4 Automatic Transmission problem

Failure Date: 03/12/2011

Bought this Accord for my 16 year old daughter because is was a safe reliable car to start with. It was impeccably maintained by the dealer. She told me that the car was starting to "jerk" when driving it. I confirmed it was "jerking". I went online and found that Honda has had significant transmission problems with this model and several. Now I'm looking at a significant repair or probably replacement of the transmission. I contacted the dealer and they told me it will require a new transmission without even looking at it.

8 Automatic Transmission problem

Failure Date: 07/20/2010

I am the original owner of a 2000 Honda Accord and have had to replace the transmission for the 4th time. First time @ 60,000 miles, than 80,000 miles, than 140,000 miles. Honda sucks. . . All they tell me now is it's out of warranty. Obviously the 2000 Accords have major transmission issues.

9 Automatic Transmission problem

Failure Date: 07/15/2010

I'd drive down the freeway or up a hill to get to a parking structure at school and the car would stall and slip gears where I thought it would roll backwards or people behind me would get annoyed and pass at relatively close and high speeds. I was on my way home from work one night when the transmission completely went out on me roughly 2 blocks away from my house. I barely could make it over 10 mph and had my car sit in the parking lot for 6 months. My brother has put in a new battery and suggested I put new transmission fluid in, but the fluid is full and the car still slips. I knew it was a transmission problem which is more complicated since I know that's a lot more pricey than what I can afford right now, and all I want is for my car to be in working order again since this car should last a lot longer since it's been taken care of.

19 Automatic Transmission problem

Failure Date: 09/11/2008

My 2000 Honda Accord is showing transmission problem (p0740, p0730) with 123k. I have seen a recall page with warranty extension for 100k or 7 years so I didn't qualify for both. The warranty clearly tells there may be a material or workmanship issue. Honda is washing their hands and asking me to pay 2200$ for repair. Why should I be responsible for their mistakes?and I first felt this transmission issue in the middle of a crowded highway(during the evacuation of hurricane ike) and luckily saved from a big accident,. I had 4 people and a kid in my car. This is surely a matter of safety. I could see a lot of Honda transmission issue after the incident in web. Please take appropriate action to take these vehicles out of the road as it may cause big accidents and Honda to replace all faulty parts.

21 Automatic Transmission problem

Failure Date: 05/10/2008

Around may 10, 2008 while driving my d3 indicator started flashing on the instrument panel. When I took the car to the dealer they ran some test and said that they found a p0780 shift malfunction and a p0303, p0305, p0306 egr valve codes. Both of these codes are problems that Honda knows about. I have received warranty extension for both but the egr problem only good for 80,000 miles and the trans warranty is good for 100. 000 miles. Instead of give out extended warranty they should have paid for these problems to be fixed. The egr problem has coasted me 336. 10 and the trans is going to cost 2467. 38. I have a 2000 Honda Accord ex. I think that there should be a recall for both problems. Please check into these problems. Thank you.

23 Automatic Transmission problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2008

The same year, make & model lke my car had been recalled a few years back. This yr 2008 my car had barely reached over 100,000 miles and I started noticing my car making a sound and the car jumping slightly at times when I would accelerate. I did my tune up as soon as possible and chevron mechanics said that my transmission had a leak in between and the motor. They informed me about the recall and to check with the manufacturer to fix the problem. So I did and they gave me a so called extension to 109,000 when I brought it to them at about 108,000 miles. They kept my car for about a week and told me they changed the transmission oil and ran tests on it and found no leaks or anything wrong with the transmission. I thought maybe when they did the transmission oil change it miraculously fixed the problem but a few days later I had the same problems with my car and I have been checking my transmission and motor oil every 3 to 5 days and refilling both cause it seams both are leaking. I feel that the manufacturer didn't put the time or effort to check what was the problem with the transmission cause they would have found that it is in fact leaking oil. I wonder if they even checked my car or didn't want to take the expenses if it indeed fall under the recall. I don't know what to do. Please help me and inform me about what I can do to get more information on investigating if it is a recall at all. I strongly feel that I haven't caused my car any damages or neglects that would make me at fault for the problem with my vehicle. I always kept my car up to date with oil changes, tune ups, etc.

24 Automatic Transmission problem

Failure Date: 11/12/2007

I bought my Honda Accord this September. It had a rebuilt title due to minor dents and blemishes to the outside. No major wrecks. Looked and seemed in good condition. Dealer assured me that all of his cars were insurance claims due to minor exterior wear. He didn't take any cars that had been involved in wrecks. He was an "engineer" and didn't need to screw people over for money. I had my mechanic inspect it right away because it had a 30 day return policy, no questions asked. My regular mechanic said the engine was fine but there were minor things I needed such as; new rotors, new tires, and something to do with the emergency brake. His secretary said these were all optional things to have fixed. 1 month later. . . The radiator goes bad and must be replaced. My regular mechanic charges me $600. 00 dollars for the procedure. I compare prices and find a better price for the same radiator. Unfortunately, my regular mechanic still charges me $70. 00 for his opinion. I go to the cheaper place, get a new radiator and have my rotors replaced. Since about 2 weeks after owning the car I notice that the srs airbag light flashes on and off randomly. A $80. 00 diagnostic check was performed and nothing showed up. My mechanic didn't notice it when he drove it. I still don't know if my airbags work! a month after that. . Transmission goes bad when in reverse. Makes a terrible grinding of metal sound and lurches when put in reverse. Probably needs a new transmission which I have no way to pay for. Luckily, it is only a problem during the cold and/or when I first start the engine. Im very worried about the safety of my car and myself! because I've had 3 different people assure me the car is in good shape, only to find out about or have a major problem occur. I don't feel safe in my mystery car! I bought a Honda after being a loyal Toyota customer because I thought they had the best reputation for long lasting vehicles. I'm thinking I made a mistake. Please help lessen my worries.

27 Automatic Transmission problem

Failure Date: 06/01/2006

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.

28 Automatic Transmission problem

Failure Date: 12/08/2005

At 84,366 miles my car's check engine light came on. Took Accord to mechanic and was told the egr valve error code appeared. The mechanic said to take to Honda due to recall for this part. Picked car up from mechanic and car also had srs light on. Researched online since I already have recall for dash light. Found many other Honda owners with same srs light. Found out my air bags will not function if sensor illuminated. Also, called Honda and they said I was beyond the mileage (80k) for the extended warranty on the defective egr valve replacement. Asked what Honda was doing about the front airbags and was told no decision has been made. I have also discovered my car has the extended warranty for defective/faulty transmission. So when I'm driving down the highway my tranmsmission may give out at high rate of speed and if collsion occurs, my air bags will not deploy. My seat weld joint broke at 54k too! I used a 99 Toyota 4runner as replacement vehicle and discovered the seatbelt warning light came on when my 40lb. Dog sat in passenger front seat. My Accord never has detected my dog in the front seat ever! this car is riddled with safety defects and poor manufacturing. Honda should be held responsible for protecting the owners from injury including monetary repairs/ replacement costs for all of these safety defects and engine defects.
