Honda Accord transmission problems

I HAVE A 2007 HONDA ACCORD V6 INSIDE THE DOOR IT SAYS IT WAS MANUFACTURE ON AUG 2006 AND I BOUGHT IT THAT YEAR IN SEPTEMBER. WHAT IT HAPPENING IS THE TRANSMISSION IS DOING ALL THE SIGNS OF THE 2003-2006 RECALLS OF THE TRANSMISSION. THE HIGH PITCH NOISE AND IT WONT GO INTO 3RD GEAR. I ALSO SOMETIMES DROP RIGHT IN TO THE FIRST GEAR. I HAVE SINCE STOP DRIVING IT. I WAS ON THE FREEWAY IN THE CARPOOL LANE DURING COMMUTE TIME WITH MY CHILDREN WHEN IT DECIDED TO GO OUT OF GEAR. IT IS AT 90000 MILES RIGHT NOW AND I HAVE DONE ALL THE MAINTENANCE ON IT AND IT IS JUST WENT OUT OF COMMISSION. I CALLED HONDA AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NO RECALLS FOR THE 2007. I THINK THEY NEED TO INVESTIGATE THIS TO SEE IF SOME OF THE 07 ACCORDS FALL UNDER THE RECALL LIST. I PAID 40000 FOR THIS VEHICLE AND STILL HAVE 6 PAYMENTS LEFT ON IT. PLEASED DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. I AM SINGLE PARENT AND HAVE NO TRANSPORTATION. *TR

THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING THAT MY TRANSMISSION WAS GOING TO FAIL. I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. WHEN IT TURNED GREEN, I STARTED TO GO AND WAS ENTERING ONTO AN INTERSTATE ON RAMP. I WAS IN 5PM TRAFFIC, WHICH WAS THICK. MY CAR WASN'T PICKING UP SPEED. I LOOKED DOWN AND THE RPMS WERE HIGH. I LET UP OFF THE GAS. THE CAR STARTED TO GO, AND THEN JERKED LIKE IT WAS STOPPING. THE CAR BEHIND ME ALMOST REAR ENDED ME. I WAS IN THE INTERSTATE ON RAMP WITH NO WHERE TO PULL OVER. I TRIED TO GIVE IT GAS, AND THE CAR WOULD NOT PICK UP SPEED FAST ENOUGH. I LET UP OFF THE GAS AGAIN AND IT WOULD GO AND THEN JERK TO ALMOST A STOP. IT WAS LIKE SOMEONE ELSE HAD CONTROL OF THE GAS PEDAL AND BREAK PEDAL. IT DID THIS FIVE OR SIX TIMES UNTIL I COULD GET OFF THE ROAD. I HAD IT TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHERE I WAS TOLD THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED WHICH WOULD COST $4,000. AGAIN, I HAD NO WARNING THIS WOULD HAPPEN AND HAD NO PRIOR PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THE FLUID HAD BEEN CHANGED JUST 3 MONTHS BEFORE THIS HAPPENED. THE CAR HAD ALWAYS BEEN MAINTAINED AT THE DEALERSHIP. THIS IS A 2004 HONDA ACCORD EX, 6 CYLINDER, WITH 134,000 MILES AT THE TIME. HONDA REFUSED TO HELP WITH ANY COST. ALTHOUGH THERE WAS A RECALL ON SOME 2004 ACCORDS, THEY SAID MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT ONE OF THOSE. A WEBSITE SHOWS 78 OTHER PEOPLE WHO EXPERIENCED THE EXACT SAME THING...WITH NO WARNING AND WITH MILEAGE BETWEEN 80,000-140,000. SURELY, HONDA IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND IT WAS BROADER THAN THEY THOUGHT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED!! I PLAN TO BRING THIS TO THE MEDIA'S ATTENTION. *TR

I WAS DRIVING OUR 2004 HONDA ACCORD EX V6. MY WIFE WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. I ENTERED THE FREEWAY ACCELERATING TO FREEWAY SPEEDS (60MPH) AND AROUND 55MPH THE CAR'S ENGINE REVVED TO 6000RPM. KNOWING SOMETHING WAS WRONG I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS. THE CAR BEGAN TO COAST AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT CAUGHT A LOWER GEAR AND VIOLENTLY STARTED TO ENGINE BRAKE. I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR. I'M CERTAIN THAT IF THE PAVEMENT WAS WET I WOULD HAVE. I AM AN EXPERIENCED DRIVER AND WAS ABLE TO KEEP US ON THE ROAD. IF MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THINGS MIGHT HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT. THE CAR HAS BEEN WELL TAKEN CARE OF AND HAS HAD ALL OF ITS SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTIONS (WITH RECORDS). THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO REPAIR SHOP AND WE WERE INFORMED THE CAR'S TRANSMISSION IS BAD. THE CAR HAS 121,000 MILES. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR TRANSMISSION ISSUES WITH THIS CAR YEAR MODEL THAT INCLUDED CARS MANUFACTURED TO JANUARY 8, 2004. OUR CAR WAS MANUFACTURED IN JANUARY 2004 AND NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. WE HAVE YET TO HAVE THE CAR REPAIRED BECAUSE OF THE INSANELY HIGH REPAIR COST. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED SEVERAL INTERNET SITES AND NEWSPAPER ARTICLES REFERRING TO HONDA TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. I AM THANKFUL THAT I DIDN'T WRECK THE CAR, BUT NOW THE CAR IS SITTING IN OUR DRIVEWAY NOT DRIVE-ABLE. OBVIOUSLY, NOW I WONDER IF MY CAR SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I HOPE SOMEONE DOESN'T HAVE TO DIE BEFORE THIS PROBLEM IS BROUGHT TO LIGHT AND REMEDIED BY HONDA. *TR

2003 HONDA ACCORD EX. CONSUMER STATES PROBLEM WITH TRANSMISSION *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED AS SHE WAS DRIVING, ALL OF A SUDDEN, IT FELT AS THOUGH THE BRAKES HAD BEEN SLAMMED ABRUPTLY AND SHE WENT FLYING FORWARD. WHEN THE CONSUMER ARRIVED HOME, SHE REALIZED THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO IN REVERSE. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, SHE DISCOVERED THERE WAS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR OF HER VEHICLE. UPON DIAGNOSIS, IT WAS DETERMINED THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. HONDA WAS WILLING TO PAY $2100 OF THE $4300 BILL. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC SIGNAL THE CONTACT REMOVED PRESSURE FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. THE CONTACT PLACED THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL WHILE APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL AND PARKED THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN TWICE. THE CONTACT COULD ALSO HEAR A GRINDING SOUND IN THE TRANSMISSION. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED AND STATED THEY COULD NOT PROVIDE ASSISTANCE BECAUSE THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS.

I PURCHASED MY 2001 HONDA ACCORD EX FROM A PRIVATE PARTY IN FEB OF 2011. AT THE END OF APRIL, I STARTED NOTICING GEAR SHIFTING PROBLEMS AND A WEEK LATER IT JUST GOT WORSE-THE D4 LIGHT WOULD FLASH CONTINUOUSLY AND THE CAR WOULD REV UP BUT WOULD NOT MOVE CAUSING ME TO ALMOST ENCOUNTER A FEW ACCIDENTS. WHEN I DID MY RESEARCH AND CONTACTED A MECHANIC, THEY TOLD ME THE REPAIRS WOULD BE BETWEEN $2,000 AND $3,000 WHICH I DO NOT HAVE!!! I HAVE BEEN FORCED TO PUT THE ONLY FORM OF TRANSPORTATION I HAVE TO THE SIDE UNTIL I CAN ATTEMPT TO GET THE MONEY TO REPAIR IT. *TR

CAR HAD REGULAR MAINTENANCE ON 4/11/11. ON 4/23/11 WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MERGE ONTO THE FREEWAY, THE ACCELERATOR BOGGED OUT AND I LOST POWER. I WAS SCARED I WAS GOING TO GET HIT BY THE CAR IN THE OTHER LANE... THEN THE CAR SEEMED TO RUN FINE UNTIL I ATTEMPTED TO PASS A CAR GOING UP A STEEP HILL AND THE CAR LOST POWER AGAIN, THEN IT SEEMED TO DRIVE FINE UNTIL THE FOLLOWING MONDAY ON THE WAY TAKING THE KIDS TO SCHOOL IT JUST STARTED FAILING WHILE NORMALLY DRIVING. TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION, THAT TC CLUTCH STUCK OFF. FLUID HAS CLUTCH RESIDUE AND IS BURNED VERY DARK , WILL NEED TRANS ASSY TO RECTIFY".WHEN 15 DAYS EARLIER IT WAS FINE ACCORDING TO THEIR RECORDS. NOTHING HAS BEE DONE THEY WANT $5000 TO FIX IT. HAVE LOOKED AT OTHER OPTIONS BUT HAVE DONE NOTHING YET. *TR

OUR 2002 HONDA ACCORD ONLY HAS 80000 MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN REGULARLY MAINTAINED AND HAS HAD THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY FAILED. WE HAVE BEEN QUOTED $2800 FOR THE REPAIR/REPLACEMENT. WE WERE ON VACATION IN LAS VEGAS WHEN IT HAPPENED AND BROKE DOWN IN A SCARY PART OF TOWN. WE HAD TO LEAVE IT AND NOW HAVE TO FLY BACK TO GET IT. WE FEEL VERY CHEATED--SHOULDN'T THERE BE AN ELEMENT OF SAFETY KNOWING YOU'RE IN A WELL MAINTAINED CAR WITH ONLY 80,000 MILES ON IT? *TR

I BOUGHT A USED 2003 ACCORD ONE MONTH AGO AND NOW THE TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED. THE CAR HAD 90600 MILES WHEN I BOUGHT IT AND THE HONDA DEALERSHIP SAID NOTHING ABOUT THIS MODEL YEAR HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I WAS DRIVING AT APPROX. 60MPH WHEN THE CAR SLAMMED TO ALMOST A DEAD STOP AND THE RPM NEEDLE JUMPED TO ABOUT 6000. I PULLED OVER AND SHUT OFF THE CAR. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MY MECHANIC AND HE SAID THAT THERE IS A SERIOUS MECHANICAL FAILURE IN THE TRANSMISSION. THE COST TO REPAIR IS GOING TO BE APPROX. $3500. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS SOLD "AS IS" AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO HELP. *TR
