Two problems related to automatic transmission have been reported for the 1999 Honda CRX. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
On 1 Feb 05, I took my 99 Honda accord, VIN # 1hgcg1645xa011445, to a Honda dealer here in fort walton beach florida due to sluggish acceleration. They told me that the transmission system needs to be replaced for approximately $3,700. I asked them why the transmission would breakdown at 47,000 miles only. They said it is no longer covered by warranty but they will check with Honda hqs. Later on the day, they called and said Honda will pay for the parts but I have to pay the labor cost ($504) to replace the transmission. My question why do I have pay for the labor if they agree to provide the parts. I read that there is a lot of problem on Honda transmission so I presumed it is a factory defect. Is there anyway you can help?.
I have a 1999 4 cylinder Honda accord with 85,000 miles on it. When accelerating the transmission hesitates sometimes. Also when it shifts from 1st to 2nd it slips, causing the rpms to over-rev badly. I am a first time car buyer and bought a Honda because I figured they were reliable and I wouldnt have to shell out the cash for a new transmission 6 months after my purchase.
