This is my second report of a transmission failure in my 2004 Honda Accord. My transmission locked up and in getting over I was hit from behind in a hit and run. I had to have it rebuilt when it failed back in 2010, and now it is failing again. I reported the incident (10342732) to the NHTSA back in October of 2010. My VIN number does not fall in the range of customers with this issue; however, like many that purchased this vehicle during this time. . . The transmission is prone to failure.

This is just unbelievable. Every three months I take my car in to get service and now my transmission is failing me. I place the car on drive and it does not go anywhere. I turn the car off and turn it back on and it finally drives. I really was not expecting this from Honda. My car was in perfect condition and drove very smooth because it is well maintained. Not in a million life years would I guess my transmission would be an issue right now.

Complete transmission failure on fully serviced 2004 Honda Accord at 124k miles while driving in rush hour traffic. Upon research, found very common problem that Honda is aware of but does nothing to fix. Rebuilt Honda transmission cost $4,800 for part alone!.

2003 Accord coupe 4 cylinder: when driving 35 miles per hour and came to a stop sign, car reved up but would not advance. Towed to mechanic, says transmission failure, gears are bad/ slipping.

While driving on a rain slickened road Monday September 2nd, the transmission locked up at 45 mph and nearly caused me to lose control of the vehicle. Subsequently the transmission completely failed and the vehicle had to be towed to a repair shop. The transmission repair shop confirmed that the 3rd (third) gear had failed and caused the transmission lockup. The vehicle has 76,000 miles on the odometer and I am the original owner and purchased the vehicle from a Honda dealership in dallas, texas. I contacted american Honda customer motor customer service to report the incident and after describing the event was told to take the vehicle to the dealership for evaluation. Clearly this is a defective product and a hazard to safety when the transmission fails. The telephone representative that I spoke to said Honda had no information on transmission “lockups” or unsafe conditions regarding this particular vehicle. I told her that after the transmission lockup happened I researched this condition and found that Honda has in fact extended the drivetrain warranty on this model vehicle as the result of a class action lawsuit. At that point she ended the conversation by hanging up the phone and not attempting to call me back after she has requested a callback number at the beginning of the call. This transmission design is faulty and should be recalled due to safety considerations. If I had lost control of the vehicle and was killed, no one would have known that the faulty transmission was the causal factor the accident.

Car details: - 05 Accord se coupe with ~65k miles (automatic transmission, 4 cylinder) recently, I have noticed that the car will not accelerate even when I keep pushing the gas pedal. Typically happens at around 50 to 60 mph marker (the mph needle will just stall at one location and not move). I have to tap the brake lightly a couple of times or let the car coast down without giving it any gas (it kind of releases whatever is holding the car from accelerating and releases the mph needle). I then accelerate the car again and it will go higher than 60 mph. Keeps happening often (not every time though). My gas mileage is lower which confirms that something is happening. This is a serious safety issue on highways. I am not sure if this is related to all the transmission failure issues that Honda Accords continue to see on models manufactured in the mid 2000s.

Tl-the contact owns a 2004 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving approximately 25 mph, she approached a stop sign and after coming from the complete stop the transmission failed to operate upon engaging the accelerator pedal. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic and transmission center for diagnosis where both technicians stated that the transmission would need to be replaced. In 2004, the vehicle was repaired for a recall under NHTSA campaign id number 04v176000 (power train). The vehicle had not been repaired for recent failure. The manufacturer was notified of the defect. The approximate failure mileage was 136,000. Js.

While driving on the highway in rush hour traffic the transmission started to have issues while shifting down into first, a small knock. When I was able to get up to normal highway speeds as traffic opened up the car violently slammed into first gear causing my tires to lock up and sent me veering to the right. Luckily I was in the right lane and the car behind me was at a safe distance or I would have been toast. Afterwards I was able to limp home in first gear as no other gear is working including reverse. Looks like its off to the dealer to buy a new transmission. I don't understand how there can be hundreds of complaints of catastrophic transmission failure at highway speeds and there is no concern of safety from either Honda or the NHTSA, but they are quick to tell you to replace the ignition interlock because it's unsafe! please do something about this before someone gets seriously hurt!.

Was driving on the highway at approximately 60 mph when the car violently downshifted into 1st gear and slowed to 20 mph. Was able to pull off of the highway onto a city street. After this, the car would not accelerate, although the rpms would increase when the gas pedal was pressed. Shifted through several different gears and no change. Had to have the car towed to a shop where it was diagnosed with transmission failure. The repairs and labor cost $1975. There were absolutely no warning signs that there was a problem with the transmission until it failed on the highway. The car had been to the dealership a month prior and no problems were detected. While under my ownership, the car has been up to date on all regular maintenance and all previous recalls had been addressed. This was a very dangerous situation for me and I believe that Honda needs to address this known issue with this model to prevent injuries or fatalities.

Manual transmission failed completely, with no warning .

While traveling on a 4 lane highway, car was acting like a bucking bronco. My wife pulled into the right lane and slowed down the car to baout 35 miles per hour. When she got home, I test drove the car around the block and flet the same problem. I contacted holler Honda in winter park, FL to schedule an appointmnet for Saturday. I insisted about the service call and asked if I should drive the car or have it towed. They indicated that it should be safe to drive to their shop. I had the same issues on Saturday driving the car to holler Honda. I received a call about two hours later, informing me that the transmission needed to be replaced. I purchased the Honda Accord in November 2003 and received a recall for fixing the transmission in 2004. Honda was aware of the problem with a faulty transmission but only made a temporary fix. By only performing a temporary fix, this car was a safety hazzard. The transmiision for the Honda Accord 2003 would go before any transmission should have gone. I am fortunate that mw wife was not on a major highway traveling at 65-70 miles per hour and have the transmission fail causing a major crash.

Driving on highway 101 in California the powertrain (automatic transmission) on our 6 cylinder Honda failed at highway speeds. When we got to an exit, the car could not power up an exit ramp. The car even rolled backwards even when the transmission was put in park. Prior to this problem we had no advance warning or inkling of any transmission difficulties. During this incident the warning light on the dash did not turn on. Once we got to a repair facility we were told that the transmission had failed completely and the cost of a remanufactured unit would be about $4,400. After this incident we read up on Honda's and discovered that such complete, no-warning failures are rather common in these Honda Accords. Our extended warranty ran out six months ago. Given the high number of these problems and the high cost involved, we believe that Honda should repair or replace these units as losing power in a car on an interstate highway is very dangerous.

Honda recalled transmission's on 2004, I took my Accord 2003 and they just make up my transmission with oil, but knowingly that this transmission will fail, so I really think that in reality there was not fix. . . . Now I have to pay for something that was already set to failure. . . .

Transmission problems have happened ever since purchasing the car. At 144000 miles the transmission was replaced. At time of purchase, fluid was changed, January came, and once again needed another fluid change. I changed the fluid after purchase out of fear and transmission went from hard shifts to normal, even shifts. Problems raised again in January, I have two cases of Honda transmission fluid at hand right now. Now, it's maybe two weeks before it shifts hard again. I deal with it knowing the cost to fix the transmission, but yesterday was the point where it starts to affect my safety. Going 30-45, shifting from second to third, there is delay in shifting when at 3000 rpm, at 4000 rpm or higher shifting is very violent from second to third as of yesterday, April 23, 2014. Also at 55 mph on my way home, the car jolted during shifting while accelerating causing me to almost lose control. If this happened just three seconds before as I was turning a corner on this road it could have caused me to crash. Transmission feels distant at times, as if power is not being properly applied to the wheels during slow medium and hard acceleration from first to second gear. The transmission deteriorates with time and mileage. Car is 100% different than when we acquired it. Complaint after complaint and not one thing being done by Honda nor NHTSA. The oil jet kit was a cheap and limited fix to this problem and only delayed transmission failure. Why is there no recall for this? several people are on the highway when these transmissions fail and are lucky to avoid accidents and death. Does it have to take someone traveling 70 mph with violent down shifting, being rear ended and killed for this to reach headlines for someone to acknowledge the danger? it's a real problem that affects safety, people's lives including my own.

Transmission fail squills whines loud in reverse won't go in reverse sometime squills whines in park when started only way to hush it is to throw in drive then into neutral and pull the park brake. In drive it shifts hard going up in gears then when slowing down it down shifts hard like a manual transmission sometime hard enough to squill the tires . This is a big problem with 98-02 Honda Accord automatic transmissions and this needs to be fixed its going to get someone killed . Honda needs to be forced to recall these car/ cars and fix the problem.

The check engine light came on suddenly so I took it the shop to get it checked out. The technician said that the transmission failed and needs to be replaced. The car is a Honda Accord ex v6 2 door coupe and only has 70,600 miles. It seems like many Honda vehicles are experiencing early transmission failures that normal.

Automatic transmission failed at 130k miles and had to be rebuilt at cost to me of $2800.

Transmission was replaced by Honda in 2007 at 115,000 miles. The Honda replacement transmission failed unexpectedly and catastrophically a few days ago despite meticulous maintenance by Honda dealers and top mechanics. This failure left the driver in a dangerous situation with oncoming traffic. This second transmission had 80,000 miles and does not address the original design defect.

I was driving my Honda Accord on a residential street, when the transmission started to shift erratically. The d4 light started to flash and the 'check engine' light came on. The Honda dealership that serviced the vehicle told me that the transmission had failed. This from a car that I had purchased six weeks earlier. Luckily the incident happened on a vacant road and not a highway on-ramp where smooth shifting is a life or death scenario.

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.

On December 10th, 2012, transmission failed completely while commuting to work on mn 95. Barely avoided collision reaching safe shoulder area (winter conditions). Injured back pushing vehicle out of way of oncoming traffic. Transmission began whining upon cold start and slow in shifting at approximately 125,000. Attempted diagnosis at Honda dealership - failing transmission. Was told to contact Honda America regarding 2004 recall and 2006 settlement. No response to request for assistance from Honda America. Local transmission repair shop diagnosed slight slipping in 3rd and 4th gears, even when warmed up. Looked up technical service bulletins regarding 2004 recall repairs utilizing jet pack to increase transmission fluid flow (and pressure?). Called Honda America and was told VIN indicated the problem had already been addressed during vehicle manufacture (2nd half of 2004) and recall for jet pack was not needed. Vehicle had to be towed and remanufactured transmission installed. Cost - $4,000 plus lost work. Despite 2004 recall, 2006 settlement and extended warranty (7yr/100k), Honda America refuses to assist. Have owned 6 Hondas since 2000 (1998 Accord, 2000 civic, 2001 Accord, 2003 odyssey, 2004 Accord and this 2004 Accord). Will now sell my repaired 2004 Accord and my 2003 odyssey fast before its transmission fails and will have to seek another company that actually stands behind its products.

I have a 2004 Honda Accord v6 and while merging into traffic on my way to work, the automatic transmission failed. I was nearly rear-ended, but was able to get the car off to the side of the road safely. Had this happened on a highway I could have been rear-ended by an 18 wheeler. With a v6, I expect to be able to pull out into traffic and come up to speed quickly and safely. That was not the case on the 29th of November and I was nearly rear-ended by a minivan due to the transmission failing completely. I am told that the transmission oil pump failed, and that lead to the transmission failure. I am now trying to trade in this vehicle for a Toyota instead. I no longer feel safe driving any Honda vehicles. In my experience, Hondas nonchalant way of dealing with this issue is extremely disturbing, and makes me feel that Honda does not care about me as a customer. Sad, if this is the new Honda, I will be sure to inform everyone I talk to about the decline in Honda quality and customer service that I experienced.

After about 45 minute ride out of my city on a major highway, my car violently downshifted from 65 mph to 0 and would not move out of first gear thereafter. This has happened everyday afterwards that I drive my car at least 20 minutes. It seems as if once a mechanism inside the transmission heats up or gets hot, this happens. I always service my vehicle as required, I am worried. This is a major transmission failure. I have read where over 200 other Honda owners have had this issue in the past but no recall has been issued. Please advise.

Transmission failed on highway, was able to drive at 50 mph at 5000 engine rpm. Slow to engage into drive from stop. Next day, would not engage r or d. Honda offered only $1300 goodwill on a $5k+ bill for reman transmission. Always performed a transmission fluid drain and refill every 10k miles since 60000 miles on the odometer w/Honda oem atf-z1 purchased from dealer. Filled up to the circle on the dipstick between the handle and last circle; poured new atf-z1 through the dip stick hole. Had to bite on a $2500 rebuilt repair bill from an indy shop.

Tl-the contact owns a 2006 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while downshifting, the gears shifted violently and the vehicle lunged forward abnormally. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnosis where they advised the contact that the transmission failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was unknown. The current mileage was approximately 121,124. Kmj.

Driving at approximately 68 mph on interstate 5 when car felt like the brakes had been applied, hard. Luckily there was not a lot of traffic behind me because it was a very quick deacceleration to 30mph and a very dangerous situation. I was able to limp along the freeway with my flashers on at 35mph, top speed, until I could get off of the freeway. When I was putting the car on the trailer dolly we realized that I had no reverse gear. The next morning, the car reengaged with reverse while taking the car off of the car trailer. The car was brought to a transmission shop that diagnosed that the transmission had failed at 106,000miles. We had taken the car into the Honda dealer for the 2004 transmission recall repair. I had no previous warning that there was any problems with the transmission until this failure.

Tl-the contact owns a 2003 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving approximately 60 mph, the vehicle suddenly down shifted and slowed down without any warning. The vehicle was later towed to an independent mechanic. After diagnosis they advised her that the transmission failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and they offered no assistance. The failure and current mileages were approximately 120,000. The VIN was unavailable. Tb.

I was driving the car on the I-15 approaching victorville, CA. The car suddenly lost all power and I had to pull to the side of the road to prevent getting hit from behind. The car stalled once I got it stopped and the warning lights for the engine and transmission came on. The transmission had apparently overheated and spewed all the transmission fluid out onto the road. I called for a tow truck and had the vehicle towed to victorville Honda. They told me that it was too late in the day to look at the vehicle and drove me to a car rental place where I rented a car at my own cost. The next morning they called and informed me that the vehicle needed a new transmission and the cost would be approximately $6000 for them to replace it. I was driving from California to ohio and could not afford the cost. I had them flush the transmission and refill it and continued on my trip. Approximately one month later the transmission completely failed and I had it replaced at a local shop.

Transmission failure.

1. Request for an immediately recall for Honda Accord lx 2002 models as having dangerous transmission problems, widespread transmission failure, subframe rust, & problems with the airbag system (srs ), and overall the car's safety or quality numerous concerns. Orderly problems occurred as it bulleted down: ?got it with slipping and jerking gear. Within two days returned, but I was advised that there are no urgent problems and that only my imagination. ?key time from time do not starts or hard to remove. ?problem with a back window to close when opened it. The dealer closed it and recommended not to open it anymore. ?wheel bearings going out and car drags that cause to replace a few times tires and the brakes pads. Premature tire wear. ?ball joint it was thought in the beginning, but then a transmission or both. As of per carscomplaint. Com January/2013 report it talks about subframe rust near the front passenger side wheel. ?change sensors but still ?check engine light remains? ? it shows p1166 and p1167 an air /fuel ratio sensor ? are generally wide band O2 sensor that could be anything. Smells. ?it could be this problem with sensor & check engine light as According to the japanese automaker ?Honda said the sensor wire could break and cause the air bag warning light to be illuminated and prevent the sensor from working properly. When the sensor fails, the air bag system automatically moves to full inflation pressure, which could increase the risk of injury for smaller drivers in a frontal crash?. ?finally transmission gone and my car now taking a long rest in someone's parking lot. I believe it is also a gear breakage! my core survival existence is in a great danger due to it, I have encounter numerous damages/injuries.

I was traveling on the interstate and was gradually having problems with my Accord v6 engine shifting into third gear. Rpms would go up, but no additional power. Finally transmission totally failed. Honda reported to me that the error code indicated an internal transmission failure and I needed a new transmission. They only gave me $1300 towards the $4400 cost of the transmission. They had no response to my comment that I noted other failures of the transmission posted in this database and elsewhere on the web.

The contact owns a 2004 Honda Accord. The contact was driving 20 mph when the transmission failed without warning. The vehicle was towed to the dealer for inspection where they advised the contact that the vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign id number: 04v176000, (power train:automatic transmission). The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified but did not respond. The failure mileage was 48,406.

I bought this car brand new in 2001 from a Honda dealership. A couple of years later, the transmission had failed. I called the Honda dealership where I had bought the car and they acknowledged that this generation had a known transmission defect. They repaired my car for free because it was still under warranty at the time and I was told that the transmission now had an extended 7year/109,000mile warranty. On July 15th, 2012, I was driving on highway 101s at 65mph when the check engine light suddenly came on. I noticed a slight loss in power, but my car did not die out. The check engine light stayed on. The next day, I decided to test drive the car again to see if the check engine light was a one time occurrence. I started up the car, put it in reverse, and then to drive. There was a sudden delayed jerk from reverse to drive. I managed to plug in a code reader into the car's computer port and pulled up two codes: p0700 and p0740. Both of these codes are associated with the transmission. Not again?!?! my car has now exceeded the extended warranty and I am afraid that Honda will not cover the repairs. I read on several forums that this has also occurred to Honda owners where the dealership has refused to repair the vehicle due to the expired extended warranty coverage.
