Purchased 99 Honda Accord v6 in 2007. One owner car. Im second owner. All maintenance done on schedule. On 5/29/11 transmission failed. I called Honda they said "we know about the situation and we're investigating the issue. We're not going to do anything about your transmission. I have taken good care of my Accord v6. The transmission should not have failed. I was stranded on the interstate with my four small children. Then had to pay $350 for the tow home. I am a loyal Honda owner. This is my fourth Honda. I have never had major mechanical issues with any of my Hondas. Honda admitted there is a known problem.

99 Honda Accord transmission failed. No warning from dash board. Can't speed up on the road.

Hi, I own a 1999 4 door automatic Honda Accord ex-ul, but the transmission literally failed on this car and is due to the fact of a defective part, which I found from reading various article on the website. The Honda is not accepting its problem. I have seen serial complaints out transmission failure on the website. Honda have extended warranty by recall on 2000-2001 Honda Accord models, by they haven't done for 1999 models. My personal view is that they are avoid a huge recall by hiding the problem. I would request you to investigate the matter as it may cause lots of accidents due to transmission failure in the of the freeway. Since Honda is protecting himself, we would need you help to check on the reality of bad transmission put in 1999 Hondas.

I can add another transmission failure from a Honda Accord 1999. This car has the same transmission as the recalled transmissions on Honda Accord from 2000 to 2002. My transmission seal leaked at 110,000 miles. I had the transmission rebuilt at 149,000 miles for $2100. Of course, the reason I bought a Honda was better engineering. I am beginning to think that I have a false perception of the Honda quality. This was my first Honda and I don't think at this time that my next car will be a Honda automatically. I have gotten unsold on them. Based on all of the other letters I saw on this same problem, and the fact these cars had lower mileage, I don't think I have a prayer on Honda kicking in something for the repair. Next time I buy a car I am starting with these letters on cars at this website first!!!! cars are quite expensive to have to settle for problems!.

The transmission in the Honda Accord vehicle years 1998-2003 are defective. The transmissions are failing at as early as 70,000 miles. My Accords transmission recently failed at an estimated 80,000-85,000 miles. Upon further investigation I discovered that Honda did/or will replace the transmission in only the 2000 and up Accords but will not acknowledge a problem in the 98 and 99 Honda Accord despite knowing that the same exact type of transmission was used in the 98 and 99 versions as well. There are numerous complaints concerning Honda's refusal to take responsibility and replace the transmission in 98 and 99 as well. Is their anything that we can do. I think it's unfair to spend over $2,600 to replace something that Honda knows is defective. Please let me know what actions I could take. Thanks.

I have a 1999 Honda Accord ex v-6 that I have taken to the service dept for maintenance by the book. Today I found out my transmission has failed and it will cost $4200 to repair.

I have had a transmission failure in my Honda Accord. When I took it to a mechanic in parkville, missouri, he checked the transmission fluid and found it black. He flushed the transmission, put new fluid in, and changed a filter behind the glove compartment. He told me that Honda from 98 to 2002 had transmission problems. He told me to drive the car for a few days and see if that didn't fix it. I could tell as I drove home that it was not fixed. The mechanic said that a new transmission would cost 1,600 to 1,800 dollars. Since I have had to get a new engine in my Accord or my lemon, three new batteries, and now a new transmission and it is not already paid for because I leased it and am in the process of buying it, I need all the help I can get.

I am asking free parts, free labor and free rental car. They came back with a reduced cost of $1200 dollars and no mention of the rental car.

I own a 1999 Honda Accord ex 2. 3 vtech. I started having transmission problems around 60000, when the car was cold transmission had trouble shifting gears, when the car gets hot transmission is ok. I went to the Honda dealer where my friend works as a mechanic and he told me that my transmission is failing and sooner or later it will need to be replaced, he also told me that there are hundreds of people coming to the dealer with the same problem, he also told me that Honda issued a recall on 2000 and 2001 Hondas Accord transmission but they did not issue the recall for 1998 and 1999. I've ended up selling my Accord and getting another 1999 Honda Accord lx 2. 3 vtech and few weeks ago I've noticed the same problem.
