Honda Accord transmission problems

WHEN ACCELERATING BETWEEN 30MPH TO 40 MPH THERE IS A POWER LOSS AND THE TACHOMETER REVS TO 6.5 RPM AND BEYOND. THE ONLY WAY TO GET CAR TO MOVE FORWARD IS TO TAKE FOOT OFF ACCELERATOR AND LET RPM FALL BELOW 1 RPM. THIS WILL USUALLY WORK IN MOST CASES. USUALLY HAPPENS WITHIN 3 TO 7 MILES OF FIRST DRIVING THE CAR AND WHEN IT HAS BEEN SITTING FOR AT LEAST 3 TO 4 HOURS OR OVERNIGHT. *TR

CAR IDLES ROUGH AND STALLS,CHECK FUEL CAP MESSAGE COMES ON.THIS WAS AFTER THEY REPLACED ALTERNATOR DUE TO LIGHTS FLICKERING AND RADIO AND FANS GOING IN AND OUT.ALTERNATOR DID NOT HELP AND NOW THE IDLES IS HIGH AND ERATIC, SYSTEM THAT DETECTS MISSING FUEL CAP IS INOP. WHEN CAR COMES TO A STOP THE IDLE STOPS REAL HGIGH AND COMES DOWN AS YOU SIT AT THE LIGHT.THE DEALER SAYS THE OWNERS MAUAL IS WRONG ABOUT THE WAY SYSTEM WORKS.I DROVE TWO IDENTICAL ONES AND WHILE THE CARS WERE STILL OF POOR QUALITY,THE IDLE WAS THE SAME AS BEFORE THEY MESSED WITH CAR.OTHER ISSUES INCLUDE BAD SEAT TRACKS, BAD UPULSTRY, PAINT ON BUMPERS IMPROPERLY FINISHED. HONDA REFUSES TO FIX THESE ISSUES. I AM TAKING IT UNDER THE LEMON LAW AND URGE ALL OTHERS TO DO THE SAME. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE EXITING THE HIGHWAY AT 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ACCELERATE AND SHIFTED INTO SECOND GEAR. THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOPPED AND ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL BEGAN FLASHING. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT PLACED THE VEHICLE INTO ANOTHER GEAR AND THE RPM INCREASED. HE WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 94,000.

I HAVE A 1999 HONDA ACCORD LX 4 DOOR SEDAN WITH 71,000 MILES ON IT. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND THE DEALER SAYS THE P0740 CODE IS TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH ASSEMBLY FAILURE IS A $2900 REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION JOB. A TRANSMISSION SHOP TOLD ME THE SAME THING. A TRANSMISSION WITH 71,000 MILES, EVEN 7 YEARS OLD, SHOULD NOT GO OUT!!!! THERE WAS A HONDA TRANSMISSION CLASS ACTION SUIT COVERING ONLY 2000-2003 TRANNYS, MY MODEL YEAR IS EXCLUDED BUT SAME PROBLEM EXISTS !!!!! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1998 HONDA ACCORD. AFTER FOUR YEARS AND 49,278 MILES, A NEW TRANSMISSION WAS INSTALLED IN JULY OF 2002. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE NEW TRANSMISSIONS WERE MALFUNCTIONING; THEREFORE, THEY ONLY CHARGED THE CONTACT $1,000 FOR LABOR. IN MARCH OF 2008, THE VEHICLE NEEDS ANOTHER NEW TRANSMISSION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,278 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 102,658.

THE TRANSMISSION OF THE CAR WAS A RECALL BUT I NEVER RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THE AMERICAN HONDA. THE CAR ONLY HAS 93,587 MILES AND THE TRANSMISSION BROKE DOWN. WHEN I CALLED THE AMERICAN HONDA THEY TOLD ME THAT THE CAR WAS A RECALL WITH THE WARRANTY THE SEVEN YEARS AND 9 MONTHS OR 109,000 MILES. OF COURSE WHEN I CALL THE WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED. I EXPLAINED TO THEM THAT I NEVER RECEIVED THAT LETTER. THEY TOLD THEY DID NOT HAVE RECORD OF MY ADDRESS. *TR

TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP 3 MONTHS AGO COMPLAINING THAT SHIFT BETWEEN 2ND AND 3RD GEAR DID NOT SEEM RIGHT. DEALER DID TEST AND SAID EVERYTHING WAS OK. THE OTHER DAY DRIVING AT 40KMS/HR, CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO 3RD GEAR AT ALL. LUCKILY I WAS NOT ON THE HIGHWAY OR FAR FROM HOME WHEN THIS HAPPEN. TOOK CAR TO SAME DEALERSHIP, TOLD ME THEY WOULD REPLACE IT UNDER WARRANTY OF 7YRS AND 130,000 KMS. LUCKILY I'M ONLY AT 99K. HONDA OBVIOUSLY KNOWS THAT THIS TRANSMISSION IS MALFUNCTIONING ON ALL V6 AUTOMATICS, THEY SHOULD BE HELD LIABLE FOR ANY SERIOUS INJURIES THAT THIS MAY CAUSE. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO SLIP AND JUMP HARD INTO THE NEXT GEAR WHEN ACCELERATING. LOOKS LIKE THE PROBLEM IS SIMILAR TO THE ONE AFFECTING THE OTHER YEARS OF THIS MAKE/MODEL, BUT THERE IS NO RECALL ON THE 2002. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, AND THEY AGREED THERE WAS A PROBLEM, BUT THEY WOULDN'T TAKE CARE OF IT. ENDED UP $750 OUT OF POCKET FOR A REBUILT TRANNY FROM THEM. *TR

HONDA 6SPD TRANSMISSION HAS PROBLEM WITH 3RD GEAR. WHEN SHIFTING FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR, TRANSMISSION WILL EITHER POP OUT OF GEAR OR GRIND INTO GEAR. PROBLEM DOES NOT OCCUR ALL OF THE TIME AND STARTED WITH THE FIRST 7,500 MILES. PROBLEM OCCURS AT VARIOUS INTERVALS AT ABOUT 1-5% OF TOTAL DRIVE TIME. THIS USUALLY TAKES PLACE WHEN I FIRST START DRIVING THE CAR BUT STILL HAPPENS AFTER THIS AT FEWER INTERVALS. I'VE TAKEN THE CAR IN SEVERAL TIMES AND ADDRESSED THE ISSUE AT EVERY SERVICE. THE DEALER IS UNABLE TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM SINCE THE ISSUE DOESN'T HAPPEN VERY OFTEN. ON OR ABOUT THE 21 FEB 08 THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO ENTER 2ND GEAR. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT INTO 2ND BUT COULD NOT SHIFT INTO 1ST GEAR. THE DEALER FIXED THE ISSUE WITH 1ST GEAR AND SAID THEY FIXED 3RD. ON THE DRIVE HOME AND THERE AFTER I STILL HAD TROUBLE SHIFTING FROM 2ND TO 3RD. I NOW HAVE TROUBLE SHIFTING FROM 3RD TO 4TH. I'VE TRIED TO TAKE IT IN RECENTLY BUT THEY WHERE STILL UNABLE TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. *TR
