2007 HONDA ACCORD Power Train Problems

After pulling my car in forward, my front cv axel was broke off and I had to have my car towed in to be fixed. The issue is consistent with a similar issue reported on [XXX] After reading through this, I need to know if I am at risk of further vehicle trouble now that my axel is repaired and if this is a recalled issue for my Honda Accord, then I want to ensure others can get this information right away. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

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.

The contact owns a 2007 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving at 40 MPH, the vehicle hesitated and shifted out of gear independently. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 130,000.

Power train recall has never been completed. Metro Honda refuses to fix

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.

My car will not change gears I hear a funny noise when driving. I've already replaced the Oxygen Sensor and now something is going on with the transmission I don't think it's my transmission I think it's the power train module

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 NHTSA 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

WITHIN A COUPLE WEEKS OF GETTING VEHICLE FROM A AND Z MOTORS IN CLUTE, TO 77531 THE FRONT SUSPECT STARTING SQUEAKING I'M NOT FOR SURE WHAT THE ISSUE IS, FRONT HOOD DOESN'T SET RIGHT LIKE IT WAS WRECKED BUT THEY NEVER TOLD TOLD ME IF IT HAD EVER BEEN IN A WRECK, ALL THE WINDOWS DO NOT ROLL DOWN, CATALIC CONVERTER RATTLES WHEN TAKING OFF. I HAVE SEEN THAT THE VEHICLE COULD HAVE A RECALL AND IT COULD BE AND ISSUE THAT COULD KILL MYSELF KR OTHERS IN A ROLL OVER.

I'VE HAD MY POWER STEERING PUMP AND RACK & PINION REPLACED. POWER STEERING IS STILL TOUGH, FEELS LIKE I'M TURNING THE WHEEL WITH 40LB WEIGHTS ON EACH SIDE OF IT. SUSPENSION IS FAILING, HITTING A BUMP MAKES MY CAR FEEL LIKE THE SUSPENSION IS PUSHING UP AND MAKES IT FLOAT MOMENTARILY AND MAKES A SLIGHT NOISE WHILE DRIVING. BOTH CV AXLES FAILED FRONT SIDE AT THE SAME POINT OF THAT RUBBER GROMMET IN THE MIDDLE, WATER GETS TRAPPED UNDER IT AND MAKES IT RUST OUT....BOTH OF THEM SNAPPED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT DIFFERENT POINTS.

IT FINALLY GOT TO THE POINT WHERE I COULDN'T PUSH ON THE GAS AT ALL WHEN IT WAS IN REVERSE OR THE TRANSMISSION WOULD LOCK UP AND THE CAR WOULDN'T REVERSE AT ALL. I CALLED HONDA AND INQUIRED ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT WAS TOLD THERE WERE NO ISSUES REPORTED IN REGARDS TO THE TRANSMISSION ON MY MODEL YEAR. THEY SAID THEY HAD ISSUES ON PRIOR MODEL YEARS BUT NOT ON MINE AND SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO AS IT WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. I ALSO INQUIRED AT TWO LOCAL HONDA DEALERS AND THEY SAID THEY THE SAME THING.

I BEGAN HAVING TROUBLE WITH MY POWER STEERING AT LEAST A YEAR AGO, IF NOT MORE. UPON TAKING THE CAR TO MY REGULAR PLACE OF MAINTENANCE I WAS INFORMED THERE COULD BE AN ISSUE WITH THE POWER STEERING PUMP BUT, SINCE IT WAS EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE, IT WAS SUGGESTED I REPLACE THE FLUID FIRST, WHICH I DID. PROBLEMS PERSISTED AND AGAIN SUGGESTIONS FROM BOTH HONDA AND OTHER REPAIR/ MAINTENANCE FACILITIES WERE TO HAVE THE HOSE OR FLUID REPLACED. THE HOSE WAS NEVER REPLACED BY ME. UPON RECEIPT OF THE SAFETY RECALL ISSUED IN FEB 2013 FOR THE "POWER STEERING HOSE" I TOOK MY CAR IN TO LANDMARK HONDA IN ALEXANDRIA, VA TO HAVE THE RECALL PROCESSED ON MY CAR. I WAS INFORMED THE "POWER STEERING HOSE" WAS REPLACED, PER HONDA BUT WAS ALSO INFORMED THE ISSUE WITH MY CAR WAS NOT THE SPECIFIC HOSE HONDA IDENTIFIED IN THE RECALL???????? I WAS INFORMED MY "RESERVOIR HOSE" WAS LEAKING THEREFORE CAUSING MY POWER STEERING PUMP TO FAIL. UPON ARGUING WITH THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP I WAS INFORMED I WAS OUT OF LUCK TO HAVE THE ISSUE RESOLVED BY HONDA. I PLACED A CALL TO AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO., INC AND WAS INFORMED OF THE EXACT SAME THING BECAUSE "THE HOSE THAT HONDA IDENTIFIED AS FAULTY WAS IN FACT REPLACED, THAT WAS JUST NOT THE ISSUE WITH YOUR CAR." THIS LETTER IS BEING SENT BECAUSE, HOW DOES THE POWER STEERING FAIL ON A 6 YEAR OLD CAR AND HOW CAN HONDA TELL ME ALL OF THESE ISSUES ARE NOT RELATED TO THE SAME RECALL? I WANT THESE ISSUES ADDRESSED AS A SAFETY CONCERN AND AS AN EXPENSE CONCERN ON MY PART. ALL OF THESE ISSUES ARE 100% RELATED AND HAVE CAUSED MY POWER STEERING PUMP TO GO BAD BUT HONDA WILL TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT. HONDA IS RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING THIS ON MY CAR AND I WANT THIS INFORMATION MADE PUBLIC SINCE CLEARLY THEY WANT TO IGNORE IT. I EXPECT TO BE CONTACTED BY HONDA OR BY THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION AND I EXPECT NHTSA TO DO ITS JOB. *TR

AS I STARTED THE CAR IN THE MORNING, I FELT JERK WHILE IT CHANGED GEARS FROM 1ST TO 2ND AND SO ON. I THINK IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE IT IS UNEXPECTED AND CAR CAN FAIL ANYTIME AND MAY CAUSE ACCIDENT.

SINCE MY PURCHASE, JUNE OF 2007 I HAVE HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM AND AT THAT TIME HONDA HAD FULFILLED THE QUALITY EXPECTATIONS. HOWEVER; A LARGER ISSUE IS AT HAND REGARDING MY CAR TRANSMISSION CAUSING A LEAKING PROBLEM. UPON DISCOVERING THE LEAKAGE, I IMMEDIATELY TOOK MY CAR OUT FOR SERVICE.

IT IS AT 90000 MILES RIGHT NOW AND I HAVE DONE ALL THE MAINTENANCE ON IT AND IT IS JUST WENT OUT OF COMMISSION. I CALLED HONDA AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NO RECALLS FOR THE 2007. I THINK THEY NEED TO INVESTIGATE THIS TO SEE IF SOME OF THE 07 ACCORDS FALL UNDER THE RECALL LIST. I PAID 40000 FOR THIS VEHICLE AND STILL HAVE 6 PAYMENTS LEFT ON IT. PLEASED DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. I AM SINGLE PARENT AND HAVE NO TRANSPORTATION. *TR

WHILE PARKING MY CAR IN MY GARAGE, I HAD PUT IT IN PARK AND TOOK MY FOOT OF THE BRAKE PEDAL, MY 2007 HONDA ACCORD SEDAN LUNGED FORWARD HITTING MY DRYWALL, SOLAR WATER HEATER, WASHER AND DRYER THEN IT JUMPED BACK AND STOPPED. I WAS SO STUNNED AS I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPENING HERE. INSTANTLY THE CAR DECIDED TO GO IN REVERSE AT AN ACCELERATED RATE DOWN THE HILL OF MY DRIVEWAY HITTING THE CONCRETE SIDE OF MY NEIGHBOR'S GARAGE, THEIR CAR AND BOUNCED FORWARD UP THE HILL TO HIT MY HOUSE AGAIN AND STOPPED AT THE CREST OF THE HILL. THE CAR IS TOTALED. STATE FARM INSURANCE HIRED AN INVESTIGATOR SEA THAT DECIDED THAT THERE ARE NO DEFICIENCIES YET THEY FAILED TO LOOK AT THE TRANSMISSION, ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE, POWERTRAIN ONLY REVIEWED THE BRAKES, TIRES, THROTTLE. CAN YOU HELP ME. AFTER REVIEWING AN ARTICLE OF THE TOYOTAS AND HOW THEY AND OTHER MANUFACTURERS HAVE GONE TO A NEW ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL MODULE WHICH HAS RESULTED IN THE SAME TYPE OF PROBLEM, I ACCELERATED AS MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE THE WHOLE TIME AND THE SHIFT GEAR WAS IN PARK. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED FURTHER . POSSIBLE NEW RECALL. THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER INCIDENTS LISTED ON THE HONDA MALFUNCTIONS COMPLAINT PAGE UNDER 2007 HONDA ACCORDS WITH THE SAME TYPE OF PROBLEMS, CARS BEING TOTALED AND WHAT RECOURSE DO WE HAVE AS CONSUMERS? OBVIOUSLY STATE FARM ISN'T GOING TO PURSUE IT WITH HONDA JUST CHARGE TO ME AS AN ACCIDENT AND PROBABLY DROP ME AND RAISE MY RATES SKY HIGH. I NEED HELP ON HOW TO PURSUE THIS FURTHER. $10,000 DAMAGE TO MY HOUSE, CAR TOTALED @ $18,000+, AND $19,000+ DAMAGE TO MY NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE. LUCKILY NO CHILDREN WERE OUT AND NO DEATHS OCCURRED AS A RESULT OF THIS. THE ONLY AIR BAG THAT DEPLOYED WERE THE SIDE CURTAINS NOT THE DRIVER'S SIDE EITHER. *TR

I WAS PASSING A LARGE TRUCK, DOWNGEARED INTO THIRD GEAR, LET OUT THE CLUTCH, AND THE TRANSMISSION POPPED OUT OF THIRD GEAR. I FOUND MYSELF IN NEUTRAL FACING ON COMING TRAFFIC, AND HAD TO SLAM ON MY BRAKES AND PULL IN BEHIND THE TRUCK (ALMOST HAD A HEAD ON COLLISION). THIS POPPING OUT OF GEAR, AND DIFFICULTY SHIFTING INTO GEAR HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER A YEAR AND OCCURS PERHAPS 3 OR 4 TIMES A MONTH. AFTER THIS NEAR MISS I DECIDED TO GET IT FIXED. BEFORE GOING TO THE DEALER THIS MORNING I DID AN INTERNET SEARCH ON "3 GEAR ACCORD 6 CYLINDER MANUAL" AND ONE OF THE RESULTS WAS HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN 08-020. THIS BULLETIN COVERS MY 07 ACCORD AND IS FOR "TRANSMISSION GRINDS WHEN SHIFTING INTO 3RD GEAR, POPS OUT OF 3RD GEAR, OR IS HARD TO SHIFT INTO 3RD GEAR, NOTE: THESE SYMPTOMS CAN BE INTERMITTENT AND SOMETIMES MORE NOTICEABLE IN COLDER CLIMATES. FAULTY 3RD GEAR SYNCHRONIZER OR SHIFT SLEVE" SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE MY PROBLEM SO I WENT TO THE DEALER TODAY TO HAVE IT CORRECTED. THE DEALER WENT FOR A TEST DRIVE AND COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM (IT CAN GO FOR OVER A WEEK WITHOUT SHOWING UP), HE SAID HONDA'S POLICY WAS UNLESS THEY COULD SEE THE PROBLEM HONDA WOULD NOT AUTHORIZE ANY REPAIRS TO BE MADE. I CALLED UP US HONDA (800 999 1009) AND SPOKE TO A MR JIMMY RUDNER WHO VERIFIED WHAT THE DEALER SAID. SO HONDA HAS FOUND A PROBLEM WITH THEIR TRANSMISSION (THE ONE THAT ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HAVE A HEAD ON COLLISION), RELEASED A SERVICE BULLETIN ON HOW TO FIX IT, BUT REFUSES TO DO ANY REPAIRS UNTIL THIS 3 OR 4 TIMES A MONTH INTERMITTENT PROBLEM STARTS TO FAIL OFTEN ENOUGH FOR IT TO FAIL WHILE THE DEALER IS ACTUALLY DRIVING THE CAR. MEANWHILE THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. *TR

VEHICLE: 2007 HONDA ACCORD EX - 6 CYLINDER PROBLEM: TRANSMISSION FAILURE WITH LESS THEN 5K MILES, MY ACCORD BEGAN TO SURGE WHEN DRIVING. A SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON AND I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED AND HONDA REPLACED IT WITH A REBUILT TRANSMISSION EVEN THOUGH THE DEALER TOLD ME INITIALLY IT WAS A NEW TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE NOW HAS 17K MILES AND I STILL HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. WHEN SLOWING FOR A RED LIGHT THE VEHICLE WILL DOWN SHIFT SUDDENLY CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LURCH. I AM NOT CONFIDANT IN HONDA. *TR

BACKING INTO MY PARKING SPOT AT WORK I INADVERTENTLY TURNED THE ENGINE OFF WHILE THE CAR WAS IN REVERSE. I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE AND THE CAR ROLLED FORWARD, ACROSS THE DRIVEWAY. I WAS TOLD, BY THE DEALER AND AMERICAN HONDA, THAT THIS WAS NORMAL - THAT THE CAR GOES INTO "NEUTRAL" WHEN THE IGNITION IS OFF AND I SHOULD PUT THE CAR IN PARK (DUH!). THIS SEEMS A SERIOUS SAFETY RISK SHOULD A CHILD OR ANYONE PUT A CAR (I TESTED THIS WITH MY 2006 VOLVO S60, AS WELL) IN GEAR, IT WILL NOT GEAR-LOCK. *TR

HONDA 6SPD TRANSMISSION HAS PROBLEM WITH 3RD GEAR. WHEN SHIFTING FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR, TRANSMISSION WILL EITHER POP OUT OF GEAR OR GRIND INTO GEAR. PROBLEM DOES NOT OCCUR ALL OF THE TIME AND STARTED WITH THE FIRST 7,500 MILES. PROBLEM OCCURS AT VARIOUS INTERVALS AT ABOUT 1-5% OF TOTAL DRIVE TIME. THIS USUALLY TAKES PLACE WHEN I FIRST START DRIVING THE CAR BUT STILL HAPPENS AFTER THIS AT FEWER INTERVALS. I'VE TAKEN THE CAR IN SEVERAL TIMES AND ADDRESSED THE ISSUE AT EVERY SERVICE. THE DEALER IS UNABLE TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM SINCE THE ISSUE DOESN'T HAPPEN VERY OFTEN. ON OR ABOUT THE 21 FEB 08 THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO ENTER 2ND GEAR. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT INTO 2ND BUT COULD NOT SHIFT INTO 1ST GEAR. THE DEALER FIXED THE ISSUE WITH 1ST GEAR AND SAID THEY FIXED 3RD. ON THE DRIVE HOME AND THERE AFTER I STILL HAD TROUBLE SHIFTING FROM 2ND TO 3RD. I NOW HAVE TROUBLE SHIFTING FROM 3RD TO 4TH. I'VE TRIED TO TAKE IT IN RECENTLY BUT THEY WHERE STILL UNABLE TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. *TR

BOUGHT 2007 HONDA ACCORD HYBRID IN OCT, 07. REPORTED THAT THE CAR MAKES CLUNK NOISES WHEN SHIFTING SOMETIMES AND VIBRATES THE ENTIRE WHEN PULLING OFF SLOWLY AS IT AUTOMATICALLY SHIFTS INTO GEAR. THE CAR ALSO HESITATES WHEN PRESSING GAS TO SPEED UP WHICH NEARLY CAUSED ME TO GET REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER CAR WHO HAD TO HIT BRAKES TO STOP FROM HITTING ME. HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM SEVERAL TIMES IN WHICH THE LAST TIME THE ENGINEER WAS CONTACTING AND IT WAS STATED THAT THIS IS NORMAL OPERATION OF THE CAR AND NOTHING COULD BE DONE TO PREVENT. COMPLAINTS STARTED AT 1000 MILES AND CAR NOW HAS 600 MILES. HAVE VOICED COMPLAINT WITH DEALERSHIP AND HONDA OF AMERICA AND TO DATE NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT THE ISSUE. IT IS CRAZY TO SPEND THIS MUCH MONEY ON A CAR THAT AM BEING TOLD THAT VIBRATIONS AND CLUNKING NOISES ARE NORMAL. THIS IS TRULY A MATTER OF THE CUSTOMER BEING TREATED UNFAIRLY. ADDITIONALLY HONDA SAID THEY WOULD TAKE THE CAR IN AS TRADE AND GIVE ME $23,000 FOR THE CAR WHEN BLUE BOOK SAYS IT IS WORK CLOSE TO $26,000.. $3000 BELOW BLUE BOOK VALUE AND YET THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. *TR

MANUAL SHIFT FROM 2ND GEAR TO 3RD GEAR OCCASIONALLY HITS A NOTCH GOING INTO 3RD. WHEN YOU RELEASE THE CLUTCH ASSUMING YOU ARE IN 3RD, THE GEARS GRIND LOUDLY AND THE SHIFT LEVER IS THROWN FORCIBLY BACK TO NEUTRAL, LEAVING YOU WITHOUT POWER. THE CAR HAS ONLY 3,000 MILES ON IT. THE HONDA DEALER AND HONDA AMERICA SAY THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS DESIGNED TO OPERATE THIS WAY, THAT THIS IS NOT A DEFECT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY AND THAT THERE IS NOTHING TO REPAIR. *TR
