A loud sound came from transmission during acceleration, and the check engine came on, along with the d4 indicator started blinking. Transmission started slipping.
I bought the car to a person who said the car started the transmission problem years ago. The transmission slips when accelerating and decelerating and responds late from fist to second shift. I made a research and many people have this problem and I found on web this car had a bulletin but only till 100 miles and 7 years, which is not the clients fault and is unfair they gave limits to this type of problem. This is a safety problem and the fix should not be limited to a warranty.
Transmission was slipping when it shifted into 2nd gear for several weeks, then it just stopped. Now it will cost 3000 dollars. The car has only 69000 miles and never was abused. I was the only owner.
The transmission slips all the time when trying to move from a full stop the rpm's rev but no movement then it jerks.
Transmission started slipping then during the same local trip started jerking violently while in traffic. Once pulled over it was taken to a garage to get looked at. It was diagnosed with having a failed transmission.
Transmission slips and clunks when shifting from first to second gear. Srs light illuminated on dash. Side airbag light illuminates intermittently.
I own a 2001 Honda Accord which has been experiencing problems at 70,000 miles with the transmission slipping and not shifting smoothly. My research has indicated that this is a common problem but Honda has only recalled 2003-2004 Accords even though they have the same transmission. I am very dissatisfied with this reliability issue considering I bought the Accord for its reliability.
Transmission slips and won't easily shift into 2nd gear. This causes my car to stop accelerating and I'm afraid I will be rear-ended. Am bringing to Honda for repair, but want "goodwill repair" as this is the 3rd transmission for this vehicle. (2001 Honda Accord). There was a recall shortly after I purchased vehicle and the original transmission was replaced.
My 2001 Honda 6-cyl ex experiences transmission slipping between first and second gears, especially when driving approximately between 25-35 mph. Symptom is most frequent during a deceleration between second and first gears. Symptom first started at 80k miles and has gradually worsened (car now has ~120k miles). I was doing all regular Honda major services at Honda dealer, and they did not even find problem and engine safety measures. Honda mentioned that if go with all recommended services my engine life and faty will be increased. I spend lot of money on recommended regular services from Honda. Reported this to dealer and Honda national office; they did "replicate" the symptom. Honda?s response: due to the frequent nature of this problem Honda offered a transmission warranty to 100k miles. I was not informed by Honda of this warranty extension until I asked to check again 120 miles service. Honda said your only option is to buy a new Honda or a new transmission. I always thought if I give servicing at dealer they will check engine and defects properly but seems like there is no guarantee in that.
2001 Honda Accord ex, ~100k miles, transmission slips and makes noise when accelerate. Believe it's defect but Honda refused to pay for the repair. Honda dealer talked to me into paying $500+ for maintenance(but didn't reveal that 2001 Honda Accord has a common transmission defect). . . The problem came back in 14 months. . . Now I dare not to drive the car with a transmission problem. . My family will never buy Honda again!!.
The contact owns a 2001 Honda Accord. While driving, the tcs light illuminated and the drive light began to blink. While driving between 35-40 mph, the transmission slipped and the brakes failed. The vehicle has not been inspected by a mechanic. The VIN was unknown. The current and failure mileages were 163,000.
One year ago I purchased a 2001 Honda Accord at the time it had 106,000 miles on it. I hadn't had the car a week when I noticed the transmission was slipping. The problem has continually gotten worse. I checked online to see if they had any recalls etc. On this model and sure enough Honda said they would replace the transmissions up to 100,000 miles - so here I am a year later looking at $2,000 for a new transmission. In addition my passenger side air bag light continually comes on for now apparent reason, even if there is no one sitting in the seat. I also have problems with the window on the passenger side; the "part" that holds the window up somehow broke and to replace it costs over $200. And finally (well I hope) my brakes seem to have a mind of their own, at times they make funny noises, sometimes they feel like they aren't going to work. If seems as if its not one thing its another. Very frustrated. And now another recall.
My 2001 Honda 4-cyl ex repeatedly experiences transmission slipping between first and second gears, especially when decelerating and re-accelerating (e. G. , in stop and go traffic or when descending on a parking garage ramp and then reaccelerating once on the parking level. Symptoms can include a neutral idle followed by sudden lurch, to no traction and a racing of the motor while the vehicle "hunts" for transmission engagement somewhere between first and second gear before engaging. Symptom is most frequent during a deceleration between second and first gears. Symptom first started at ~80k miles and has gradually worsened (car now has ~116k miles). Honda's only response: you should buy a new Honda. I reported to dealer and Honda national office, but they could not "replicate" the symptom.

I reported this to dealer and Honda national office; they did "replicate" the symptom. It is my understanding that this transmission problem occurs with this transmission over time when the internal (non-serviceable) transmission filter starts to clog and starves 2nd gear of fluid due to rescued flow can not sufficiently lubricate 2nd gear because it is located higher up in the transmission casing compared to the other gears. Honda?s response: due to the frequent nature of this problem Honda offered a transmission warranty to 100k miles. I was not informed by Honda of this warranty extension until my car reached 118k miles. Honda said your only option is to buy a new Honda or a new transmission. I should note that the new transmission that would be placed in the car by the dealer is the same faulty design with the same filter clogging 2nd gear fluid starving issues. Honda or a new transmission.
The contact owns a 2001 Honda Accord. While driving approximately 25 mph on normal road conditions; the transmission began to slip without warning. The failure occurred intermittently. The contact received recall notice 03v423000 (electrical system:ignition:switch). The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer. The dealer charged $100. 00 for a diagnostic test which determined that there was a crack on the outside casing of the transmission. The technician refused to perform the recall remedy until the transmission was repaired. The contact had concerns of the safety risk involved. The failure and current mileages were unavailable.
1. Bought the 01 Honda Accord lx 4 cyl from duval Honda in jacksonville FL, with the transmission barely slipping. 2. The transmission slips for about 5 to 8 seconds between gears and knocks in and out of gear. 3. Nothing done to fix it. Tried changing the transmission fluid but that doesn't help. I heard that Honda of America will pay for the transmission but not the labor. Is this true?.

Honda Accord 2001 ex coupe (automatic transmission) I have a huge transmission problem in which the gears slip before catching. The result is an unexpected bang feeling and an abnormally fast acceleration time which for sure will cause an accident one day. (for something to compare by, its like putting gas until your rpms reach over 5000 in a standard car and then suddenly popping the clutch) the transmission also does not shift properly into gear, often times shifting extremely early causing me to have a feeling "like I plowed into someone and then suddenly was hit behind". I have taken the car to windward Honda and the people there including the shop foreman continues to say that the huge bang and abnormal shifting is normal. Within one day after I took the car in I almost ran into a parking structure pillar when the transmission did not catch until the engines rpms hit past 3000. There has been one injury involving a slight case of whiplash after the engine somehow revved up past 5000 and then caught. (the gas was pressed down and even after the gas was released the engine continued to rev up and when it hit around 5500 rpm the transmission caught making it feel like I got banged by another car going 15+ mph) nothing has been done to fix the problem because Honda claims that if they cant duplicate it on their test drive around the area, they will not replace or fix the problem (Honda is very poor at duplicating the conditions in which the failure happens) the failure happens in the following conditions: 1. When you are in heavy traffic requiring you to stop and go constantly 2. Entering short on ramps requiring the car to downshift 3. Anytime I slow down but don't come to a complete stop and then accelerate. *Honda was testing the car in highway conditions with no traffic incidents started from June of 2003 and is still ongoing today January 31, 2006 (the exact number of times this has occured is unknown, occurs mutiple times in daily traffic).
2001 Honda Accord, 95,000 miles. Transmission started slipping so much so it could have caused an accident. They checked and at first didn't find anything. Left the car for timing belt replacement and the next day they found the tranny problem. Since it's under the 100,000 mark, I'm covered. Thank goodness. The tranny I'm getting may be a rebuilt tranny and it seems the warranty on it may only be for 12,000 miles. I think that since Honda is having a problem with trannys that the coverage should be for at least 36,000 - 50,000 miles. I purchased a Honda thinking I would never have such issues. My next car will be a Honda now.
Gears started slipping on 2001 Accord ex around 80,000. I had fluid changed often and last changed at 105,000 and gears are still slipping. Car jerks really bad and 2nd gear changes harshly. I can't afford another car now but when I am able to get another car, it won't be a Honda. This 7th generation of Accords 1998-2002 are the worst. I'm not sure what Honda has done. I also hear that the 2003-2005 are experiencing the same transmission problems. Transmission has not failed as of yet but am sure it will and if me or my family is hurt, I hope Honda is ready for a serious law suit. Trust me when I say this!!.
The consumer states, when accelerating from stop, the gears slip between 2nd-3rd causing the vehicle to jerk.
