Honda Accord transmission problems

MY TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING BETWEEN 2ND AND 3RD GEAR SO I LOOKED IT UP ON THE INTERNET AND THERE WAS A RECALL ON IT. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT THE RECALL HAD BEEN FIXED BY PUTTING AN OIL COOLER ON THE TRANSMISSION IN OCTOBER OF 2004 AND THAT I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING MY TRANSMISSION. I TOLD THEM THAT IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT IT WAS NOT DONE BEFORE AND THAT I WAS NOT PAYING FOR IT BECAUSE MY CAR IS DOING EXACTLY TO THE WORD WHAT THE RECALL SAID IT WOULD DO. IT IS GETTING WORSE AND I AM AFRAID THAT IT MIGHT LOCK UP ON ME LIKE THE RECALL SAID THAT IT WOULD. I THINK THAT THEY SHOULD BE LIABLE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AS IT WAS NOT FIXED RIGHT THE FIRST TIME. *TR

MY 1998 HONDA ACCORD AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED. THERE ARE 130K ON IT. IN SEPT 2007 THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SLIP. WHEN I CAME TO A STOP IT WOULD JUMP. THE MORE THAT I DROVE IT WOULD SHIFT HARD INTO EVERY GEAR. ON OCT 30 2007 THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO JUMP FROM 1ST TO 3RD GEAR AND THEN WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO 2ND GEAR AT ALL. THE RPMS WERE AT 3K IN 1ST GEAR AND WOULD BEGIN TO JUMP WILDLY. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR SINCE IT IS A HAZARD ON THE ROAD. IT WILL COST AROUND $1200 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION WHICH I DO NOT HAVE. *TR

4-CYL ENGINE SHUTDOWN AT TRAFFIC LIGHT WHILE IDLING. CAR WOULD NOT RESTART, WINDOWS AND MOONROOF WOULD OPEN BUT NOT CLOSE, SHIFT LEVER WOULD NOT GO OUT OF "PARK". BY SOME MIRACLE DRIVER AND CAR SURVIVED RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AT DUSK WITH ASSISTANCE FROM POLICE OFFICER. CAR TOWED TO HONDA DEALER WHO REPLACED 50 AMP FUSE (ACTUALLY A MULTIPLE FUSE) LABELED "IG". DEALER ADVISED BY HONDA TO GIGGLE WIRES TO TRY TO DUPLICATE PROBLEM. PROBLEM DID NOT REOCCUR AND DEALER RETURNED CAR AFTER 4 DAYS. OLD PART NOT AVAILABLE. I DOUBT THAT THE FUSE WAS DEFECTIVE AND SUSPECT PROBLEM WILL REOCCUR. 4300 MILES ON CAR, AN EX. *TR

BOUGHT 2007 HONDA ACCORD HYBRID IN OCT, 07. REPORTED THAT THE CAR MAKES CLUNK NOISES WHEN SHIFTING SOMETIMES AND VIBRATES THE ENTIRE WHEN PULLING OFF SLOWLY AS IT AUTOMATICALLY SHIFTS INTO GEAR. THE CAR ALSO HESITATES WHEN PRESSING GAS TO SPEED UP WHICH NEARLY CAUSED ME TO GET REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER CAR WHO HAD TO HIT BRAKES TO STOP FROM HITTING ME. HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM SEVERAL TIMES IN WHICH THE LAST TIME THE ENGINEER WAS CONTACTING AND IT WAS STATED THAT THIS IS NORMAL OPERATION OF THE CAR AND NOTHING COULD BE DONE TO PREVENT. COMPLAINTS STARTED AT 1000 MILES AND CAR NOW HAS 600 MILES. HAVE VOICED COMPLAINT WITH DEALERSHIP AND HONDA OF AMERICA AND TO DATE NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT THE ISSUE. IT IS CRAZY TO SPEND THIS MUCH MONEY ON A CAR THAT AM BEING TOLD THAT VIBRATIONS AND CLUNKING NOISES ARE NORMAL. THIS IS TRULY A MATTER OF THE CUSTOMER BEING TREATED UNFAIRLY. ADDITIONALLY HONDA SAID THEY WOULD TAKE THE CAR IN AS TRADE AND GIVE ME $23,000 FOR THE CAR WHEN BLUE BOOK SAYS IT IS WORK CLOSE TO $26,000.. $3000 BELOW BLUE BOOK VALUE AND YET THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING AT APPROX 55 MPH THE CARS TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY SLIPPED INTO NEUTRAL AND THEN DOWN SHIFTED INTO 2ND OR 3RD GEAR AT 6500 RPM AND MY SPEED DROPPED TO 40 MPH AND LOWER AS THE CAR SHUTTERED AND KEPT SLIPPING IN AND OUT OF NEUTRAL AND GRABBING A LOWER GEAR AS I TRIED TO GO OVER A LONG SUSPENSION BRIDGE. IT WAS ONLY BY LUCK THAT A CAR OR 18 WHEELER DIDN'T PLOW INTO ME. I GOT THE CAR BACK TO THE ORIGINAL DEALER WHO TOLD ME THAT I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION FOR $2400 AT ONLY 41,000 MILES!!!. THIS TRANSMISSION WAS UNDER A RECALL BACK IN 2004. THERE IS AN OBVIOUS PROBLEM WITH THESE HONDA TRANSMISSIONS THAT THE NHTSA NEEDS TO ADDRESS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED OR SEVERELY INJURED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1995 HONDA ACCORD. WHEN SHIFTING, THE VEHICLE BANGS INTO GEAR AND THE TRANSMISSION JUMPS AND MAKES A LOUD NOISE. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A MEINEKE DEALER AND THEY DIAGNOSED THAT THE MUFFLER AND CATALYTIC CONVERTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, AND THE RIMS WERE BENT. THE UNDERBODY OF THE VEHICLE HAS AN INCH AND A HALF GAP, IN WHICH THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE CAN BE SEEN. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO HONDA AND THEY STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION, REAR BRAKES, ROTORS, MOTOR MOUNT, AND AIR BAGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. IN ADDITION, THE RIMS WERE BENT. THE SPEED AND POWERTRAIN WERE UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 91,027 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,806.

I PURCHASED A HONDA ACCORD AS A SECOND OWNER APPROXIMATELY TWO YEARS AGO AND AFTER A COUPLE MONTHS OF DRIVING STARTED TO EXPERIENCE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. AFTER SOME INVESTIGATION, I FOUND THIS IS A NORMAL COMPLICATION WITH THE 2000 HONDA ACCORD V6 EX. THERE IS WEBSITE AFTER WEBSITE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I WROTE HONDA TO SEE IF THEY HAD MORE INFORMATION ON THE TYPE OF PROBLEMS THAT COULD HAPPEN FROM THIS FAULTY TRANSMISSION AND AFTER REACHING THE HIGHEST LEVEL PERSON I COULD GET, HE TOLD ME HE HAD NO INFORMATION. AFTER ASKING IF THERE WAS ANY THING HONDA COULD DO, REALIZING THAT THEY HAVE MOVED THERE WARRANTY FROM 30,000 MILES TO 110,000 MILES TO COVER THIS PROBLEM, HE AGAIN STATED HE HAD NO INFORMATION. THE HONDA REPRESENTATIVE DID NOT KNOW IF THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION COULD LEAD TO A HAZARD OR NOT. I DO UNDERSTAND THAT ONCE YOU PURCHASE A VEHICLE THAT CONCERNS ARE NOT TYPICALLY COVERED, BUT THIS IS A WELL DOCUMENTED SAFETY HAZARD. DUE TO HONDA'S FAULTY CONSTRUCTION, MANY TRANSMISSIONS WERE REPLACED OR NEED REPLACED AT THE OWNERS COST. I WAS WONDERING WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL DUE TO THE SAFETY HAZARDS RELATED TO A FAULTY TRANSMISSION (HESITATION WITH PRESSING GAS PEDAL, AND DECREASE OF USE IN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR). BY EXTENDING THE WARRANTY, I BELIEVE HONDA RECOGNIZES THEY HAVE A PROBLEM BUT LEAVE MANY INDIVIDUALS TO FIND THEIR OWN SOLUTIONS. I HAVE OWNED HONDA'S FOR YEARS AND WILL PROBABLY MAKE IT MY LAST. I AM NOW, HOWEVER, STUCK WITH A CAR THAT HAS VERY POSSIBLY SAFETY HAZARDS TO ME AS A DRIVER. EVEN IF THE TRANSMISSION IS REPAIRED, THERE ARE MANY CASES OF FAILURE MULTIPLE TIMES OF DIFFERENT TRANSMISSIONS. AS TO DATE, I HAVE NOT HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED AND THE CAR CONTINUES TO GET HARDER TO DRIVE. THANKS *TR
