@120000 the transmission in our 2004 Honda Accord went out with no warning at all. If the traffic was not light at the time someone could have been hurt. Honda did not tell us of a transmission problem. We replaced the trans. And 50000 miles later the 2nd trans. Went out. (same problem). Honda knows they have a transmission problem,but want step up and make it right.
My car is Accord 2004 ex - 4 cylinder - approx 86k miles - manual transmission. My car started jerking about a month ago when I switch gear to 4th and 5th gear. I brought it to my mechanic who said that it is a transmission problem. I thought he was joking because I thought it was a fuel injection issue. . Read more...
I owned a 2004 Honda Accord 2 door coupe. I filed for lemon law because american Honda refused to fix a major transmission oil leak in the car. I have won the lemon law case, but when I found out that american Honda was not going to recall all the cars with that transmission, I felt like I had to do something. The problem is due to a low vent valve on the six speed manual transmission. The manual transmission only holds 2 quarts of oil. I purchased the car in 9/2004. From 9/2004 to 9/2005, I witnessed well over a quart of oil spill out and onto the bottom of the transmission and engine. I have a detailed outline that I can e-mail you on request outlining all of the visits to the dealership and the outcome of each visit. The location where this oil comes out, is also where the clutch is located. I had noticed clutch slippage soon after buying the car. I am assuming the clutch was slipping due to the oil soaking the clutch plate and disk. I would like to see a full recall done on all of these transmissions. American Honda admitted that they have modified the 2005 transmission to resolve this issue, but will not recall the old transmission.
