I noticed fluid coming out from the transmission on the driver's side where the axle goes throught the axle seal into the transmission. I took the car to exclusive honda /acura in omaha ne. They checked the car over and found excessive play in the driver's side output shaft (axel). They advised me i would need a new transmission.…

    1999 honda accord ex v6 auto transmission failure. Began upon return from 100k service by honda dealership. Erratic shifting/slipping occurs. Upon further inspection, fluid leaks at various points of the under chassis. My accord has only been serviced by a honda service dept. Was informed by tech that a "faulty" carrier bearing was noted. A "refurb" tranny install was reccommended ($3000) instead of replacing the…

    The transmission in my 1999 honda accord ex v-6 failed on february 26, 2004. The car has 66,800 miles on it. It does not make sense to me why there has not been an extended warranty implemented on this model year as there has been on the 2000-2001 accord and the '99-'01 odyssey. After speaking with the shop foreman at my honda dealer and him revealing to me that they perform approximately 3-5 transmission…

The complaint i have is that the automatic transmission is failing with only 60,000 miles on the car.

    The automatic transmission does not shift correctly. The problem i am having is that the engine speeds up and then the transmission shift into gear. The causes the tires to break loose causing the car to loose traction and when the tires regain their grip on the road the car darts out into traffic. *jb

    Automatic transmission failure at 53k!. Transmission suddenly jerked car forward at stop light forcing it into intersection. Dealership diagnosed as a transmission failure and that it needs to be replaced. No extended warrant from honda for '99 models. Unless honda takes care of its defective parts it will be my last honda. Very dangerous situation! *jb
