problem #1

2009Jan 05

Accord SE 2.4L 4 cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 9,000 miles

2007 Honda Accord SE 4dr 2.4L 4cyl automatic. Intermittently when coasting down a hill with foot on brake 35-45 mph, the transmission will downshift gears. At this speed, this is not a big problem, but I travel 55 miles to work through mountains, and the speed sometimes exceed 70 mph. An unintended downshift at these speeds could be life threatening.
I bought this used from a Toyota dealer with 6900 miles and paid a lot for it. Currently it has 9350 miles and the problem seems to be getting worse. Its worthy to note that I keep the fluid levels checked, and I baby this car, pedal has never been more than half way to the floor, and then only when entering highway traffic. I live in an area with very steep and winding but short hills.
If this is happening at 9,000 or less miles, how do I get to 90,000?
This is my first Japanese car and so far I am not impressed.
