What owners wrote
I bought the car from a dealership. And it was ok at first than check engines light came on and I got it checked out long story short the dealer replaced it. But I messed up my wrist bc of the jerk from the vehicle. And now a year and a half later my torque converter goes out again at 245,000 miles which means your transmission is out too. I been all over the web why hasn't NHTSA made honda recall their transmission when its effecting so many people. I'm now about to be out of a job, and home.
Second and third gears are defective in my 1998 automatic transmission accord, everytime I have a problem when I stop then move at a stop light.
