I have transmission problem with my 2004 Honda Accord at 122,000 miles. That's unheard of! I've purchased 3 Hondas before this one & never a problem. The torque converter came apart on my transmission & I had to get it rebuilt. The bill was $2200. American Honda said sorry & they couldn't guarantee when a transmission will go out. Really? 122,000 miles? I will not purchase another Honda. I was on the interstate & could have been in a serious accident! all they can say is sorry. I have never been so upset before. To top it all off the dealership wanted to repair it for $4700 or trade my car in for $1000. By the way I wasn't able to get any type of reimbursement for my repair bill.
Transmission failure caused by torque converter problem.
The car began driving rough in city driving, gradually becoming worse. Now it shudders and rattles at 30-40 mph. Several trips to the dealer ultimately resulting in diagnosis of transmission/torque converter failure. Fortunately it didn't just cut out at a dangerous time. Replacement cost is nearly the value of the vehicle.
I have a 2004 Accord ex-l v6. I began hearing a strange noise from the transmission with a loss of motive power at speeds between 25 to 45 mph. . My Honda dealer said it had an internal fault and would replace transmission for $3800. I had a transmission repair shop repair transmission for $2900. The torque converter needed replacing. Car had 97k miles.
Driving 35 mph on vehicle with 115000 miles. Attempted to change lanes and speed up in order to pass slow moving vehicle, engine revved up to 6,000 rpm without actually changing gears or moving faster. Transmission pump & torque converter found to be falty.
My torque converter on my 2004 Accord is not working. This has caused the transmission to fail. My car was not accelerating while I was on the highway. The rpm would rev up but the car would not speed up.
The transmission failed while driving up the incline of an 8 lane bridge rending the car useless during heavy traffic. There was no emergency lane and cars were speeding by at 60 mph. If that's not dangerous and unsafe for everyone on the road, I don't what is. . ? luckily no one was hurt!! the car has been properly maintained. . I have been informed that this was due to a torque converter failing and that Honda or no governing agency is helping to make sure that the consumer is being helped with this very dangerous defect!!!!!!.
The contact owns a 2004 Honda Accord. The contact stated when starting the ignition, the check engine light illuminated on the warning panel. The vehicle would not shift into third gear and would not accelerate past 35-40 mph. The vehicle began abnormally jerking and would not increase speed. The vehicle was towed to his residence. An independent mechanic performed a diagnostic and produced failure code p0741 (torque converter). The contact located NHTSA campaign id number 04v176000: power train:automatic transmission, which he believed to be directly related to the failure. The manufacturer stated his VIN was not included in the recall and advised having the vehicle towed to the dealer for further inspection. The vehicle had not yet been repaired. The failure mileage and current mileages were 94,000.
My car is a new Honda Accord 2004. It has 62,000 miles, Honda is having a recall on 2004 Accords. I was told that my car is not on the list, but to my astonishment I have the same problem as the recall. My Honda dealer refused to help me with this problem. I was told that I have to pay $4,800. 00 for a new transmission. My car was serviced on Jan 4th 2008 and I was told everything was in perfect condition. I'm shocked and disappointed that a 3 year old car would need a new transmission. Please help me!.
