POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF THIS CORRESPONDENCE IS TO REGISTER A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT OCCURRED TO MY HUSBAND AND I ON OCTOBER 3 2010, AT 4:40 PM. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, MY 2003 HONDA ACCORD HAD A TRANSMISSION FAILURE AND LOCKUP. WHILE MY HUSBAND AND I WERE TRAVELING SOUTH ON THE NJ TURNPIKE THE CAR SUDDENLY JERKED AS IF SOMEONE HAD JAMMED ON THE BRAKES. MY HUSBAND ATTEMPTED TO SLOW DOWN BY TAKING HIS FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL AND NOT TOUCH THE BRAKE. THE CAR VIOLENTLY JERKED AGAIN AS IT SLOWED DOWN. AS HE ATTEMPTED TO GET ONTO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD, THE CAR VIOLENTLY LURCHED TWICE MORE. WITH EACH OF THESE SUDDEN, UNEXPECTED, VIOLENT JERKS, WE WERE THROWN FORWARD. THANKFULLY, OUR SEATBELTS WERE ON, WHICH PREVENTED US FROM BEING THROWN FORWARD INTO THE WINDOW. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP REMEDY WAS TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION WITH A REBUILT ONE. THE OLD PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. ALTHOUGH THIS WAS THE FIRST AND ONLY TIME WE HAD ANY TROUBLE WITH THE TRANSMISSION, I THINK THIS IS SUCH A SERIOUS ISSUE WHICH, IF CIRCUMSTANCES WERE DIFFERENT, COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. *TR

THE NIGHT OF FEBRUARY 22 WHILE MY FAMILY AND I WERE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY OUR HONDA ACCORD 2003 TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTED VERY VIOLENTLY ALMOST CAUSING US TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. WE ALL YELLED AND HAD TO STOP THE CAR ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR A WHILE. IT WAS VERY SCARY! IT WAS LIKE THE CAR WAS UNMANAGEABLE AT THAT MOMENT. SOMEHOW MY HUSBAND MANAGED TO DRIVE THE CAR HOME VERY SLOWLY BECAUSE WE WERE CLOSE. THE NEXT DAY HE TOOK THE CAR TO THE HONDA DEALER. THEY TOLD US THAT THE TRANSMISSION LOOKED REALLY BAD AND NEED IT TO BE CHANGED, OF COURSE AFTER WE PAY THEM $4,080.12!!! WE HAVE TAKE GOOD CARE OF OUR CAR AND THIS IS TERRIBLE! NOW THE CAR IS INSIDE OUR GARAGE AND WE STILL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. TO OUR SURPRISE, AFTER GOOGLE ACCORD'S TRANSMISSIONS ON THE INTERNET, WE FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER HONDA OWNERS THAT EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. WE ARE SHOCKED BY HONDA'S LACK OF RESPONSIBILITY AND SUPPORT!! THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND WE BELIEVE THEY SHOULD CONSIDER PEOPLE COMPLAINTS AND RECALL THE CARS. IT WILL BE VERY SAD IF SOMEONE HAVE AN ACCIDENT AND DIE ON THE ROAD BECAUSE OF THE HONDA TRANSMISSION FAILURE. WE HOPE THAT THIS WILL BE INVESTIGATED AND FIXED BY HONDA. THANK YOU *TR

WAS DRIVING 55-60 MPH ON A CHICAGO EXPRESSWAY WHEN THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING AND CAUSED SUDDEN DECELERATION. I WAS EXTREMELY FRIGHTENED AS THE CAR STARTED LURCHING, SO I WEATHERED IT UNTIL I COULD GET TO A RAMP. AS IT WAS A SATURDAY NIGHT, NO DEALERS OR SHOPS WERE OPEN, SO I SURVIVED THE LURCHING ALL THE WAY HOME AND HAD MY HUSBAND REFILL THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. WE THEN GOT IT INTO A SHOP MONDAY ASAP AND GOT THE NEWS...BAD SOLENOID AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS BLOWN. TOTAL COST TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION = $3,232 AT 97,000 MILES. FYI: PREVIOUS CHECKUP ONE MONTH PRIOR REVEALED NO TRANS PROBLEMS, EXCEPT FOR BATTERY REPLACEMENT.

I HAVE OWNED A 2003 HONDA ACCORD SINCE NEW AND NOW HAVE 71,000 MILES ON IT AND TWICE I WAS NOTIFIED BY LETTER FROM HONDA OF POTENTIAL PROBLEMS. I HAVE ONE OF THE STATED PROBLEMS NOW BUT NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY THAT WAS EXTENDED IF IT OCCURRED. THE DISPLAY DOES NOT WORK FOR THE RADIO/HVAC SYSTEM. THE LOCAL DEALER FROM WHOM I BOUGHT THE CAR SAID TO DO SOME RESEARCH ABOUT THE PROBLEM. I HAVE. I AM NOT COMPETENT TO DO THE WORK AND THE PROBLEM IS EXPENSIVE TO REMEDY. I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO RESET THE CODE FOR THIS DEVICE TO OPERATE SHOULD THE BATTERY NEED TO BE DISCONNECTED BECAUSE THE LED DISPLAY DOES NOT WORK. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
27SEP04 I TOOK MY 2003 HONDA ACCORD IN TO FULLER HONDA IN CHULA VISTA, CA FOR RECALL WORK. THEY "INSTALLED AN OIL JET ON TRANSMISSION SECOND GEAR INSPECTION" UNDER THE RECALL. 22OCT09 MY 2003 HONDA ACCORD EXPERIENCED MULTIPLE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. WHILE LEAVING FROM WORK, I HAD DIFFICULTY GETTING MY VEHICLE INTO GEAR. EVENTUALLY I WAS ABLE TO GET IT INTO GEAR AND STARTED DRIVING HOME VIA A CALIFORNIA INTERSTATE DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. UPON ATTEMPTING TO MERGE ONTO THE INTERSTATE, MY HONDA WENT INTO "NEUTRAL" GEAR. ALL IT WOULD DO IS "REV" AND I COULD NOT GET IT TO GO INTO GEAR IN EITHER FORWARD OR REVERSE. NOW MY VEHICLE WAS STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF A SAN DIEGO INTERSTATE DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. SINCE I WAS UNABLE TO EXIT MY VEHICLE AS OTHER CARS WERE SPEEDING BY ON BOTH SIDES, I HAD TO CALL THE CHP FOR ASSISTANCE. CHP RESPONDED 45 MINUTES LATER AND ASSISTED IN TOWING MY HONDA TO THE SHOULDER. I THEN HAD MY HONDA TOWED TO THE CLOSEST HONDA DEALER. THE SERVICE CLERK APOLOGIZED FOR MY PROBLEM BUS FAILED TO MENTION ABOUT THIS TRANSMISSION PROBLEM BEING A COMMON ISSUE WITH 2003 HONDA ACCORDS. HE TOLD ME THAT SINCE THE TRANSMISSION SHOULD NOT HAVE FAILED WITH ONLY 70K MILES ON MY VEHICLE THAT HONDA WOULD PAY FOR 50% OF THE PARTS AND 25% OF THE LABOR. EVEN AFTER THE DISCOUNT, MY TOTAL CHARGE FOR REPLACING MY TRANSMISSION WAS $2531.31. MY NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE ON THE SAN DIEGO FREEWAYS WAS FREE OF CHARGE.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I OWN A 2003 HONDA ACCORD EX V6. THE CARS TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN SLIPPING FOR MONTHS NOW, AND HONDA HAS NOT EVEN OFFERED TO HELP CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I HAVE CALLED NUMEROUS TIMES, AND THEY SAY THAT UNTIL TOTAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE OCCURS, THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO ABOUT IT. NOW THE TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED, WHILE I HAD A CLIENT IN MY CAR LAST FRIDAY. WE WERE BOTH JOLTED FORWARD AS THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED OUT OF THIRD GEAR AND SUDDENLY THE ENGINE REVVED UP TO 7000 RPM'S. I APOLOGIZED TO HIM, DROPPED HIM OFF, AND BROUGHT IT STRAIGHT TO MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER. IF THIS HAD OCCURRED ON THE HIGHWAY, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUS DAMAGE OR INJURIES TO OTHER CARS OR DRIVERS. I NOTICED THERE IS A RECALL ON A PART IN THE TRANSMISSION, AND THIS HASN'T BEEN FIXED YET??? NOW I'M SEEING HUNDREDS OF OTHER PEOPLE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO, AND I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE!!! IF MY CLIENT OR I HAD BEEN INJURED IN AN ACCIDENT OCCURRING FROM THE FAULTY TRANSMISSION, THERE WOULD BE MULTIPLE LAWSUITS FILED WITH HONDA FOR NEGLIGENCE TO FIX THE PARTS. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY NHTSA AND HONDA IMMEDIATELY!!!! IF ANYONE CAN OFFER ME ADVICE, PLEASE DO. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WHILE DRIVING TO WORK WHICH IS ABOUT 10 MILES FROM HOME IN OUR 03 HONDA ACCORD EX, THE ENGINE STARTED TO REV UP AND THE CAR BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN THE MORE I TRIED TO GET IT TO MOVE THE WORSE GOT. WHEN I CALLED THE HONDA SERVICE DEPT. I WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CAR HAS 76000 MILES AND WAS TOLD THAT THE COST TO REPAIR WAS ABOUT 3800 DOLLARS FOR A REBUILT TRANS AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT BECAUSE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THIS TRANSMISSION SHOULD BE REPLACED BY HONDA AS THEY HAVE DONE IN OTHER YEARS BECAUSE IT IS A LIFE SAFETY ISSUE. I HOPE IT DOES NOT TAKE LOOSING A LIFE TO RESOLVE THIS MATTER. I WAS THANK FULL THAT I WASN'T DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY GOING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
2003 HONDA ACCORD V6: AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SLIPPING OUT OF GEAR; EITHER TO NEUTRAL AND REVING HIGH OR VIOLENTLY DOWNSHIFTING. IT HAS BEEN SLIGHTLY NOTICABLE FOR A WHILE BUT NOT ENOUGH TO THINK IT WAS DANGEROUS. THEN WITHIN THE PAST 2 WEEKS IT HAS BECOME MORE PRONOUNCED AND DANGEROUS. THIS OCCURED MULTIPLE TIMES ON ON THE HIGHWAY WITHIN A 15 MILES DRIVE. MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS WERE BARELY AVOIDED WHEN THE DOWNSHIFT OR SLIP WOULD OCCUR WITH OTHER TRAFFIC ON THE ROAD. I AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND OTHERS AS THIS WILL LIKELY LEAD TO COMPLETE TRANSMISSION FAILURE AND END WITH A CRASH. I HAVE NOT TAKEN ANY STEPS TO FIXING THIS YET BECASUE I KNOW I WILL BE TOLD I NEED TO BUY A NEW TRANSMISSION WHICH SEEMS UNREASONABLE WHEN A UNIVERSAL PROBLEM IS APPARENT AMONG THIS MODEL/YEAR OF CAR. *TR

I OWN A 2003 HONDA ACCORD AUTOMATIC, V6 AND IT HAS BEEN HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS FOR ABOUT A MONTH NOW AND HONDA HAS OFFERED ONLY FOR ME TO GO IN AND REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY FOR $4616. THIS ALL BEGAN SPONTANEOUSLY, A WEEK AFTER I WENT IN TO HONDA TO GET AN OIL CHANGE. THE CAR WILL NOT PASS 20MPH UNLESS IF YOU STEP ON THE GAS EXTREMELY HARD, A COUPLE OF TIMES. THIS NOW OCCURS EVERYDAY AND EVERYTIME I USE THE CAR TO GO ANYWHERE. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE IN THE MIDDLE OF POSSIBLY DOING 30MPH THE CAR WILL DROP DOWN TO 20MPH AND NOT WANT TO GO FASTER. *TR

PREMATURE TRANSMISSION FAILURE. TRANSMISSION BEGAN NOT GOING INTO GEAR COLD BUT AFTER WARMING UP SHIFTED NORMALLY. 2 DAYS LATER IT STARTED SLIPPING SO BAD IT BARELY MADE IT TO THE DEALER. THE NORMAL SERVICE INTERVAL FOR THIS TRANSMISSION IS 100,000 MILES SO I DON'T THINK IT SHOULD FAIL PRIOR TO REACHING THIS POINT. THERE WAS AT ONE POINT A TRANSMISSION RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE HOWEVER HONDA'S POSITION IS THAT THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FAILURE. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I FIND MANY HONDA OWNERS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT. WHEN SPEAKING WITH THE DEALER THEY INDICATED THEY WOULD CONTACT HONDA AND ASK FOR ASSISTANCE ON MY BEHALF.AS PER THE DEALER AFTER SPEAKING WITH HONDA THEY (HONDA) WOULD PICK UP 50% OF THE REPAIR WHICH WAS ACCEPTABLE TO ME BUT WHAT HAPPENS NOW IS THE DEALER UPS THE PRICE OF THE REPAIR TO $5000.00 AND I GET TO PAY $2500.00 WHICH IS WHAT THE NORMAL COST SHOULD BE. I RETIRED FROM THIS BUSINESS 2 YEARS AGO SO I AM PRETTY SAVY WHEN IT COMES TO PRICES. SEEING AS THERE ARE SO MANY WITH THE SAME PROBLEM HONDA SHOULD BE DOING ALL THESE REPAIRS FREE.
