I was on my way home from work, exiting the downtown area and entering the freeway, when the transmission slipped out of gear. The transmission would not re-engage without moving the shifter down to the d3 gear first. I was able to limp the car using this method to the nearest transmission repair shop. The transmission slipped out of gear several more times on the drive to the repair facility. It was diagnosed with a faulty third clutch and a repair estimate of $3200-3400 for a rebuilt transmission. I chose a different repair shop, with an equally good reputation, and had the transmission rebuilt for $2700. It has been back to the same repair shop 3 times after the rebuild with similar symptoms. They are not able to determine the cause of the recurring slippage. Research reveals that hundreds of other Honda Accord owners have encountered the same issue of transmission failure. It appears to be the same parts failing in a majority of instances. The transmission will slip out of gear from a dead stop, in motion at slow speeds or moderate speeds with no detectible pattern. The transmission failing while the car is in motion creates an extremely dangerous, potentially fatal, driving situation. I don't feel safe driving this vehicle. Honda has issued a recall on this transmission already but not for this particular problem. My vehicle doesn't qualify for the recall.

I recently took my car to Honda with problems accelerating up a hill and sometime on flat land and they told me I needed a new transmission at a cost of $4300. I asked to speak with a service manager because I only take my car to Honda to be serviced and now all of a sunden I need a new transmission. Well the service manager told me the transmissions on the 2000 Honda Accord ex v6 were bad. This prompted me to go online and do research, and there were a whole lot of complaints. These complaints stated a lot of issues I had with my car when I first got it specifically I couldnt get my car to shift out of gear from park. My car broke down on me so much in the earlier years it was ridiculous. So I called Honda to no avail since I felt my issues were covered up when I had a warranty with them. They said they couldnt help me im at 116,000 miles and they extended the mileage to 109,000 on their transmissions. I would say that this is bad business for Honda. They should have done a recall. They sevice techs should have been more thorough.

This vehicle has been fine up to 9,205 miles. We have bought this vehicle back three times to our Honda dealer including this original date for shuttering, jerking, vibration,lagging and loss of power 0-25 m. P. H. Worse with a/c or econ button on as well. Also while driving, transmission jumped out of gear then revs out then goes back into gear, this problem happened once on deceleration into a residential turn. This problem occurred after our last visit to dealer in July 2015. Vibration seems from drive line in gear and was told this is normal by dealer. These issues I feel are not normal. These problems occur in traffic and are unsettling because we are just waiting for the day for the car not to respond correctly when throttle is pushed and a rear end collision to occur or crossing an intersection because of throttle response, shuttering, jerking and lagging in power or even have an issue crossing an intersection. At highway speeds 55 m. P. H problems with shuttering and lagging not present. On 8-8-2014 the original complaint was made to my Honda dealer for these issues. We were told by dealer on that date that an update had to be performed for transmission valve body, p. C. M update, and new c. V. T fluid, the update was TSB-013-053. We rescheduled for 9-6-2014 and the update was performed( mileage at that time 10,031). This update really never solved the issue. I believe it is a transmission issue and that Honda does not know how to resolve it. Seems like service advisers (who have been courteous) are being coached in what to say to customers with their underlying issues so that the problems can be put off possibly past warranty so that they can contend with other major cost inducing recalls or t. S. B's like air bags to contend with.

I have serious issues with my Honda Accord. First, the transmission has failed. It began with it slipping in higher gears when hot and finally failed when it wouldn't shift out of low gear. This transmission is the same transmission that is in the 00-04 Honda Accords that were recalled. Honda refused to offer any type of owner assistance. My expense to repair: $1516. 30 second issue: in 2002 the ignition switch was recalled. The car died on the freeway and had to be towed two days after I received the recall notice. Honda repaired the vehicle no charge for parts and labor but refused to pay for the towing expense. My cost: $75. Now the ignition switch has failed again and Honda has refused to replace it at no charge or with any type of owner assistance even though this same part was replaced as part of a recall. I have been given an "estimate" of $275 to repair. Freeman Honda of dallas replaced the switch under the recall. I've contacted john eagle Honda of dallas, on lemmon Ave, and left messages for mario villareall the service manager but have not received a return phone call. I spoke with a service consultant who point blank told me my car is out of warranty and they will do nothing to help me. I called Honda customer assistance and was told they would not participate in any type of owner goodwill or assistance with either repair. I understand parts fail but these two repairs are known product issues for Honda!.

Car frequently slipped out of 2nd gear when accelerating on the highway. Honda said a new transmission was needed. This is a known defect that Honda tried to band-aid in 2004. They should be forced to issue a complete transmission recall on 2003 Accord v6 vehicles. There are 810 complaints on carcomplaints. Com specifically for the transmission. Hundreds of others have no doubt gone unreported. Honda knew there was a problem as early as 2004 and hasn't done the right thing. Please help us.

While driving on the highway the transmission slipped out of gear & would not engage right away causing a very dangerous situation. The person driving behind me almost hit me from behind & became very angry because I couldn't change lanes quick enough to get out of the way due to heavy traffic. Now the transmission slips when it tries to shift between gears at lower speeds (it is an automatic) or makes a hard clunk when putting into drive.

No issues prior to the drive into work 7/3/12, where I experienced extreme downshifting. On the way home, driving 35 to 40 mph, the car slipped out of gear and the engine's rpms skyrocketed. While maneuvering to the right to get out of traffic, transmission re-engaged and downshifted violently. From a stopped position it would move forward briefly, then slip out of gear. Finally, it wouldn't engage in any position (reverse, drive, 1st, 2nd, etc). The only way to get moving was to turn it off and restart. I got it to the dealer by restarting 3 or 4 times. Extremely dangerous in rush hour to lose all power, especially at intersections.

Major automatic transmission problems. When gently stopping the vehicle (at a stop sign, or at a red light), the car lurches forward after it has already come to a complete stop. This happens when it is trying to downshift from second to first gear. Then, there is a five second delay before the car actually engages in first gear (in other words, after I stop, I cannot move the car again for at least five seconds). Also, sometimes when accelerating, the car slips out of gear for a few seconds (jerks forward and back) and then eventually slips back into gear. Both of these problems occur sporadically. The problem seems to be worse when the car is warmed up.

Vehicle: Honda Accord v6, 2004 problem: automatic transmission failed while on a busy street and nearly was rear ended and left me stranded on busy road. Honda is not admitting any fault at this moment when this model has a recall dated 2004 which I was not made aware of when the vehicle was worked on at their dealership in 2010. This defect is a safety issue because the transmission was dropping out of gear when on an interstate traveling at 70mph.

2004 Honda Accord v6 automatic transmission issue. Transmission slips out of gear while driving. Was fortunate not to get into an accident as my car had no power while travelling up a grade on I-5 in los angeles county.

Without warning my automatic transmission will slip out of gear. Doesn't seem to be related to speed or length of time driven. Just random. It could happen 20 times a day or not happen for weeks. I have contacted Honda and they said it is not a recall issue, although I have found literally hundreds of the same complaint online. Was told that they might be able to offer me some assistance on repair, but not 100% and not a common issue.

2003 Honda Accord v6: automatic transmission slipping out of gear; either to neutral and reving high or violently downshifting. It has been slightly noticable for a while but not enough to think it was dangerous. Then within the past 2 weeks it has become more pronounced and dangerous. This occured multiple times on on the highway within a 15 miles drive. Multiple accidents were barely avoided when the downshift or slip would occur with other traffic on the road. I am concerned for my safety and others as this will likely lead to complete transmission failure and end with a crash. I have not taken any steps to fixing this yet becasue I know I will be told I need to buy a new transmission which seems unreasonable when a universal problem is apparent among this model/year of car.

I own a 2003 Honda Accord ex v6. The cars transmission has been slipping for months now, and Honda has not even offered to help correct the problem. I have called numerous times, and they say that until total transmission failure occurs, there is nothing I can do about it. Now the transmission has failed, while I had a client in my car last Friday. We were both jolted forward as the transmission slipped out of third gear and suddenly the engined revved up to 7000 rpm's. I apologized to him, dropped him off, and brought it straight to my local Honda dealer. If this had occurred on the highway, there would have been serious damage or injuries to other cars or drivers. I noticed there is a recall on a part in the transmission, and this hasn't been fixed yet??? now I'm seeing hundreds of other people that this has happened to, and I can't believe that this is not a safety issue!!! if my client or I had been injured in an accident occurring from the faulty transmission, there would be multiple lawsuits filed with Honda for negligence to fix the parts. This needs to be addressed by NHTSA and Honda immediately!!!! if anyone can offer me advice, please do.

Transmission started to slip out of gear @ 66k miles in '06. Car was being leased and still under lease, took to dealer and they replaced transmission free of charge under "good faith". Just today the replacement transmission is starting to slip out of gear while driving. Car now has 160k miles. There is obviously a problem with this year transmission as I have had two now and am having issues w/ the replacement.

While driving my 2005 Honda Accord v6 on the highway it slipped out of gear and violently down shifted to 2nd gear almost causing an accident! thank god the driver behind me was aware or it could have been fatal. From that day the transmission kept doing the same thing. The car has 95k. Honda has refused to take any responsibility for the failure!! this also happened to my 2002 Accord!! something needs to be done before people get hurt! you would think Honda of all car makers would stand behind what they make. . . But they don't. . . Time to think about another car to by in the future!.
