Problems with 2002 Honda Accord FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

I have honda accord 2002 which has been regularly serviced by honda dealers. i recently got my 120k service done and spend about $1000 on service and parts. at that time everything was diagnosed ok. after couple of months driving the engine light came on. i went to the dealer and was told that my car needs transmission replacement with a cost of $4000 upward. i researched on the web and came to know that the 2002 accord have transmission issues. a recall was done in 2004 for transmission. i didn't receive any recall notice from honda in 2004. since honda knows about the issue i think honda should be liable to pay for the cost of fixing the transmission. could anyone let me know what is my rights in this situation considering it is a known issue and honda did nothing about it. it is a potential safety hazard since faulty transmission can lock the engine resulting in crash. please advise. *tr

Purchased the 2002 honda accord se coupe in march 2008 with 64k miles. after a few months of driving i began to feel a slight jerk when i placed my feet on the accelerator. took my car to a local honda dealership only to be told that i needed a transmission flush. after driving car i began to feel the slight jerk and over a year i recieved 2 transmission flushes. jerking has gotten so bad that i am not able to trade because it is basically a lemon. honda dealership has told me now that i need a new transmission. over 3k to replace and after calling american honda they refused to help with the cost. this is a known problem with the 2002 accords but yet they wont own up to it. i will never purchase a honda ever again. *tr

I am very disappointed with my very first new car purchase. i thought honda was supposed to be a number one car for safety and was supposed to be long lasting. i have had mine in the shop 6-7 times in the last 6 -7 months and it is due to go into the shop again because they still have not fixed the window buttons correctly. i have had the car not start 3 times and have brought it into the dealer to have them tell me that nothing is wrong. i have been without a car for several days while they have it hooked up to some computer and have had no rental cars available to me. i am very frustrated and very affraid to go out to my car and have it not start on a day that i really need it. i want these pronblems fixed and am bringing it to another dealer to see if they can help me with it. dt
