Although headlights still work, power steering is no longer available...so i must hurriedly shift into n to glide to the side of the road. The car does not restart right…

The "check engine warning light came on" and the trouble code is p0740, transmission torque converter circuit malfunction. The car surges forward from a stopped position even at the slightest depression of the gas pedal which makes it prone to an accident by hitting the vehicle in front. I brought it to the dealer and they reset the warning light, test drove it and told me that they can't find anything wrong but…

The transmission of my 99 honda accord ex v6 is behaving erratically and is creating a hazardous situation on the roads as the car suddenly jerks and speeds up or slows down as the transmission shifts erratically without any control. At times the car just locks up into 2nd or 3rd gear on the freeway. I believe this is a serious safety issue for others and for my family. After doing some research, i notice that a lot…

Got a car tune-up done by a honda dealership. The gears shifted a lttle different but i attributed it to the tune-up. It progressively got worst so i took it back to the dealer to have it checked. After their analysis, they diagnosed it as a "bad differential" and it needed a new transmission. The car only had 78,000 when it was at the dealer for the tune-up the end of may. Do i have any recourse through the…

The transmission was slipping from 1st to 2nf gear, it was mildly noticeable. I had it checked out by transmission auto shops and they said i would be fine and there was not any indication of problems from the diagnostic tests. I continued to drive it for a year. Then one day it shifted so hard i barely made it out of the middle of the city going through multiple intersections to find a place to park it. The…

Check engine light came on. Brought to the dealer and they said the code indicated a torque converter circuit malfunction. Dealer supposedly checked and road tested and said they couldn't find anything wrong. They reset the warning light and said the transmission maybe going bad. I was charged their typical outrageous labor cost. I should have brought it to an auto parts store who could have told me the same thing…

The check engine light came on, and the dealer says the p0740 code is torque converter clutch assembly failure is a $2900 replace the transmission job. A transmission shop told me the same thing.

Hi, i own a 1999 4 door automatic honda accord ex-ul, but the transmission literally failed on this car and is due to the fact of a defective part, which i found from reading various article on the website.

I have a 1999 honda accord lx with a 4 cylinder vtec engine. 1-12-08 while driving at lower speeds--typically 30 to 45 mph the car will jerk and change gears when not needed. At highway speeds the car stalls and i have to shift to neutral to restart. Update: may 2008 and i have no reverse gear at all. After reading all the complaints i would really like to know why honda has not put a recall on these 1998 and 1999…

Since first purchased this 99 accord has been to the shop on 5 different occasions for hard shifting into 1st and 2nd. Was told by honda mechanic that was how it was supposed to shift. Still having troubles with slipping, and hard shifting and occasionally down shifting when going 70mph, car will whine loudly and you can feel the transmission down shift. Was told i needed to replace transmission. *tr

Car is stalling and seems that transmission is slipping. In researching web, i have run across at least 20 drivers, with exact same make, model etc. Although my car has 120k miles, some only had 60k when their transmission failed. Every mechanic that i spoke with (including dealership) admits that the transmission in these models are known to fail. I can't believe that a dealer as reputable as honda has not been…

I can add another transmission failure from a honda accord 1999. This car has the same transmission as the recalled transmissions on honda accord from 2000 to 2002. My transmission seal leaked at 110,000 miles. I had the transmission rebuilt at 149,000 miles for $2100. Of course, the reason i bought a honda was better engineering. I am beginning to think that i have a false perception of the honda quality. This was…
