Our automatic transmission began acting up by "lurching" when we came to a rolling stop. We had the car checked by our two regular mechanics and they suggested we take it back to ellena Honda here in lawrence where it was purchased since it was still under warranty. Honda checked it and said they would replace the transmission. This is to be done next Monday. I am very disappointed since I thought Honda was a brand that could be trusted.
2001 Honda Accord v6 transmission, replaced twice - with only 59,000 miles on the car. I want Honda to compensate me with a new vehicle. This is just absurd - they keep re-installing defective transmissions. Total cost is roughly around $12,000 - that's what I owe left on my loan.
Transmission would not upshift, engine light came on and d3 light start blinking. Car would not shift properly, would jolt instead of smooth shift and then would only accelerate very very slowly. Also would backup while stopped and gear in drive.
On 4/4/03 a loud thud came from the transmission and the check engine light came on and the d4 on the shift indicator started to blink. I shut off the car and restarted. The shift indicator stopped blinking but the car would shift very hard. I took it to Honda and they warranted the transmission because the car only had 65000 miles they also gave me a rental. I would like to know if the root cause of this problem has been fixed or will I have this problem again at 120000 miles?.
Vehicle's automatic transmission will either jerk into or out of second gear. Cause unknown.
Faulty transmission. Please provide further information.
The automatic transmission failed while the consumer was driving. The dealer suggested that they would have to replace the transmission. Ts also, the wheel bearing(s) failed. Scc.
Automatic transmission occasionally shifts violently (so violent that I at first assumed that the ignition had been turned off - I was doing up to 65 mph when this occurred). Problem is very intermittent - so the dealer has not been able to duplicate. I consider it a definite safety issue since I could easily be rear ended or lose control on snow or ice. Has happened 5 or 6 times since after delivery - every time on a slight down slope. Additionally the car often 'searches' - up and down shifts on downgrades but most often these are what I would call poor quality shifting- which I'm told by the dealer is a known short fall.
Transmission jerks from start to 1st shift upon morning starting, (cold). Also leaking.
2001 Honda Accord v6, it jerks when shifting from park to drive. When the vehicle is park the engine accelerates on its own without having to press on the gas. When driving the vehicle it jerks making it unsafe to drive. Also when trying to make a stop at a stop light or stop sign.
While @ incline in drive the car quickly rolls back as if in neutral and does not stop unless you brake. I have taken the car to the Honda dealer and they compared it to another on the lot. They said the one on the lot did the same thing so they determined it must be a characteristic of the vehicle. The tech said because it is a 4 cylinder it doesn't have enough torche to hold the weight. I also called american Honda at an 800 number provided on their website and per roxanna this is a characteristic of the car.
My 2001 Honda Accord ex 4cyl (199k miles) began driving very badly - suddenly decelerating while driving (at any speed). The Honda dealer diagnosed that the transmission needed replacing at a cost of $3500.
No description given. Nlm.
My 2001 Accord has had a problem with the accelerator sticking since it was new. While it hasn't yet stuck open it does stick everday. It seems worse when it is first cranked in the morning, however, letting it warm up has not effect. This is especially dangerous in parking garages and lots. I have had this auto to apple tree Honda on at least six occasions and they tell me they can't duplicate the problem. I have left it overnight for them to service the next day and they insist it doesn't do this with them. I have complained to them on at least 6 occasions and paid for three fuel injection cleanings. The accelerator still sticks. I understand from doing internet research that this is a common problem with my year automobile, yet Honda obviously doesn't want to address the issue. In addition, my transmission is getting worse day by day. It now doesn't engage properly especially after driving, stopping and taking off again on a grade. While this car has a grade logic sensor the sensor apparently doesn't do it's job because I live in the mountains and it never engages. Apple tree also tells me that they just can't seem to duplicate any transmission problem. I am aware that there is an extended warranty due to a recall but apple tree has never mentioned any repair to me. In addition, from internet research, when you take your Accord for this warranty repair they use a "used" transmission under the excuse that it will take to long to get a new one. I have written a detailed letter to american Honda to see if they will assist me, other than another trip to apple tree, whose service is substandard and has been for years. When I owned my first Accord I drove over an hour for service to another state because apple tree actually damaged by car during service, left me sitting three hours durning a 10 minute oil change because they couldn't "forgot" I was waiting, etc. This is my second Accord but definitely my last unless Honda deals with the issues.
Consumer states dealer diagnosed a transmission problem and was informed that no transmissions were available for one month, was also informed that he was fourth in line for a transmission.
The first symptom was rough idling where the car has actually died several times. It has been into the dealer repeatedly since Feb of 2002. They kept it for over a month one time to replace the transmission, but the same problem occurred, even when leaving the dealership. They had it in again in June & the problem is growing more intermittent, but I still think it is a flaw and possibly dangerous. Nlm.
Transmission was just replaced with a re-built. In shop 9/4 through 9/7/02. I complained multiple times, starting 2nd day of ownership about "sluggish response". Pacific Honda said it's a new car, give it time to limber-up. What a joke. Independent Honda mechanic identified auto-trans problem. I requested new car - Honda refused. I paid for a new car, and continue to make auto-payments for a new car, but have never enjoyed the performance or reliability of a new car. I requested that pacific Honda save my old part (transmission) - they refused. I understood a new transmission would be installed - they told me when I picked it up that a re-built transm. Had been installed. Now, after a couple of days w/rebuilt, I sense engine jerkiness when driving vehicle. Please help!.
Consumer complained about a seat bottom frame. The frame was replaced 2 times in the past 10,000 miles. When vehicle accelerated the seats moved back. However, dealer indicated play in the seat was normal activity. Driver seat rocked back and forth when consumer tries to accelerate or stop. In addition, transmission clunks when shifting from drive to park. Dealer said it shifts normal.
Honda is sending letters to owners of two models of Accord, prelude, and several other models due to a defect in the carrier bearing. They are replacing transmissions. They are willing to assume cost for those already done or to be done. However they are not issuing a recall. Dt.
