PROBLEM STARTED AS TRANSMISSION SLIPPING WHEN GOING UP HILLS. IT WOULD NOT GO INTO GEAR RIGHT AWAY AND WOULD REV UNTIL I LET OFF THE GAS AND REPEATED A FEW TIMES. THE REAL PROBLEM BEGAN SHORTLY THEREAFTER; AFTER DRIVING FOR APPROXIMATELY 20 MINUTES, REGARDLESS OF SPEED, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD SUDDENLY AND VIOLENTLY DOWNSHIFT SEEMINGLY FROM THIRD TO FIRST GEAR. ONCE IT HAPPENED, IT WOULD CONTINUE EVERY FEW MINUTES UNTIL I STOPPED AND TURNED OFF THE CAR. THE SECOND TIME THIS OCCURRED WAS WHILE MERGING ONTO A BUSY HIGHWAY. IMMEDIATELY AFTER, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE INSPECTED. THEY INITIALLY TOLD ME THERE WAS NO PROBLEM -- THEY ROAD-TESTED IT AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE IT. I INSISTED THEY DRIVE IT FOR 20 MINUTES AND UPON DOING SO, THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A TRANSMISSION FAILURE AND I WOULD NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. AFTER GETTING A SECOND OPINION (SINCE THE CAR ONLY HAD 55K MILES) FROM A HONDA-CERTIFIED MECHANIC, HE CONFIRMED THAT THE CLUTCHES WERE BURNT AND THE BEARINGS WORN OUT AND SAID IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM IN THE 2003 ACCORD 5-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. HAD THE MECHANIC REBUILD THE TRANSMISSION. *TR","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2003","productMake":"HONDA","productModel":"ACCORD","manufacturer":"Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)"}]}]}
