Vehicle: honda accord v6, 2004 problem: automatic transmission failed while on a busy street and nearly was rear ended and left me stranded on busy road. Honda is not admitting any fault at this moment when this model has a recall dated 2004 which i was not made aware of when the vehicle was worked on at their dealership in 2010. This defect is a safety issue because the transmission was dropping out of gear when on…

Transmission went out on 2004 honda accord with only 80k miles. Was on busy road and i was lucky that i wasn't hit as i jerked and slowed and sought a way to get to the side of the road. No indication the trans was failing until symptoms began and got worse in a hurry. Consequences are towing to shop and expensive repairs which are being made now. Honda said i had to bring it in to their shop and they had to do any…

Without warning my automatic transmission will slip out of gear. Doesn't seem to be related to speed or length of time driven. Just random. It could happen 20 times a day or not happen for weeks. I have contacted honda and they said it is not a recall issue, although i have found literally hundreds of the same complaint online. Was told that they might be able to offer me some assistance on repair, but not 100% and…

On december 28, 2010 i was driving my car through the windy and snowy back roads of the adirondacks when suddenly the car began to slowly decelerate.

I had to wait 35 minutes on the side of this road in the middle of nowhere for my car to be towed. I purchased this car new in 2004 and have been the only driver…

When starting, my 2004 accord, a green d light came on then the car began to drive very roughly and without power. It was then that i found out about the recall on certain cars of that year, for the same problem, however, my vin number was not included in the recall so the honda dealer said in essence too bad that doesn't effect your car because your vin wasn't included! Now i'm going to have to pay to replace a…

Just happened sept.5th. No action taken thus far.; 2004 honda accord accelerated w/o my foot on gas and then w/i a few minutes, it wouldn't go at all. 3 women stuck on major 2 lane highway on the way back from beach on labor day week-end.
