Car would not accelerate when in gear. I left the car at the dealer and got a call the next day that it was a bad transmission and honda would replace it for free.

Oh, the 2nd transmission is starting to have show problems also…

1. Bought the 01 honda accord lx 4 cyl from duval honda in jacksonville fl, with the transmission barely slipping. 2. The transmission slips for about 5 to 8 seconds between gears and knocks in and out of gear. 3. Nothing done to fix it. Tried changing the transmission fluid but that doesn't help. I heard that honda of america will pay for the transmission but not the labor. Is this true? *nm

Honda accord 2001 ex coupe (automatic transmission) i have a huge transmission problem in which the gears slip before catching. The result is an unexpected bang feeling and an abnormally fast acceleration time which for sure will cause an accident one day.

2001 honda accord, 95,000 miles. Transmission started slipping so much so it could have caused an accident. They checked and at first didn't find anything. Left the car for timing belt replacement and the next day they found the tranny problem. Since it's under the 100,000 mark, i'm covered. Thank goodness. The tranny i'm getting may be a rebuilt tranny and it seems the warranty on it may only be for 12,000 miles. I…
