POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY 2001 HONDA 6-CYL EX EXPERIENCES TRANSMISSION SLIPPING BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND GEARS, ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING APPROXIMATELY BETWEEN 25-35 MPH. SYMPTOM IS MOST FREQUENT DURING A DECELERATION BETWEEN SECOND AND FIRST GEARS. SYMPTOM FIRST STARTED AT 80K MILES AND HAS GRADUALLY WORSENED (CAR NOW HAS ~120K MILES). I WAS DOING ALL REGULAR HONDA MAJOR SERVICES AT HONDA DEALER, AND THEY DID NOT EVEN FIND PROBLEM AND ENGINE SAFETY MEASURES. HONDA MENTIONED THAT IF GO WITH ALL RECOMMENDED SERVICES MY ENGINE LIFE AND FATY WILL BE INCREASED. I SPEND LOT OF MONEY ON RECOMMENDED REGULAR SERVICES FROM HONDA. REPORTED THIS TO DEALER AND HONDA NATIONAL OFFICE; THEY DID "REPLICATE" THE SYMPTOM. HONDA?S RESPONSE: DUE TO THE FREQUENT NATURE OF THIS PROBLEM HONDA OFFERED A TRANSMISSION WARRANTY TO 100K MILES. I WAS NOT INFORMED BY HONDA OF THIS WARRANTY EXTENSION UNTIL I ASKED TO CHECK AGAIN 120 MILES SERVICE. HONDA SAID YOUR ONLY OPTION IS TO BUY A NEW HONDA OR A NEW TRANSMISSION. I ALWAYS THOUGHT IF I GIVE SERVICING AT DEALER THEY WILL CHECK ENGINE AND DEFECTS PROPERLY BUT SEEMS LIKE THERE IS NO GUARANTEE IN THAT. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY 2001 HONDA 4-CYL EX REPEATEDLY EXPERIENCES TRANSMISSION SLIPPING BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND GEARS, ESPECIALLY WHEN DECELERATING AND RE-ACCELERATING (E.G., IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC OR WHEN DESCENDING ON A PARKING GARAGE RAMP AND THEN REACCELERATING ONCE ON THE PARKING LEVEL). SYMPTOMS CAN INCLUDE A NEUTRAL IDLE FOLLOWED BY SUDDEN LURCH, TO NO TRACTION AND A RACING OF THE MOTOR WHILE THE VEHICLE "HUNTS" FOR TRANSMISSION ENGAGEMENT SOMEWHERE BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND GEAR BEFORE ENGAGING. SYMPTOM IS MOST FREQUENT DURING A DECELERATION BETWEEN SECOND AND FIRST GEARS. SYMPTOM FIRST STARTED AT ~100K MILES AND HAS GRADUALLY WORSENED (CAR NOW HAS ~118K MILES). I REPORTED THIS TO DEALER AND HONDA NATIONAL OFFICE; THEY DID "REPLICATE" THE SYMPTOM. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS TRANSMISSION PROBLEM OCCURS WITH THIS TRANSMISSION OVER TIME WHEN THE INTERNAL (NON-SERVICEABLE) TRANSMISSION FILTER STARTS TO CLOG AND STARVES 2ND GEAR OF FLUID DUE TO RESCUED FLOW CAN NOT SUFFICIENTLY LUBRICATE 2ND GEAR BECAUSE IT IS LOCATED HIGHER UP IN THE TRANSMISSION CASING COMPARED TO THE OTHER GEARS. HONDA?S RESPONSE: DUE TO THE FREQUENT NATURE OF THIS PROBLEM HONDA OFFERED A TRANSMISSION WARRANTY TO 100K MILES. I WAS NOT INFORMED BY HONDA OF THIS WARRANTY EXTENSION UNTIL MY CAR REACHED 118K MILES. HONDA SAID YOUR ONLY OPTION IS TO BUY A NEW HONDA OR A NEW TRANSMISSION. I SHOULD NOTE THAT THE NEW TRANSMISSION THAT WOULD BE PLACED IN THE CAR BY THE DEALER IS THE SAME FAULTY DESIGN WITH THE SAME FILTER CLOGGING 2ND GEAR FLUID STARVING ISSUES. HONDA OR A NEW TRANSMISSION. *TR

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
I OWN A 2001 HONDA ACCORD EX V6 SEDAN. THE SRS LIGHT ON IT WENT ON A FEW MONTHS AGO. IT ALWAYS STAYED ON CAUSING THE RISK OF AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOYING. AFTER DOING A LOT OF RESEARCH AND REPEATEDLY CHECKING FOR RECALLS, FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE HONDA VEHICLES. I FINALLY WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAD IT FIXED. THEY MENTIONED THAT THE DRIVER SEATBELT BUCKLE WAS CAUSING A SHORT CIRCUIT AND IT WAS COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL ISSUE, OR THE INFORMATION SHOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER COMMUNICATED TO THE CONSUMER. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, AIR BAGS
ONE YEAR AGO I PURCHASED A 2001 HONDA ACCORD AT THE TIME IT HAD 106,000 MILES ON IT. I HADN'T HAD THE CAR A WEEK WHEN I NOTICED THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING. THE PROBLEM HAS CONTINUALLY GOTTEN WORSE. I CHECKED ONLINE TO SEE IF THEY HAD ANY RECALLS ETC. ON THIS MODEL AND SURE ENOUGH HONDA SAID THEY WOULD REPLACE THE TRANSMISSIONS UP TO 100,000 MILES - SO HERE I AM A YEAR LATER LOOKING AT $2,000 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION. IN ADDITION MY PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT CONTINUALLY COMES ON FOR NOW APPARENT REASON, EVEN IF THERE IS NO ONE SITTING IN THE SEAT. I ALSO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE WINDOW ON THE PASSENGER SIDE; THE "PART" THAT HOLDS THE WINDOW UP SOMEHOW BROKE AND TO REPLACE IT COSTS OVER $200. AND FINALLY (WELL I HOPE) MY BRAKES SEEM TO HAVE A MIND OF THEIR OWN, AT TIMES THEY MAKE FUNNY NOISES, SOMETIMES THEY FEEL LIKE THEY AREN'T GOING TO WORK. IF SEEMS AS IF ITS NOT ONE THING ITS ANOTHER. VERY FRUSTRATED. AND NOW ANOTHER RECALL. *TR
