I am very upset and hope there is a recall on these transmissions....or at least compensate…

    Transmission slips and lurches. Requested dealer service and adjustment. Fluids replaced, but no service performed. Service manager evasive and mis-leading. Made appointment for adjustment, fluid and filter change, dealer did just one. Fluid was not burnt or discolored. Problem persists. Warranty extension should be ordered expanded to include 1999 model. *nlm

Every time i would accelerate, when my car shifted from first to second gear, the car would give a strong jerk, one that was strong enough to shake the coins in the coin holder. I took the car to honda and they told me it was ok, and they could not…

    Power train: automatic transmission - accord 1999 ex-v6 transmission shifts hard and sometimes it even slips (pauses when shifting gear). Suspect the problem to be similar to model year 2000 and 2001, but no recall issued for 1999.

    The transmisson shifts hard. Sometimes it even slips. It started doing it few months ago. Right know my car has about 80000 miles on it. Honda has a recall on 2000 but since it is a 1999 they are making a excuss. My older 91 accord was perfect till 250,000 miles . I guess with this kinda quality this will be my last honda ever.

    There is a clunking sound and vibration in steering, the wheel definitely is not turning at the same speed as the others. This is a known problem with honda transmission yet no service bulliten can be found on the accord.honda is well aware of this problem but is still asking owners to pay for the cost to replace transmission with rebuild.*ak
