For the steering, the power steering pump doesn't hold power steering fluid and when you go around a curve and there is a bump in the road, your steering wheel jerks the other way. It's way worse with no power steering but it is still there even if you have fluid. The transmission will jump in between first and second gear so roughly it feels like your transmission is going to fall out, sometimes you can't go because of it and it's almost caused some accidents. You can't get up to the speed you need to with it being so rough and jumpy. Then there is a ticking noise when I press on the gas peddle, from the timing belt and transistor. Some of these problems have been happening since I got the car, like the shifting and the steering. The ticking has been there but not as badly as it is now. I also know I'm not the only Honda driver with these issues from this make and model and era for this car.

05/25/14 while backing the vehicle out of my drive way I noticed the a thumping sound and a jerking from the vehicle which caused great alarm from me. I called the dealer and they told me to bring it in. When I took the vehicle in the kept it for about a day and told me that they could not find anything wrong with it and that the inspector said that the same thing was happening to a new vehicle, that the noise and jerking was just the way it was. They called it a hard shift. My car is not a daily driven vehicle being I have two other cars that I primarily use. At the time of the incident my car had aprox. 303 miles on it. Now several months later on 01/01/15 when I went to start my vehicle I noticed the same problem, and being that I had already taken it once to the dealer and them telling me nothing was wrong with it, I had no second thought of taking it out on the road. I proceeded to drive down my residential street and realized I had forgot something at home. So on the residential intersection I started to make a u turn when all of a sudden steering cut out on me in the middle of my turn. I narrowly missed oncoming traffic and stopped right before I hit the curb and a parked car. When I did stop and got my composure back I looked down and there was a steering wheel light on and a buzzing noise. All this while going no more then 6 miles and hour. At this current moment my car is less then 2 years old and has less then 400 miles on it and I cannot believe that this would happen to such a new car with so little miles on it. Following this incident I googled my car to see if I was the only one having this problem and lord behold I was not. There are numerous accounts of this happening to other people some resulting in serious accidents. But most of the cars in those incidents that I could see had about 20k to 30k miles on them and mine does not even have 1k on it yet.

While driving, the d4 indicator from the transmission is illuminated. Extremely slow or delayed gear engagement, upshifts or downshifts. Loud noise from the transmission this posed a danger while driving. Honda dealership told me there was no warranty extension. But upon calling Honda they told me there was an extension of warranty.

2003 Honda Accord v6. Going approximately 70mph on a major highway and the car violently downshifted as if I had slammed on the brakes. Almost hit by other cars on multiple occasions as the problem persisted. Also heard a whining noise/rattling under the hood while driving in 2nd gear. Once I smelled burning I knew it was time to give up. Had to get car towed an hour away.

Brought 2003 Accord in oct 2010 with approximately 66k miles on it. In December 2010, I had to return it to the dealer because it was shifting very rough, and I would hear a grinding sound while driving to work(approx. 16 miles, round trip). There was a recall on the issue, however, the dealership manager tried to have me pay $285 for shipping costs of the parts. After some haggling for 2 days, he called me back & said they'd pay for it since it was around the holidays (lucky me!). Today, the transmission felt as if it literally fell out the car! while pulling out of my parking spot, it felt as if I ran over something huge! I put the car in reverse & it wouldn't move. I put in gear(automatic) and it made a loud whirring sound,then a grinding sound. I immediately put in park & the noise got louder. I turned the car off & it stopped, looked under the car, nothing. I started car again, put in gear, no movement & loud noise started again. I turned car off & had to get family members to assist in pushing it to a parking spot. Searched for & found dealer invoice from 2010 repair, and it states "warr. Exp. 11sept2013". . . . . . Halleluah! I'm calling the dealer 7am on Monday, letting them know I'm bringing it in, and I'm not paying a dime!.

The car initially would stick with a brief pause when shifted from reverse to forward. Several days later while driving on the freeway the car suddenly began to slow between 30-40 miles an hour. In order to get home we had to turn off the car and then restart and coast. In an effort to transport to our mechanic the car would not go in reverse and would not go into drive so we had to tow it in neutral to the shop. The mechanic was able to verify how the transmission fluid was black and smelled burnt. His prognosis was that I will need a new transmission. Within the past couple of months I had the car in the shop because of engine noise. It was thought to be the transmission and further diagnostics revealed the idler tensioner pulleys had to be replaced. At the time computer diagnostics revealed no problems with the transmission and the fluid was fine as well.

After 9 years of perfect satisfaction with a 2001 Honda Accord,I purchased a new 2010honda Accord on 08/2010. Loud whining noise started after approx. 1000 miles of driving. Heard whine, loud and consistant on startup and the whine intensifies as the engine warms with driving. Dealer replaced power steering pump on my third trip to Honda service. Noise continues even louder with new pump. A return trip to Honda dealer I was told it is a noise charteristic of this model. The nerve racking whine is deadened only with the radio vol. Turned up. Two other problems create very stressful driving conditions. The head rest extend too much forward creating severe neck strain and the stiff feel in the seats require constant shifting of position. I will never purchase nor recommend a Honda to anyone. My main concern now: is this whine an indicater for an unsafe situation or for a more serious mechanical problem?.

My name is earlene belsey and I am a 79 year old widow. I own a 2001 Honda Accord. In 2002, the Honda motor company sent out a notice notifying all Honda Accord owners that there is a defect in this model's transmission and the company was going to extend the warranty for an additional "seven years or 100,000 miles, which ever comes first. " they did not recall this model car to obviously save money. They stated that "if you have any problems with your transmission during this extended warranty period,just bring your car and they would replace it at no cost. " problems that could occur are " abnormally loud noises. . . Extremely slow or delayed gear engagement. . . Abnormal gear shifting. . . Erratic harsh shifting. . . Hard shifts when engine is cold" which is just a few of the issues listed. I always kept this in the back of my mind and hoped that nothing would occur. Since they did not take action to recall the car, I just hoped a safety issue would not arise. Even though the manufacture suggests you due transmission service at 60,000 miles, I acted conservatively knowing there could be a potential problem in the future, so I serviced the transmission at 30,000 miles, and again, hoped there would not be an issue. About a week ago, my transmission started shifting erratically. I have just 66,000 miles on this car, but the seven year part of the warranty has expired on this defective product. I asked my son if he could respond to this problem with my car. He agreed and was driving my car to the Honda dealer and was almost killed on the freeway by a semi-truck when the car failed to shift. He took the car to the Honda dealer and they suggested to file a claim with corporate which he did on Friday, oct 30th. On Monday Nov 2, 2009 corporate offered a "hypothetical offer of a 25% discount on the replacement of the trans, which will cost $3,000. I want 100%, replacement and they refused. Can you please help me? my case # with Honda is n012009-10-3000303. Ph 800 999-1009.

I initially reported a problem on my car on the 28th of January and brought the car in for repair at Honda of serramonte for making a cranking thump noise when making a reverse to acceleration. The noise coming from the transmission is very consistent and it occurs during a gear shift from reverse to acceleration.

I say this is not, as the noise is the first time I hear since in my adult driving experience of multiple cars and suvs. Please help!.

Bought 2007 Honda Accord hybrid in oct, 07. Reported that the car makes clunk noises when shifting sometimes and vibrates the entire when pulling off slowly as it automatically shifts into gear. The car also hesitates when pressing gas to speed up which nearly caused me to get rear ended by another car who had to hit brakes to stop from hitting me. Have reported this problem several times in which the last time the engineer was contacting and it was stated that this is normal operation of the car and nothing could be done to prevent. Complaints started at 1000 miles and car now has 600 miles. Have voiced complaint with dealership and Honda of America and to date nothing has been done about the issue. It is crazy to spend this much money on a car that am being told that vibrations and clunking noises are normal. This is truly a matter of the customer being treated unfairly. Additionally Honda said they would take the car in as trade and give me $23,000 for the car when blue book says it is work close to $26,000. . $3000 below blue book value and yet there is nothing wrong with the car.

After car is started and put into drive, there is a grinding and clunking noise shifting from first to second gear and will repeat each time the car is started up. Metro Honda of jersey city, NJ has failed/neglected to provide a full diagnosis of my problem after 3 hours of waiting and 5 different people test-driving my car after I specifically requested to be in the vehicle during these test drives to pin point the problem! vehicle is also experiencing a loss of power as well more and more rather than occasional. I shouldn't have to deal with this as me and everyone else have obligations to attend to, especially when I depend on my vehicle to get around.
