My vehicle died going up a small hill for no reason.... Like it stalled but I had to restart the vehicle... Also the stereo doesn't work I think it could be electrical or the ignition switch? Seen on youtube I'm not the only one that this is happening to. It stalls almost and doesn't propel in fifth at I have to down shift and go back to 5th and tei again... Sometimes it works other times I try 2 or three time to keep it accelerating. The hill thing was scary. What did it mean?

First occurrence, tuesday august 18, 2015 driving into work, transmission slipped, rpms increased with no additional forward motion by car. Then stopped and went to back into parking stall and car would not engage into reverse, finally it did started researching possible issues and found tons of recall and complaints online, driving home the car all of a sudden stuttered and downshifted violently this time it produced a check engine light (obdc: p0741), I called honda cust service and spoke with jason, he created a case # for me and stated I would need to have it diagnosed by a honda dealer and call them back. I called back the same number but this time option 7, customer service rep read thru my case and determined that because the VIN did not indicate being part of the recall, the age of the vehicle and mileage, honda would not do anything to assist me. My transmission fluid smells burnt. I now have had to pay a transmission shop $3464.65 for a rebuilt transmission.

I was driving, the engine light came on, car stalled out.
Vehicle started to loses acceleration all of a sudden; diving normally in traffic then car started to jerk/ and rpms started to get higher before slowing down. Car then stops in traffic and does not accelerate even though shift is engaged in drive. Transmission failure that could have caused accident. Vehicle eventually drove again after turning car off and back on but stalled again/ issue repeated.
2004 honda accord v6 ex (98k) 1st time I was making a right hand turn & as I completed the turn & tried to accelerate there was no power. Engine revved but car did not go anywhere. Crept along to pull over on the side of the road. Waited a few minutes & drove home about 10mph. Luckily I was only 3 blocks from home. Thought maybe it was bad gas or something. Drove fine the next few days. 2nd time I saw my life flash before my eyes as I went to make a left hand turn. As I started my turn, again trans stalled only this time oncoming traffic was coming at me which included a monstrous semi-truck. As cars slammed on their brakes I crept through the intersection to the side of the road. Car towed to my mechanic who has taken care of the car since I bought it brand new in 2004. Mind you I had no security warnings or alerts come up on the dash. I have had no leaks, nothing on the ground where I park. My mechanic took for test ride & had the same thing happen. Unfortunately he does not repair trans. Call honda after finding multiple complaints & lawsuits on this trans only to be told my VIN # is not included on the recall & there is nothing they can do. Ridiculous that they only include certain VIN #'s when it's the same trans in all these cars. I really love my accord, extremely disappointed in the way honda is handling this. I have had no other problems with this car other than the power steering which there was a recall on. Asked to speak to a supervisor at honda & was told she would review the case & get back to me by end of day monday. Very unfortunate, we have been through 14 honda's in my immed family. The only other one that had a problem was my brother's 2003 honda accord v6 ex in california. His trans went at 60,000 but was covered under extended warranty. He's at 115k & so far so good. Honda, don't ruin your reputation like gm, admit fault & take responsibility.
