what a shocking news about Honda cars, I just bought 2004 accord from the auction. i drove it to honda dealer to check everything on the car, they said everything was good except some things like the timimg belt and pump that needed to be changed later. I was driving to work one afternoon when the car started losing presure. it stop acelerating only huming when you press the gas. but when you turn it off and start again, it will begin ti move for some time then starts the same thing. now i do not even know whether it is transmision. I hope to go back to the dealer again tomorow to see what the matter real is which I stronhly believe it is the transmision. I call AAA to tow the car home or else I will sleep on the way from work.

My Honda Accord V-6 2003 with 109,000 miles. One owner, that’s me. Regular oil change all these years, 95% of service done with Honda dealership. Today,, my car started “jolting” for lack of better terms) as I was driving on the bridge during rush hour.. It felt like someone was stepping on my breaks constantly. Drove with care with emergency lights on until I got to the nearest Honda Service, only to find out that the service place was under construction, and that they’ve temporarily moved to another city about 8 miles away. Called for emergency assistance to tow car to that Honda Service. I told them what happened and replied that the car might have a transmission issue. A SHOCKER!! They called later to inform that car needs transmission oil flushed out and replaced. Cost: over $250. They tested the car and it did ran without the “jolt” and they claimed that it did go on reverse. They said that by replacing the transmission oil, the car is” buying time” about 2 months, then maybe transmission will need replacement..

I own a 2003 Honda Accord Ex-V6 that I bought in late 2002; however, we may be divorcing soon. I did love this car and at 176k we have been through many miles together. I suspect a problem earlier on because of a small leak of red fluid on my garage floor. After some deductive reasoning (and some arguing with the tech’s at the local Honda dealer) I concluded it was transmission fluid. The small leak seemed to have gone away on it’s own, but the initial presence aroused my suspicion. I did the recall, which again alerted me to potential future problems. The car and the transmission seemed to operate very well until about 10k ago, when the third gear started to slip. I flushed the transmission twice within three months time and the problem seemed to go away. Today, I experienced what I read about above. The violent downshifting, the slipping between gears, and eventual stuck in first gear. Luckily, I got down the hwy safe and home safe. I am figuring out my next course of action. The car is in pretty good shape and I have maintained it well. I do have some other work that needs to be done, so I am estimating that work in addition to the potential 2k to 3k worth of tranny work. This is the first major issue that I have really had and overall the car has been great. I am stuck at the home, both at home and at my next course of action. After reading your post, perhaps Honda will kick-in for part of the repairs? I might try that route tomorrow. Any suggestions would be appreciated. toma30068 at yahoo. Thanks for the great info!!

I owned a 2000 accord coupe. This car had a transmission recall. Honda replaced it at no charge and about 18 months later that one failed. They paid for 90% of the cost of that one. So after 3 transmissions and after a laundry list of other very costly, unusual Honda problems, I traded in the obvious LEMON for a toyota. sorry to hear they have not got their act together since my daughter is considering buying a 2003 accord coupe from a small lot in our area.

2003 Honda Accord EX V6. Purchased car not longer than 3 months. Driving Route 78 back home from work, all the sun the car start acting crazy, Gears start changing down to first gear and kicking. never experience anything like it. I owned a Honda Civic before, never acted like that. Well same day good thing i was closed to the dealer where i purchased the car, dropped it for service. Lucky i got an extra insurance that was covered. The dealer service Manager Called me up and gave me the bud news that the transmission needs replace. Well they told me since i have only 3 months only driving the car they could replace it for free even if i didn’t have the insurance.
Well i thing HONDA should step in and take care everyones with such a problem.
