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!

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

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!
