Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda accord. The contact stated while the vehicle was in park, when it rolled backwards and crashed into another vehicle. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact was relating this failure to NHTSA campaign number: 20v771000 (electrical system, back over prevention, visibility/wiper, visibility, exterior lighting). The vehicle was taken to honda of columbia (4333 sunset blvd, lexington, sc 29072) where the recall was serviced. The vehicle had been repaired.
2018 honda accord 2.0t touring with 10-speed automatic transmission, mileage < 1000. Transmission has rough shifting from 2nd into 3rd gear at low rpms/speed (2,000 RPM / < 14MPH) feeling like a manual shift car popping the clutch. This can happen when car is cold or warmed up, car is in the northeast with cold or hot weather. I noticed that the rpms don't drop when it happens which creates the slam into gear feeling judder.
