THE TRANSMISSON SHIFTS HARD. SOMETIMES IT EVEN SLIPS. IT STARTED DOING IT FEW MONTHS AGO. RIGHT KNOW MY CAR HAS ABOUT 80000 MILES ON IT. HONDA HAS A RECALL ON 2000 BUT SINCE IT IS A 1999 THEY ARE MAKING A EXCUSS. MY OLDER 91 ACCORD WAS PERFECT TILL 250,000 MILES . I GUESS WITH THIS KINDA QUALITY THIS WILL BE MY LAST HONDA EVER.
THE KEY OF THE CAR CAN BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH WITHOUT FIRST PLACING THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK. THIS MAKES IT POSSIBLE FOR THE DRIVER TO LEAVE THE CAR WITH THE KEY WITHOUT FIRST LOCKING THE TRANSMISSION. THIS IS NOT A ONE-TIME EVENT BUT CAN BE DONE AT ANY TIME.

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
