I was driving my mom's 1999 honda accord ex v6 home last night around 11:00 pm. As i was approaching the exit and proceeded to decelerate from 65mph, the car violently downshifted several times causing me to lose control of the car. A large tractor-trailer which was behind me was narrowly able to avoid rear-ending (or running me over!) by switching lanes. My life flashed before me as i thought this was the end of my…

While driving at 36 mph, the vehicle suddenly jerked forward, followed by a metal to metal noise. The driver coasted the vehicle to a stop, then had the vehicle towed to a dealership. The dealership flushed the transmission because the fluid was burnt, but the metal noise was still present. A diagnostic test was performed. The front pump was found to be the main cause of the failure. Excessive metal was also found…

Within the first year of owning my accord v6, my transmission sensor blew out. That was the only thing covered under warranty. I repeatedly expressed concerns to the dealership that there was something with my transmission. It would thump and lurch the car forward or hesitate between gears. Repeatedly they assured me this was normal. Like everyone who buys a honda, i thought hondas are built to last so maybe this is…

My transmission started slipping. Specifically between 1st and 2nd. I took it in assuming that it was something that could be tuned up, but they could not find anything wrong. I drove the car for another week and had it fail miserably. I could not get out of 1st gear and drove home at 5 mph. This time the check engine light went on. The dealer says that i need a new transmission. *la

This problem could have resulted in an accident while traveling on…

Transmission failed at 40,000 miles, however it was under warranty so they fixed it at a cost of roughly $6000. Now at 82,000 miles, the fluid is leaking and they are advising me to pay for a replacement for about $4000. Honda is using there good name to sell a defective product and the 98-99 v6 accords need to be recalled along with the 2000-2001. *ak
