Transmission failed after only putting 77,300 miles on the car.
While driving the car I noticed when I put my foot on gas it wasn't responding. I got a few more feet down the road and the car stopped. I the tried to give it gas nothing happened. I had the car towed to the shop and was told my transmission was completely shot at 97000 miles . The car has been maintained very well with the transmission fluid being changed. I know Honda has had many problems with their transmissions . This is the second Honda I have owned that the transmission has failed and after this it might be the last Honda I own.
I bought my 2006 Accord v6 auto not quite 4 years ago as a 2 year old, off lease beautiful, gently used model with 38,000 miles. Around 85,000 miles I noted the transmission started to shift abruptly/hard. I had a transmission fluid service completed and this seemed to solve the problem. The abrupt shifts started again around 128,000 miles. Now at 130,000 miles, the transmission completely failed. After a 65 mile trip, the car would not get out of first gear. The engine revved and revved, but would not shift. After a 5 minute rest, the car would not even go into reverse or drive. When the tow truck arrived 45 minutes later, the car did manage to go into reverse and drive to get the car aligned with the flat bed. The result from an independent Honda specialist: $3932. 74 to replace the transmission. A call to stevenson Honda, who did not look at the car, quoted $4200 for a "remanufactured" transmission. Not sure how Honda could continue to build this transmission and install in their top of the line model after knowing there were problems as early as 2003, in this specific model. I'm not quite sure what my plan of action is after calling Honda 800-999-1009 to complain. I don't have $4000 laying around.
