My transmission failed because I was told the torque converter should have been replaced by the manufacturer honda immediately after honda realized the 199 honda accord torque converters were faulty. I purchased my car new and was not told about the situation until the transmission failed due to the faulty torque converter. Honda did not set up a recall or notify 199 honda accord owners. They paid for the repairs when the transmissions failed for a few years. I have only 62,45a miles on my car and now have a $3007.00 bill to replace my transmission. This would not have occurred if I was told to replace the torque converter by honda as soon as they were aware of the problem. I should be reimbursed by honda. They refuse to do so.

I am the original owner of the vehicle and have followed all the recommended maintenance milestones at the same dealership since I purchased the vehicle. I was driving on highway and the transmission went out. This caused the vehicle to lose speed and I was almost rear ended by another vehicle. I called honda and they said that even with regular maintenance they will not stand behind the transmission after three years. I believe they should at least help in the cost of the repairs which are around $3,600.00 to rebuild the transmission.

Purchased 99 honda accord v6 in 2007. One owner car. Im second owner. All maintenance done on schedule. On 5/29/11 transmission failed. I called honda they said "we know about the situation and we're investigating the issue. We're not going to do anything about your transmission. I have taken good care of my accord v6. The transmission should not have failed. I was stranded on the interstate with my four small children. Then had to pay $350 for the tow home. I am a loyal honda owner. This is my fourth honda. I have never had major mechanical issues with any of my hondas. Honda admitted there is a known problem.

Check engine light came on. Brought to the dealer and they said the code indicated a torque converter circuit malfunction. Dealer supposedly checked and road tested and said they couldn't find anything wrong. They reset the warning light and said the transmission maybe going bad. I was charged their typical outrageous labor cost. I should have brought it to an auto parts store who could have told me the same thing for free. But I thought they would know more about what is wrong with their cars than an auto parts code reader, I was totally wrong. The warning light came back on during my drive back home from the dealer. All the required maintenance has been performed by the dealer since the time I bought it new. The car had around 98,000 miles when the warning light first appeared. I brought it to a transmission repair shop next and they replaced the linear solenoid and checked the others which were all fine, but the warning light came back on. The trans. Shop said this is a predominant problem with 99 and 2000 accords, but the mfr only recalled the 2000 models. I know this is true because I also own a 2000 accord which was recalled by the factory for transmission problems. The mechanic said that honda should have recalled this model year also since the 99 and 2000 models were essentially identical. Now the only recourse is to overhaul or replace the transmission which will cost lots more money. The manufacturer should recall the 99 accords as well or at least shoulder half of all the expenses because of this defect. I have own several vehicles other than hondas and I have never encountered any transmission problem and all have gone over 150,000 miles. Good bye honda! All my family and friends will surely know about this.

We bought our used accord about a year ago for our daughter to go to college and not to long after we realize that the transmission was starting to shift very rough especially from the lower gears to the high ones..we changed the transmission fluid and do all the regular maintenance for the vehicle.. Yet we have noticed that the problem has gotten worse.. Now the transmission not only jerks really bad shifting up but it's worse going downwards.. Sometimes now the reverse gear will not engage and we have to turn off the engine and turn it back on before it goes to reverse.. We took it to the dealer and they said that we have to replace the transmission and most probably the engine mounts.. $2500 to $3500 we call american honda and see if they will help and of course our factory warranty has run out so we are on our own.. According to some auto shops that we have talked to this the problem that these accords have... Faulty transmission.. What is honda doing? Nothing .. What are we going to do? Shouldn't we file a class action law suit against honda for not fixing this problem.

Got a car tune-up done by a honda dealership. The gears shifted a lttle different but I attributed it to the tune-up. It progressively got worst so I took it back to the dealer to have it checked. After their analysis, they diagnosed it as a "bad differential" and it needed a new transmission. The car only had 78,000 when it was at the dealer for the tune-up the end of may. Do I have any recourse through the manufacturer???
