I'm the original owner. The automatic transmission at 95,000 miles began making a whining noise when going up grade. It is now at 99,000 miles and the noise is heard at all speeds. The local Honda dealership has inspected the car and said the transmission needs to be replaced as it may fail at any time. I immediately contacted american Honda customer service and they said the Accord is no longer covered by the extended warranty so they will not cover any portion of the replacement. I strongly believe the transmission was build with defective materials or workmanship at time of manufacturing. I did not have the transmission replaced because I have no confidence in a rebuilt transmission. I will most likely salvage the car.

While accelerating from a stop the accelerator pedal became stuck intermittently. The consumer was able to decelerate the vehicle. Dealership repaired the iac valve. Both rear seat belt became stuck. The transmission was very noisy. Both front wheel bearing were replaced because they were making noise.

I have Honda Accord 2001. It is only 3 years old and 70,000 high way miles, but I got the transmission problem recently. 1. Transmission oil leak 2. Grinding noise 3. Not smoothly, I can feel the slipping I already spent sevral hundred bucks, but the problem still there. I was suggested to replace a new transmisson. I cann't accept it, since it is only 3 years old, and 70,000 high way miles. I think Honda company should be responsible for it.

Bought the car new in 2001 from john eagle Honda clear lake. The first transmission gave out at 37400 miles due to a defective transmission. Car transmission suddenly started making noise and slipping between gears. Honda placed vehicle on their computer and received an error message. We were told a new transmission was only solution. The same error message came up on the "new" transmission. We were told to try Honda customer service for assistance, which told us the solution, was totally up to the dealership. We waited for over two weeks for [xxx]to call; I had to call him again today to get his reply. The clear lake Honda dealership that we have been going to since 1997 says their "hands are tied". [xxx] the service manager states he talked to vernon sage, district manager, and states they have no transmissions to correct another defected transmission but they can sell me a new one??!! this is an issue of safety not just cost and it is absolutely unacceptable that Honda cannot honor their mistake. If this transmission would go out while on a highway there could be a real tragedy. They knowingly replaced transmissions with the same defect. This car is driven 90 percent on the highway and wells maintained w/the same Honda dealer. There is no reason that this car should need two transmissions within only 112000 miles. The dealer passes the problem to Honda customer service, which in turn hands the problem back over to the dealer. It should be a crime to know of a failure that could cause a major tragedy and not honor or accept your mistake and make it right. This is an issue caused 100% by a known defective transmission that Honda and the dealership are completely aware of. There are entirely too many other Honda owners with the exact same problem with the second transmission. There is not any "goodwill" from Honda by putting in the same defect.

The transmission made a loud noise.

This model Honda makes a loud noise, coming from the underneath the car, when first started cold. The sound is more like a "thump" and is supspected (although I'm not certain) to be either the transmission or the exhaust system. I tried several different cars and the noise was consistent. The dealer tells me the noise is "normal" which is absurd. Honda has a recall pending on earlier model cars for an exhaust syustem problem--I'm wondering if this could be related. I am not an expert so do not know if this is a serious matter or not.
