It just keeps popping out of 3rd. Usually grinds when it does this.

Car will shift once it hits 40 mph and has a sustained humming roaring noise. I feel for sure it is the transmission, waiting to hear back from dealership.

I just had this into the dealer this morning, and they said they test drove it and could not duplicate. It hasn't been fixed. Honda needs to do a recall on 2008 Honda Accords at least, as they are experiencing many problems. I AM THINKING TOYOTA for my next car.

My 2004 Honda Accord is doing the same thing as I have read with others. I drive an automatic, but whenever my car is trying to shift from 2nd to 3rd it just goes into neutral and I have to let off the gas and sometimes it goes into gear and sometimes it doesn't. But once it gets into gear it doesn't come out. 4th gear is fine. I had a switched replaced that was about $85 and that just made my problem WAY worse. Now I can't drive at all. It won't shift into 3rd at all. I took it to Honda and they said its the transmission. They said its worn down. Now I'm waiting to take it to a transmission place because Honda can't do it there.

When shifting from second to third, it often kicks the shifter into neutral. I've driven manual for over 14 years an have never had this as an issue on any car I've driven until this. I've owned this Accord for just over a month and has had this problem the entire time (I originally thought it may have just been me).

When I shift from 2nd to 3rd gear, it sometimes pops back out of 3rd. It makes a slight grinding noise when it does.
