2001 honda accord v6, it jerks when shifting from park to drive. When the vehicle is park the engine accelerates on its own without having to press on the gas. When driving the vehicle it jerks making it unsafe to drive. Also when trying to make a stop at a stop light or stop sign.
Transmission slips and won't easily shift into 2nd gear. This causes my car to stop accelerating and I'm afraid I will be rear-ended. Am bringing to honda for repair, but want "goodwill repair" as this is the 3rd transmission for this vehicle. (2001 honda accord). There was a recall shortly after I purchased vehicle and the original transmission was replaced.
I'm having transmission problem with my 2001 honda accord lx. The transmission does not shift smoothly after starting the car when the engine is cold. The car has 91k miles on it. I had exactly the same problem before around 2004. At the car was under warranty. Honda replaced the transmission. Honda also extended the warranty on the transmission to 7 yrs due to known defect this model and due to complains from many consumers. Upon searching the internet, it is clear that this problem is widespread with 2001 accord and honda refuses to recall or pay for the cost of replacement.
Transmission failure.
3 codes set on transmission. Transmission slips when shifting from first to second gear. Car revs loudly but does not accelerate much. Torque converter has some problem too.
My 2001 honda accord ex 4cyl (199k miles) began driving very badly - suddenly decelerating while driving (at any speed). The honda dealer diagnosed that the transmission needed replacing at a cost of $3500.
Tl*the contact owns a 2001 honda accord. The contact stated that the automatic transmission would not shift into first gear (usually the first two miles of the day) and after driving a few miles, the failure began to correct itself. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where the contact was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The contact called the manufacturer who stated that they could not assist with repair cost since the warranty was no longer valid. The vehicle was not repaired. The current mileage was 49,934. The failure mileage was 49,239.
My 2001 honda 6-cyl ex experiences transmission slipping between first and second gears, especially when driving approximately between 25-35 MPH. Symptom is most frequent during a deceleration between second and first gears. Symptom first started at 80k miles and has gradually worsened (car now has ~120k miles). I was doing all regular honda major services at honda dealer, and they did not even find problem and engine safety measures. Honda mentioned that if go with all recommended services my engine life and faty will be increased. I spend lot of money on recommended regular services from honda. Reported this to dealer and honda national office; they did "replicate" the symptom. Honda?s response: due to the frequent nature of this problem honda offered a transmission warranty to 100k miles. I was not informed by honda of this warranty extension until I asked to check again 120 miles service. Honda said your only option is to buy a new honda or a new transmission. I always thought if I give servicing at dealer they will check engine and defects properly but seems like there is no guarantee in that.
Tl*the contact owns a 2001 honda accord. While the contact was driving approximately between 20-35 MPH, the transmission exhibited hesitation in a jerking motion.

My 2001 honda 4-cyl ex repeatedly experiences transmission slipping between first and second gears, especially when decelerating and re-accelerating (e.g., in stop and go traffic or when descending on a parking garage ramp and then reaccelerating once on the parking level). Symptoms can include a neutral idle followed by sudden lurch, to no traction and a racing of the motor while the vehicle "hunts" for transmission engagement somewhere between first and second gear before engaging. Symptom is most frequent during a deceleration between second and first gears. Symptom first started at ~100k miles and has gradually worsened (car now has ~118k miles). I reported this to dealer and honda national office; they did "replicate" the symptom. It is my understanding that this transmission problem occurs with this transmission over time when the internal (non-serviceable) transmission filter starts to clog and starves 2nd gear of fluid due to rescued flow can not sufficiently lubricate 2nd gear because it is located higher up in the transmission casing compared to the other gears. Honda?s response: due to the frequent nature of this problem honda offered a transmission warranty to 100k miles. I was not informed by honda of this warranty extension until my car reached 118k miles. Honda said your only option is to buy a new honda or a new transmission. I should note that the new transmission that would be placed in the car by the dealer is the same faulty design with the same filter clogging 2nd gear fluid starving issues. Honda or a new transmission.
2001 honda accord. Transmission problem might lead to loss in gears during high speed; especially when driving on the highway*cw the consumer was informed his vehicle was not included in the warranty extension for the transmission.
One year ago I purchased a 2001 honda accord at the time it had 106,000 miles on it. I hadn't had the car a week when I noticed the transmission was slipping. The problem has continually gotten worse. I checked online to see if they had any recalls etc. On this model and sure enough honda said they would replace the transmissions up to 100,000 miles - so here I am a year later looking at $2,000 for a new transmission. In addition my passenger side air bag light continually comes on for now apparent reason, even if there is no one sitting in the seat. I also have problems with the window on the passenger side; the "part" that holds the window up somehow broke and to replace it costs over $200. And finally (well I hope) my brakes seem to have a mind of their own, at times they make funny noises, sometimes they feel like they aren't going to work. If seems as if its not one thing its another. Very frustrated. And now another recall.
The transmission failure of honda accord lx 4-cylinder fwd - occurred. The d4 indicator started blinking. I am unable to drive beyond 10 miles or go to 2nd or more gears. Automatic transmission fluid (atf) leaks occurred. An abnormal loud noise from the transmission. The vehicle has 83,000 miles on it. Single owner and all service maintenance completed at the honda dealer. I contacted honda dealer, they said, need to change shift solenoid b or linear shift solenoid set. If that don't fix the problem, need to change the entire transmission.

My 2001 honda accord (with 80k miles) automatic transmission shifts with a jerk and the transmission lost power and the vehicle would not accelerate past 30-40 miles on the freeway. This is due to the defective transmission that honda has in these vehicles. I believe this is a safety problem and a sudden loss of power while driving could put the occupants in a hazardous situation. Honda states that the warranty has expired and refused to replace the transmission and instead wants the customer to pay for their defective design/implementation.
My 2001 honda accord transmission broke down at 150,000 miles. Check on internet, this was an ongoing complaint from honda accord owners, some of them breakdown even at less than 70,000 miles only. This is not a regular mechanical repair, this is a defect in the transmission.

In 2003, I bought a 2001 honda accord from prime honda (then known as clair). After having the car for less than a month, I noticed that the car wasn't shifting out of gear properly. I took it back to the dealership who told me they couldn't find the problem. The gear shifting/slipping continued and every time I went in for service and told them, they claimed they could never find the problem. I even mentioned to them that I thought it was the transmission and they assured me that there wasn't. They kept telling me that they drove the car and nothing happened. Around december 10th of 2009, I once again took the car in for service and mentioned that shifting of gears. The service department looked over the car and again found nothing. On december 17th, I took the car to another dealership and it was found that there is in deed a problem with the transmission and that it couldn't be fixed.
My 2001 honda accord's automatic transmission has severe hesitation in switching gears, especially when climbing up a hill. I read that this is a common problem for honda accord made around 2001.

Since this is a common problems for many accord, there should be a recall on these cars.
2001 honda accord has transmission problems. *nj the consumer stated for the past three weeks she had problems shifting gears.
My name is earlene belsey and I am a 79 year old widow. I own a 2001 honda accord. In 2002, the honda motor company sent out a notice notifying all honda accord owners that there is a defect in this model's transmission and the company was going to extend the warranty for an additional "seven years or 100,000 miles, which ever comes first." they did not recall this model car to obviously save money.they stated that "if you have any problems with your transmission during this extended warranty period,just bring your car and they would replace it at no cost." problems that could occur are " abnormally loud noises...extremely slow or delayed gear engagement...abnormal gear shifting...erratic harsh shifting...hard shifts when engine is cold" which is just a few of the issues listed. I always kept this in the back of my mind and hoped that nothing would occur. Since they did not take action to recall the car, I just hoped a safety issue would not arise. Even though the manufacture suggests you due transmission service at 60,000 miles, I acted conservatively knowing there could be a potential problem in the future, so I serviced the transmission at 30,000 miles, and again, hoped there would not be an issue. About a week ago, my transmission started shifting erratically. I have just 66,000 miles on this car, but the seven year part of the warranty has expired on this defective product. I asked my son if he could respond to this problem with my car. He agreed and was driving my car to the honda dealer and was almost killed on the freeway by a semi-truck when the car failed to shift. He took the car to the honda dealer and they suggested to file a claim with corporate which he did on friday, oct 30th. On monday nov 2, 2009 corporate offered a "hypothetical offer of a 25% discount on the replacement of the trans, which will cost $3,000. I want 100%, replacement and they refused. Can you please help me? My case # with honda is n012009-10-3000303. Ph 800 999-1009.

Transmission failure on a 2001 honda accord 12 days and less than 400 miles after having honda replace (rebuild) the transmission. Code 1705 (transmission failure) on the 7th day it came out of the shop. Car slams in r from p then gets stuck in 2nd (won't shift) no matter haw fast or even if you move the shifter. 3800 RPM's in 2nd gear on the freeway at 55 MPH. Took back to honda on day 12 and was told" if its covered, they'll fix it". If its covered its 12 days and 400 mi. From your shop and you treat me like your not responsible. The code shows 1705 (trans. Failure) the same reason you replaced the trans in the first placed. After getting a service rep. To look at it they are ordering a sensor to replace, and now are telling me that it is the alarm that is causing the problems. The alarm has been on the car for a long time now, and honda knows aftermarket products are used by a large percentage of their owners, so if it's the alarm, there should be a fix by honda for that problem. Why my car won't shift out of 2nd, doesn't seem like my alarm would tell my trans. Not to due that. I placed 2 exactly the same alarms on my wife's and my daughters cars (honda and a toyota) one's doing fine !!!
