Hi Members,
I am new to this forum since i recently purchased an Used 2002 Honda Accord EX , 4 Cyl Engine and got 144K Miles on it.

It runs smooth and no issues as i drove 200 miles as soon as i purchased it in Chicago,IL.

But when i take off accelerator and come to a complete STOP, my accord just jerks (not harsh but like Slick) from D4 to N or stop.

It struggles like going to 3K RPM from 1st to 2nd gear then everything is fine, smooth on the highway no issues.

Question is it problem with the brakes calipers or transmission? I don't want to take it to the shop and they mess up. Luckily there is NO Check Engine Lights so far. Touch Wood.

Guys pls help on what to do now.
Thanks
prs

• I'm really having a difficult time wrapping my brain around what you're trying to describe for us; would you please rephrase?
• Within the context of a Honda Accord (or for that matter, any other car built in modern history), there is no such a thing as a V4 engine. Your car has an I4 (Inline-4) engine.

 

Yes sorry it is I4. I have already mentioned 4 Cylinder Engine. Is it a problem understanding?

But the question is about brakes grabbing while stopping.

 

Are you sure the brakes are grabbing? FWIW, your automatic transmission does have a feature to aid braking by downshifting the transmission and using engine braking under some circumstances.

 

I tried to down**** to N when coming to a complete Stop but when i changed to D4, it has a Jerk forward when trying to take off from stop.

Is this related to brake/rotor issue or transmission?

 

Sounds pretty normal to me; stop shifting into Neutral when coming to a complete stop.

 

huh.......

took it to the mechanic and finally got the solution and fixed.

 

What was the issue?

 

Wraped Rotors which causes a jerk while coming to a stop. Mechanic advised to turn the rotors and replace brake pads.

 

If all he did was turn the rotors, expect the problem to resurface sooner than later.
