I was driving the car and the power steering pump went out and a week later my transmission started slipping then all of a sudden my car wouldn't go into gears and the transmission stopped working completely. It will work for 5 min then it completely won't go in any gear. I had to have it towed home. It was on the road on the bypass and I started acting up then it stopped working completely when I went to get off of work and wouldn't go in to gear at all after that. So I had to have it towed home. I had it looked at by a local mechanic and he said the car had a recall on multiple things for me to look into it because it was gonna cost around 2000 to fix everything.

While driving on the highway at around 65 MPH, all of a sudden the car seemed like it was braking by itself without me pressing the brakes. I took it to the shop and after spending hundreds of dollars, found out that the transmission is damaged and beyond the second gear, it is slipping. This is what caused that dangerous behavior on the highway. This could have easily LED to an accident by being rear ended or worse. Honda should replace the transmission.

Transmission was recalled (the federal safety agency reference #04v176000) in 2004 for over heating problem. There was no follow up to see if repairs specified in the recall were effective over the expected life of the transmission. Symptoms started about two weeks ago. Transmission pauses before going into gear. Then transmission slips and engine revs. After one week, transmission quit pulling as I was attempting to enter the interstate. Car would not get up to speed and transmission quit pulling entirely, leaving me stranded on side of interstate. Transmission fluid black and burnt. Sounds like gear jumping teeth.

I have owned four hondas and have never encountered or heard of issues like this before I bought my 2003 honda accord. I take very good care of my cars and do not drive them hard either. I bought my 03 accord in 2010 and had no idea that I was driving what is tantamount to a ticking time bomb. Roughly a month ago, my tach started slipping and the car started jerking and clunking while I was driving it. The problems do not begin at a set amount of time behind the wheel. It starts I the lower gears and I can tell it is starting when I decrease my speed to a stop, at 10 miles per hour the car ?shudders? And ?clunks?. It progressively gets worse and the higher gears become affected. I was on the freeway, on my way home from an appointment in the middle lane. I was traveling at roughly 55 ? 60 miles per hour when the entire car violently jerked. It was enough to throw my head into the steering wheel. I immediately went to exit the highway when I noticed that my car was now in neutral. I babied the car home and checked the fluid. It was fine. The problem has gotten worse and I can no longer drive my car without being willing to be injured or worse. The cost of replacing or repairing the transmission is not a possibility. I now have a car that I cannot fix and cannot drive. It is unconscionable that a car company that is built on its reliability would not acknowledge and fix this problem. Does someone need to die first? I guess that I am unwilling to risk getting behind the wheel of a honda again. The scariest part of this whole situation was that I was going to put my 16 year old daughter in this car. Something needs to be done?now.

I recently purchased the 2003 honda accord for travel. After purchasing the vehicle I noticed that the check engine light was on. The mechanic told me that there was a torque converter that needed to be replaced. After doing additional research I found that other honda owners had this same issue. My car rumbles when driving through residential areas. When I try to enter my VIN number in to see if my car is eligible it won't come up, but I'm definitely experiencing the transmission slipping in specific gears.

Informed kolbe honda that my transmission was slipping back on 9/2/2004 and again on 11/9/2010. The service department claims there is nothing wrong with my transmission. I have paperwork stating the dates and complaints about my transmission. The honda dealerships claimed there was nothing wrong with my transmission. At this time, my car was still under warranty. On 3/7/2013. Is when I almost died on the freeway when my car just slowed down to a crawl in the middle lane while cars were driving 60-65 miles per hour. I thought my life was over at this time. I was able to get onto the right shoulder and was in shock. I telephoned my husband to come to my rescue, then we crawled the car into honda. After bringing my car back two different times to see why the car was still not running, the second time honda told me that I need a transmission. I purchased a rebuilt transmission for $3051.00, as honda did nothing to help me out. My car has been impeccably maintained. I almost lost my life for honda not paying attention to me complaining about my transmission slipping from 2004. I often have my grandchildren in my car and was thankful that I was the only one in the car this day. I believe that honda totally ignored me and probably a lot more people with the same problem. As of today, I still fear driving my car on the freeways and I stay in the right lane only in the event this happens again. I am a senior citizen and feel that I was taken advantage of. There is no reason why I had to spend $3051.00 to put a transmission that should have been replaced by honda. I would appreciate some information back. I am still using my car as I cannot afford to purchase another car.
