Transmission Failure problems of the 2000 Honda Accord

Transmission failed on 2000 Honda Accord v-6 at 105,000 miles. Vehicle was in motion on a city street, right off highway exit, in an area with high traffic.

I was driving my Honda Accord on a residential street, when the transmission started to shift erratically. The d4 light started to flash and the 'check engine' light came on. The Honda dealership that serviced the vehicle told me that the transmission had failed. This from a car that I had purchased six weeks earlier. Luckily the incident happened on a vacant road and not a highway on-ramp where smooth shifting is a life or death scenario.

Transmission failed but car was far past the extended warranty that existed from the 2006 class action lawsuit covering this make/model vehicle. Dealership never informed the existence of a recall.

I am the original owner and bought my 2000 Honda Accord brand new from the same dealership that has done 99% of the maintenance on the vehicle, minus a few oil changes. The car has had a "hard" shift at times for approximately a year. I had never thought much about it until the last few weeks when the car started to rev up at low gears and then violently jerking to shift to higher gear. This in addition to also displaying check engine light constantly while green d or drive light is blinking. When this occurs the car will not accelerate when gas pedal is depressed for a few seconds and then will slowly begin to go. I was almost rear ended twice on my way home with my 7 year old son in his booster seat. The car would act like it was going to go and then I had no power, could not even get over to the curb. Closest dealership is 30 minutes away via interstate and after reading multiple online complaints and stories of near fatal accidents online I am at a loss as to how to handle this. Dealership told me it was okay to drive as long as engine light was steadily on. Luckily, I am in walking distance to my job, but I need to make a decision on how to proceed. It appears that Honda has known of the defective transmission, but I never received a letter in the mail alerting me to the fact I was facing possible total transmission failure that could have endangered not only myself, but my small son and those drivers around me. I have read that Honda will not offer any financial compensation for replacement of the defective transmission. I am going to continue to research the issue, but if this is accurate it is a shame as I have owned two Honda's and always bragged about how much I loved driving my Honda. Not thrilled about owning a vehicle made by a company who is aware of a serious safety hazard and does not do a better job of alerting their loyal customers.

Honda Accord transmission failed at 84000 miles. Never received letter form Honda motor corp to have it checked. Extended warranty for 109,000 miles to 2007. Never notified. Now paying 2100 out of pocket to change. Not to mention serious slipping issue while driving. Should have sent certified letter. Dangerous and expensive.

Transmission failed while in rush hour traffic. Almost caused a side collsion at intersection after d4 light came on and engine light.

In March of 2008, my 2000 Accord se Honda's transmission failed and had to be replaced at 122,206 miles; I had to pay for a rebuilt replacement transmission, today I was informed that I will need yet another transmission by Honda, that my car is not safe to drive until the repair is completed, and that the three-year or 36,000-mile warranty will only extend as far as the original warranty (that is roughly another 15,000 miles or until March 2012). The current transmission only functioned for less than 21000 miles. I do not understand why there has been no recall for this model's potentially catastrophic failure of a transmission. Even though I was not in an accident, I easily could have been as I have to commute 44 miles a day to work. Clearly, if the second identical failure happened in so short a time, there is a serious flaw---one with potentially lethal consequences that needs to be investigated.

The third transmission has failed on my Honda Accord. Honda replaced the first 2 with only a $200 charge on the second one. The failure mode is such that the car slips into a neutral like state without warning. This is very dangerous. Think about turning left, crossing oncoming traffic and you step on the gas, the car starts to move and goes into neutral. You are stuck in the oncoming traffic lane.

Transmission failed despite the car having the factory recommended service for the transmission being performed at 60k. At the time the car was making a left through an intersection. Upon investigating it was found the car was part of a class action due to transmission failure, but I was not eligible since the car was out of the extended warranty period.

2000 Honda Accord sedan with approximately 109000 miles (10900 miles per year) experienced transmission failure on highway at 65 mph caused sudden deacceleration. At that high speed, if failure continued a serious accident could occur. Fortunately, the transmission became operable again. 15 minutes later in heavy city traffic the transmission would not shift in lower gears making a tow necessary. Currently, the vehicle is at a service garage awaiting evaluation.

Multiple issues with Honda Accord 2000 ex v6 3. 0l. 96k miles as of 11/25/09 1. Srs light has been on and dealer is not fixing it saying it is not a safety issue 2. Transmission failed and I had to spend 2k fixing it 3. Egr clogged and check engine light is on. Dealer not fixing it saying it has been done before.

I have 2000 Honda Accord lx. On highway where there was only one lane and I had to over take a slow moving vehicle by moving to incoming traffic lane. Suddenly my car was not accelerating I had to immediately slam the breaks and move back to my lane to avoid the accident. Later I found that it was a transmission failure in my car. It seems to be known problem with Honda Accord and most of the people are getting it in 70k -100k miles range. It is causing safety hazard and these should be recall or fixed by Honda. My Honda has only 80k miles on it.

The contact owns a 2000 Honda Accord. While driving 40 mph, the engine light illuminated and the vehicle lurched backwards. The contact continued to drive and the vehicle went into reverse on its own. She slammed on her brakes and the vehicle failed. The dealer stated that it was ok to still drive the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and they stated that the transmission failed. The repair would cost $3,800. The manufacturer stated that the failure was very unpredictable, but Honda was aware of the issue. If the mileage on the vehicle was 109,000 or less, they could possibly repair the vehicle under warranty. The VIN was unavailable. The failure mileage was 123,000.

Honda had supposedly under a hidden warranty swapped out the automatic transmission in my car. After driving the car about the same amount of time before the transmission failed the first time,identical problem has recurred. I was driving on the freeway when all of a sudden d4 on the dash starts blinking and I could only drive to 3rd gear. When I turn the car off and restart its ok until I drive for a few minutes. Randomly the car will rev but the car won't go forward until it jerks violently and catches gear. Numerous occasions I was almost rear ended. I took it to the dealer but they are telling me they will not uphold the safety recall for this issue because my mileage was over. Technically after the first repair in the same amount mileage the transmission failed but they told me from the purchase of the car I am over the mileage.

2000 Honda Accord automatic transmission failure. Necessary to replace transmission with no help from Honda.

Abnormal downshifting of gears. Hardshifting gears between 1 and 2. Reported this issue to Honda dealer in year 2006 and they said its all okay and no issues. I experienced the same issue over the years. When I initially reported this issue in 2006 for my Accord was covered under Honda extended warranted for transmission recall, but the Honda dealer refused to acknowledge this issue. In year 2010, another Honda dealer diagnosed it as a transmission failure, when the car was out of warranty. I have gone to independent repair shops and they also confirm its a transmission issue due to internal mechanical issue. Honda customer service is denying the warranty coverage even though the first instance of report was done while the vehicle was in warranty period.

1. Early (2006) I took my car in for service because the check engine was on, the car would buckle when changing gears and it was having problems accelerating. The car would not accelerate and this would occur more often after a stop. I would find myself turning at an intersection, etc. And the car would partially stall. Honda in jersey city NJ rt 440 replaced the erg (?) value after I took it in for service. 2. Picked up the car after a 1 mile the check engine light returned and the car was giving me the same issue. 3. Honda replaced an additional part, the car appeared to be driving fine for a couple of weeks. 4. Dropped off the Honda for an oil change at and the buckling issue when changing gears to planet Honda on rt 22 in elizabeth NJ. The car was returned stating no problem. The issue was never resolved. 5. I problem in recent months had worsen, yesterday 10/9/06 the car started stalling I was able to get it to a mechanic. The problem identified new transmission required. Mechanic also identified the problem as being seen by him on other Honda v6 cars. I want to mentioned that my car was under an extended warranty while in the shop in jersey city an of course the parts replaced were not covered by the warranty, granted that transmission would have been. I have also found a list of people complaining about their v6 transmission failing around the 85k mileage just as mine. Below is one of the list of complaints I found with a simple search. .

The contact owns a 2000 Honda Accord. While driving 5 mph, the vehicle hesitated and then accelerated when shifted from first to second gear. When pulling out of a driveway, the vehicle stopped after 10-20 seconds. The vehicle was inspected and the mechanic stated that the driver's side axle shield failed. The mechanic stated that there was a 50/50 chance that the repair would correct the failure or a new transmission would be needed. The vehicle has had two transmission repairs, but the second transmission began displaying the same symptoms as the first one. The contact will need a new transmission. The check engine light illuminated during the first failure. The dealer stated that there was class action suit in 2006 that was settled. They also stated that the transmission failure would be repaired under warranty. However, the dealer is currently being uncooperative and will not assist. The vehicle has not yet been repaired. The failure and current mileages were 161,000.

The first failure was in 2003. While I was driving on the highway my transmission went out completely in traffic. I was able to get off the street before the car completely stopped. The repair was done in 2003 during a national recall. The car started showing signs of slipping in 2009 . I contacted Honda about the replacement transmission and they said it was out of warranty. The transmission completely failed in March, 2010. I was traveling at 55 mph when the car started to lose power. This is the second incident with this car where the transmission went out while I was driving this car.

Two separate transmission failures at 30,000 miles of wear while driving within 35-55 mph. Dealer contacted. Feel free to provide any further information.

Transmission failure. I have a 2000 Honda Accord that fell into the category of having a faulty transmission by Honda's own acknowledgement. Instead of offering a recall they offered an extended warranty to 109k. Well my car has a 130,000 miles. I am extremely upset that after being told this car should go 200,000 miles by the dealer that instead I have to replace a $3000 transmission. If Honda has known about their mistake then why is the consumer paying for it? after reading the other complaints I question whether the new transmission being put in will be even last. Please force them to offer a recall. Driving 20 mph on the highway once the transmission fails is a serious safety issue.
