2007 Honda Accord: complete transmission failure

Filed May 15, 2015 · 73,000 miles · CA

Was driving on the 5 fwy and heard a grinding sound so I pulled over to the shoulder. My car then would no longer drive. A group of gentlemen helped me put the car in neutral and we pushed it off the shoulder to the gravel. I had to call a tow to take me and my car 92 miles to the honda dealer where I service my car. I have a stellar service record with the honda dealer and have only driven approximately 10,000 miles per year. The dealer identified the problem as a failed transmission. This is the second honda accord v6 where the transmission failed: I had a 1998 and it failed in 2006 with approximately the same mileage as the 2007.

Per honda manual recommendation for a tune-up @100,000 mile; on april, 2013 I went into nalley honda for my 100k tune-up. Shortly after this service was performed, my car stared to pulsate. I return my car back to dealer and was advised I need a fuel flush. They stated this was not part of the tune-up, but should be done with a tune-up. I paid for a fuel flush. The problem still existed. I went back to the dealer and inquired if they had changes all six of my plugs and wires. They said yes...I asked why was I still having this issue after getting a tune-up. I was asked the grade of gas I use. I told the service tech 87, that is what the manual recommended. I was told to try 93 grade for about a month to see if that will filter and clean the lines. I did... However, the problem still occurs but not as bad. I call and scheduled an appointment for saturday after thanksgiving. I'm now being told my transmission is going bad (torque converter). I said that is not possible. A 2007 vehicle with only 117,000 mile and my transmission is going out. While sitting in the customer waiting area, a gentlemen with the same identical vehicle as mine told me he had more mile on his vehicle than mines, but his transmission went out also and he had to have his rebuilt for around $2,000.00. I said there is no way transmission should be going out on a 2007 model vehicle with only 117,000 miles. Honda need to investigate if this is a defect issue. The service manager said no, honda does not have a recall on the problem. Someone please help!

Since my purchase, june of 2007 I have had several problems with the brake system and at that time honda had fulfilled the quality expectations. However; a larger issue is at hand regarding my car transmission causing a leaking problem. Upon discovering the leakage, I immediately took my car out for service. I have now found out that honda misdiagnosed the problem and performed unnecessary repairs charging me a $300 dollars out of my pocket. Within couple of weeks I was back at the dealership to raise my concerns about consistent leakage. At this point they advised me that it's transmission needs to be replaced. After 3 months of arguing and writing letters to the honda ceo, finally the same case manager who refused to help me at first, offered a 50% coverage by honda to replace its transmission. That is around $2000 out of my packet fixing their defective transmission. At this point, I can't drive this car. The smoke and burning smell coming from under hood causes a safety concern. I worry that if I take this car for a ride it would be my last time seeing my family. My faith in this company has been ruined forever - but thanks to one person - they don't care. Please help!!!

Vehicle: 2007 honda accord ex - 6 cylinder problem: transmission failure with less then 5k miles, my accord began to surge when driving. A service light came on and I took the vehicle to the dealership. The transmission had failed and honda replaced it with a rebuilt transmission even though the dealer told me initially it was a new transmission. The vehicle now has 17k miles and I still have problems with the transmission. When slowing for a red light the vehicle will down shift suddenly causing the vehicle to lurch. I am not confidant in honda.

Honda 6spd transmission has problem with 3rd gear. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd gear, transmission will either pop out of gear or grind into gear. Problem does not occur all of the time and started with the first 7,500 miles. Problem occurs at various intervals at about 1-5% of total drive time. This usually takes place when I first start driving the car but still happens after this at fewer intervals. I've taken the car in several times and addressed the issue at every service. The dealer is unable to reproduce the problem since the issue doesn't happen very often. On or about the 21 feb 08 the transmission failed to enter 2nd gear. I was able to get it into 2nd but could not shift into 1st gear. The dealer fixed the issue with 1st gear and said they fixed 3rd. On the drive home and there after I still had trouble shifting from 2nd to 3rd. I now have trouble shifting from 3rd to 4th. I've tried to take it in recently but they where still unable to reproduce the problem.
