description: 2003 HONDA ACCORD EX V6. CURRENT MILEAGE 62,000. PURCHASED NEW, SINGLE OWNER/DRIVER. AT APPROX 60,000 MILES BEGAN WITH INTERMITTENT SHIFTING FAILURE. IT WILL FAIL TO ACCELERATE WHEN IT SHIFTS FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR. IT VARIES IN TIME WHEN IT WILL RE-ENGAGE AND IT HAS LEFT ME IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION SEVERAL TIMES AND THERE IS NO WARNING FOR THIS FAILURE. IT HAS BEEN REPORTED NUMEROUS TIMES AND SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM OF THIS YEAR AND MODEL. RECENTLY I PULLED OUT ONTO A ROADWAY AND BEGAN TO ACCELERATE, WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO ENGAGE WHEN SHIFTING INTO 3RD GEAR, ENROUTE TRAFFIC CAUGHT UP TO ME AND MY ABRUPT FAILURE TO ACCELERATE/MERGE WITH TRAFFIC, CAUSED AN ACCIDENT OF SEVERAL OF THOSE VEHICLES THAT WERE APPROACHING WITH WET ROAD CONDITIONS TO MY VEHICLE THAT WAS ABRUPTLY STRANDED AND IMMOBILE. I WAS NEARLY REAR ENDED AND HAD NO WARNING THAT THIS FAILURE IS GOING TO OCCUR. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND AM VERY CONCERNED. PLEASE ADVISE. *TR
