Automatic Transmission
Automatic transmission occasionally shifts violently (so violent that i at first assumed that the ignition had been turned off - i was doing up to 65 mph when this occurred). Problem is very intermittent - so the dealer has not been able to duplicate. I consider it a definite safety issue since i could easily be rear ended or lose control on snow or ice. Has happened 5 or 6 times since after delivery - every time on…

In november 2002, i discovered a problem with my automatic transmission in my 2001 honda accord. Subsequent to this date i had three transmission replacements, all unsuccessful. Two of my transmissions did not last longer than a week before they were diagnosed with transmission failure. Honda is unwilling to deal with this problem and has been difficult to reach. The service staff continually tries to tell me that…

My 2001 honda accord had a transmission failure in october 2002. The dealership put in a rebuilt transmission. In september 2003 the transmission failed again. Honda put in two more transmissions and they both failed immediately! Honda then put in a new computer module and that failed immediately too. Honda is not being very customer service oriented and will not take responsibility for their faulty product. We are…

Transmission, since day one, has always made a loud metal-to-metal clunking/popping noise at low speeds. Dealer advised there was no problem, was normal. Then at around 28k miles, it started shuddering and slipping on downshifts between 35-45mph. I then took it to right honda in scottsdale, and they then flushed the linear solenoid, and when i got it back, it was still was doing it. They then replaced the entire…

During a trip, the car began to have a rumble in the drivetrain. Expecially at a bout 40-45 mph. Took car to dealer and they told us that the differential was faulty and they needed to replace the transmission. They would only replace with a factory rebuilt, not new. No extension on warranty. This was the second one they had in a month. Transmissions had been on back order which sounds like they had more with…

While @ incline in drive the car quickly rolls back as if in neutral and does not stop unless you brake. I have taken the car to the honda dealer and they compared it to another on the lot. They said the one on the lot did the same thing so they determined it must be a characteristic of the vehicle. The tech said because it is a 4 cylinder it doesn't have enough torche to hold the weight. I also called american…

My 2001 accord has had a problem with the accelerator sticking since it was new. While it hasn't yet stuck open it does stick everday. It seems worse when it is first cranked in the morning, however, letting it warm up has not effect. This is especially dangerous in parking garages and lots. I have had this auto to apple tree honda on at least six occasions and they tell me they can't duplicate the problem. I have…

The first symptom was rough idling where the car has actually died several times. It has been into the dealer repeatedly since feb of 2002. They kept it for over a month one time to replace the transmission, but the same problem occurred, even when leaving the dealership. They had it in again in june & the problem is growing more intermittent, but i still think it is a flaw and possibly dangerous. Nlm

Transmission was just replaced with a re-built. In shop 9/4 through 9/7/02. I complained multiple times, starting 2nd day of ownership about "sluggish response". Pacific honda said it's a new car, give it time to limber-up. What a joke. Independent honda mechanic identified auto-trans problem. I requested new car - honda refused. I paid for a new car, and continue to make auto-payments for a new car, but have never…

Automatic Transmission · Exhaust System
This model honda makes a loud noise, coming from the underneath the car, when first started cold. The sound is more like a "thump" and is supspected (although i'm not certain) to be either the transmission or the exhaust system. I tried several different cars and the noise was consistent. The dealer tells me the noise is "normal" which is absurd. Honda has a recall pending on earlier model cars for an exhaust…
