1999 Honda Accord transmission complaints
Page 4 of 9: complaints 71 to 100 of 246, newest first, as owners wrote them.
A few weeks ago I was driving and my transmission started to shift erratically through 1st,2nd,and 3rd without a change in speed. Later that same day the transmission would not shift into the following gear resulting in the RPM's to increase follow by it jamming it into gear. The car must no be replaced with a used or new transmission and I was quoted $3000+ to get this done. After alot of reading around and investigating this problem I have learned that this is very common and the 00-01 accords have a recall for the exact same transmission. My car has 155k miles on it but I have all the service records and car has been very well maintained. I just think it is outrageous that there is no way for honda to split the cost at the least.
Started seeing transmission fluid on lt side under vehicle. Had seal replaced by local trans ship. Two weeks later fluid leaking again. Researched and found recall on 2000 and up for bad bearing causing this exact problem and honda's extended warranty on those vehicles. Took vehicle to rt.23 honda and they advised that even though this was the same problem the only item that the honda field service manager would only allow the part only. I would have to pay the $1000 labor. I requested the field manager's name but brad morder (service writer at rt.23 honda) refused to give it to me. I lodged a complaint with honda (case #12006-04-250-0809)that was handled by chris martinez of honda (x-118183) who stated that he did not want to discuss the particulars and that he had no authority to change the decision of the field manager. Again, when I asked for the name of the field manager mr. Martinez would not give it to me. When I asked him for his superior's name so that I could escalate this matter, he advised that his decision was final and there was no other recourse I could take. Any help you could furnish would be appreciated. C. O. Heine.
1. Transmission fluid started leaking on 99 accord ex with >92100 miles. Eskridge honda tightened boxton bolt. Leaking got worst. Took car back 2 days later. Eskridge stated a new transmission would be required because the inspection revealed that it was the same transmission problems experienced by other models -- 00-0 models where honda USA provided an extended warranty to replace those transmissions. 2. From my research, other consumers have been experiencing similar transmission problems on their 99 hondas, but there's been no recalls. 3. Since I view it as a safety issue, I plan to pay if necessary to replace it, since I don't want my 16-yr son driving an unsafe vehicle. 4. Is nhsta aware of this problem on the 99 hondas? If so, what's the status of your actions in getting honda USA to extend the warranty for 99 hondas.
At 99k miles the transmission started slipping. The car jumps forward on the second shift. Dealer advises to replace transmission cost $3800.
The transmission slips, shudders, free spins, and shifts very erratic. It started suddenly just out of no where. This transmission isn't very good, and honda is denying any defects in it. Its really messed up how honda is treating customers who have come to love honda cars.
1999 honda accord ex v6 automatic transmission issue. Vehicle purchased sept 2000 with approx 15k miles. Vehicle began having problems with the transmission not engaging after throttle had been pressed at approx 42k miles. Bad hesitation, and on an almost daily basis. Press on the gas, the engine revs, but vehicle barely moves and when it does engage it is very harsh. Dangerous trying to enter freeways, pass other vehicles or cross streets/intersections. The basic honda warranty of only 3/yr 36k miles had already lapsed. Transmission fluid had been changed in aug 2002 with 31k miles. Again changed(drain/fill) in june 2004 with 46k miles and again in sept 2006 with 61k miles. Honda transmission fluid used.
1999 honda accord v-6, 90k miles. In july, 2005. I started noticing a whistling sound when the engine was on and the ABS and other dash lights would come on and off sporadically. During normal maintenance, I inquired about the noise and dash light problem. Nothing was found wrong. The dash lights have been coming on and off ever since. Today when the car was cranked, it made a louder than normal whistling sound. After driving if for 1/2 a mile the noise stopped. The next time I drove the car, it stopped accelerating and acted as though it was going to cut off. I parked it and attempted to crank it again but the battery was dead. After recharging the battery, it still could not accelerate. I had it towed to the honda dealership. After inspection, I was told that the transmission would have to be replaced. After researching the internet, I realized that many others with 99 accords have experienced the same problems. Considering this is the 3rd honda I have purchased (the transmission had to be replaced on my 93 honda also) it appears to be a problem that needs to be addressed.
I bought a honda accord from crown auto in oxnard california in april of 2005. Four months later my transmission gave out and it was replaced in august of 2005 , now it is february and my transmission is giving out .
I have a 1999 honda accord ex v-6 that I have taken to the service dept for maintenance by the book. Today I found out my transmission has failed and it will cost $4200 to repair. I have read the emails of hondas with the same problem. Why is there no recall for the transmissions? I did everything according to honda and now my beloved vehicle has failed me. I have been a true honda person. This is my third honda.
I have a 99 honda accord ex v6 and found out recently that the transmission had to be replaced. It was having serious shifting problems and the check engine light came on. The hadn't even hit 90,000 miles yet. When I went in to honda to see what the light was on for it turns out it was a "torque converter clutch system failure" and the transmission would have to be replaced. Honda told me it was no longer under warranty (3yr, 36k mi warranty) so they claim they couldn't replace it. It shouldn't matter if it isn't under warranty. No one purchases a car, new or used, to have to get a whole new transmission before the car even makes it to 100,000 miles. Besides the major mechanical purchase, honda's faulty transmissions are a safety hazard. I can't recall how many times I've practically been ran off the road by tractor trailers because my car couldn't shift and accelerate fast enough to get onto the highway. Honda should be ashamed of themselves. Does it really take someone to die before they try to remedy the situation?
I am writing to express dissatisfaction with my 1999 honda accord ex v6,[xxx]. About a week ago my check engine light came on. I checked the code and it indicated torque converter clutch malfunction. The car was shifting and driving fine, so I brought it in to the honda dealer to get the transmission fluid changed. I cleared the error, but it came right back on. The car was shifting and driving fine. Today on my way to work at 75 MPH at highway speeds, it shifted in to second and stayed there. You can imagine what that did to rpms! Now it won't go in to reverse or any other forward gear but second. I called my honda dealer and they said I'm looking at a transmission replacement. $2950 just for the parts (doesn't include labor). That comes with a 36,000 mile warranty that I will easily use up in one year due to my long commute. Being that the car has 136,000 miles on it, I figured it was highly regrettable, but understandable. Until I started looking online! I suggest you check out this thread! Http://www.autofan.com/forum_thread.asp?message=3625 this appears to be very widespread. There are people on that post with 72,000 miles and three dealer replacements, some with six dealer replacements. My big worry now, after reading so many other experiences, is that I'll replace the transmission and be buying another $3000 transmission a year later. *nm updated 07/17/2012 *js information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)
1999 honda accord failed transmission. No transportation for a month dealer estimate for repair $4000.00. I feel this is not fair honda recalled every year of this same model after my car. There need to be so just or a class action suit.
I have a 1999 honda accord dx sedan. The clutch went out recently. According to honda, they have a service bulletin out for this problem. However, honda says this problem is due to faulty manufacturing from a vendor at original assembly. Instead of repair or replace the part that is faulty the whole clutch assembly must be replaced due to new manufacturing and design specs. So instead of a cost of @ $150.00 it will cost me @ $500.00. Plus there are no assemblies available - it's back ordered due to the demand of this assembly because of the failure of the original. As of this time - even though honda freely admits the to bad manufacturing -they are offering no reimbursement or offer no assistance for a rental car. I've been without a vehicle for 3 weeks with no repair date in sight.
One day while driving down a busy 3 lane highway my honda would not go forward any more. No matter how hard I pressed the gas it would no longer accelerate. I could put the car in neutral or reverse, but in drive I could not get it to go above 10 MPH. I immediately recognized that it was the transmission and took it to a transmission place who told me honda has an extended warranty for 98-2000 accords under 100,000 miles, and they will replace your transmission. Since my car only had 80,000 miles, I called the service station, made an appointment and told them that it was the transmission. They told me okay, but there would be a $95 fee if it wasn't the transmission. They called me later that day, and said my VIN# didn't match the recall, so sorry. I called american honda, and they said I should not have been given that information, and there was nothing they could do. I stated so what you are telling me is that in 98,99 & 00, you put bad transmissions in your accords, I have a bad transmission in my accord, but I'm not covered??? To which they replied yes.
Honda accord 99 v6 transmission failed, speed 10 MPH while it's 6000 RPM, almost caused an accident, very dangerous, it's 2nd transmission. The 1st transmission failed at about 70k miles, and the 2nd failed at 82k.
I have had a transmission failure in my honda accord. When I took it to a mechanic in parkville, missouri, he checked the transmission fluid and found it black. He flushed the transmission, put new fluid in, and changed a filter behind the glove compartment. He told me that honda from 98 to 2002 had transmission problems. He told me to drive the car for a few days and see if that didn't fix it. I could tell as I drove home that it was not fixed. The mechanic said that a new transmission would cost 1,600 to 1,800 dollars. Since I have had to get a new engine in my accord or my lemon, three new batteries, and now a new transmission and it is not already paid for because I leased it and am in the process of buying it, I need all the help I can get.
Transmission slips and will not go into gear. Only 55,000 miles on the vehicle and we strictly adhered to the maintenance schedules. Based on research on the web, this is quite common but honda is not standing behind the transmission failures. Honda recognized the issues with the 2000-2003 accord transmissions but failed to include the 1999's when their is obviously widespread problems with them.
The vehicle was parked in the driveway which is very steep. The consumers husband had come home and found the vehicle in the woods beside the driveway. The problem could not be duplicated. *ak the emergency brake was engaged and the vehicle appeared to be in park. The consumer requested reimbursement for the deductible and the rental car expense. Also the key was able to be removed while the vehicle was in gear. Recall campaign# 05v025000.
Transmission failure - 1999 accord ex in mint condition, perfect maintenance records and the transmission begins to fail ,out of the blue, at 71,000 miles. The car shifts and lurches in 1st, 2nd and third gear. Also, noticable loss of overall power or torque in the cars performance. This is my third accord and first automatic. Honda will only pay for part of the repair. I hope by writing this I help others with the same problem. I am being forced to negotiate the repair cost with the local honda dealership. I am asking free parts, free labor and free rental car. They came back with a reduced cost of $1200 dollars and no mention of the rental car. I am really disappointed in honda, I am a loyal customer and promoter of the brand name. I expect restution if they finally recall this position.
Auto transmission started shifting hard within the first year and now jerks abruptly between first & second gear. Reddell honda (murfreesboro, tn) has examined the car and recommended a new transmission. The service advisor also did not recommend traveling due to the risk of being stranded. Accurate automotive's (lavergne, tn) gary gray, service advisor, stated that he has seen this problem alot with this car. I have an acquaintance with the same car (1998), who replaced the transmission year ago, only to have the beginnings of the problem again.
Vehicle experienced a problem with the transmission. Vehicle hesitiates when put into gear. Owner contacted the manufacturer, but had not received any assistance.
1999 honda accord transmission failure the transmission is hesitating at shift points and shifts harshly when finally shifts. I brought my car into my local dealer who determined the transmission is in need of replacement at a cost of $4280.00. I have since contacted honda's customer service. They have agreed to cover the cost of the transmission but expect me to cover the cost of labor, totaling $863.00. In my research I have found that honda motor corp.has extended the warranties on five models of vehicles built from 2000 thru 2002 but not 1999 year.
Transmission fails to downshift properly. Honda fails to acknowledge their mistake, and its unfortunate that consumers like myself should pay for their mistake.
Vehicle hesitated and jerked. Consumer made contact with the dealer, and was told that transmission was not covered under warranty.
While driving, the vehicle did not change gears or gain speed. The dealership serviced the vehicle and noticed that the transmission needed to be replaced. *ak
The transmission was slipping. The gears were defective and the fluid was discolored.
While driving at 36 MPH, the vehicle suddenly jerked forward, followed by a metal to metal noise. The driver coasted the vehicle to a stop, then had the vehicle towed to a dealership. The dealership flushed the transmission because the fluid was burnt, but the metal noise was still present. A diagnostic test was performed. The front pump was found to be the main cause of the failure. Excessive metal was also found in transmission pan as well as fluid and the forward drum was damaged. A re manufactured transmission with a torque converter was installed. *jb no recall pertaining to this vehicle found.
1 auotmatic transmission shifting differently 2 transmission will not shift untill car is completely warmed up 3 no parts replaced yet.
My 1999 accord has 70,000 orginal miles on it. Then one day the gears stated slipping and within a week the check engine light came on. Dealership recommends new transmission for $4000. But dosen't know why tranmission has failed. Still working with dealership on repair.
