Tl*the contact owns a 2000 honda accord. While driving 5 MPH, the vehicle hesitated and then accelerated when shifted from first to second gear. When pulling out of a driveway, the vehicle stopped after 10-20 seconds. The vehicle was inspected and the mechanic stated that the driver's side axle shield failed. The mechanic stated that there was a 50/50 chance that the repair would correct the failure or a new transmission would be needed. The vehicle has had two transmission repairs, but the second transmission began displaying the same symptoms as the first one. The contact will need a new transmission. The check engine light illuminated during the first failure. The dealer stated that there was class action suit in 2006 that was settled. They also stated that the transmission failure would be repaired under warranty. However, the dealer is currently being uncooperative and will not assist. The vehicle has not yet been repaired.

I purchased a honda accord as a second owner approximately two years ago and after a couple months of driving started to experience transmission problems. After some investigation, I found this is a normal complication with the 2000 honda accord v6 ex. There is website after website complaining about this problem. I wrote honda to see if they had more information on the type of problems that could happen from this faulty transmission and after reaching the highest level person I could get, he told me he had no information. After asking if there was any thing honda could do, realizing that they have moved there warranty from 30,000 miles to 110,000 miles to cover this problem, he again stated he had no information. The honda representative did not know if this specific problem with the transmission could lead to a hazard or not. I do understand that once you purchase a vehicle that concerns are not typically covered, but this is a well documented safety hazard. Due to honda's faulty construction, many transmissions were replaced or need replaced at the owners cost. I was wondering why there has not been a recall due to the safety hazards related to a faulty transmission (hesitation with pressing gas pedal, and decrease of use in 1st and 2nd gear). By extending the warranty, I believe honda recognizes they have a problem but leave many individuals to find their own solutions. I have owned honda's for years and will probably make it my last. I am now, however, stuck with a car that has very possibly safety hazards to me as a driver. Even if the transmission is repaired, there are many cases of failure multiple times of different transmissions. As to date, I have not had the transmission replaced and the car continues to get harder to drive. Thanks

Dt: the consumer started having problems with transmission in 2001. When the vehicle shifted to reverse it jerked abruptly. Problem became worse. Vehicle hesitated when in drive. This occurred every time the vehicle wa s driven. The vehicle will not shift smoothly from one gear to another. This became worse after the vehicle was driven for a while. Hesitation occurred while driving, even when the gears were not being changed. Dealer was never able to duplicate the problem. Therefore, no repair were done. Vehicle's owner noticed what she thought was transmission fluid in 2003. Dealer stated there was no problem with the transmission. Owner took vehicle to the service dealer several times ,and every time the dealer relied on the computer to find a problem. None was ever found.

I have reason to believe the accord I purchased is unsafe. There is a hesitation at 40 MPH. I feel unsafe in this vehicle, and that if someone were following to closely when the hesitation occurs and my cars speed decreases then I am subject to possibly be rear ended potentially causing myself or passengers to be injured. I was never told of this so called normal function as honda has stated. I feel as though I should have been told and the vehicle has been misrepresented, and that I at that time could have opted to purchase another vehicle. Honda refuses to do anything, I have spoken to and written about this to them. Thank you.

Transmission replaced at 1308 miles & now the car doesn't ride smooth. At lower speed the car is jerky, hesitates, slow down very quickly as soon as you left off the gas, feels llike the brake is on. Also has a noise coming from front right of car everytime I start up and pull away I hear it once. Didn't hear it with the original transmission. The whole feel of the car driving is very different with the new transmission and I really don't like it. It's not smooth and flowy like the first transmission. It's very tight and feels like you constantly need gas. Rides terrible on hills. I told honda that my wheels pull left on highway driving and they told me that's normal. Not happy here.
