| The car acted like it was 'missing' gears, but this went away. i started to enter the freeway ramp and increase speed and the car did it several times again ('missing gears', reving but not moving forward like it should) and was almost hit by several cars trying to get me to move. i was unable to get the car to move, so i immediately used gps to locate a service station. i was able to drive the to the repair shop, but the car symptoms continued to get worse, which was a significant safety hazard! no check engine lights came on at all! i was able to make it to the driveway of the repair shop, but they had to push the car into the bay to review it. the repair place determined that the transmission has an internal problem, which is very commom with 2003 honda accords. i only had 89,900 miles on the car. i have owned several hondas and have never had problems such as this. however, honda knows that this is an ongoing, safety hazard but has done nothing to address these ongoing issues (outside of the class action lawsuit requirements). i will be looking at new cars and hondas will not be on my list! i am asking the us department of transporation to please thoroughly review the history of transmission issues with these cars and require appropriate consumer protection by honda. | |||
