Just like many other popular cars, the automatic transmission in the 2002 Acura RSX has received some complaints. One common issue is that the Acura may unexpectedly accelerate on its own, requiring multiple taps of the gas pedal to prompt downshifting or sudden braking. Sometimes, the D4 light may come on, but the dealer might claim there is no problem when you bring the car in. Drivers may experience this issue as early as 20,000 miles on the odometer. When accelerating, the gear shifting in the automatic transmission can feel rough and hesitant, affecting both higher and lower gears. While dealers suggest updating the automatic transmission software to resolve this problem, some drivers have found that this fix does not effectively address the issue.
