Transmission Slip Out Of Gear problems of the 2000 Honda Accord

I recently took my car to Honda with problems accelerating up a hill and sometime on flat land and they told me I needed a new transmission at a cost of $4300. I asked to speak with a service manager because I only take my car to Honda to be serviced and now all of a sunden I need a new transmission. Well the service manager told me the transmissions on the 2000 Honda Accord ex v6 were bad. This prompted me to go online and do research, and there were a whole lot of complaints. These complaints stated a lot of issues I had with my car when I first got it specifically I couldnt get my car to shift out of gear from park. My car broke down on me so much in the earlier years it was ridiculous. So I called Honda to no avail since I felt my issues were covered up when I had a warranty with them. They said they couldnt help me im at 116,000 miles and they extended the mileage to 109,000 on their transmissions. I would say that this is bad business for Honda. They should have done a recall. They sevice techs should have been more thorough.

Tl- the contact owns a 2000 Honda Accord. The contact stated that the vehicle would sporadically become stuck in second gear. When the vehicle independently shifted out of second gear, it would cause a violent jerking motion. The contact took the vehicle to a mechanic and was told that the transmission needed to be replaced. The contact stated that the failure would recur mostly in colder weather. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 148,000 and the current mileage was 168,000. Kmj.

I have a 2000 Honda Accord ex 4cyl 2. 3l 2 door. I purchased the vehicle used from duval Honda 1290 cassat Ave jacksonville florida 32205 (904-899-1900) in April of 2008. The car drove perfectly for about 30 days then the transmission started to slip while I was driving. Now the transmission jerks into every gear as it shifts and slips out of gear frequently while I am driving. Not knowing if a recall for this problem existed I have been shopping around for transmissions to find they cost between $1400 and $3000 to be replace to include labor. This is unacceptable because all stores are informing me the problem will return soon with this specific transmission. I have done several internet searches to find I am not thee only Honda owner with this issue and I am writing to inform you of my concerns with this vehicle also. The car was purchased with 68k miles or so and is now around 80k for miles. This are not normal areas of mileage where a transmission should be failing. I feel this unsafe and chronic problem should be fixed by Honda, either by a factory recall (100% paid for by Honda) or a total buy back of this vehicle since they have so blatantly and purposely sold defective and unsafe vehicles placing not only myself and my passengers but all drivers on the road in danger. If this problem continues I know that the transmission will cease to work and I may be responsible for causing a traffic accident and hurting someone because of this mechanical defect Honda has chosen to ignore. I am hoping this letter will help aide in a push to get Honda to rectify this problem.
