Also has a problem with the fuel pump delivery of fuel via relay . May shut off while in motion and cause car to stop running. Changed relay and no other problems with relay. Approx. 130000 miles.

Car shifts really hard and rough out of first gear. Ive driven many many Accords from working at auctions, ive owned two in my entire life and they all have shift problems. I can’t believe this isn’t a campaign already????!!!!! these trannys are notorious for going out. Please if there’s some sort of bulletin or something I missed let me know lol! (wishful thinking).

The automatic transmission is failing. Yes it is available for inspection upon request. It is slipping and sometimes will accelerate extremely slow. Will also jolt forward aggressively at times. Making it dangerous and a safety issue. The transmission can go out soon and make the car stop moving. Putting me and everyone else at risk being stuck on the road.

Any automatic transmission recall.

On certain passenger vehicles,the interlock operation of the ignition switch may not function properly, making it possible to turn the ignition key to the "off" position and remove the key without shifting the transmission to park.

I have 117000 mile on Honda Accord 2001 (v4) and car is slow to accelerate at signal or stop sign. Took it to the dealer and they are recommending to replace transmission for $4600 because it's faulty.

Automatic transmission shifts hard going into second gear. Known problems with 2001 Honda v6 transmissions. American Honda ("ah") has admitted my car's transmission should have been fixed, but they did not send me the notice and now the warranty has passed. Many owners have experienced this problem and now we are stuck with transmissions that need to be replaced at $4500. My car is under 143,000 miles. Driving my car with this issue is a safety hazard and ah does not want to take ownership of this issue despite my various calls to them and they acknowledging it was a faulty transmission.

Hard shifting from 1st to 2nd gear. After doing research on the 2001 Honda Accord transmissions. I'm not the only one that has this problem. There are so many people that believe how great Honda vehicles are and it seems that Honda doesn't want to do anything about it. My sister inlaw was looking at a new 2016 Honda. I showed her all the problems that Honda had and she decided to buy something else. Shame on Honda for not taking care of there customers. You need to recall this transmission and do the right thing. We call this ( standing behind our products and customers ). Hope you do the right thing. . .

Car started shifting hard into first and second gears. Then my check engine light came on and the code: p0740 came up. I have researched this issue and have found that there was a lawsuit in CA regarding this and that it is a major issue for my generation Honda. I had my transmission fluids checked and the levels are fine, color is good, and it does not smell burnt. Before I pay for a hefty repair, I would like to know if Honda has, or will, taken any responsibility for repairs or replacement.

2001 Honda Accord. Consumer writes in regards to transmission problems. The consumer was quoted a price of $2400 for a re-built transmission from one dealer and $3,000 from another dealer for a brand new transmission.

The contact owns a 2001 Honda Accord. While driving 50 mph, the vehicle jerked and the acceleration decreased. The vehicle would not accelerate past 20 mph. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing, but the results were unavailable. The manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 212,000.

Nothing has happened. Yet. Around 5/22 my check engine light went on. On 5/29 I had my mechanic scan the computer. What came up is transmission issues. He told me that most likely it will need to be rebuilt or replaced. So far there are no behavioral symptoms, only the warning light and the computer reading. I will have to take the car in for an extended test before knowing the full extent of the damage. Meanwhile, I am driving a vehicle that could kill me or others at any time if the transmission seizes up in an inopportune setting and time.

Our 2001 Honda Accord experienced a failed trasmission at 180,000 miles. The car started shifting rough at 70,000 miles, and we reported the issue to the Honda dealer. They inspected and said that it was normal. We contacted Honda of America (1-800-999-1009) and they would not help us at all. With a bit of research we found out that According to a lot of reports on the internet have been aware of this issue, and have helped some owners pay for the costs of replacing or repairing the transmission. However, there is a liability and responsibility issue here and we, as well as every Honda owner should have been made aware that there vehicles may have transmission defects which could lead to technical and safety problems. Honda should have sent notices to Honda owners alerting them to take their vehicles to nearby dealerships to have them inspected. It is apparent that Honda was and is aware of this issue and by not issuing a recall or an alert, then they are avoiding liability and responsibility to correct their deficiency and are handling these issues on a cases by case basis, hoping that they can steer clear of a national recall. This problem is a clear result of Honda's negligence and attempts to conceal a matter for which they have knowedge of and for which that have already admitted to by assisting customers on a cases by case basis.

I really love my Honda Accords. I have owned several. This is the first one I have owned with over 125k miles. It was given to me by my mother-in-law. She owned it for about 7 years. It start to seem like it was a little off mechanically. She didn't know what the issues were and after 7 years she didn't want to put a ton of money into it. So she parked this one and bought a new one. It was parked for about 5 months before I started driving it. Since it was sitting for a while I did change the oil and make sure other fluids were topped off. Right away, I notice the transmission was shifting hard and slipping a little. So I pulled over and checked the granny fluid which was perfect! I just figured maybe it just needed to be driven a little and lube everything up again. I checked the fluid daily with no change to the level. A week later it's still the same. With no improvement I drained a little fluid out and added lucas as recommended by my Honda service tech. Still no improvement. I researched a little and found that this is common to start having issues around 150k miles. That's hardly any miles for a Honda! in further research I find that nearly every Honda for sale is being sold due to the start of granny problems and every one that's being parted out is being parted out because the granny went out. So no luck on a used granny swap! I am absolutely shocked that with the excellent reputation Honda has that this hasn't been a part of a recall! I mean come on Honda. . . I realize this is an expensive part to have recalled, but when your reputation goes down the toilet over the 6th gen Accord transmission. . . What will effect the companies worth more? the cost of this becoming a recall and replacing these transmissions or the decline in future sales due to not repairing the vehicles that people pay hard earned money for?!.

The transmission started making hard shifts . It has gotten to the point now that I am going to have to replace the transmission.

The contact owns a 2001 Honda Accord. The contact stated that the key was able to be removed without the gear shifter being in park. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The technician stated a lever located in the transmission would have to be replaced in order to prevent the failure from recurring. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.

I brought in my 2001 Honda Accord ex to my long-term Honda dealer (I'm the original owner of the auto), because I noticed that my transmission seemed to be acting up. They informed me that a new transmission needed to be installed (appx. $4800). I found myself in a predicament because the kbbv was only between $4000-$5500. I was not pleased that a Honda could need a new tranny with that low mileage (we moved to holland for four years and the car sat during the '01- present). But, I looked at my service records and noticed that Honda had already installed a 2nd transmission in 2003. What? this now means that this new one would be the third transmission in a car with 69,900 highway miles. ?!?!?! Honda America, along with my dealer, said there is nothing they can do as the time warranty has expired (7 years, 8 months they said they extended it to because there were so many complaints about this year's transmission. I explained, "okay, fine, then naturally we must take both transmissions that have failed and add the years=appx. 11. 6-12 years. Now, the mileage and the time should be covered. They must need an abbasid because my math did not compute with them. Why am I writing? I read online that there are thousands of these faulty cars on the road and last Saturday when we were stopped at a red light, it turned green, I pressed down on the pedal, and nothing; no movement. We were then, very lightly because the light had just changed, hit in the back. My 5 and 9 year old sons were in their car seats and were very frightened and upset. Honda America is aware of this faulty design and yet refuses to offer a honest and goodwill safety/service recall. What if the accident had been worse and my dealer had kept their knowledge of the possible accident to themselves just to make $5000? I believe each of my children would be worth more than $2500 apiece!.

The vehicle shifts hard from1st to 2nd and 2nd to 1st. The same problem that Honda settled out of court for in 2006 class action settlement. Reports are that Honda only pays 50-75% of repair costs. In this case the repair costs are roughtly 75% of the vehicles total value.

2001 Honda Accord transmission has internal problems. The car jerks when it shift to second gear.

The contact owns a 2001 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while parked, the vehicle lunged forward abnormally accompanied with a loud pop sound. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the main drive belt and the power steering pump were replaced. The dealer also advised the contact that the transmission would need to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that her vehicle was not covered under recall. The failure and current mileages were 145,000.

Tl-the contact owns a 2001 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while the ignition key was in the run position, it became disengaged without warning. The vehicle was taken to a mechanic where it was diagnosed that the interlock lever and the ignition needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 85,000. Ss.

On several occasions prior to August, 2010, I have parked the vehicle, exited the vehicle, locked the doors and returned from my errand, only to find that the vehicle had been left in gear. Nothing happened on the first several occasions but then in 2010, there was a recall on certain Hondas for the same problem I had experienced. The keys are not supposed to come out of the vehicle if it is left in gear. At the point of that recall, I contacted Honda (2010) but they told me my vehicle was not included in the recall, and if there ever was a recall on that issue, I would be notified. Fast forward to Thursday, December 6, when there was another occurrence, this time much more serious. I was in a parking lot, got out of my car, locked the car and started walking away. I then noticed the vehicle rolling forward towards the car in front of me. I got between my vehicle and the other vehicle and tried to stop it and was injured in the process (only bruises, though). The car hit the car in front of me. Now I see that there is a recall on some other Hondas for the same issue, but mine is still not included. This is a continuing problem and should be recognized by Honda, especially since it's obvious it's occurred in many other Hondas. I don't understand why they won't do anything about my vehicle and it is likely another incident will occur and one day, it may hit a child in a parking lot!.

There have been several recalls for different Honda vehicles with this problem: the mechanism that locks the key in the ignition while the vehicles are in gear can wear out. When that happens, drivers are able to remove keys without shifting into park. I can take the key out without the car being in park. There have been no injuries to date. I have been trying to make sure that I put the emergency brake on everytime I park my car. This has been happening with my car for several years, but it has never been included in a recall. I am not sure when it started or what the mileage of the car was when it started. I called Honda today when I saw the latest recall to see if they would fix my car or if I have to wait until someone gets hurt or dies and they say to contact you because they could not just include my car in the recall.

In 2006 Honda issued an extended warranty on the transmission due to the many complaints/failures. Shortly thereafter we started experiencing slipping/missing gears and took it to klein Honda in everett where we purchased it. They ran the diagnostic and told us that it wasn't bad enough to warrant a replacement. Since then it has slowly gotten worse to the point where it is becoming a safety issue because we never really know if it is going to catch and actually go or when it will just decide to stall. Now of course it is past the extended warranty and the dealer refuses to fix it.

I had transmission replaced at 60,000 miles 2 months after I purchased it. Paul moak pontiac in jackson, ms supposedly put a new transmission in the vehicle. I never really felt that it operated correctly. How could it if Honda made all these transmissions. Now 7 years later, October 2012, I have another code or automatic transaxle problem. Ridiculous. I just bought another used 2000 Honda Accord and I pray that I don't encounter this same issue.

At 65 to 70 miles an hour on straight interstate car began to steer irradically to right. No response to wheel correction, fish tailing, struck one side concrete wall and crossed road to left guard rail. Brakes tried at least twice without response and correction of wheel after first hit did not correct direction. Airbags deployed front and right side after first hit and perhaps only on second. No significant injuries. Total front damage. Serpentine belt seen hanging upon removal of car. Tie rods and cv joint boots intact, but transmission just replaced under warrantee and cv joints on order for wear perhaps related to transmission being "very sloppy" creating front end vibration in floor at 50 miles an hour to 60 relieved by putting gear into neutral. Feel steering failure perhaps related to serpentine belt failure.

Fuel tank gauge reads not full when tank is actually filled. Consumer took it dealer and had gauge replaced. Gauge was not grinding properly. Odometer was affected. After fuel gauge was replaced, it erased the correct mileage on odmeter.

The contact owns a 2001 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, there was a delay while shifting gears. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where it was diagnosed that the failure was due to the transmission. The contact was informed that the check engine light would remain illuminated until the repair was completed. The manufacturer was contacted but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was unknown.

2001 Honda Accord. Transmission problem might lead to loss in gears during high speed; especially when driving on the highway the consumer was informed his vehicle was not included in the warranty extension for the transmission.
