Differential Unit problems of the 2001 Honda Accord

Transmission failure. The differential assembly was rebuilt I paid $1,377. 00 for it at cottman transmission of erie, PA. After that the transmission never shifted the same and later on a horrible noise start to sound when put in reverse. Cottman transmission said that's normal on this car. They kept my car for 13 days inthe month of June 2007. Finally, they decided to put the reverse selector gear on this trasmition thus ending up with same noise when as previous when you put the car in reverse. I took it to the dealer they said the transmission is bad, they replaced the transmission now it is running well but when you put it in reverse it still makes the same bad noise, like a clunk kind of noise. I am not talking about a little click sound, it is a bad sound, really loud. The dealer say that's normal on this car and I told the manager you are crazy. They don't want to do anything else they already made there money, now work begins. But they don't want to do anything else. So I got a car with a rebuilt transmissions with no warranty because According to them if the extended warranty pays for it, there is not warranty. Beautiful, well done Honda. Last car I buy from Honda.

The contact owns a 2001 Honda Accord. While stopped, the contact applied the accelerator pedal but the vehicle would not accelerate. The vehicle was inspected by an independent mechanic. The mechanic stated to the contact that the transmission would have to be replaced due to a failure in the differential bearing. The transmission was previously replaced twice by a dealer under a manufacturer's recall. The vehicle was repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 25,000.

During a trip, the car began to have a rumble in the drivetrain. Expecially at a bout 40-45 mph. Took car to dealer and they told us that the differential was faulty and they needed to replace the transmission. They would only replace with a factory rebuilt, not new. No extension on warranty. This was the second one they had in a month. Transmissions had been on back order which sounds like they had more with problems.

Vehicle was leaking transmission fluid initially. Took it to dealership. First time dealership sent us home with a really bad transmission leak for weekend. Informed us not to drive more than 200 miles. We informed them we live 60 miles away and would need to get home and back to dealership on Monday. No rental car was offered. When taken back to dealer for repairs they replaced differential. Two weeks later we noticed leaking again and the car wa shifting funny. We took the car in for repairs. They replaced the transmission. We approached both the manufacturer and the dealership about an extended warranty on the transmission, both refused. About a year later I received a letter in the mail regarding a warranty extension for the transmission for all 2001 Honda Accords. Apparently I was not the only consumer who was sold a lemon.
