Automatic Transmission problems of the 2000 Honda Accord - part 2

My Accord dies out on warm start ups when it is in cold weather conditions. I also called Honda USA and they told me that it was not suppose to no matter how cold it was. I brought it to Honda of sf twice already, but they couldn't duplicate the problem. A few of my friends have the same problems with their Accords.

I have a 2000 Honda Accord vtec v6. I take good care of it, and all of a sudden all the air bag systems have shutdown indicated by the srs light. Now I am starting to have electrical failures left and right. Majority of my warning llights on, my console which include battery, all doors, trunk, and brake light lights are on. The transmission is starting to slip. I don't know if I got a bad Honda from the batch, but just being 2 years old, it is experiencing some tough problems. I also have the extened Honda plan upto 100,000 miles/6 yrs. . But of course the plan does not cover any of my problems. I don't have money to waste on the car that is nearly new, and I still owe 23000 on. Please help.

I have bought this car new in 2000 and after 3 years of driving I noticed a slipping feeling as I accelerated. I was told by a mechanic that it was my transmission and he suggested doing a full flush. I have done several flushes over the last 5 years and my problem has only gotten worse. This problem is a mechanical malfunction and I feel that Honda should have done a recall years ago!.

Automatic transmissions problems still persist. Transmission has been replaced three times already. Each time there is a new occurrence of problems. For this latest transmission when driving in congested traffic areas where the transmission does not always go to the next gear, it will "lag" and fall back to the lower gear as if the brake was being applied very hard. Took the car to the service center and was told by the mechanic that the "transmission is shifting through all of its points normally". I indicated to them this is not the reason when I came to them. They ignored my reasons for coming to them and they then proceeded to claim that its normal for the transmission to "hang" and fall back due to "the computer getting confused as to what gear to go to". As a result its normal for the transmission to "lag" or "hang". I have never experienced this problem with the other two transmissions I had. . . . So, this is anything but normal !!!.

I bought my 2000 Honda Accord brand new. I noticed immediately it shifted rough but I kept it anyway. In 2003 at 84000 miles I was driving down the interstate and the car would not go over 30 mph, almost causing an accident on a busy day. I took it to the Honda dealer and they said I had too much transmission fluid in it. They cleaned the filter, and sent it back. It was still doing the same thing. I took it back and they made some adjustment, and it ran somewhat okay. Several months later it began to do it again. I took it somewhere else and they told me it was something else, and that the previous year there was an extended warranty issued on the car. I was 2-3 thousand miles over the extension at that point. I knew the transmission was bad the year before. The car would not run right after that. Dealer knows they were in the wrong and they were very rude with me. There has to be something I can do. I can't afford $4000. 00 for a new transmission right now. I am thinking of taking legal action.

The tranmission will shift gears very losely and makes a clunking sound but only when it is in reverse. Now it shifts slugishly. Took dealer to the dealer twice and they couldn't find anything wrong with it. Now they think it is the motor mounts. The first time this happened was in October of 2002. Dash board lighting goes blank. A faulty multiflex light unit was found. Front brakes worn. Check engine light was on. Found faulty egr valve assembly and replaced. Srs light is on. Faulty opds unit was found.

Automatic transmissions failed at low mileage. Owner has to replace it at the dealership. Great safety concerns here as it can fail at high speed. Dt.

Car was placed in park. Motor suddenly revved with loud clanking sound and vehicle shot forward and hit tree. After collision, transmission shifted into reverse.

The problem I have is the transmission leak(bleeding oil) this problem happens twice @ 22500 mi & 39929 mi. The first time happened the dealer added dye and told me to drive it for a week and bring ther car back for check up. They told me that the pressure hose is loose so they tightened it back that was find with me. But then @39929mi it happen again and I took it back to them at the dealer in diamond bar they told me that there is no leak because the oil fliud is at the full level. But when I asked him why is that there are lots of dirt build up around the transmission and it is still wet(oil mix with dirt). They could not give me an answer but just told me to drive the car back and wait to see if it still leak. This is so unprofessional. And all along I do feel that the transmission is not shifting as smooth as before. I know that there are a lot of Hondas owners that have transmmision problems as well. I hope that this could be resolve. Please let me know thanks.

Unreasonable failure of transmission occurred to 2 year old vehilcle with 38,000 miles. Honda would only pay for part replacement, not for associated labor and rental car.

The consumer started having problems with transmission in 2001. When the vehicle shifted to reverse it jerked abruptly. Problem became worse. Vehicle hesitated when in drive. This occurred every time the vehicle wa s driven. The vehicle will not shift smoothly from one gear to another. This became worse after the vehicle was driven for a while. Hesitation occurred while driving, even when the gears were not being changed. Dealer was never able to duplicate the problem. Therefore, no repair were done. Vehicle's owner noticed what she thought was transmission fluid in 2003. Dealer stated there was no problem with the transmission. Owner took vehicle to the service dealer several times ,and every time the dealer relied on the computer to find a problem. None was ever found.

Automobile shudders or misses at 1800 - 2200 rpm or 45 - 70 mph. The condition is getting worse. Honda will not fix it.

When placed in reverse and starting to back up transmission engages, disengages and then re-engages. Car makes a clunking sound and jerky movement.

This is Honda Accord v6, I have noticed a clunk when operating the vehicle in reverse. I have taken it to a local dealer and they say they cannot reproduce the problem. They informed me that there aren't any complaints or issuances on the bulletin boards of this problem. However, there are. I believe it is referred to as the 'reverse clunk' problem. This problem is not consisent every time I operate my car in reverse, but it happens about 90% of the time. The car is operated under normal driving conditions. This is a manufacturing defect that I want fixed. When you pay for quality that is what I expect to get. I will also be contacting the Honda corporation about this problem.

When coming to a stop sign or light and shifting in high gears vehicle returns back to a lower gear. Dealership is aware of problem.

2000 Honda Accord ex v6 has transmission problems. . . When car goes from 1st to 2nd it slips really bad. It is a safety hazard because when I'm behind someone and hit the gas it revs up and nothing happens and then it catches and the tires spin. I almost hit someone today with a child in the car. This needs to be fixed now!.

Ongoing problem with automatic transmission clunking during sudden stops. Vehicle been in dealer's shop on three occasions, and informed nothing could be found. Please feel free to provide any further details on this matter.

At first right light blewout; then, left side light went out. Consumer felt unsafe because there was a chance of being rear ended. Consumer while traveling on highway a motorist told him that consumer had no brake lights this was the second time in one year due to horn shortening out, first the left brake light and then the right one, also shifter will not come out of park unless the emergency release is used.

This is my second time filling out this report , I just want to clarify something. I receiveda new transmission when the car had only 1308 miles on it because the first transmission clunked everytime I backed up. The replacement transmission rides nowhere as nice as the first transmission in forward gears. I explained all the problems in the first report I submitted to you. Thanks.

Vehicle would roll back on a hill while in drive if foot was taken off brake pedal. Dealer said nothing was wrong with it.

This vehicle has an automatic transmission yet it rolls backward when in drive, especially while at a stop light on a hill it is like having stick shift.

Totally I am not satisfy with this Honda Accord/2dr/ v6. No safety defect listed.

Transmission when in reverse jolted, consumer stated that it felt like he backed into something or rolled over an object. Honda said they had about 300 complaints, only v6 engines. Consumer has been to dealer a few times with the complaint. Finally called Honda who admitted the defective problem. Vehicle had a defective airbag light.

When pulling out of a parking space transmission gear jumped into reverse, and then consumer hit another vehicle. Inadvertently air bags deployed. After the vehicle was inspected it was totaled. There were no injuries.

Transmission replaced.

After the consumer down shifted the gear, it felt as though the gear was in fourth gear. The vehicle went into reverse instead of forward.

When vehicle is put into reverse it accelerates. Dealer has to replace the transmission.

When backing out and putting vehicle into gear, vehicle grabbed but only when in reverse.

While driving in heavy traffic and accelerating vehicle hesitated which could have resulted in a collision, cause unknown. Dealer could not identify the cause of the problem. Please give any further details.

When the car is put in reverse there's a loud bang. Dt.

When in reverse, there is a bang after rolling for a few feet. It does not happen every time.

Car was taken to the moreno valley Honda and spreen Honda regarding transmission problems and we were told that the transmission was fine. My husband owns a transmission repair shop and had to tell spreen Honda what was wrong with the transmission. I finally called Honda's main office and it took them about a week to remedy the problem. Home office contacted the dealer and requested the transmission be replaced. Spreen Honda had the car for several weeks and did not offer rental car or reimbursement. Terrible customer service all around. My husband could have fixed the problem but the car was about 2 years old and under warranty when the problems started to occur. The brakes are constantly squeeking even after replacement. The material on the rear interior door handles has melted. Passenger seat belts are extremely tight. This 2000 Honda Accord se has been a total disappointment. Dt.

When placed in reverse and starting back loud thump from under the car and car jerks then continues back. At time there is another noise (quite) which sounds as if a 'worm gear' is winding up or down. Dealer has stated a tec bullentin is out and Honda is working on fix, however a call to America Honda's consumer affairs (1-800-999-1009) and no one seems to know about the porblem.

The vehicle rolls forward when in revese gear. Nlm.

Mechanical "clunk" when put in reverse. Sometimes accompanied by a nudge, like not fully engaged.
