2 Transmission Noise problem

Failure Date: 04/24/2006

1999 Honda Accord v-6, 90k miles. In July, 2005. I started noticing a whistling sound when the engine was on and the abs and other dash lights would come on and off sporadically. During normal maintenance, I inquired about the noise and dash light problem. Nothing was found wrong. The dash lights have been coming on and off ever since. Today when the car was cranked, it made a louder than normal whistling sound. After driving if for 1/2 a mile the noise stopped. The next time I drove the car, it stopped accelerating and acted as though it was going to cut off. I parked it and attempted to crank it again but the battery was dead. After recharging the battery, it still could not accelerate. I had it towed to the Honda dealership. After inspection, I was told that the transmission would have to be replaced. After researching the internet, I realized that many others with 99 Accords have experienced the same problems. Considering this is the 3rd Honda I have purchased (the transmission had to be replaced on my 93 Honda also) it appears to be a problem that needs to be addressed.

3 Transmission Noise problem

Failure Date: 06/01/2005

I bought my 99 Honda Accord on June 28, 2003 for 16,000$ odometer readout 56,000 miles. I have since noticed noises and jerky like movements upon acceleration also when letting off the gas peddle when the car is trying to idol down. As if to be stuck or revving in the gear in which its leaving and ends with a jerk once it gets to the gear its changing to with a rev or jump especially if on a hill. Now at just over 130,000 miles and in the year 2008 the problem is worse and worse. The problem has been temp. Made better with flushing of the transmission fluid, and for whatever reason there is no changeable transmission fluid filter. I have been told by Honda that I need a new transmission. What! 130,000 miles and it already needs replacing, this is suppose to be a Honda,, Honda once meant reliability, biggest mileage ect. I have not as of today which is July 15, 2008, replaced my transmission, and im hoping that with a little prayer god will have mercy on me and my dumb car, because I cant afford a new transmission, and yes I am willing to bet that they have this part in stock even!! Hondas good to have those odd parts that break , lets you know that your not the only one with problems on those parts. They like to screw you once you drive up and tell you lots of things you do not need to do to your car just to take every dime you have to your name. I once saw a Honda outside the showroom where I bought my car,, it was on showcase for its mileage of over 600,000 miles! im thinking they didn't have tranny problems before they reached 200,000 miles!.
