2000 Honda Accord: transmission slipping

Filed Jan 13, 2024 · Transmission · TN

On this vehicle, it is common knowledge that the V6 models have an issue related to the transmission (referred to as the automatic transaxle by Honda) where the system was not reworked to account for the extra torque put out by the more powerful V6 engine causing it to strip and shred portions of the gearing causing gear slippage, rough idling, and other similar issues usually occuring sometimes around or after the 80k mile mark. Upon finding out about this, I did some research and Honda's "solution" offered was that transmissions could be swapped for rebuilt ones salvaged off of other vehicles brought in for similar issues but there have also been reports of these rebuilt transmissions beginning to fail after they reach an additional 80k miles proving the issue was not truly resolved. On top of this, a formal recall was never made, owners were not made aware of this, and the offer was only made available to those who brought their vehicles in for this issues within a certain number of years and certain of mileage after their purchase which is very unsafe, anti-consumer, and shows a lack of care and responsibility on their part especially since this issue affects not only V6 Accord models, but also affects Ridgeline, Odyssey, and CR-V models that use the same engine and transmission combo. It should also be noted that, due to the lack of notice or action regarding this issue on the manufacturer's part, it has never been resolved on my model as the prior owners never knew of this issue when they bought the car new but the Honda owned dealership was happy enough to quote me a $1406 repair the last time I inquired about this issue.

Check engine light kept coming on and wouldn't go off. Car was struggling to automatically shift into gear. When it got really hot, car would not start up right away. Would take several times of having one foot on brake and one foot on gas to get it to start again.transmission is acting like it is slipping. Just bought this used car last year. Local honda dealership, don wessel, of springfield, missouri acted like everything was fine with the car when we bought it. Took it in there they got the check engine light to go off but then it came back on a few days later. Tried to get them to fix it but they wouldn't. Took it to another place they, hooked it up to the computer and said that all cylinders were misfiring, and that there was a problem with transmission. Trying to find a place to fix the transmission. We think dealership should fix it since we bought it there and they did not think anything was wrong even after we brought it back and told them that check engine light was still on and car is still acting up.

The first failure was in 2003. While I was driving on the highway my transmission went out completely in traffic. I was able to get off the street before the car completely stopped. The repair was done in 2003 during a national recall. The car started showing signs of slipping in 2009 . I contacted honda about the replacement transmission and they said it was out of warranty. The transmission completely failed in march, 2010. I was traveling at 55 MPH when the car started to lose power. This is the second incident with this car where the transmission went out while I was driving this car.

Transmission in 2000 honda accord was diagnosed by two mechanics (independent and honda dealer) as requiring replacement quoted at over $3800. Symptoms included: gear shift slippage, d4 indicator light flashing, delayed gear engagement, erratic and harsh shifting resulting in the car lurching forward while in drive, atf leak, erratic acceleration, and the left differential diagnosed with excessive play. Car had been well maintained, keeping all fluid levels monitored and in check with routine maintenance. After calling honda america, I was told that "due to age" the "company's position" was that they were unable to provide assistance of any kind despite previous reports of the transmission in 2000 accords as being a known manufacturer's error/faulty production. Honda admitted error on the issue but remained firm that they would not support resolution. Am left with vehicle in undrivable condition that is unsafe on the road due to erratic transmission behavior. At one point, the vehicle lurched forward uncontrollably, nearly hitting a pedestrian. Request the federal safety agency follow-up and investigation of ongoing transmission issues with these vehicles, encouraging consumer resolution options for honda owners. Resolution should not be limited to age of vehicle when safety of consumers and other drivers are at hand. These vehicles should not be allowed on the road with faulty transmissions. Had I been aware of the safety issue, I would not have purchased my honda. Thank you!
