When driving the 2008 Honda Accord to reverse and then accelerate forward, the transmission is making a noise (producing a dull sound like thump). Brought this car to the dealer and they claim it is a normal characteristic of a design. The noise is not normal when there's a noise coming from the transmission. I wrote and called the american Honda and they said the same thing. I was told they will inform the design team and engineers about my complaint and that I should hear from them (I am skeptical).

I explained to the noise to the technician. He checked and found the car had a problem with the transmission. He told me that they were going to try to talk to american Honda to help me out with the cost because it is very expensive. It has been three weeks now with no response. I would like a solution to this as soon as possible. Any help from you would be very much appreciated. Thank you for your time. -martin quiej.

The contact owns a 2003 Honda Accord. While traveling between 35-40 mph, the contact heard a loud banging noise and felt as if he would lose control of the vehicle. The failure recurred a few times at the same speeds. The vehicle was taken to the dealer numerous times, but they were unable to duplicate the failure. The tcs light illuminated on the instrument panel and the dealer recommended that the wheels be changed. The contact replaced the wheels with manufacturer wheels, but the failure still continued. He took the vehicle back to the dealer, but they could not diagnose the cause of the failure. They speculated that the welding in the clutch drum was faulty and caused the transmission to lock in third gear. The dealer replaced the transmission. The contact believes that the manufacturer should have repaired the vehicle for free since it appears to be a manufacturer defect. The failure mileage was 80,000 and current mileage was 85,000.

I was driving along, and my car started lurching and jerking, making a big thumping noise. I took it to a Honda service center, they said I needed a new transmission- the car only had 62,000 miles.

We bought a new Honda Accord ex-l in 2002 with automatic transmission. It now has 45,000 miles. We took great care of the car, maintained it at the Honda dealer, and drove it carefully. Two weeks ago, we noticed that the car jerks and makes a noise when changing gears. We took it to the dealership and they said we have to replace the transmission. This is practically a new car and we should not experience this. Honda is not reliable, this car is clearly defective and Honda should either extend the warranty or recall these cars. Honda refuses to extend the warranty or recall although so many consumers complained about similar transmission issues. Their corporate customer service insists that they never received such complaints although the internet and consumer websites are full of such examples. I am requesting that you investigate this issue and force Honda to take care of their defective cars . Thanks, najat kbait.

Approx 3 months ago, the transmission started intermittently to jerk and slip gears when coming to a stop or slowing down and then it would hesitate to start. It continued at a slow pace then all of a sudden it became more frequent, loud jerking noises, slipping/disengaging gears and hesitating to start. I no longer felt safe in the care. Took it to the Honda dealer with no personality or customer service skills the best deal they offered they would pay 25% after I told them I had a case # assigned from Honda America. They made a statement that if the district manager knew that I had used a non Honda transmission fluid in the past couple of years he would not have given me this good deal. He more or less blamed the fluid for the transmission problems. I have always gone to a reputable mechanic for pms therefore the fluid was not the cause of the transmission problems especially after reading all the complaints mentioned here and other consumer complaint sites.

1999 Honda Accord v-6, 90k miles. In July, 2005. I started noticing a whistling sound when the engine was on and the abs and other dash lights would come on and off sporadically. During normal maintenance, I inquired about the noise and dash light problem. Nothing was found wrong. The dash lights have been coming on and off ever since. Today when the car was cranked, it made a louder than normal whistling sound. After driving if for 1/2 a mile the noise stopped. The next time I drove the car, it stopped accelerating and acted as though it was going to cut off. I parked it and attempted to crank it again but the battery was dead. After recharging the battery, it still could not accelerate. I had it towed to the Honda dealership. After inspection, I was told that the transmission would have to be replaced. After researching the internet, I realized that many others with 99 Accords have experienced the same problems. Considering this is the 3rd Honda I have purchased (the transmission had to be replaced on my 93 Honda also) it appears to be a problem that needs to be addressed.

I have 25000 miles on a 2002 Honda Accord se. Last year we started to have a low whine between 30 and 50 mph . This year (2006) there is a rumbling noise on acceleration and disappears when the speed is decreased. I thought is was the tires and replaced them but the noise remains. I brought the car to several mechanics and they all believe it is the transmission. Called Honda public relations to discuss and I was essentially told tough luck. There appears to be many failures of Honda transmissions and an obvious engineering flaw.

This follows a complaint number 10135954 (2nd gear problem, recall #04v176000). Last year, the vehicle was not serviced under the recall because Honda rep. Said my vehicle's VIN was not recalled. Yet, I noticed there are many complaints about the transmission of Honda Accord and their VIN numbers were similar to mine. In the spring 2006, the vehicle started to make noise when it is accelerated. It makes more noise in the afternoon than the morning. I took to a local auto shop and it was diagnosed that the noise was coming from the transmission. The technician stated some parts of the transmission must have been broken or got loose. This problem could be related to the recall # 04v1760000 of this vehicle. I am afraid if this problem will cause transmission failure and thus cause an accident.

I owned a 2002 Honda Accord this happened when the car was about 60,000 miles on it. The transmission was very bad. It didn't changed the gear it supposed to be giving a very loud noise and stop in the middle of the road. I contacted the Honda dealer and they checked the VIN # and they said it wasn't on a recalled list. I brought the car to Honda dealer and tried to pretend to trade my car in for another. They said that the car had problem which is very bad transmission and they said the value was very low because they have to replace a new transmission's was very disappointed, Honda had a very good reputation for the best car manufacturer. But it is not.

The contact stated while driving the vehicle there was a clicking noise in the transmission. The dealer refusd to address the consumers concern. Updated 11/29/05.

I have a 98 Honda Accord and around 87,000 miles my transmission went out. I took it to aamco to have it diagnosed they said had to rebuild. $2900. 00. Al month later I had to take it back for more transmission problems there was a loud knocking noise in the gear box and they fixed it. I took it back twice since having tranny rebuilt now its a year later and the car began to slip and jerk and now there is a metal scraping noise coming from the gear box when in gear. This is the 4th time I will have to take it in for transmission problems.

2003 Honda Accord hesitated from a stop and made an unusual noise which also occurred when driving. The vehicle was taken to a dealer who determined that the automatic transmission had to be replaced. Since the vehicle was still under warranty to consumer only had to pay for the diagnostic test. The consumer did some research and found that there was recall on the transmission (recall number 04v176000). She never received a notice.

On April 6 and July 1 of this year I was traveling at 70 mph on the interstate when a loud explosion occurred. The first time I thought I must have hit something or been near a gunshot. When the same thing happened months later the noise sounded as though it was in the cabin with me. No warning lights, difficulty in handling, or visible damage has appeared. The noise is sudden, without warning, and immense--ringing in ears an hour later--not to mention frightening. We replaced tires in June, and all regular maintenance has been done on schedule. There was a transmission problem when the car was brand new-a clunking noise-which was difficult to diagnose, and required extended days in the shop (nearly four of the first six weeks owned). It was finally eliminated when the shop "dismantled" the car, drained transmission fluid (twice) and did assorted other "fixes". I have contacted the service department concerning the explosions, but they have no suggestions. In about 3 weeks the odometer will be at the same mileage as between the previous two booms, would really like someone else to be with me if it happens again.

I bought my 99 Honda Accord on June 28, 2003 for 16,000$ odometer readout 56,000 miles. I have since noticed noises and jerky like movements upon acceleration also when letting off the gas peddle when the car is trying to idol down. As if to be stuck or revving in the gear in which its leaving and ends with a jerk once it gets to the gear its changing to with a rev or jump especially if on a hill. Now at just over 130,000 miles and in the year 2008 the problem is worse and worse. The problem has been temp. Made better with flushing of the transmission fluid, and for whatever reason there is no changeable transmission fluid filter. I have been told by Honda that I need a new transmission. What! 130,000 miles and it already needs replacing, this is suppose to be a Honda,, Honda once meant reliability, biggest mileage ect. I have not as of today which is July 15, 2008, replaced my transmission, and im hoping that with a little prayer god will have mercy on me and my dumb car, because I cant afford a new transmission, and yes I am willing to bet that they have this part in stock even!! Hondas good to have those odd parts that break , lets you know that your not the only one with problems on those parts. They like to screw you once you drive up and tell you lots of things you do not need to do to your car just to take every dime you have to your name. I once saw a Honda outside the showroom where I bought my car,, it was on showcase for its mileage of over 600,000 miles! im thinking they didn't have tranny problems before they reached 200,000 miles!.

Driving along hwy 94 in st. Charles mo and heard a noise from my car and then I had no power train, transmission went out. It was like I was in nuetral. I was able to pull off the highway with no one hitting me. Towed it to ed napleton Honda dealer in st. Peters mo 63376.

I bought my 2000 Honda Accord 2 drive in December 1999 brand new, and my first problem was the clunking noise everytime I would reverse. It felt I had hit something because it would jerk. I contacted the dealer and my transmission was replaced after only 4 months of having the car. Then again in 2002 my car started jerking and taking a long delay getting in gear. I took it into the dealer and my transmission was replaced at no charge. Now it's 2005, and I was advised I need another transmission because it jerks when I accelerate and it also delays when going into gear (feels like it in neutral when I'm accelerating). I've lost my faith in Honda's and something has to be done about this because I know of other people same car same problems.

2000 Honda Accord lx v6 automatic, with what else " transmission trouble" we purchased car and within 2 months would make horrible bang noide while backing up. Took to dealership with complaint 5 seperate times and they lied stating they did not know what problem was and could not find anything wrong. When I demanded the service manager and their transmission tech meet me one morning I described the problem and the tech knew exactly what it was and that a new transmission would need to be installed. After they put god knows what in it I tooks it back complaining of a noise they said they had it on the lift listened to it and could not find anything except tire noise, they thing broke right in there parking lot when we went to pick it up. I just looked at the jerk manager and said to him " couldn't find nothing wrong, don't ever go hicking there are rattlesnakes that make less noise than this transmission did and we don't need to loose anymore liars on our little planet now do we?!!!!". He had no response. Well now transmission # 3 is getting ready to bite the dirt, has been serviced every 30,000 miles and needing replaced with only 118,000 miles on vehicle, 68,000 since last one was put in. It will be the absolute coldest day in hell before I ever darken Hondas doors again.

Honda automatic transmission are failing left and right, and the new transmission Honda is replacing with are as bad as the originals. My 2000 Honda Accord automatic transmission failed at 53000 mile after many miles of making whistling, clicking, grinding noises and generally giving the impression you were about to be stranded. Honda replaced transmission under extended warranty in March of 2005 after requiring me to spend a $100 bucks to service the old one prior to diagnostics. Replacement transmission jerks and makes all kinds of noise when put in reverse and hit the gas. Local Honda dealer (hughes Honda in warner robins, GA) tries to link it to the some brake pad alignment non-sense in an attempt to get another $130 out of me. I told the service manager to change the pads with the agreement being the dealership would absorb the cost if the transmission noise was not fixed. Then the pads they just told me were worn out all of a sudden had tons of life left. The car with the same brake components and pads did not make the noise until after the new transmission was installed. Honda has a real problem and should be forced via recall to address any and all transmission problems or buy the car back.

While accelerating from a stop the accelerator pedal became stuck intermittently. The consumer was able to decelerate the vehicle. Dealership repaired the iac valve. Both rear seat belt became stuck. The transmission was very noisy. Both front wheel bearing were replaced because they were making noise.

Consumer received recall 04v176000 concerning automatic transmission failure. Took vehicle to dealer for repairs. Problem had not been resolved. The consumer indicated that the transmission made a grunting noise. The dealer indicated that the noise was normal but the consumer doesn't think so.

Heard "thumping" type noise in 1998 Honda Accord with approximately 58,000 miles. Took vehicle to Honda dealer where all routine maintenance had been performed. Originally told that wheel bearing had failed but then informed that bearing in transmission had failed and that transmission would have to be replaced at owner's expense despite the vehicle's impeccable service records, low miles, and excellent condition. Remanufactured Honda transmission was installed at owner's expense, but the premature transmission failure rate associated with this vehicle needs to be addressed and those owners affected by this failure deserve full reimbursement from Honda.

The vehicle's transmission made a clicking noise. The vehicle had been to the dealer several times but the problem still exists. Recall# 04v176000.

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.
