Transmission failure. Had intermittent problems that could not be diagnosed when under 100000 miles. Transmission finally failed at 108,500 miles. Dealership & american honda have only offered 50% discount on a known problem with their cars. I feel they should be responsible for entire cost. They were using a cop out to not honor their product. I am only a little over their extended coverage offer. Also, they stated…

Pcm was giving off false error codes, dealer was the first to bring up problem after recalled transmission was installed. Dealer did not acknowledge that it was a dealer's problem. Pcm will create the check engine light to go off, and will appear at various times of operation. Has caused me to constantly go to dealer and various mechanic shops to get error codes erased. Car with check engine light will not pass smog…

Around 55,000 miles vehicle developed an abnormal muffled knocking sound on right front corner at speeds above 30mph. Got progressively louder as miles wore on. Honda dealer blamed it on a right front wheel bearing and i had it replaced. Sound was still there. Had an independent shop lift the car up and run it to determine mechanical clacking sounds came from automatic transmission. Finally convinced honda dealer it…

Gears started slipping on 2001 accord ex around 80,000. I had fluid changed often and last changed at 105,000 and gears are still slipping. Car jerks really bad and 2nd gear changes harshly. I can't afford another car now but when i am able to get another car, it won't be a honda. This 7th generation of accords 1998-2002 are the worst. I'm not sure what honda has done. I also hear that the 2003-2005 are experiencing…

My 2001 accord is experiencing transmission problems at 79k000. It exhibits erratic and slippage when accelerating and the obdii indicates a a/t problem.

However, when i inspected the transmission closer, in my opinion it looks like the transmission was never replaced. The dealer upgraded…

I bought a pre owned certified 2001 honda accord with 60k miles on it for a little over market value because i believe in honda products. At approx. 70k miles the transmission failed and was replaced by the dealer with a remanufactured trans. I was told only a limited 12/12 warranty was being issued for this and that if trans failed outside of the warranty extension i would be out of luck. Currently the vehicle has…

I have a 2001 honda accord v6 sedan. I had purchased it around july of 2001 and the transmission had failed on the car about 4 times.

I called honda of america the last time when the…

In 2003, i bought a 2001 honda accord from prime honda (then known as clair). After having the car for less than a month, i noticed that the car wasn't shifting out of gear properly. I took it back to the dealership who told me they couldn't find the problem. The gear shifting/slipping continued and every time i went in for service and told them, they claimed they could never find the problem. I even mentioned to…

Our automatic transmission began acting up by "lurching" when we came to a rolling stop. We had the car checked by our two regular mechanics and they suggested we take it back to ellena honda here in lawrence where it was purchased since it was still under warranty. Honda checked it and said they would replace the transmission. This is to be done next monday. I am very disappointed since i thought honda was a brand…

2001 honda accord v6 transmission, replaced twice - with only 59,000 miles on the car. I want honda to compensate me with a new vehicle. This is just absurd - they keep re-installing defective transmissions. Total cost is roughly around $12,000 - that's what i owe left on my loan. *jb

On 4/4/03 a loud thud came from the transmission and the check engine light came on and the d4 on the shift indicator started to blink. I shut off the car and restarted. The shift indicator stopped blinking but the car would shift very hard. I took it to honda and they warranted the transmission because the car only had 65000 miles they also gave me a rental. I would like to know if the root cause of this problem…
