At time of each recommended service requested staff address issue. Typical response that how car ws design. Now at 52,000 miles need to replace transmission. Honda of american is doing a 50/50 spilt of the cost to replace transmission. Dealers price to repair was $5300. Honda of america price approximately $2400 , half paid by consumer.
The transmission failed, due to a defect with the gear bearing. *jb *scc
1999 honda accord v6 transmission needing to be rebuilt at only 87k miles. This was due to the trans slipping and shifting erratically. The exact same problem as listed with the 2000-2001 models.
The differential bearings on my transmission failed at 49k miles and damaged my transmission. I had my transmission rebuilt by a private company when honda told them that it was not under warranty. I was told by honda that they may have done helped if a dealer had done the work.
Defective automatic transmission in '1999 honda accord ex v-6 transmission replacement at only 65,000 miles.
Delay in acceleration when accelerator is depressed. *mr the vehicle experienced a short delay when the accelerator was pressed. The check engine light illuminated.

The technician indicated that the transmissions component appeared to be used or remanufactured. *ph
Transmission would not shift into first gear. Went out with 82000 miles. Already had transmission replaced at 44000 miles. Two in 82000 miles.
I have a 1999 honda accord exv6 the transmission started slipping 3 months ago. I called my dealer at that time because I had received a letter nov 2001 from honda stating that there was a warrany extension for egr system clogging. The service advisor stated that this would not help my case. Now at 70000 I need a new transmission.I bought this car after owning a toyota for 12 years w/ no problems. To say the least I am disgusted.
1999 honda accord ex v-6 transmission failure. I had been noticing acceleration problems. I thought the problem was with fuel injection. I was coming back from a weekend trip and the check engine light came. I took the car to the dealer the next day for the 75,000 mile service. They said it was the transmission. The next day it failed the transmission test. Dealer said it would have to be replaced. I do not drive long distances and I do not feel safe in the car.
The catalytic converter was replaced three times due to deterioration. The trunk latch, timing belt, balancer belt, and the power door actuator were replaced, the parking brake was adjusted, the are rest and axle seal was replaced, the seat belt failed to retract, and the windows rattled. *ph
Transmission slips and lurches. Requested dealer service and adjustment. Fluids replaced, but no service performed. Service manager evasive and mis-leading. Made appointment for adjustment, fluid and filter change, dealer did just one. Fluid was not burnt or discolored. Problem persists. Warranty extension should be ordered expanded to include 1999 model.
Transmission will not shift properly into gear, it was slow in shifting. When ever this happens, engine would rev up.
Intermittent stalling due to ignition switch failure. Also replaced transmission.
Transmission failed in my honda accord 99. With research I found alot of consumers that had the transmissions fail in their accord 99/2000/2001's. The 200+ transmission were under recall. I directly asked honda if the part (auto transmission) was the same in the 99 accord as the 2000 / 2001 which is under recall. Though several honda dealerships I found out that the part (auto transmission) is exactly the same in a 99, 2000 or 2001 honda accord. The honda warranty team would not admit (again I directly asked) that the part was the same. Thus, I am left with honda knowing that 99 accord's have known defective automatic transmissions that fail at road speed (erratic shifting). My transmission failed on an interstate at 60 MPH road speed by shifting from drive to reverse. I almost got hit by an 18 wheeler that had to go off road to avoid my car. I guess when the fatalities grow big enough to warrant a class action suit honda will be forced to recall.
Honda accord 99', transmission failure at 60,000 miles. Other years (98) have had warranty extended due to design failure, but not the 99. 99 should be included!
Today I have 88000 miles on my 1999 honda accord v6 coupe. I am currently on my third transmission. The first time, my car was driving very rough at around 23000 mi. Every time I would accelerate, when my car shifted from first to second gear, the car would give a strong jerk, one that was strong enough to shake the coins in the coin holder. I took the car to honda and they told me it was ok, and they could not diagnose any problems. Around 30000 miles, my transmission would not shift out of second gear. I took it back to honda and they replaced it with out any problem. Later, around 60000 miles, my transmission lost all forward driving gears. Keep in mind this is the second transmission. I had it towed to a gas station, and called honda, only to hear, the car is out of warranty. The decision was made to get the work done at the gas station. They acquired a new transmission from honda to be placed into my car. Tonight, that transmission is now without first and third gears. The car wont shift either. The car needs to be placed in second gear, and shifted to third manually for it to function. If it is started in 1,d3,or d4 it will start in second gear and stay in it. I have 90000 mi on my car today. This seems to occur every 30000 mi or so.
The transmission failed, which caused the vehicle not to accelerate.

99 accourd v6 transmission grinds, slips and clunks. All maint done within schedule. Many units in similar situation. Product is defective. Recall done on 2000-2001, however 1999 is also widely effected by the problem as well.
Transmission making grinding noise and having trouble with gears and engine RPM. Honda dealer admits it's transmission problem. Milage is only 37500 miles on.very serious problem and public safety. Should recall or extend warranty.
The transmisson shifts hard. Sometimes it even slips. It started doing it few months ago. Right know my car has about 80000 miles on it. Honda has a recall on 2000 but since it is a 1999 they are making a excuss. My older 91 accord was perfect till 250,000 miles . I guess with this kinda quality this will be my last honda ever.
Consumer stated the transmission gears shifted hard, the dealer informed consumer of a potential transmission problem. Ts
Honda has a warranty replacement on 2000/2001 models and not on the 1999 model. This is the same engine and transmission on the 2000 and 2001 model. They will not do anything for the 1999. What can the federal safety agency do? Dt
Noticed lurching and trasnmission slipping. The car was having difficulty changing gears. Next day I had car checked out was advised that transmission fluid was black( burnt) and the motor mount was also weak. The following day I took the car to ed voyles honda for my 45,000 mile/3 yr service. I was then advised by service advisor, jim vartiak, that large metal pieces came out when the trasnmission fluid was being drianed and was a sign of deterioration of the trasnmission. After my service on 10-28-02 I went to work. On my commute back, I heard a loud noise and then the check engine light came on while I was on the expressway. The vehicle was not accelerating well, the gears were not shifting. When I got to my destination I noticed that I was parked . When I put the car in reverse the engine had to be reved up to make the slightest move. It took several minutes to move three feet. The next morning, 10-30-02, the car was driving about 40 MPH then sudddenly dropped to 10 MPH during a busy hour approx. 7:30 am. At times the honda accord would not even move at all and then it would suddenly jot out. I made it home, but the car is completely immoble the transmission is gone. The worst part is there was no help offered for a resolution. I have made calls and also written to america honda motor co., inc, but I have not yet recieved any response from my. Correspondence. Dt
