Automatic Transmission Torque Converter problems of the 2000 Honda Accord

I currently own a 2000 Honda Accord ex v4. While driving my son to school last week Friday, the check engine light came on and the d4 light also began to blink. My car immediately lost all power and while pressing on the accelerator the car would not move. With other cars behind me this could have easily caused a huge accident with my son in the car. After taking my car to the repair shop, I was told that my transmission needed to be rebuilt and this could cost up to $3000. I went to another shop for a second opinion and they changed the solenoids. After a week of driving fine, the same incident occurred again while bringing my son to school. Currently the car is back in the shop to have the torque converter changed or to possibly have the transmission rebuilt. While searching online, I have noticed that this is an ongoing problem with early 2000 Honda Accords and all that has been done is an extension on this warranty which does me no good since I am past it. Anything done to rectify this problem would be a big help especially considering that it would have been a huge safety issue had I been driving on the highway at 70 miles an hour in moving traffic.

Aamco reports defect in torque converter and vehicle slips into gears in cold driving sticks to second gear even stopped. Dealer never replaced tans fluids. During maintenance schedules.

I have a 2000 Honda Accord lx sedan with a little over 75,000 miles on it. Saturday may 4th of this year on my way from mesquite to arlington my car just failed to move. Engine was running but the car wouldn't pick a gear to move on, luckily a gentleman behind me helped push the car off to the shoulder. I was stranded on the side of interstate 35 and had to request aaa come tow my car to the dealership lute riley in richardson. The dealership was closed sat by the time I got there so Monday morning when I went in I had researched and discovered this was a known defect in the sixth generation Accords. But I was informed at midday by my service advisor shawn that I needed to pay to have my solenoids replaced since thats what the technician reports as the problem so me being a college student and heavily reliant on my transportation especially during finals week paid for it. Sure enough couple of days later same issue where the car dies again in my school parking lot and I had it towed once again by aaa over to lute riley. This time when I went in on Thursday may 6th they sang a different tune that my transmission had failed and that it was covered under an extended warranty by Honda so they will replace it for free but will need to keep it for a week while they order one. Now my issue is returning the $350 plus that I spent on repairing solenoids that weren't in need of being replaced. I will be reporting this to Honda's corporate hq like so many other Honda owners have already done. Please do what you can to help save other people this headache and possible endangerment of life when a vehicle fails on our highways! additionally I request that you include Honda's recall\extension of warranty on all 2000-2001 Accords, oddesseys, and preludes in your "safety recall" search engine (this is open information on Honda's homepage but it would be nice to have it available in as many places possible).

Honda replaced the converter and transmission, but the car still vibrates sometimes on the level but most of the time when going up hill. I am almost ready to trade the car in for a different make. The local mechanics cant seem to be able to help.
