Accord LX

  • Automatic transmission
  • 152,000 miles

So....my story sounds like all of the others regarding Transmission going out at low mileage (54000, car was only 3 years old) and then going out a second time. Honda replaced the transmission at no cost...fast forward 5 years (exactly) and check engine light came on after getting timing belt and associated parts replaced at 152000 miles (yes I know...late). Code refers to transmission clutch failure...though I have not noticed any slippage or problems.

I guess I was able to get more mileage out of my car then most here, but I'm irritated at the potential cost to rebuild ($1600) or replace ($?) the transmission when my car is 8 years old this month and worth only $3275 according to Kelley Blue Book. I really did not want a new car due to new car payments....but what is going to go next on this thing?! I just wasted $500 with the timing belt!

Accord EX V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 135,000 miles

my neighbor who's a Honda certified mechanic warned me that I would be having problems several months ago w/my tranny when he serviced it. He mentioned that he sees a lot of 98-2001 Hondas that have tranny problems which require the tranny be replaced. He suggested I trade it in for a newer one. Well when I told him to look at it today, he said " I told u so!" Since it's past the 100K extended warranty period its doubtful that the manufacturer will cover the cost. This is my 3rd Honda and very disappointed that there hasn't been a recall on such a common problem that they obviously are well aware of!

Accord LX V4

  • Automatic transmission
  • 76,500 miles

I have had this 2001 Accord for not even one year and already I've spent quite significant amount of money on its repairs. I bought a used one last year with 67,000 miles and already had a Power steering problem which cost me 1300 $ to get it fixed.
Day before the check engine light came on and When checked with Autozone they say that code signals to Auto transmission system failure. I wonder why I was experiencing problems of engine reeving high and feeling with car having absolutely no power and pickup.
I don't have the recall letter and not sure what my fate is going to be. I checked my VIN online and it said I qualify for extended warranty. Still l am worried about the money it is going to cost me. I am not sure which dealer the car was bought from. Hopefully I get it fixed for free and don't face any other problems with it
