THIS STARTED AFTER EXITING THE INTERSTATE AND STOPPING TO LOOK AT THE MAP ABOUT 40 MILES FROM MY DESTINATION. I TRIED DRIVING AS GENTLY AS I COULD AND THE CAR WOULD START SHIFTING NORMALLY AND AT SOME POINT AFTER SHIFTING INTO A GEAR HIGHER NUMBER GEAR THAN 1ST IT WOULD DOWNSHIFT INTO 1ST. NONE OF THE GEARS WERE SLIPPING. AFTER A NUMBER OF STARTS IT WENT INTO LIMP HOME MODE STAYING IN 1ST GEAR AND I FINISHED MY TRIP IN 1ST ON COUNTRY ROADS. I LET THE CAR SIT ALL DAY WHILE AT THE FUNERAL AND WHEN I STARTED IT TO PUT IT ON A TRAILER IT WAS WORKING FINE. THEREFORE I LEFT FOR HOME. ONCE THE ENGINE WAS UP TO TEMP IT STARTED DOING IT AGAIN. THIS TIME I QUICKLY PUT THE TRANS IN NEUTRAL FOR 2-3 SECONDS THEN BACK INTO DRIVE AND ALL WAS WELL FOR A FEW MILES, SOMETIMES 20-30 AND IT DID IT AGAIN. IF I WEREN'T AN EXPERIENCED DRIVER AND ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL WHILE QUICKLY PUTTING THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL IT I HAVE NO DOUBT IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. WHEN TRAVELING AT 65-70MPH ON THE INTERSTATE DOWNSHIFTING TO 1ST IS VERY DANGEROUS.   MY CAR IS AT THE DEALER WHO JUST SAYS THE TRANS MUST BE REPLACED FOR $,3610.00 AND CANNOT EXPLAIN WHY IT SHIFTS FINE WHEN COLD BUT STARTS ACTING UP WHEN HOT. WE HAVE ABOUT 112,000 MILES ON THIS CAR AND HAVEN'T HAD ANY PROBLEMS UNTIL THIS WHICH WAS SHORTLY AFTER THE DEALER FLUSHED AND REFILLED THE TRANSMISSION. I'VE CALLED HONDA USA AND AM WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM THEM. MANY TALK OF THEIR TRANS GOING OUT OF GEAR AND COASTING WITH THE RPM SUDDENLY SHOOTING UP AS IF IT WERE IN NEUTRAL AFTER WHICH NO GEAR WILL ENGAGE. MINE NEVER SLIPPED IN ANY GEAR, JUST DOWNSHIFTS ABRUPTLY TO 1ST WITHOUT WARNING.   I'VE ASKED HONDA WHY IT WORKS FINE WHEN COLD AND NOT WHEN WARMED UP. THEY DON'T KNOW AND JUST REPEAT THAT THE TRANS NEEDS REPLACING. THIS IS DEFINATELY A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2003","productMake":"HONDA","productModel":"ACCORD","manufacturer":"Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)"}]}]}
