I own a 2001 honda accord which has been experiencing problems at 70,000 miles with the transmission slipping and not shifting smoothly. My research has indicated that this is a common problem but honda has only recalled 2003-2004 accords even though they have the same transmission. I am very dissatisfied with this reliability issue considering i bought the accord for its reliability. *tr

On january 21, 2010 i bought a 2001 honda accord ex from a private party. I have owned honda vehicles all my life; the dependability is a major reason why. After owning the vehicle for almost 1 year, the transmission started giving me problems. The transmission would slip out of gear and not engage. It would eventually not work all together. I took the vehicle into my local automobile shop and to my surprise they…

In recent months the transmission in my 2001 honda accord has been slipping. Diagnostic at honda dealers shows the transmission needs replacement. They are asking for $3,350 to replace the transmission even though they are well aware that this year's model has a defective transmission. The bay area manager was consulted and he refuses to replace the transmission or even offer the repair at a reduced rate, he simply…

My car suddenly started to stop shifting into gear. Driving, it would slip out of gear and i would have to shift it into another gear to get it to move. This would fail and i would shift it into another gear. Starting from red light--10 to 15 seconds with no response from car--very dangerous situation to be in. Took to honda dealer--needed a new transmission--cost $3,400. Ridiculous. Car has only 58,000 miles on it.…

On several occasions prior to august, 2010, i have parked the vehicle, exited the vehicle, locked the doors and returned from my errand, only to find that the vehicle had been left in gear.

The transmission in my honda accord 2001 has been faulty for at least 2 years now. There was a recall on the transmission but the recall expired according to honda. There is no option but to fix the transmission if it blows and that's basically what i'm waiting for. Honda has not guaranteed that if the transmission is fixed, it will not happen again. I took my car into a honda dealership twice for airbag recalls and…

There have been several recalls for different honda vehicles with this problem: the mechanism that locks the key in the ignition while the vehicles are in gear can wear out. When that happens, drivers are able to remove keys without shifting into park. I can take the key out without the car being in park. There have been no injuries to date. I have been trying to make sure that i put the emergency brake on everytime…

In 2006 honda issued an extended warranty on the transmission due to the many complaints/failures. Shortly thereafter we started experiencing slipping/missing gears and took it to klein honda in everett where we purchased it. They ran the diagnostic and told us that it wasn't bad enough to warrant a replacement. Since then it has slowly gotten worse to the point where it is becoming a safety issue because we never…

I had transmission replaced at 60,000 miles 2 months after i purchased it. Paul moak pontiac in jackson, ms supposedly put a new transmission in the vehicle. I never really felt that it operated correctly. How could it if honda made all these transmissions. Now 7 years later, october 2012, i have another code or automatic transaxle problem. Ridiculous. I just bought another used 2000 honda accord and i pray that i…
