My transmission is slipping from 2nd going into 3rd gear. It revs up really high when shifting and jerks. All the other gears are fine. my car only has 104,484 miles.

On 1/29/2022 at about 11am I was stopped in a turning lane waiting at a redlight. When the light turned green I pressed the gas pedal. At this moment the ability to drive, brake, and select gear all failed. I deployed my emergency brake. I called the police to let them know I was blocking traffic and my car was towed. When my car was taken to be repaired the mechanic determined that the CV Axle Driveshafts had failed due to salt corrosion. These were then repaired and the car worked again as normal.

HONDA ACCORD 2010 EX 4-CYL MANUAL TRANSMISSION - VEHICLE ID IS [XXX] I WENT TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AS I APPROACHED A STOP LIGHT. IT HAD FELT 'ODD' LEAVING THE PREVIOUS LIGHT. THE CLUTCH PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND STAYED THERE. THE GEARBOX LOCKED UP SO I COULDN'T SHIFT INTO ANY GEAR. THE MOTOR WAS STILL RUNNING NORMALLY. A MOTORCYCLE COP CAME TO HELP ME - IT WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC - AND HE COULDN'T GET THE CLUTCH OR GEARS TO WORK. I TURNED IT OFF. AFTER ABOUT FIVE MINUTES, I LOOKED AT THE CLUTCH PEDAL. A GENTLE TUG AND IT CAME BACK UP. I RESTARTED THE CAR AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT HOME, A COUPLE MORE MILES, WITHOUT FURTHER PROBLEMS. THE CAR HAD 900 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. I CONSULTED AN ONLINE HONDA TECHNICIAN AND RECEIVED THIS RESPONSE: "THE PROBLEM IS THE CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER . THERE ARE ISSUES WITH THE RODS GETTING STUCK .

THE CAR HAD ONLY 4100 MI. AND CONSUMED A COMPLETE FILL DRY. TOOK IT TO LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS NORMAL AT TIMES FOR THE CAR TO DO THIS ONE TIME. CAR WAS ALSO SHUTTING THE CYLINDERS DOWN AT APP.30 MPH NOT THE 55 MPH IT WAS DESIGNED TO DO TO SAVE MILEAGE. IT WAS RETURNED TO US AND 3 DAYS LATER STARTED DOING IT AGAIN. RETURNED TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT HAD THE WRONG PLUGS IN IT.CHANGED THE PLUGS AND RETURNED TO US. DROVE THE CAR APPP. 90 MI. AND STARTED IT AGAIN. THE SERVICE MGR. TOLD US THAT THIS WAS HAPPENING TO MORE THAN MY ACCORD. THIS TIME THEY CALLED AND TOLD ME THAT THE ROCKER ARM PIN IN CYL. NO.2 WAS UNDERSIZED AND WAS STICKING CLOSED,CAUSING A MISS. BUT NOT SURE IF THIS WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM OR NOT. ALL THE WHILE THEY WERE COMMUNICATING WITH ENGR. FROM HONDA. THEY HAVE MY CAR FOR A WEEK AND IT IS A LEASE.THEY ARE TALKING OF CHANGING A HEAD OR MAYBE EVEN THE BLOCK. PURCHASING A 30000.00 AUTO AND HAVING ONLY 4900 MI. IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. I WOULD LIKE ANOTHER HONDA IN IT'S PLACE AND I WOULD BE COMPLETELY SATISFIED. HAD THE ROCKER ARM STUCK OPEN THE PISTON WOULD HAVE EXPLODED AND COULD CAUSE GREAT BODILY HARM TO MYSELF AND ANYONE AROUND ME AT THE TIME. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION OCCURRING HERE AND COULD REALLY INVOLVE A LOT OF INNOCENT PEOPLE IF IT CONTINUES. *TR
