1999 Honda Accord transmission complaints
Page 9 of 9: complaints 221 to 246 of 246, newest first, as owners wrote them.
There is a clunking sound and vibration in steering, the wheel definitely is not turning at the same speed as the others. This is a known problem with honda transmission yet no service bulliten can be found on the accord.honda is well aware of this problem but is still asking owners to pay for the cost to replace transmission with rebuild.
Transmission slips in lower gears. Also lurches forward upon acceleration in all gears. This lurching is often quite severe causing the car to swerve which is incredibly dangerous.
While driving, the automatic transmission does not shift properly. Dealer has been notified. *ak the vehicle sometimes shifts gears on its own without the changing of speeds. Other times while accelerating into traffic (at a stop light or merging) the vehicle will slip into neutral and will redline but not shift into gear.
My 1999 honda accord was at howdy honda on 6/26/2002 for trouble with hard, jerky shifting at 20 MPH. Was informed that the transmission fluid needed to be replaced but everything was alright. On 7/31/2002, experienced extremely hard shifting at 40 MPH. The engine would rev, die down, and then suddenly jerk into gear. This continued to happen until taken to dealership on 8/2/2002. Was informed at this time by same dealership (6/26/2002) that my transmission was damaged and needed to be replaced.

I pulled my accord up to the front door of a subway shop. I set the brake, removed keys and put my cellular phone in my trunk. No movement of car took place. I went in the shop to order my sandwich. I sat down to eat---the vehicle was still in place.as I was disposing of trash. When I went to get in vehicle, it was gone.I thought someone got another accord.I looked 100 feet to my left and the car was wedged between two cars.the keys were in my pocket.the two owners of the damaged vehicles could not believe what happened.one owner, an insurance broker, said this was a first for him. My question : why would a vehicle roll when the ignition was locked?
Transmission will not shift properly into gear, it was slow in shifting. When ever this happens, engine would rev up. Had been to the dealership 3 times for transmission problem. Was informed by mechanic that a new transmission is required, even though was told its repairable. *ak
Intermittently vehicle will not go into second gear when accelerating. Dealer has not been able to duplicate the problem.
Engine shifts down when accelerating from a slow stop. Feels like it is going to stall but if you continue to remain on the gas it lurches. It's like the transmission down shifts before acceleration.

Automatic transmission hesitation since day 1. When accelerating from a slow or stop position, the engine hesitates, the car shakes and makes rattling noise, then sometimes stalls. The engine is not up/downshifting properly and poses serious safety conc
When vehicle is facing down hill , and you put in reverse it goes forward .I spoke to the service advisor he said it was normal.I personally do not think its normal .I have an `89 ford tempo as old as it is it does not roll downhill when in reverse and facing downhill.I have come close to hitting my garage door because of that. Also when putting in gear in any kind of land level it cracks and makes noises. Tires vibrate ,front ones also on the highway it strays to the right a lot . I`ve checked air pressure on tires to make sure that did not cause the pulling to the right, and it was not that .air pressure is lost a lot also ,every 2-3 weeks air in front tires goes down approximateley 4-6 pounds, and rears go down 2-3 puonds.I have to check air pressure on a weekly bases .( dot number: tire size: p195/65r15 )
