Transmission Fluid Leaking problems of the 1999 Honda Accord

1. Transmission fluid started leaking on 99 Accord ex with >92100 miles. Eskridge Honda tightened boxton bolt. Leaking got worst. Took car back 2 days later. Eskridge stated a new transmission would be required because the inspection revealed that it was the same transmission problems experienced by other models -- 00-0 models where Honda USA provided an extended warranty to replace those transmissions. 2. From my research, other consumers have been experiencing similar transmission problems on their 99 Hondas, but there's been no recalls. 3. Since I view it as a safety issue, I plan to pay if necessary to replace it, since I don't want my 16-yr son driving an unsafe vehicle. 4. Is nhsta aware of this problem on the 99 Hondas? if so, what's the status of your actions in getting Honda USA to extend the warranty for 99 Hondas.

Started seeing transmission fluid on lt side under vehicle. Had seal replaced by local trans ship. Two weeks later fluid leaking again. Researched and found recall on 2000 and up for bad bearing causing this exact problem and Honda's extended warranty on those vehicles. Took vehicle to rt. 23 Honda and they advised that even though this was the same problem the only item that the Honda field service manager would only allow the part only. I would have to pay the $1000 labor. I requested the field manager's name but brad morder (service writer at rt. 23 Honda) refused to give it to me. I lodged a complaint with Honda (case #12006-04-250-0809)that was handled by chris martinez of Honda (x-118183) who stated that he did not want to discuss the particulars and that he had no authority to change the decision of the field manager. Again, when I asked for the name of the field manager mr. Martinez would not give it to me. When I asked him for his superior's name so that I could escalate this matter, he advised that his decision was final and there was no other recourse I could take. Any help you could furnish would be appreciated. C. O. Heine.

Transmission failed at 40,000 miles, however it was under warranty so they fixed it at a cost of roughly $6000. Now at 82,000 miles, the fluid is leaking and they are advising me to pay for a replacement for about $4000. Honda is using there good name to sell a defective product and the 98-99 v6 Accords need to be recalled along with the 2000-2001.

1999 Honda Accord ex v6 auto transmission failure. Began upon return from 100k service by Honda dealership. Erratic shifting/slipping occurs. Upon further inspection, fluid leaks at various points of the under chassis. My Accord has only been serviced by a Honda service dept. Was informed by tech that a "faulty" carrier bearing was noted. A "refurb" tranny install was reccommended ($3000) instead of replacing the faulty bearing.

I purchased my 1999 Honda Accord ex-vl 3. 0l v6. . . May 1999. There has been a slight jerk when the transmission shifted gears from day one. Honda says this is normal. Well several months ago it started to get worse and the transmission started leaking fluid at the left cv boot. I took it into the Honda dealer and I was told that there is a roller bearing that is wearing out prematurely causing a slight vibration that causes the seal to leak. They said I needed a new transmission and it would cost $5,500 ++ to replace because it was no longer under warranty. (3 years or 30k miles) I have owned a Honda for 17 years. I have a 1986 with over 250,000 miles and still going strong. I purchased this 1999 based on the Hondas past history of quality. This may be the end of Honda ownership for me if they don't replace this defective transmission. I have searched the internet and was overwhelmed at so many 1999 Honda Accords that have the same problem. I think Honda should replace all of their defective transmission and save there good name. Honda should extend the 1999 Honda Accord warranty to 7 years or100k to cover there defective product!hey did extended the 2000-2001. . . But not the 1999 ??? why. . . It's the very same transmission!.
