment. I said you charged me for the lifetime alignment. They took no ownership and after I got infuriated with the lack of support they banned me from calling any Firestone. Corporate won’t call me back. Fast forward and my car started doing the death wobble. I bought a new rack, pressure line, and oil pan as the pan was leaking. I guess when they did the oil change at Firestone they used an impact wrench and it was leaking from the oil bolt. I purchase the oil pan, gaskets, and oil. I posted up in a parking lot and jacked the car up. For one reason or another I couldn’t finish it on my own so I had a company c&s towing tow the car to Juan Carlos’ garage. C&s towing dragged the car in the flat bed breaking a range of things from a motor mount to a possible cv axle. The car is popping and is non functioning now. I got the car to Juan Carlos’s garage a week later after spending $500 in towing. Mr Carlos told me he only accepted cash and upon further questioning him while filming him he openly stated he accepted card. When I asked him why he profile me he had no response. The car is running worse than ever after it came back from Juan Carlos’s garage. The timing cover gasket he said he replaced is leaking. The oil cover gasket he said he replaced is leaking. He broke off a bolt in the timing cover and it looks like there is an entire bracket missing from the side where the timing cover is. The car is making terrible noise and the transmission is slipping now. I am very unsure why or how I have paid these people to work on my car. When it just gets worse. I got a credit card with Firestone and they won’t call me back to speak
When accelerating up to 50 MPH, vehicle shakes between 40 and 50 mph. Vehicle also accelerates on its own when in traffic at random times.
The Power Train: Automatic Transmission: Control Module (TCM, PCM) malfunctioned. My safety was at risk because the incident happened while I was operating the vehicle. No. No. The banging noise scared me so much that I turned off the vehicle without looking for warning messages.
Transmission is faulty and it often shudders when you drive the car with low rpms. If you give it more gas it stops shuddering. Nonetheless shifting is really poor for a brand with a good reputation.
After starting the car, I cannot shift the automatic gear shift selector out of park, or remove the key from the ignition.

Transmission control module car stalls and accelerates up and down on its on own. This happens in motion and when idle. This has been an ongoing issue for years.
I had the airbags and lock controls replaced per the recall notices. About 1 month after the air bag replacement my air conditioner started blowing warm air on and off. I never received a notice about the air conditioning system which supposedly was sent out as bulletin #12-072. I did have a 100,000 mile warranty on my car I thought but I am told it was only for 3 years and that my warranty expired after 7 years on my certified used car warranty. I would not have ignored the recall warning.
