The transmission seems to be slipping while I am driving the car. Basically, at certain points (I think these are at gear shifts) the engine revs up and I get a big jerk in the car. This is very perceptible at the gear shift near a speed of 40-45 MPH.

Leaking transmission fluid, transmission slips and won't really engage at times. When I stop my car my it starts stutters and then it jerks while accelerating. My transmission pops in and out of gear. Check engine light is on. When I turn the corner my car basically stops. I have 2 codes on my vehicle p0740 the torque converter clutch solenoid valve is activated, with the gear in d4, by the transmission control module (TCM) in response to signals sent from the vehicle speed and the engine control module (ECM). Lock-up piston operation will then be controlled. When the torque converter clutch solenoid valve is activated, the torque converter lockup clutch will engage creating a 1 to 1 RPM ratio between the transmission input shaft and the rotational speed of the torque converter. Lock-up operation, however, is prohibited when a/t fluid temperature is too low. When the accelerator pedal is depressed (less than 2/8) in lock-up condition, the engine speed should not change abruptly. If there is a big jump in engine speed, there is no lock-up. Then the other is p0700 the transmission control module (TCM) monitors the malfunction of sensors and actuators relating to transmission control. When the TCM detects a malfunction with the control, a signal is send to the engine control module (ECM) to trigger the engine light or service engine soon light. The ECM stores the p0700 code and it means the TCM detected a malfunction with the transmission controls.

I have serious issues with my honda accord. First, the transmission has failed. It began with it slipping in higher gears when hot and finally failed when it wouldn't shift out of low gear. This transmission is the same transmission that is in the 00-04 honda accords that were recalled. Honda refused to offer any type of owner assistance. My expense to repair: $1516.30 second issue: in 2002 the ignition switch was recalled. The car died on the freeway and had to be towed two days after I received the recall notice. Honda repaired the vehicle no charge for parts and labor but refused to pay for the towing expense. My cost: $75. Now the ignition switch has failed again and honda has refused to replace it at no charge or with any type of owner assistance even though this same part was replaced as part of a recall. I have been given an "estimate" of $275 to repair. Freeman honda of dallas replaced the switch under the recall. I've contacted john eagle honda of dallas, on lemmon ave, and left messages for[xxx] the service manager but have not received a return phone call. I spoke with a service consultant who point blank told me my car is out of warranty and they will do nothing to help me. I called honda customer assistance and was told they would not participate in any type of owner goodwill or assistance with either repair. I understand parts fail but these two repairs are known product issues for honda! Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

My 17 year old daughter just bought a 1999 honda accord. After less than 24 hours she noticed the transmission slipping when going into 2nd gear. If you attempt to accelerate, the transmission causes the entire car to shake violently while not accelerating. This problem is known to honda for many years. There are thousands of instances of this same problem and literally hundreds documented online. How many people will have to be injured or even die when the car fails to respond to a driver entering traffic before honda will admit they knew the transmissions they were installing were defective and provide a fix?

The transmission was slipping from 1st to 2nf gear, it was mildly noticeable. I had it checked out by transmission auto shops and they said I would be fine and there was not any indication of problems from the diagnostic tests. I continued to drive it for a year. Then one day it shifted so hard I barely made it out of the middle of the city going through multiple intersections to find a place to park it. The transmission will need to be replaced. Had the transmission dropped in the middle of the busy city, I know it could have caused an accident.

I was driving to work as usual, when my accelerator pedal got stuck while trying to find a parking space. It was a cold morning, around 12 degrees, so I first thought that I was slipping on ice and had no control of the car. Once off the icy patch, my car continued to take off on me, even with my foot on the brakes. It actually continued to speed up and that was the moment I knew I was in trouble. I was in the parking lot when this happened, so I did not have alot of room or time to put it in neutral or actually jump out. I sped out of the entry, through the street, over the curb, through the fence and landed on railroad ties, that thankfully high centered me, and another fence that ultimately stopped me. Both bags deployed and my car was totaled. Once I knew that I was o.k., I put the car in park, and the engine was still revving. That, I know, is not right. The whole time I could smell burnt rubber or brakes. I know the difference between my gas and brake pedal, and I definitely had my brakes applied. Why would I want to cause this kind of damage to my car and especially myself ? I could have actually killed myself or someone else. If it was not for the railroad ties that high centered me. I would have gone right through the second fence and ended up, who knows where. I definitely had an angel watching over me. I am so upset and sore that I don't know what to do. I spent all day on the internet looking at other incidents involving the same make and model with accelerator problems, especially in cold weather. I guess this is not just "driver error" that everyone seems to think, now is it.

Car is stalling and seems that transmission is slipping. In researching web, I have run across at least 20 drivers, with exact same make, model etc. Although my car has 120k miles, some only had 60k when their transmission failed. Every mechanic that I spoke with (including dealership) admits that the transmission in these models are known to fail. I can't believe that a dealer as reputable as honda has not been made to reengineer their transmissions. According to the complaints I have read, even the 2004 models have transmissions beginning to fail. It seems extremely unfair that the customers are the ones footing the bill.
