POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
2003 HONDA ACCORD WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. HAD OCCASIONAL PROBLEMS WITH TRANSMISSION FAILING TO SHIFT FROM 2ND TO 3RD. PROBLEM WOULDN'T REPEAT WHEN LOCAL HONDA DEALER CHECKED IT. TRANSMISSION FAILED ON 12 FEBRUARY 2009 WHEN THE TRANSMISSION WOULDN'T SHIFT OUT OF 2ND. FORTUNATELY, THIS OCCURRED RIGHT AFTER I EXITED A FREEWAY OR I COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I WAS IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ON A SIDE ROAD AND WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY PROCEED HOME. I HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED AT A HONDA DEALER. HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE WOULDN'T REIMBURSE FOR ANY OF THE COST ($ 3014) DESPITE THE FACT THAT IT IS WELL KNOWN THAT THIS MODEL HAS SERIOUS TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. *TR

JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE WHO OWNS A 2003 ACCORD, I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND MY TRANSMISSION VIOLENTLY DOWN SHIFTED. FORTUNATELY I WAS NOT IN TRAFFIC BECAUSE I WAS TRAVELING 65 M.P.H. AND WITH IN A MATTER OF SECONDS THE CAR DOWN SHIFTS AND I AM GOING 20 M.P.H. AFTER BARELY MAKING IT TO THE DEALER THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION AND IT WOULD COST $4600. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM AND IT IS CRAZY HOW THIS IS NOT A SAFETY RECALL YET. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAVE A 2003 HONDA ACCORD V6 COUPE. MY TRANSMISSION BEGAN SLIPPING AT 20 - 25 MPH. THE CAR WOULD LOSE POWER, RPM'S WOULD REV VERY HIGH AND THEN SHIFT VIOLENTLY INTO THIRD GEAR. I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT MY TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED. IT HAD 82,017 MILES ON THE CAR AND HAD BEEN VERY WELL MAINTAINED. THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED - TOTAL COST $2600. HONDA AGREED TO PAY FOR HALF THE COST, ONLY AFTER I THREATENED TO PICKET THEIR DEALERSHIP. THIS TRANSMISSION IS DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
2003 HONDA ACCORD EX W/V6 - TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT 102,800 MILES THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN SLIPPING - HAPPENED TWICE AND I BROUGHT IT TO MY REGULAR MECHANIC FOR INSPECTION. HE INFORMED ME OF A WELL KNOW PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSIONS HONDA USED IN THE ACCORDS FROM THE EARLY 2000S (MY 2003 INCLUDED). HE TOLD ME IT WAS GOING TO FAIL - IT WOULD JUST BE A MATTER OF TIME. SO ON THE WAY HOME FROM THE APPOINTMENT THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT CAME ON AND THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN SLIPPING BETWEEN 2ND AND 3RD SO BADLY THAT THE CAR WAS UNDRIVABLE. IN BETWEEN THE SLIPS THE MOTOR WOULD REV UP TO 4500 RPM - SO I IMMEDIATELY PARKED IT. AFTER A LITTLE RESEARCH I DISCOVERED I AM ONE OF MANY WITH THE SAME ISSUE - AND THAT HONDA HAS REFUSED TO RECALL THESE TRANSMISSIONS DUE TO "A SAFETY ISSUE" - WELL FOR THE FOLKS THAT HAVE LOCKED UP AND ONE FROM 45 TO 20 - IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE! I CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA IN CA AND REQUESTED ASSISTANCE (GOODWILL REPAIR - PARTIAL AT LEAST) AND THEY ARE IN THE PROCESS OF LOOKING AT IT - AFTER A COST OF $92.00 TO DIAGNOSE. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I AM THE OWNER OF A 2003 HONDA ACCORD EX V6 WITH 105,000 MILES. ON MARCH 31, 2009 I WAS TAKING MY SON TO SCHOOL AT APPROX. 8:05AM. WHILE TRAVELING DOWN A BUSY TWO LANE ROAD AT APPROX. 45MPH CAR JERKED HARD TWICE BEFORE COMING TO AN ABRUPT STOP. CARS HAD TO BRAKE AND VEER OFF SIDE OF ROAD TO AVOID HITTING US. THIS WAS TERRIFYING AND WE COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN HURT OR KILLED. HAD CAR TOWED HOME. CONTACTED TRUSTED MECHANIC WHO ADVISED OF RECALL ON TRANS. AND HIGH FAILURE RATE ON THIS SPECIFIC TRAN. RECOMMENDED I CONTACT AMERICAN HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE TO CHECK STATUS OF RECALL, FOUND OUT IT WAS COMPLETED ON MAY 9, 2005 AND THEY ONLY COVER RECALLS ONCE. MECHANIC THEN ADVISED ME TO CALL BACK AND ASK FOR GOODWILL REPAIR SINCE THIS WILL BE ABOUT A $3000 REPAIR. DID THIS ON APRIL 3, 2009, RETOLD INFORMATION TO CYNTHIA WHO ASKED WHAT ACTION I WAS REQUESTING FROM AMERICAN HONDA. WHEN I REQUESTED A GOODWILL REPAIR SHE BECAME UPSET AND THE TONE OF THE CALL BECAME HOSTILE. QUOTING CYNTHIA, "GOODWILL REPAIR? WHAT IS THAT? DID YOU READ THAT ON SOME BLOG SOMEWHERE? WHO TOLD YOU TO ASK FOR THAT? GOODWILL REPAIR IS NOT LAYMANS TERMS, SOMEONE HAD TO TELL YOU TO ASK FOR THAT. WHO WAS IT? YOUR MECHANIC?". VERY INSULTING TO ME, ESPECIALLY SINCE I WAS AND HAD BEEN VERY POLITE DURING THE WHOLE CONVERSATION. GAVE ME CASE NUMBER AND TOLD ME TO WAIT FOR A CALL FROM A REGIONAL CASE MANAGER. STILL WAITING. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON A FRIDAY @ APPROX. 5:30PM ON A BUSY 2 LANE STREET AT APPROX. 40MPH MY CAR SUDDENLY JERKED HARD AND REDUCED SPEED TO APPROX 5-10MPH. I COULD NOT ACCELERATE PEOPLE WERE HOOKING AND SWERVING AROUND ME WHILE I TRIED TO GET OVER BUT COULD NOT REACH SPEEDS OVER 25-30MPH. HAVE COME TO FIND THE TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED AND A REBUILT TRANSMISSION WOULD COST APPROX. $3800-$4200 ACCORDING TO HONDA DEALERSHIP. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO PAY FOR ANY REPAIR AT THIS TIME. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
APPROXIMATELY 1 1/2 WEEKS AGO MY 2003 HONDA STARTED REVVING UP BETWEEN 2ND AND 3RD GEAR. I TOOK IT TO A DEALER ON MARCH 24TH WHERE THEY FLUSHED THE TRANSMISSION 3 TIMES AND CHANGED THE FLUID INFORMING ME THAT THERE WAS METAL IN THE PAN AND THE FLUID LOOKED "BURNT." AFTER CHANGING IT THEY SAID IT MAY BE OK AND THEN IT MAY NOT BE. I CALLED HONDA AND INFORMED THEM OF THIS ISSUE. THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT. TODAY, MARCH 31, 2009 MY 2003 HONDA ACCORD TRANSMISSION FAILED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY LEAVING ME STRANDED WITH 18-WHEELER TRUCKS FLYING PAST ME!!!! THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED WITH HONDA IMMEDIATELY! *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TRANSMISSION ON 2003 ACCORD V6 AUTO 116,000 MILES. SLIPPED GEAR WENT FROM 65 MPH TO 20 ON INTERSTATE WITHOUT ANY WARNING. HAD IT BEEN RUSH HOUR DURING THE WEEK I LIKELY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO SEND YOU THIS E-MAIL. IT TOOK 12 SECONDS TO FIND A LIST OF PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET WHO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE OR BE HURT FOR YOU TO ACT. FYI - I HAVE A MASTERS IN MECHANICAL ENGINEERING AND WORKED IN NUMEROUS FACTORIES. THIS WOULD NOT BE ACCEPTABLE WITH ASSEMBLY EQUIPMENT IN A CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT. WHY IS IT ACCEPTABLE IN A CAR? *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I BOUGHT THE CAR IN SUMMER OF 06 AND THE DEALER STATED IT WAS UNDER HONDA WARRANTY FOR 7 YEARS OR 100K MILES. 2 MONTHS LATER I STARTED HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS (CAR WOULDN'T SHIFT INTO HIGHER GEAR OR IT WOULD SLIP OUT OF GEAR TOTALLY). THE DEALER STATED THAT THE WARRANTY WAS NOT A HONDA EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT A 30 DAY LOT WARRANTY. AFTER MUCH COMPLAINING ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION AND J.R. HAM (THE SALES MGR WHO LIED ABOUT THE WARRANTY) THEY REPLACED THE DRIVE SHAFT AND THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO BE FIXED. I NOW AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND NOW THE CAR IS SLIPPING MORE VIOLENTLY IN AND OUT OF GEARS. IT IS NOW UNDRIVABLE AND IT REGULARLY SLIPS IN AND OUT OF GEAR MAKING IT UNDRIVEABLE. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
FAILED TRANSMISSION, CAR ONLY HAD 84,000 MILES ON IT AND WAS OVER THE WARRANTY. FILED A CLAIM WITH HONDA NORTH AMERICA. CAR STOPPED IN AN INTERSECTION WOULD NOT GO MORE THAN 20 MPH AND THEN ULTIMATELY WOULD NOT DRIVE AND WOULD NOT SHIFT GEARS. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. HONDA CORPORATE FINALLY AGREED TO PAY FOR ALL COSTS EXCEPT $300.00 WHICH I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR AND GAVE ME A 3 YEAR / 36,000 MILE WARRANTY ON THE REMANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION THAT THEY PLACED IN THE CAR. SINCE HAVING THE REMANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION PLACED IN MY VEHICLE I'VE ALREADY HAD ISSUES WITH IT. CAR STARTED SHOWING SIGNS OF SLIPPING AGAIN AND LIGHT WAS FLASHING NEXT TO THE "D" WHEN IT WAS IN DRIVE. JUST HAD TO TAKE THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER TO FIX THE 3RD GEAR PRESSURE SWITCH. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER EVERY WEEK FOR THE PAST 4 WEEKS. AWFUL!!! I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER HONDA AGAIN AND AM IN DISBELIEF THAT THESE FAULTY TRANSMISSIONS HAVEN'T BEEN ISSUED WITH A SAFETY RECALL. THIS IS IN FACT A SAFETY HAZARD! *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
IT'S PRETTY OBVIOUS BY NOW BASED ON THE PLETHORA OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE 2003 HONDA ACCORD V6 TRANSMISSION ISSUES. LIKE MANY OTHERS I WAS DRIVING MY CAR & I NOTICED IT STARTING TO REV UP TO HIGH RPMS AROUND 4K-5K & THEN SLAM INTO GEAR. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY SOMETHING WRONG WITH THESE HONDA TRANSMISSIONS. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 53,000 MILES ON IT & IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP LIKE MANY OF THE OTHERS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM, & WAS TOLD IT NEEDS AN ENTIRE NEW TRANSMISSION. THE COST TO ME WILL BE $3,600.00 I FILED A CASE WITH HONDA AMERICA & I'M WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM THEM IF THEY WILL COVER THE COSTS TO THIS REPAIR. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THIS PERTAINS TO OUR 2003 HONDA ACCORD, V-6, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, ON 3/20/09 MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE WHEN SHE EXPERIENCED A VERY RAPID AND UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION THAT LASTED FOR A COUPLE SECONDS AFTER SHE NUDGED THE ACCELERATOR. DESPITE HER SHOCK AT THIS EVENT SHE WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL AND PROCEEDED HOME WITHOUT ANY RECURRENCE. THE NEXT DAY I WAS DRIVING WITH MY WIFE AS A PASSENGER WHEN I EXPERIENCED THE SAME EVENT. I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE PROCEEDING AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH WHEN I MOVED TO THE RIGHT LANE TO GO AROUND A SLOWER VEHICLE. WHEN I LIGHTLY TOUCHED THE ACCELERATOR MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY LURCHED FORWARD AND CONTINUE TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY FOR A FEW SECONDS. I BRAKED AND MAINTAINED CONTROL AND AFTER A FEW SECONDS THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION AND I CONTINUED DRIVING. A FEW MINUTES LATER I AGAIN LIGHTLY TOUCHED THE ACCELERATOR AND THE CAR AGAIN ACCELERATED RAPIDLY (LURCHED AS IF IN OVERDRIVE) FOR A FEW SECONDS. I BRAKED TO SLOW THE VEHICLE, AND THEN I NOTICED THAT THE TACHOMETER WAS IN THE 5000 RPM RANGE WITH MY SPEED AT ABOUT 50 MPH. I NEXT STOPPED AT A LIGHT SIGNAL AND, UPON ACCELERATING FROM THE STOP, FOUND THAT MY CAR WAS NOT CHANGING GEARS AS SPEED INCREASED. IT SEEMED THAT I HAD LOST ONE AND PERHAPS TWO GEARS AND COULD NOT REASONABLY TRAVEL FASTER THAN 45 MPH WITH THE TACHOMETER READING 4500 RPM. I DROVE HOME AT A RELATIVELY SLOW PACE. ON 3/24/09 I TOOK THE CAR TO THE HONDA DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR. AT THAT TIME, WHEN I BACKED IT OUT OF THE GARAGE, I HAD DIFFICULTY GETTING THE VEHICLE INTO REVERSE. SINCE THEN THE HONDA DEALER HAS CONFIRMED A BREAKDOWN OF THE TRANSMISSION WITH A REPAIR BILL OF $3700. BASED ON MY WIFE'S AND MY EXPERIENCE I BELIEVE THIS RAPID, UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD EASILY RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT, AND THAT HONDA SHOULD ADDRESS THIS MATTER IMMEDIATELY AND BEAR ALL COSTS OF ANY REPAIRS. (I HAVE REPORTED THIS MATTER TO HONDA CORPS). *TR

I OWN A 2003 HONDA ACCORD THE TRANSMISSION WHEN OUT ON IT AT 73000 MILES I'VE MAINTENANCE REGULARLY DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL ON THE VEHICLE SINCE IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM? IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN THE CAR BRAKES DOWN IN TRAFFIC WITH TWO CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEAT WITH LITTLE WARNING! THE CAR WOULDN'T SHIFT INTO SECOND GEAR AND WHEN IT DID IT WOULD SLIP BACK OUT. THE DEALER IS TRYING TO GET GOODWILL REPAIR ON THE CAR MY THOUGHT IS WHY DON'T THEY COVER THERE MISTAKE? *TR

TRANSMISSION SLIPPING ON HONDA 2003 ACCORD. WENT TO DEALER WHO REPLACED 3RD PRESSURE SWITCH AND GASKET. WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW/REBUILT TRANSMISSION. DECLINED WORK AND WENT TO INTERNET FOR A CHEAPER REPAIR. WHEN SEARCHED 2003 HONDA TRANSMISSIONS NOTICED SEVERAL WEB SITES COMPLAINING OF THE SAME PROBLEM AS MINE. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A DEFECT THAT WARRANTS A RECALL WITH REPAIRS FIXED AND PAID FOR BY HONDA. *TR

THE HONDA ACCORD 2003 TRANSMISSION FAILURE APPEARS TO BE A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD. WHILE DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY, THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY SLIPPED. WITH DRIVERS CLOSE BEHIND, THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THE TRANSMISSION CONTINUED TO WORK AND THEN SLIP WHILE I TRIED TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY. THE REASON I'M FILING THIS SAFETY COMPLAINT IS THAT I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND IT SEEMS TO BE WIDESPREAD. THE 2000 AND 2001 TRANSMISSIONS HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT. I'M NOT SURE WHAT'S TAKING SO LONG. SOMETHING MUST BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT. *TR

I HAVE A 2003 HONDA ACCORD EX WITH THE 3.0L V-6. I AM EXPRESSING TOTAL LOSS OF POWER WITH MY TRANSMISSION. MY WIFE WAS GOING TO WORK ONE MORNING, THE CAR SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR AND SHE WAS STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF A 3 LANE HIGHWAY WITH NO EMERGENCY PULL OFF. THE CAR WAS GOING UP A SLOPE, SO IT COULD NOT COAST OUT OF THE WAY. I TOOK THE CAR TO A LOCAL TRANSMISSION, HE TOLD ME THE TRANSMISSION WAS SHOT AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I THEN PROCEEDED TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHICH QUOTED ME A PRICE OF $3500 TO REPAIR. THE REASON I WANT TO LET YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM IS FIRST OFF, ITS UNSAFE. SHE COULD HAVE GOTTEN INTO A WRECK AND HURT HERSELF. SECOND REASON, THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR CAR. THERE ARE LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE OF EXACTLY WHAT I DESCRIBED TO YOU. THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMS TO HAVE MADE A REPAIR BACK IN 2004, YET THE PROBLEM STILL CONTINUES. THE BEST CASE SCENARIO FOR ME IS THAT YOU HOLD HONDA LIABLE FOR THEIR KNOWN FAULTY TRANSMISSIONS. IT SHOULDN'T TAKE SOMEONE GETTING SERIOUSLY HURT OVER A KNOWN ISSUE. IN MY CASE I WAS LUCKY. THERE WAS A POLICE OFFICER BEHIND MY WIFE WHEN SHE HAD THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND HE WAS ABLE TO PREVENT ANY CARS FROM HITTING HER. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS, THE GEAR SHIFTER WAS PLACED INTO FIFTH GEAR. SUDDENLY, AN UNINTENDED HARD GEAR SHIFT OCCURRED BETWEEN THE SECOND AND THIRD GEARS. THE FAILURE OCCURRED SPORADICALLY AND WITHOUT WARNING. THE DRIVER PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF ROAD AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. AFTER WAITING A FEW MOMENTS, THE ENGINE RESTARTED AND RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE FAILURE RECURRED TEN ADDITIONAL TIMES. THE CONTACT SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 60,100.
