Hi purchased a used Honda Accord on Saturday everything ran fine for about 30 min the. When I got off the freeway I noticed to trans was starting to slip got home and looked under the car and there was trans fluid everywhere on the ground car had lost a good amount of atf. Just spent 4000 on a used car went to the dealer told me the trans was serviced there at 114,000 miles for a trans service 16,000 miles later in going in on a massive leak. Reading about this trans has me worried as I got a car with decent miles thought I'd get a lot more then 40 miles out of it it's at the dealership now awaiting diagnosis if they say its my trans I'm going after someone.

Vehicle was leaking transmission fluid. Dealer attempted to repair twice. The problem reoccurred and dealership replaced transmission. I expect more reliability out of an $18,000 dollar purchase. Both the dealership and manufacturer refused an extended warranty on the transmission. One year later I received extended warranty information for transmission on all 2001 Honda Accords. It turns out we were not the only ones who purchased a lemon. There are other complaints of this same sort on the NHTSA site.
