WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR & WOULD NOT ENGAGE RIGHT AWAY CAUSING A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE PERSON DRIVING BEHIND ME ALMOST HIT ME FROM BEHIND & BECAME VERY ANGRY BECAUSE I COULDN'T CHANGE LANES QUICK ENOUGH TO GET OUT OF THE WAY DUE TO HEAVY TRAFFIC. NOW THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS WHEN IT TRIES TO SHIFT BETWEEN GEARS AT LOWER SPEEDS (IT IS AN AUTOMATIC) OR MAKES A HARD CLUNK WHEN PUTTING INTO DRIVE. *TR

BOUGHT THE CAR NEW IN 2001 FROM JOHN EAGLE HONDA CLEAR LAKE. THE FIRST TRANSMISSION GAVE OUT AT 37400 MILES DUE TO A DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION. CAR TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY STARTED MAKING NOISE AND SLIPPING BETWEEN GEARS. HONDA PLACED VEHICLE ON THEIR COMPUTER AND RECEIVED AN ERROR MESSAGE. WE WERE TOLD A NEW TRANSMISSION WAS ONLY SOLUTION. THE SAME ERROR MESSAGE CAME UP ON THE "NEW" TRANSMISSION. WE WERE TOLD TO TRY HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR ASSISTANCE, WHICH TOLD US THE SOLUTION, WAS TOTALLY UP TO THE DEALERSHIP. WE WAITED FOR OVER TWO WEEKS FOR [XXX]TO CALL; I HAD TO CALL HIM AGAIN TODAY TO GET HIS REPLY. THE CLEAR LAKE HONDA DEALERSHIP THAT WE HAVE BEEN GOING TO SINCE 1997 SAYS THEIR "HANDS ARE TIED". [XXX] THE SERVICE MANAGER STATES HE TALKED TO VERNON SAGE, DISTRICT MANAGER, AND STATES THEY HAVE NO TRANSMISSIONS TO CORRECT ANOTHER DEFECTED TRANSMISSION BUT THEY CAN SELL ME A NEW ONE??!! THIS IS AN ISSUE OF SAFETY NOT JUST COST AND IT IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE THAT HONDA CANNOT HONOR THEIR MISTAKE. IF THIS TRANSMISSION WOULD GO OUT WHILE ON A HIGHWAY THERE COULD BE A REAL TRAGEDY. THEY KNOWINGLY REPLACED TRANSMISSIONS WITH THE SAME DEFECT. THIS CAR IS DRIVEN 90 PERCENT ON THE HIGHWAY AND WELLS MAINTAINED W/THE SAME HONDA DEALER. THERE IS NO REASON THAT THIS CAR SHOULD NEED TWO TRANSMISSIONS WITHIN ONLY 112000 MILES. THE DEALER PASSES THE PROBLEM TO HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE, WHICH IN TURN HANDS THE PROBLEM BACK OVER TO THE DEALER. IT SHOULD BE A CRIME TO KNOW OF A FAILURE THAT COULD CAUSE A MAJOR TRAGEDY AND NOT HONOR OR ACCEPT YOUR MISTAKE AND MAKE IT RIGHT. THIS IS AN ISSUE CAUSED 100% BY A KNOWN DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION THAT HONDA AND THE DEALERSHIP ARE COMPLETELY AWARE OF. THERE ARE ENTIRELY TOO MANY OTHER HONDA OWNERS WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SECOND TRANSMISSION. THERE IS NOT ANY "GOODWILL" FROM HONDA BY PUTTING IN THE SAME DEFECT. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

HE IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, WHERE HE WAS INFORMED HONDA PUBLISHED A SERVICE BULLETIN ON FEB 5, 2088 REGARDING A WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR A FAULTY OPDS SENSOR.

I HAD TRANSMISSION REPLACED AT 60,000 MILES 2 MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED IT. PAUL MOAK PONTIAC IN JACKSON, MS SUPPOSEDLY PUT A NEW TRANSMISSION IN THE VEHICLE. I NEVER REALLY FELT THAT IT OPERATED CORRECTLY. HOW COULD IT IF HONDA MADE ALL THESE TRANSMISSIONS. NOW 7 YEARS LATER, OCTOBER 2012, I HAVE ANOTHER CODE OR AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE PROBLEM. RIDICULOUS. I JUST BOUGHT ANOTHER USED 2000 HONDA ACCORD AND I PRAY THAT I DON'T ENCOUNTER THIS SAME ISSUE. *TR

THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON IN MY ACCORD, MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY RUN A TEST ON IT. TOLD ME THAT IF IT WAS THE AIR-BAG THAT WAS CAUSING THE LIGHT TO COME ON THEN IT WOULD BE FIXED AT NO COST DUE TO A SAFETY MALFUNCTION, THEY RUN THE TEST AND IT CAME BACK THAT IT WAS THE WIRES LEADING TO THE AIR BAG BUT NOT THE ACTUAL BAG ITSELF HAVING THE PROBLEM. BUT THEY TOLD ME THAT IF THE SRS LIGHT WAS ON AT ALL THE AIR BAGS WOULD NOT DEPLOY AT ALL. SO IS THAT NOT A SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL? *TR

I BROUGHT IN MY 2001 HONDA ACCORD EX TO MY LONG-TERM HONDA DEALER (I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE AUTO), BECAUSE I NOTICED THAT MY TRANSMISSION SEEMED TO BE ACTING UP. THEY INFORMED ME THAT A NEW TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE INSTALLED (APPX. $4800). I FOUND MYSELF IN A PREDICAMENT BECAUSE THE KBBV WAS ONLY BETWEEN $4000-$5500. I WAS NOT PLEASED THAT A HONDA COULD NEED A NEW TRANNY WITH THAT LOW MILEAGE (WE MOVED TO HOLLAND FOR FOUR YEARS AND THE CAR SAT DURING THE '01- PRESENT). BUT, I LOOKED AT MY SERVICE RECORDS AND NOTICED THAT HONDA HAD ALREADY INSTALLED A 2ND TRANSMISSION IN 2003. WHAT? THIS NOW MEANS THAT THIS NEW ONE WOULD BE THE THIRD TRANSMISSION IN A CAR WITH 69,900 HIGHWAY MILES.?!?!?! HONDA AMERICA, ALONG WITH MY DEALER, SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO AS THE TIME WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED (7 YEARS, 8 MONTHS THEY SAID THEY EXTENDED IT TO BECAUSE THERE WERE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS YEAR'S TRANSMISSION. I EXPLAINED, "OKAY, FINE, THEN NATURALLY WE MUST TAKE BOTH TRANSMISSIONS THAT HAVE FAILED AND ADD THE YEARS=APPX. 11.6-12 YEARS. NOW, THE MILEAGE AND THE TIME SHOULD BE COVERED. THEY MUST NEED AN ABBASID BECAUSE MY MATH DID NOT COMPUTE WITH THEM. WHY AM I WRITING? I READ ONLINE THAT THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF THESE FAULTY CARS ON THE ROAD AND LAST SATURDAY WHEN WE WERE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, IT TURNED GREEN, I PRESSED DOWN ON THE PEDAL, AND NOTHING; NO MOVEMENT. WE WERE THEN, VERY LIGHTLY BECAUSE THE LIGHT HAD JUST CHANGED, HIT IN THE BACK. MY 5 AND 9 YEAR OLD SONS WERE IN THEIR CAR SEATS AND WERE VERY FRIGHTENED AND UPSET. HONDA AMERICA IS AWARE OF THIS FAULTY DESIGN AND YET REFUSES TO OFFER A HONEST AND GOODWILL SAFETY/SERVICE RECALL. WHAT IF THE ACCIDENT HAD BEEN WORSE AND MY DEALER HAD KEPT THEIR KNOWLEDGE OF THE POSSIBLE ACCIDENT TO THEMSELVES JUST TO MAKE $5000? I BELIEVE EACH OF MY CHILDREN WOULD BE WORTH MORE THAN $2500 APIECE! *TR

MY MOTHER HAD PICKED UP MY NIECE FROM HER SCHOOL AND WAS WAITING FOR MY NEPHEW AND HIS FRIEND TO GET OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL. WHEN READY TO GO, THE CAR WAS DIFFICULT TO START. TOOK ABOUT 10 MIN TO GET THE CAR TO START. AFTER THE CAR STARTED, WENT INTO REVERSE AND BACKED OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE. PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND IT "CHUGGED" A COUPLE OF TIMES. THEN THE CAR ACCELERATED UNEXPECTEDLY. SHE WAS UNABLE TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN BY APPLYING THE BRAKES. THE CAR TRAVELED 460 FEET ACCELERATING THE WHOLE TIME.THE APPROXIMATE SPEED OF THE CAR WAS BETWEEN 60-80 MPH. AT THE END OF THE PARKING LOT, SHE TURNED LEFT AND THE CAR HIT A CURB LAUNCHING THEM INTO A POLE THAT HOLDS UP THE CHAIN LINK FENCING AROUND THE SCHOOL. THEY WENT THRU THE FENCING AND INTO THE BLOCK WALL BEHIND IT COMING TO REST THERE. ALL 4 OCCUPANTS WERE SEEN BY A DOCTOR AND RELEASED THAT DAY. MY MOTHER HAS NUMEROUS CUTS AND BRUISES. MY NEPHEW SHOULDER AND BACK ARE HURTING HIM. MY NIECE HAS SCRAPES ON THE RIGHT ARM FROM THE BLOCK WALL. MY NEPHEWS FRIEND HAS A BLACK EYE. *TR

IN 2006 HONDA ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE TRANSMISSION DUE TO THE MANY COMPLAINTS/FAILURES. SHORTLY THEREAFTER WE STARTED EXPERIENCING SLIPPING/MISSING GEARS AND TOOK IT TO KLEIN HONDA IN EVERETT WHERE WE PURCHASED IT. THEY RAN THE DIAGNOSTIC AND TOLD US THAT IT WASN'T BAD ENOUGH TO WARRANT A REPLACEMENT. SINCE THEN IT HAS SLOWLY GOTTEN WORSE TO THE POINT WHERE IT IS BECOMING A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE WE NEVER REALLY KNOW IF IT IS GOING TO CATCH AND ACTUALLY GO OR WHEN IT WILL JUST DECIDE TO STALL. NOW OF COURSE IT IS PAST THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THE DEALER REFUSES TO FIX IT. *TR

WHEN COMING TO A STOP THE CAR DID NOT DOWN SHIFT TO FIRST GEAR. WHEN THE GAS WAS APPLIED IT BANGED INTO FIRST GEAR. I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALER WHO DOUBLE DRAINED AND REFILLED THE TRANSMISSION. IT WORKED GREAT FOR A FEW DAYS AND NOW SLIPS AND SHIFTS AT WILL. I AM TOLD IT NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION. THE HONDA DEALER ASKED AMERICAN HONDA TO PARTICIPATE FINANCIALLY IN THE REPAIR. AMERICAN HONDA DECLINED. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THE PREMATURE FAILURE FINDINGS OR THE CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW AND HAVE MAINTAINED IT ACCORDING TO MANUFACTURERS RECOMMENDATIONS. THE CAR IS NOW NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AS THE TRANSMISSION CAN FAIL AT ANY TIME WITH NO WARNING. I THINK AMERICAN HONDA SHOULD PARTICIPATE IN THE COST OF REPAIR AS THEY HAVE WITH SO MANY THOUSANDS OF SIMILAR VEHICLES. *TR

SAFETY RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK IT TO DEALER. CODE 15-3 OPDS ASY. THEY RESET CODE AS PER DIAG. SHEET. THEY TOLD ME TO DRIVE IT AND IF IT RECODES THEN I WILL NEED TO HAVE THE OPDS ASY REPLACED. THE SRS LIGHT DID COME BACK ON. I HAVE SEARCH THE INTERNET AND HAVE SEEN MANY, MANY HONDA OWNERS COMPLAIN OF THIS SAME PROBLEM. IT IS A VERY EXPENSIVE PART TO REPLACE (APPROX $700 FOR THE PART ALONE). OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM WITH THE WAY THE CAR WAS MADE. HONDA OWNERS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE THIS FIXED IF IT IS A CHRONIC PROBLEM WITH A LOT OF HONDA CARS. *TR

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW IN NOVEMBER 2001. I NOTICED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT CORRECTLY FROM 1ST TO 2ND AND READ SOME COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. THE PROBLEM HAS PERSISTED SINCE AND HAS GOTTEN WORSE AS IT GETS OLDER. PLEASE ADVISE OF ANY KIND OF RECOURSE I MAY HAVE SHOULD A TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT BE NECESSARY. I DID HAVE ONE SOLENOID ON THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED A YEAR OR SO AGO AS WELL AS A MOTOR MOUNT. *TR

I DON'T KNOW WHO TO CONTACT. I HAD A AIR BAG RE-CALL. I TOOK INTO HONDA DEALERSHIP TO REPAIR. IM PHYSICALLY DISABLED AND IN A LOT OF PHYSICAL PAIN. IT TOOK THEM A LONG TIME JUST TO TAKE ME OVER TO SHOP AND WAIT AND THEN TAKE ME TO HOUSE AND THEN I HAD TO GET PICKED UP AND WAIT ON CAR AGAIN ETC. THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS OFF BUT AFTER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME BACK ON AGAIN. I CANT PHYSICALLY GO THROUGH THAT AGAIN. I WILL CONTACT THE ADA BUT DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS AS THEY DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS IS NOT MY FAULT AND I SHOULDN'T SUFFER FOR THEIR MISTAKE. ITS THE SAME LIGHT AND IN THE SAME SPOT. THANK YOU *TR

I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW IN 2001 FROM A HONDA DEALERSHIP. A COUPLE OF YEARS LATER, THE TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED. I CALLED THE HONDA DEALERSHIP WHERE I HAD BOUGHT THE CAR AND THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THIS GENERATION HAD A KNOWN TRANSMISSION DEFECT. THEY REPAIRED MY CAR FOR FREE BECAUSE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AT THE TIME AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION NOW HAD AN EXTENDED 7YEAR/109,000MILE WARRANTY. ON JULY 15TH, 2012, I WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY 101S AT 65MPH WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT SUDDENLY CAME ON. I NOTICED A SLIGHT LOSS IN POWER, BUT MY CAR DID NOT DIE OUT. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON. THE NEXT DAY, I DECIDED TO TEST DRIVE THE CAR AGAIN TO SEE IF THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS A ONE TIME OCCURRENCE. I STARTED UP THE CAR, PUT IT IN REVERSE, AND THEN TO DRIVE. THERE WAS A SUDDEN DELAYED JERK FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE. I MANAGED TO PLUG IN A CODE READER INTO THE CAR'S COMPUTER PORT AND PULLED UP TWO CODES: P0700 AND P0740. BOTH OF THESE CODES ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THE TRANSMISSION. NOT AGAIN?!?! MY CAR HAS NOW EXCEEDED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND I AM AFRAID THAT HONDA WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIRS. I READ ON SEVERAL FORUMS THAT THIS HAS ALSO OCCURRED TO HONDA OWNERS WHERE THE DEALERSHIP HAS REFUSED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE EXPIRED EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE. *TR
