Our 2004 Honda Accord sedan v6 - automatic transmission failure. 195,000 miles the primary purpose of this correspondence is to register a serious safety issue that occurred to my wife and I on March 20 ⸠2011, at 3:30 pm. While driving at approximately 65 mph, my 2004 Honda Accord had a transmission failure and lockup. While my wife and I were traveling north on 95 north the car suddenly made a click noise and jerked as if someone had jammed on the brakes and the rpm’s raced. My husband attempted to slow down by taking his foot off the gas pedal and not touch the brake. The car violently jerked again as it slowed down. As he attempted to get onto the shoulder of the road, the car violently lurched 4-5 more times. With each of these sudden, unexpected jerks, we were thrown forward. Thankfully, our seat belts were on, which prevented us from being thrown forward into the window. Waiting to here from the salem nh Honda dealership to see what the remedy will be (replace the transmission with a rebuilt one is my guess). This was the first and only time we had any trouble with the transmission, I think this is such a serious issue which, if circumstances were different, could have caused serious injury or death. This should not happen no matter what the mileage is on the car. This sounds like a known problem to Honda and they should do an other recall like they did with the 2003 models and fix this problem.

Bought a Honda Accord 2004 v6 ex 3 weeks go. About one week after I had the car I noticed a humming noise from the transmission. Robertson Honda is jerking me around telling me they don't hear one. Now I find out from your web site there is a TSB about this very issue with at least one complaint from the prior year with the same issue. Last Honda car I buy.
