Transmission needs to be replaced. Car will not go into reverse. This is a honda recall and honda will not honor since the car is over the age for the warranty but still within the mileage. This vehicle was always serviced at the dealer where it was purchased and were never informed of the recall.

My check engine light came on, and I was informed that I needed a new transmission. I was told this may be covered under an extended warranty that honda issued due to this very common transmission problem. Honda informed me that this warranty is expired, and offered me a used transmission with 64,000 miles on it, and a 12,000 mile or 1 year warranty which ever comes first for $3,250. Honda needs to issue a recall for this faulty transmission because their warranty extension has left people like me with a vehicle that is a safety hazard and a minimum $3,250 repair.the offer for this used transmission is a joke because it's the same transmission that I currently have, so what happens if it to fails not even a year and a half from the date I purchased it. Transmissions that have been taken very well care of (this car was previously owned by a mechanic) do not fail just before they reach 75,000 miles. Honda needs to accept responsibility, and issue a recall for this transmission.

Bought the car new in 2001 from john eagle honda clear lake. The first transmission gave out at 37400 miles due to a defective transmission. Car transmission suddenly started making noise and slipping between gears. Honda placed vehicle on their computer and received an error message. We were told a new transmission was only solution. The same error message came up on the "new" transmission. We were told to try honda customer service for assistance, which told us the solution, was totally up to the dealership. We waited for over two weeks for [xxx]to call; I had to call him again today to get his reply. The clear lake honda dealership that we have been going to since 1997 says their "hands are tied". [xxx] the service manager states he talked to vernon sage, district manager, and states they have no transmissions to correct another defected transmission but they can sell me a new one??!! This is an issue of safety not just cost and it is absolutely unacceptable that honda cannot honor their mistake. If this transmission would go out while on a highway there could be a real tragedy. They knowingly replaced transmissions with the same defect. This car is driven 90 percent on the highway and wells maintained w/the same honda dealer. There is no reason that this car should need two transmissions within only 112000 miles. The dealer passes the problem to honda customer service, which in turn hands the problem back over to the dealer. It should be a crime to know of a failure that could cause a major tragedy and not honor or accept your mistake and make it right. This is an issue caused 100% by a known defective transmission that honda and the dealership are completely aware of. There are entirely too many other honda owners with the exact same problem with the second transmission. There is not any "goodwill" from honda by putting in the same defect.

I had transmission replaced at 60,000 miles 2 months after I purchased it. Paul moak pontiac in jackson, ms supposedly put a new transmission in the vehicle. I never really felt that it operated correctly. How could it if honda made all these transmissions. Now 7 years later, october 2012, I have another code or automatic transaxle problem. Ridiculous. I just bought another used 2000 honda accord and I pray that I don't encounter this same issue.
