POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WHILE DRIVING OUR 2003 HONDA ACCORD, THE TRANSMISSION WOULDN'T SHIFT TO SECOND GEAR GIVING A BURNT SMELL. WE CALLED THE DEALER AND HE SAID THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED REPLACED. WE HAD THE CAR SERVICED AT REGULAR INTERVALS AND WE ALSO FOUND THAT WITH THIS MODEL THERE SEEMS TO BE AN UNUSUAL HIGH NUMBER OF TRANSMISSION FAILURES. I FEEL THAT IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR WE ARE ON THE HIGHWAY DAILY. HONDA HAD A RECALL TO PUT AN OIL SPRAY KIT ON THIS MODEL, BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T SHIFT INTO SECOND GEAR. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM MAGNIFIED. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
DRIVING 2003 HONDA ACCORD AT 70 MPH ON FREEWAY. SUDDENLY CAR JERKS AND STARTS LOOSING POWER. EVEN TRIED ACCELERATING BUT THE VEHICLE KEPT LOOSING POWER. WAS LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO MOVE TO THE FAR RIGHT LANE AS THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC BEHIND ME. AFTER THE CAR SPEED DROPPED TO 50 MPH THE CAR STARTED RUNNING OK. EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM EVERY TIME REACHED SPEED OF 70 MPH. AFTER THIS HAPPENED, EVEN AT SLOW SPEED THE VEHICLE REPEATED THIS BEHAVIOR. DID NOT SEE THIS PROBLEM FOR A FEW DAYS AND THEN SUDDENLY HAPPENED AGAIN. ON RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET, REALIZED THAT THERE ARE MANY MORE PEOPLE THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM AND HONDA HAS NOT STEPPED UP TO ACKNOWLEDGE OR REPAIR THE ISSUE. THE SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER AT HIGH SPEED IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IF YOU HAVE OTHER VEHICLE BEHIND YOU. HONDA SEEMS TO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THEIR TRANSMISSION BUT DON'T WANT TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY TO REPAIR IT. THIS WILL BE MY LAST HONDA. I CURRENTLY OWN A HONDA ACCORD AND A 2004 HONDA PILOT. WILL BE TRADING EACH OF THEM IN FOR A DIFFERENT VEHICLE MANUFACTURER. IF HONDA DOES NOT CARE FOR THE SAFETY OF ITS CUSTOMERS, WHY SHOULD CUSTOMERS STAY LOYAL TO HONDA. WILL NOT BE BUYING ONE GOING FORWARD AND WILL RECOMMEND ALL EXTENDED FAMILY MEMBERS TO NEVER BUY ONE. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
2003 HONDA ACCORD EX V6 MODEL TRANSMISSION FAILURE. CAR PURCHASED END OF 2002. APPROXIMATELY 22K MILES AFTER PURCHASE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. WOULD NOT GO INTO GEAR AFTER WARMING UP. STOP CAR AND RESTART IT WOULD SHIFT PROPERLY FOR A FEW MINUTES BEFORE SLIPPING OUT OF GEAR AGAIN. ACCORDING TO DEALER PROBLEM CAUSED BY SEAL BROKEN DOWN CLOGGING TRANSMISSION FILTER. TODAY, 110K MILES ON CAR (90K ON TRANSMISSION), SAME EXACT PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS TIME WHILE DRIVING ON I-4 IN ORLANDO. NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AS THE CAR VIOLENTLY DOWNSHIFTED. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND MY MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THE COMPUTER CODES AS SOLENOID PROBLEMS. HE CLEARED THE ERRORS AND CAR DROVE FINE AGAIN FOR A FEW MINUTES BEFORE BEGINNING TO LURCH UP AND DOWN GEARS AGAIN. LUCKILY THIS WAS IN A MORE CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT. THIS IS A TERRIBLE SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IT CAN HAPPEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND CAUSES THE CAR TO LURCH VIOLENTLY. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
2003 HONDA ACCORD EX THE KEY CANNOT BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION UNLESS THE CAR IS FORCED HARD INTO PARK. WHEN RUNNING, IF THE CAR IS PLACED IN PARK, THE CAR WILL NOT STAY PARKED AND BEGINS TO MOVE FORWARD. PLACING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON HOLDS THE CAR IF THE CAR TRIES TO MOVE WHILE IN PARK. THE PROBLEM OCCURS ONE HUNDRED PERCENT OF THE TIME AND HAS BEEN OCCURRING ON MY VEHICLE FOR TWO MONTHS. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
OUR ACCORD HAS ~74,000 MILES AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS STARTING TO SLIP. I NOTICED THAT WHEN I WOULD ACCELERATE, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT, AND THE TACHOMETER WOULD GO HIGH (HIGH RPMS). I WOULD HAVE TO EASE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS TO LET THE RPMS DECREASE AND THE TRANSMISSION TO KICK IN. THIS WENT ON FOR A FEW WEEKS BEFORE I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER THAT DOES MY SERVICING, AND THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD COST: - $5,400 FOR THE TRANSMISSION - $500 FOR BRAKES - $400 TO REPLACE A HEAT SHIELD THAT IS LOOSE THE MECHANIC SAID THAT IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE A CAR WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN ITS CURRENT STATE I PURCHASED A 100,000 MILE WARRANTY WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR (IT EXPIRED IN JANUARY). THIS IS A TOUGH PILL TO SWALLOW. I HAVE BEEN DILIGENT WITH SERVICING THE CAR, AND NOW I'M HIT UP FOR $6,300 DOLLARS IN REPAIR FOR A CAR WHOSE BLUE BOOK VALUE IS ~$9K. I LOOKED ONLINE AND SAW THAT THERE ARE AN UNUSUALLY LARGE NUMBER CASES OF WHERE THE 2003 ACCORD V6 TRANSMISSION FAILS EARLY. PER THE ADVICE ON THESE SITES; I CALLED HONDA AND ASKED FOR A GOODWILL REPAIR. THEY OFFERED TO REDUCE THE TRANSMISSION WORK TO $2,900, AND WOULD NOT ASSIST WITH THE BRAKES OR HEAT SHIELD. I HAVE NOT YET HAD THIS REPAIRED. HONDA SAID THEY DO NOT REPAIR THEIR TRANSMISSIONS; THE ONLY RECOURSE IS TO INSTALL A NEW ONE ($5,400). *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
2003 HONDA ACCORD. TRANSMISSION FAILED AND HAD TO BE REBUILT. TRANSMISSION, WHICH IS AN AUTOMATIC, WOULD SHIFT FROM A HIGHER GEAR TO A LOWER GEAR WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. AT TIMES THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT FUNCTION AT ALL AS IF IT WERE IN NEUTRAL. HAD TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN RESTART IT. THANKFULLY, I WAS IN A VERY RURAL AREA AND WAS ABLE TO DO THIS. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE SITUATION. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THIS IS THE 2ND COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE 2ND TRANSMISSION IN MY 2003 HONDA ACCORD. THIS CAR IS UNSAFE. THE TRANSMISSION LOCKS UP, WON'T SHIFT, LOSES POWER AND IS A HAZARD TO THE ROAD. I WON'T DRIVE BEHIND ONE AND I OWN ONE. I WON'T DRIVE MY CHILDREN IN THIS CAR. I WON'T GET IN THE CAR UNLESS I HAVE MY CELL PHONE WITH ME BECAUSE I RUN THE CHANCE OF NEEDING A TOW. YOU NEED TO START AN INVESTIGATION INTO THIS ENGINE BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED. PLEASE INITIATE ACTION ON THE SIDE OF THE CONSUMER, NOT BIG BUSINESS, AND PUBLICIZE AND ACT TOWARDS A RECALL OF THIS MODEL/YEAR. IT'S YOUR CIVIC DUTY. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE WEEK PRIOR TO MY TRANSMISSIONS TOTALLY FAILING I BEGIN TO NOTICE HOW ROUGH IT WAS CHANGING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR. THE CAR BEGINS TO HESITATE BEFORE IT CHANGED GEARS AS IF IT WAS SLIPPING, I COULDN'T ACCEPT THE POSSIBILITY. IT WAS A 2003 HONDA (SUPPOSE TO BE A RELIABLE VEHICLE). TODAY I WAS ON THE EXPRESSWAY TAKING MY YOUNGEST SON TO SCHOOL AND THE CAR JERKED VIOLENTLY WHICH FRIGHTENED ME EXTREMELY BUT I MANAGED TO PULL IT TOGETHER AND TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND CUT ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS. DROVE THE CAR AT A VERY LOW SPEED SAFELY OFF THE HIGHWAY AND DROPPED MY SON OFF AT DAYCARE. I PUT THE CAR IN LOW GEAR AND CHANGED GEARS MANUALLY AND DROVE IT TO AAMCO. AFTER DIAGNOSTIC I WAS TOLD IT WAS MY TRANSMISSIONS AND IT WOULD COST $2800 - $3200 TO REPAIR. I JUST KNEW IT WAS A SENSOR OR COMPUTER ISSUE NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS I THOUGHT OR BELIEVED IT WAS MY TRANSMISSION. PREVIOUSLY OWNING TWO OTHER OLDER MODEL HONDA'S BEFORE AND PROVIDING PROPER MAINTENANCE TO THOSE VEHICLES AS WELL AS THIS ONE. HAVING DRIVEN BOTH OVER 200,000 AND NEVER NEEDING A MAJOR REPAIR LIKE A TRANSMISSIONS LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THIS WAS A DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION. MY BELIEFS LEAD TO DOING A LITTLE RESEARCH TO SEE IF HONDA ALREADY HAD A RECALL. TO MY DISBELIEF THERE WERE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS FROM PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME EXPERIENCE AND THEIR VEHICLE HAVING EVEN LESS MILES. THE SERIES OF EVENTS ARE TOO COMMON FOR THIS TO BE A COINCIDENCE. MY VEHICLE WILL BE TOWED TO A HONDA DEALER IN THE MORNING. I WILL BE SUBMITTING A COMPLAINT WITH THEM AS WELL. PLEASE DO THE RIGHT THING AND INVESTIGATE THE ISSUE. HARD WORKING PEOPLE DON'T DESERVE TO BITE THE EXPENSE OF REPAIRING SOMETHING THAT'S CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING ISSUE. *TR

I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2003 HONDA ACCORD LX V6. SINCE OWNING THE ACCORD, I HAVE FOLLOWED THE OWNER'S MANUAL AND ALWAYS TAKE MY CAR TO THE DEALER FOR OIL CHANGE AND ROUTINE MAINTENANCE DUE TO THE SUGGESTION OF THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. AFTER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED LAST YEAR, I EXPERIENCED SOME PROBLEMS WHEN I WAS DRIVING. THE CAR WOULD JERK SUDDENLY WHILE CRUISING NORMALLY. I BROUGHT IT TO MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR'S TRANSMISSION AND THAT IT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED FOR $4000. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THIS ISN'T JUST A RARE PROBLEM. IN FACT, THERE ARE HUNDREDS, IF NOT MORE, PEOPLE WHO HAVE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH THEIR 2003 HONDA ACCORDS. ONLY MORE THAN 40,000 MILES AND LESS THAN 10 YEARS, THE TRANSMISSION WENT BAD EVEN WHEN THE CAR WAS KEPT IN VERY GOOD CONDITION AND MAINTAINED ACCORDINGLY. NOW THE TRANSMISSION IS CURRENTLY BEING REBUILT. *TR
