1999 honda accord, transmission failed after only 59,000 miles! Engine light came on only 5 miles before I took it to authorized honda dealer who deemed it unsafe to drive! I do not have all the service records but I know I did take it for every single service suggested in the manual. Not only does honda know about this problem (it extended the warranty on 2000 and 2001 models, which are identical to the 1999) but just in my small town alone I personally know of 2 other people who had the same problem!after much pressing, honda agreed to pay for less than a third of the $5000.00 cost of new transmission big deal! Also they refused to pay for my rental (now going on 2 weeks)....it took them over w eek to respond to my complaint leaving me either driving an unsafe (in their words) car or renting 1!
1999 Honda Accord transmission complaints
Page 7 of 9: complaints 161 to 190 of 246, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Transmissions slips and shifts roughly and inconsistently. Warranty has been extended but only for '00 & '01 models. Same faulty transmission standard with 1999 accords. It is only a matter of time before people start getting hit and do the hitting as shifting becomes unpredictable.
Differential seals on 1999 honda accord exl are leaking.*mr (nar) transmission needs to be replaced.
Power train: automatic transmission - accord 1999 ex-v6 transmission shifts hard and sometimes it even slips (pauses when shifting gear). Suspect the problem to be similar to model year 2000 and 2001, but no recall issued for 1999.
1999 honda accord needed transmission replaced at 40,000 and now is having problems again at 46,000 miles. A replacement is needed. Car is slow to move in 1st and does not shift properly. Hard to get moving with traffic and is dangerous when fast acceleration is needed in traffic.
My honda accord lx 4dr 1999 model has transmission problem. It does not go little upslope on revese gear. I found lot of complaint on the web about reverse gear sleeping going upslope.
Intermittently, the transmission is slow to engage from reverse to drive. Also the transmission will slip while up shifiting, causing the car to stall and then jerk into gear. When down shifiting, the car would stall when shifting from 3rd to 2nd gear. The dealer states that the transmission is defecvtive and needs to be replaced. Honda has extended the warranties on the 2000/01 model years which have the same v6 automatic transmission, but not on the 99 hondas.
Automatic transmission failure.
While at slow speed the transmisson paused and kicked forward on a 1999 honda accord ex v6 with only 78,000 plus miles.
Transmission failure: harsh shifting. Car would rev and have trouble engaging into gear from to gear. Hit the gas pedal, but car would barely move . Very dangerous conditions!! Almost got into a car accident.
Owner states vehicle suffered sudden acceleration when shifted from park into reverse. Vehicle collided with two others vehicles. Please provide further information.
Engine light comes on every 500-600 miles. Schomp honda in denver said flush transmission. If that didn't work, there was a valve to replace in the transmission. If that didn't work, transmission replacement needed at $50,000. Transmission has been flushed, and the valve replaced (by kool honda, mccook, ne). This time the light came on about 1000 miles. This started before mileage was 47,000 miles. We bought the car used, and suspect the problem was apparent when the prior owner traded it in. Honda needs to respond to all the owners with transmission problems,by fixing/replacing the transmission at no cost to owners.
I purchased my 1999 honda accord ex-vl 3.0l v6... May 1999. There has been a slight jerk when the transmission shifted gears from day one. Honda says this is normal. Well several months ago it started to get worse and the transmission started leaking fluid at the left cv boot. I took it into the honda dealer and I was told that there is a roller bearing that is wearing out prematurely causing a slight vibration that causes the seal to leak. They said I needed a new transmission and it would cost $5,500 ++ to replace because it was no longer under warranty. (3 years or 30k miles) I have owned a honda for 17 years. I have a 1986 with over 250,000 miles and still going strong. I purchased this 1999 based on the hondas past history of quality. This may be the end of honda ownership for me if they don't replace this defective transmission.I have searched the internet and was overwhelmed at so many 1999 honda accords that have the same problem. I think honda should replace all of their defective transmission and save there good name. Honda should extend the 1999 honda accord warranty to 7 years or100k to cover there defective product!hey did extended the 2000-2001... But not the 1999 ??? Why... It's the very same transmission!
Automatic transmission failed and had to be replaced. The transmission would not downshift when accelerating from a stop. Then it would lunge forward and eventually engage the correct gear after several attemps.
Transmission failure on 1999 honda accord. Honda will not extend warranty as they have on 2000-2001 models with same problem. See honda service bulletin 00-065 dated 8/22/00. Someone is going to die when the transmission fails on the highway.
1999 honda accord v-6 automatic transmission failed at 51,000 miles. This appears to be common for this model car. I believe honda should order a recall for this transmission or offer to extend the warranty from the current 36,000 miles.
Transmission service on 1999 honda accord coupe with 38,000 miles. Trans. Downshifts roughly from second to first. First attempt to fix by dealer july 5, 2003. Problem seemed to improve. Returned to dealer october 2, 2003 when got worse. Dealer replaced motor mounts it said were collapsed; charged me more than $400. Transmission still downshifts roughly on occasion. Request to dealer to refund portion of motor mount cost has received no response as of oct. 22 despite numerous calls and voice mails to customer service rep. Dave kitchen, 310.783.3025.
Transmission has failed twice since owning vehicle causing dangerous driving conditions.
Transmission failed at 63,000 on freeway.
The transmission was skipping second gear and would not reverse up a hill. Less than one year ago transmission was doing the same thing, and had to be replaced.*ak a year later, the transmission was experiencing the same defect. Consumer learned there was a recall for the 2000 and 2001 accords but not 1999. Consumer reported both incidents to the federal safety agency in case there's a recall issued for his model year vehicle. *ph
I have 1999 honda accord coupe ex v6. My tranny went at 66'000 miles. From what I have read on the internet an excessive amount of people are having the same problems. I have called honda and they said there is no recall on 99 accord transmissions but there is an extension on 2000/2001 transmissions for 7 years 100'00 miles. I am very upset and hope there is a recall on these transmissions....or at least compensate for the $3000 I spent to pay for a new transmission. Thank you
The transmission jumped and accelerated over 45 miles per hour. Check engine light came on, and then I was told that I needed a new transmission.
Transmission failed at 73,000 miles
Transmission differential failed, causing vehicle to produce a loud noise when driving. Dealer notified.
Reoccuring transmission problems. Glad I bought the 100k warranty...changed once at 60k due to bearing failure...now at 75k the center between the back seats get very, very hot and starting to feel slipping...again. Looks like another trip to the dealer for another transmission. I don't feel safe...especially when I commute 75 miles a day with a 13 month old baby.
Poorly made transmission in 6th generation accords , honda should do something about it.
The vehicle had a problem with the transmission. Honda issued a recall which only affected honda accord with a v6 engine, 2000 to 2001, and the consumer stated his vehicle also experienced the same problems from the recall but honda will not extend the warranty on the honda 1999 accords . *ak *cb it cost $4000.00 for a recondition transmission, the consumer requested that honda reimburse him for the defective vehicle.
I am having major problems with my transmission and it should not being a 1999.
Have been having transmission problems and am seeing a trend to others having similar problems. The dealer quoted $8000 new or $3327 for used. I don't think we should be having transmission problems on a car that is 3 years old. Anyone else having problems?
Transmission failure at 46,000 (this was already reported to the federal safety agency). Check engine light has come on again - this time it is the catalytic convertor and 02 sensors.
