While driving 20 mph, the automatic transmission did not shift properly. *jb the consumer was informed that the new transmissions have updated carrier bearings. The original transmission had defective carrier bearings which spread metal debris throughout the transmission and caused the failure. The consumer sent a petition letter but did no received any notification from odi whether it was received or what possible…

1999 honda accord, transmission failed after only 59,000 miles! Engine light came on only 5 miles before i took it to authorized honda dealer who deemed it unsafe to drive! I do not have all the service records but i know i did take it for every single service suggested in the manual. Not only does honda know about this problem (it extended the warranty on 2000 and 2001 models, which are identical to the 1999) but…

I first noticed a difference in my 99 accord coupe v6 transmission when it was cold out. The car jerked between 1st and 2nd gear. It ran fine once the car warmed up. When i called honda to ask about the issue, i was told older cars do that and it was nothing to worry about. About a month and a half later the transmission started jerking between 3rd and 4th when below 40 mph. My car then would not leave a stopped…

1999 honda accord needed transmission replaced at 40,000 and now is having problems again at 46,000 miles. A replacement is needed. Car is slow to move in 1st and does not shift properly. Hard to get moving with traffic and is dangerous when fast acceleration is needed in traffic. *la

I have a 1999 honda accord v6 ex sedan. It currently has approximately 56,000 miles on it, and much to my surprise the vehicle has required a new transmission @ 55,000. Apparently this is a common problem with this vehicle and is mentioned on many internet forums. The cost of replacing this tranmission is rather substantial. The 00-01 models have an extended warranty from honda on the transmission for 7 years and…

Accord 1999 ex-v6 transmission sometimes shifts hard and 4th gear slips and shudders, also unexpected harsh downshifts or erratic shifting. Suspect the problem to be similar to model year 2000 and 2001, but no recall issued for 1999.

The automatic transmission stalls for 2 or 3 seconds and there is a lost of power before the car begins to move forward. Near accident when trying to merge on the interstate. Dealership advised that this is a common problem on honda accord v6 coupes with automatic transmissions. There is a recall for later models but not for 1999 year models. Dealership offered to replace transmission with a rebuilt for $ 3,000. The…

Every time i would accelerate, my car would stall then the car would give a strong jerk.i took the car to honda and they told me it was ok, and they could not diagnose any problems. There is a recall for later models but not for 1999 year models. After repeated attempts at the dealership, they offered to replace transmission for a ridiculous charge of ~$ 5,000 since my warranty period had passed.why does honda issue…

Intermittently, the transmission is slow to engage from reverse to drive. Also the transmission will slip while up shifiting, causing the car to stall and then jerk into gear. When down shifiting, the car would stall when shifting from 3rd to 2nd gear. The dealer states that the transmission is defecvtive and needs to be replaced. Honda has extended the warranties on the 2000/01 model years which have the same v6…

1999 honda accord v-6 automatic transmission failed at 51,000 miles. This appears to be common for this model car. I believe honda should order a recall for this transmission or offer to extend the warranty from the current 36,000 miles. *la

Reoccuring transmission problems. Glad i bought the 100k warranty...changed once at 60k due to bearing failure...now at 75k the center between the back seats get very, very hot and starting to feel slipping...again. Looks like another trip to the dealer for another transmission. I don't feel safe...especially when i commute 75 miles a day with a 13 month old baby.

Have been having transmission problems and am seeing a trend to others having similar problems. The dealer quoted $8000 new or $3327 for used. I don't think we should be having transmission problems on a car that is 3 years old. Anyone else having problems? *ph
