Accord EX 2.3L I4
- Automatic transmission
- 125,000 miles
In 2003, when the car had 34,000 miles, the transmission went out and was replaced under warranty. Then, in 2007, the transmission began to slip, becoming hesitant in 1st gear and shifting hard from 1st to 2nd, and 2nd to 3rd. Took the car to Roper Honda in Joplin, MO, who drove the vehicle and claimed they did not feel the problem. Now the car has 145,000 miles and still slips and is hesitant on takeoff. I should have taken the car to another dealership, as they recently had the same attitude concerning the SRS light staying on.

This is the second time this transmission has failed! I had a very reputable transmission specialist rebuild the original unit completely at 60500 and this one also failed at 119k! What a hunk of junk! I bought a BMW.

I had always had Toyotas before and had heard Honda was so great. Everything else was as expected on car. My complaint is that it had JUST gone out of warranty and I had that trans rebuilt....but it happened again at 119k miles. I am so frustrated I just parked the piece of crap!! I bought a BMW.I am going to see if I can get this one fixed and a refund on the first repair! I love my BMW 750LI!!!

Yep just from reading the other posts I really don't have to put much here... this is the short story...
Last summer my car started jerking between 1st and 2nd... would fall into neutral and then jam back into 1st. Got worse and worse... especially when hot out. Finally the whole thing seized up... replaced the transmission last October. Now roll forward to today June 17th 2008... and guess what??? Thats right my car is doing it again! Its only been 8 months!
Also complaints about the rotor and breaks wearing unevenly I can relate to. I have had the same issues. If I had known about all these issues I would have never bought this car.

Transmission failure at low mileage. Absurd. Now the dealer may raise a stink over maintenance records when it is clearly a design defect in the car. I think my next car will be a Toyota.

Took car to two different Honda dealers over the past 3 years for rough shifting / jumping between 1-2 gears when upshifting/down shifting. Told 4 times the dealer was not able to repeat the problem and to bring it back once I could get it to repeat for them.... just 10K outside of purchased extended warranty and the torque converter disintegrates inside the transmission. Honda will replace the transmission for $3700.00.. not under warranty.

Geez...where to start?!?! Well, I guess with the transmission since it was/continues to be the largest problem. Let me first say that if there is a lemon on the lot, I am sure to find it. This is my second car with tranny probs (first was a Mercury Sable)!! ERGH!
Ok, when I first bought this [used] car in October 2005, it was in the shop roughly 6 times before the end of the year for several different, recurring (minor) problems. Suddenly, I began to notice what felt like a jerking. I held off taking it for service for this issue for several months because 1) they couldn't even fix the minor issues I kept having, and 2) I thought it may be paranoia from the problems I had with my previous car. The jerking got worse; occurring more often and harder. I finally took the car in for this issue in November 2006, and the transmission was replaced for free (I had an unexpired extended warranty and it fell under that 109K extended warranty for specified transmissions, but I am not sure which warranty picked up the cost).
Shortly after the repair, I noticed the jerking again, which is getting worse and worse. I took the car in twice after the "new" transmission was put in, and of course, they can't find any problems. SO--I am back to where I started, except this time the mileage is over 109K and my extended warranty is expired.
Let me also note: I have spent over $600 on brake system repairs (2 sets of rotors, I don't know how many sets of brakes, a caliper, alignment, balancing--I am sure there is more), and still have a shaking when braking issue; my brake light STILL comes on intermittently when the car is cold, which was one reason my car was in the shop those 6 times before the end of the first year that I purchased it; and my SRS light has come on a couple of times.
SUCKS!! Here I am stuck with another car that is a money pit, and the only reason I felt the need to have a car payment (as my other money pit was paid off) was for the security (you know--Honda's reputation for "excellent, long-lasting" cars).

Since I bought my 2001 Accord V6, within the 30,000 mile warranty the first transmission went out, so they replaced it with a re-built one, next around 60,000 the next one went out and it also had the same problem, so at 94,000 here we go again. As it was still being covered my American Honda I made no complaints, Now I'm at 138,000 and still the tranny fails, so they informed me that they would comp the actual re-built but I had to pay for the labor 800.00 dollars later, and now that I'm at 170,000 this is the final straw as I coming up on my 6th. transmission, it appears that I'm no longer being covered for the same issues. I'm a dedicated Honda buyer, but am losing faith in them. How many corrupt trany's can I go through before they fix the problem?....

I bought this car from my mother in law in 2006. Car was running great. When I purchased the car, the mileage was 109,000. I went and put a new timing belt on due to mileage and then in a few months the transmission started acting funny. It was pop going from Park to Reverse and then it starting slipping from 1st to 2nd. This eventually got worse, so I had to locate a wrecked Honda in the state of Alabama and bought a transmission from a salvage yard. This cost me $980 plus $400 for labor. The salvage transmission I bought had 73,000 miles on it and I'm to pick it up today from the garage. Keeping my fingers crossed that this transmission lasts a while. I can't keep affording these problems. Other than the transmission, all is fine with the car. I was just hoping the transmission would have lasted me well over 200,000 miles.

I didn't find this website until recently when someone pointed it out to me. However, my story seems to be a little better than most. I've always taken my car to the Honda dealer I got it from. Many people think they get ripped by the dealer, but I've been hosed far worse by the quickie little oil lubes and shady garages than dealers. Dealers have their franchise to worry about, and they DO have access to all the information about your car. Joe in the corner shop just fixes a car and charges for it, whereas I've gotten my car back thinking I had a big bill and it ended up covered by a warranty I didn't know about.
Regarding my transmission, it was the same thing. It started slamming into gear, a little at first, and then pretty badly. I took it in and they gave me some info. There's no recall on these transmissions. But there is a warranty extension. And it was good till 109,000 miles. Yes I had more miles. But since I always take my car back to the dealer they covered it under what they called "good will". And that, my friends, was worth the several years of $30.95 oil changes, which still cost me about the same as the quickie lube when I used to go there. I also have a ford, and you can bet your butt it also goes to the dealer, in case I need that good will someday.

Unfortunately, I did not discover this website before taking the car to a mechanic. He in fact told me of his problems with his own Honda, but failed to mention that the car may be under extended warranty. It is under extended warranty, a fact I discover after having incurred the $3,000 bill. I wonder if any one has a suggestion as to what I might do next (other than gripe, rant and yell).

Just a word to the wise. Bought this car BRAND NEW (my first!) because I wanted to have a car that would last >10 years or 150K miles. Not an unexpected outcome for a Honda. However, within the first 28000 miles, the transmission began to whine and fail to up shift out of first gear. The solution, new transmission. Just great, I thought, now I will be set for the 100K+ miles. NOT SO FAST BUCKO! At 48,500 miles, the *identical* problem occurs. The solution, yet again, a new transmission. Yes, it was covered by the warranty extension given by Honda motor corp, BUT shouldn't a transmission last longer than a set of brakes? Well my next move is to get rid of this car, as the extended warranty only lasts for 9 years, and I am 7 years in....

I have to say, I am very happy I found this website. I just bought this 2001 accord used from a nice couple 3,000 miles ago, and one morning, the shifting started to get fairly rough. It progressively got worse, and started jerking and hanging even when the car was warm (when the symptoms would typically go away). Just 2 weeks ago, the transmission delayed so long between 2nd and 3rd gear that the RPMs redlined, causing the �check engine �light to illuminate.
It was pretty clear that transmission failure was just around the corner so I got online to try and figure out what was going on and wanted to see if other 01 Accord owners were experiencing the same thing. Transmissions should not fail at 60,000 miles, and definitely not on a Honda. I have owned a combination of 4 Hondas and Acuras in the past, never once running into an issue like this, so I was pretty stunned to say the least.
One of the previous postings said that Honda had extended the powertrain warranty to 7yrs/100K miles because of poor workmanship on the transmission. Further research indicated that this is a common problem with 2000-2001 Accords, Preludes and Odysseys, and in the winter of 2002, Honda sent out a letter to the owners of these vehicles notifying them of the symptoms and extending the warranty.
I am happy to tell you that I took my car down to the local Honda dealership, and was told that a new transmission would be ordered and installed free of charge under the warranty. It is VIN # specific, so dig around in your files and make sure you have this letter from Honda Motor Corp with the transmission warranty extension.
Yes it was inconvenient to lose my car for a couple of days so it could be repaired, but it is a lot better than having to drop a couple thousand dollars on a replacement transmission on a relatively young car.

Thank God I found this site! My 2001 Honda Accord transmission failed at around 82,000 miles! Can you believe that? It seems like I'm not the only one. I'm glad I'm not alone! My car started jerking and hesitating at first...and then I heard strange noises coming from the engine. All of a sudden I saw the "D4" indicator light started flickering on and off. I took this problem to my local Honda dealer.
At first they did a transmission flush and replaced the fluid. A month later, the check engine light came back on and the car started to jerk and hesitate again like last time. It seems like a lot of people had this same problem. Luckily, Honda extended the transmission warranty to 7 yrs, 9 months or 109,000 miles whichever comes first. Only because they were sued. Which cause them to extend the warranty longer! Or else, everyone would still get the 3 yr, 36,000 warranty crap.
So I contacted my local Honda dealer about this and it is V.I.N specific. Which means I had to give them my VIN number in order for them to check to see whether or not this transmission extended warranty applies to my car.
Thank god it did! They replaced my transmission without any cost to me whatsoever! However, after reading everyone's complaints about how their second rebuilt transmission is starting to act up tells me that maybe I should sell my car while it's still running. It seems like the older model accords in the 90's are built tougher than today's models!

Second Honda I've had (1996 Accord and now 1999 Accord), excellent cars until they hit 100K miles then the fall apart. Both cars were hand downs from my family and both cars had similar problems after hitting 100K. Gauge failures, wheel bearings, etc. All not too bad to fix maybe $100 to $300. But the real kicker is both transmissions failed at around 110K. Honda doesn't repair transmissions and wants $4000 to replace it. Going to go to AAMCO to see if they can repair it for cheaper. If you're getting near 100K or 110K with no problems yet, sell the damn thing!

Like everyone else's story, my transmission went out on my 2001 Honda Civic last week at only 69,000 miles! I always kept up on the maintenance for this car, including a transmission service just recently at 60,000 miles. And the reason why my husband and I bought Honda's (unfortunately we have 2) is because we thought they were good quality cars which run forever. Never again will we ever buy a Honda because of this! Very disappointed, especially in hearing all these other occurrences. With all these transmissions failing, why didn't Honda ever recall!? I smell a class action...

Shortly after purchasing the car it began to shift rough when shifting from first to second gear. It progessively got worst until the standard warranty ran out. Since we had complained about the problem at every oil change, done by the dealer, Honda did finally stepped-up to the plate and extended the warranty to 100K miles for the transmission. They also, covered a rental car.

I bought my Honda in 01, and since then I have had my transmission changed twice. Both times it was covered under the warranty, but now that I'm reaching the end of the 7year/100kmile warranty.. I'm getting a little nervous. Honda should really reissue an extra extension on the warranty. Does anyone have any feedback or ideas?

When I decided to take it to 1 dealership, they treated me so awful. Just nasty and rude. Now, I am without a car for 5 days because I cannot drive it, because my travel to work, home, school and other activities. I am at 99,400. There is a warranty being covered through Honda for this problem up to 100,000 miles. FYI, please pass it on... because, I was not notified by HONDA at all. The recall came out in 2004.

I drive in Montreal Quebec Canada - mostly highway miles. almost 100000miles
I am on my 3rd transmission and absolutely disgusted at Honda.
I bought this car planning to keep it for a long time - possibly 200,000+ miles
Previously I had an new 1990 accord, it had a brand new 4 speed automatic transmission, that car was destroyed by my son at 125000 miles or it would still be running today. Conditions in Montreal are harsher than LA - so folks this is what will happen to your cars.
My transmission jumped from 4th to 3rd on the highway on 2 cold days recently - I am sure I am headed towards my 4th transmission - hopefully before the extended warranty runs out. But then what? I can't afford a new car right now, my finances are in the toilet, and I suspect the sales price of my Accord will be there too.
I wonder if there isn't an alternative transmission that would work?
An older model or a newer one - anyone got any ideas on this?

I have owned my 2001 Accord since November 2004. I bought it with 48,000 miles on it. Six months after I bought it, I noticed a metal on metal grinding sound as the wheels rotated. Honda told me the transmission needed to be replaced, and they did so at no cost to me. I was happy, but now, just 20,000 miles later, the transmission starts shifting from 1st to 2nd very hard. Honda again tells me the transmission needs to be replaced, and they again are doing so at no charge to me. I'm happy with the service I am receiving, but am irritated that I need it in the first place! My warranty runs out at 100,000 miles or next year, whichever comes first. So, I will probably be forced to trade it in before then so this third transmission doesn't go out on me after the warranty expires. This makes me angry because I absolutely love this car! I wish Honda would issue a recall and fix the problem permanently instead of replacing transmissions with apparently defective transmissions and simply recycling the problem!

I always knew that something was wrong with the way it changed gears, so I asked a couple of people to look at it and all of them came up with the same answer: transmission. So after a year and a half passed by I was still having the same problem. Shortly, after I got a letter in mail saying that there was a recall on the transmission but only for the cars that had less than 109,000 miles through August of 2006. I took my car to the dealer still because I started having this problem way before I got to 113,000 miles. When I got to the Honda Dealer the sales rep cut me off and asked how many miles did I have on my car and then said in a rude way, "Sorry only for cars under 109,000. You'll have to fix it yourself if it completely gives out".

My transmission failed at 117,000 miles. The proposed class action settlement extends the warranty to 109,000 miles. My dealer, Joyce Honda of Randolph New Jersey, fixed it under warranty even though I have exceeded the mileage of the settlement. I have had no other problems whatsoever with this car. I have owned it since new, over 5 years, and it has cost me nothing but gas and oil changes and has plenty of more miles left in it. Five years from now, when this car hits 200,000 miles, I'll buy another new Honda. Honda did everything right by me.

For my first used car purchase, I decided to buy a Honda because of the excellent reliability and worry free history their cars had. I bought a 2001 Accord Coupe, Automatic with 59200 Miles in Aug 2005 from a Nissan dealership. Thinking both reputable companies I should have no problems.
By May 2006 I noticed from 1st to 2nd gear it would rev really high before getting into gear and also when the engine was cold putting it into reverse to back out of the garage. Both ways caused the gears to roughly get into gear, making a clunking sound.
Lucky for me (is it?) Honda had an extended warranty for this problem and I received a re-built transmission, of course they never put in a new one.
After this I investigated further into my car's history, Nissan only had recent invoices when I purchased it (that should be a flag for everyone - get the full history or else someone is hiding problems!). I noticed the manuals had the name of the dealership this car was originally sold from. I spoke to someone there and he secretly faxed me the history (he is not supposed to give me the information, but felt bad for me). What a shock I got, this car ALREADY had the TRANSMISSION REPLACED at 53400 miles!!!
I was so angry... I had sold my 1996 Ford Explorer in which I never had any problems for a MOST RELIABLE HONDA!! I'm still upset. Now I don't know whether to hang onto it or get rid of it.
Is this transmission going to go again for the 3rd or 4th time??
I also checked the internet and there it was....2001 Accords having transmission problems. They mostly said it was the V6, which is not what I have, but I also found complaints for my type. I'm going through this website to determine if and what vehicle I should start looking at.

So my problem started when I would be coming to a stop (down around 10 miles an hour), and would give it gas to start going again & it would jerk & make a loud popping noise (basically sounded like something dropped out of the bottom of the car). So I get the transmission replaced & as soon as I drive out of the parking lot of the dealership right before I come to a complete stop the car jerks forward & pops! What is going on???? So now I have to take it back in again. So the old transmission problem is gone - but now I have a new one???? I have been a loyal customer for years.

My problem was that the car starting jerking into gear at low speeds. It did this for a long while before I took it to the dealer because it was not consistant. They did some computer checks on the system and it showed up there. They did replace the transmission under the 100,000 warrranty but no transmission should go out that early. I am tempted to get another car. The reason I got this car was because of the perceived reliability of it. Think I will stick with Toyotas. My last one lasted 250K miles

Well i understand all of my fellow accorder's. This was the most recent failure with my trans. I am one my THIRD transmission and very close to voiding the extended warranty. so if this is the first time, be prepared!!!!! Though both honda dealers in california took awesome care of me. I worry about raves and rands that hondas lasts 10 even 15 years 200,000 miles and keep ticking...... sorry honda, have you lost sight of above and beyond quality to meet high demand???..... Oh and a little bit one could say? No i speak for all who stay quiet. I have three close friends, all have had their OG trans. changed([1]2000,[2]2001).

Luckily this was covered under the extended warranty and I was supplied a rental car to help with my commute. It was, however, quite scary pulling out into the highway and have my transmission fail!! I had felt it slipping, and being aware of the extended warranty, wasn't completely freaked out. I do wish the transmission was as reliable as my 1994 Accord's. I am also afraid to recommend Honda to my friends any more due to the extensive problems I have had with this one! I have already convinced one friend to buy one, I hope the 2005 Accord EX has less severe problems.

Three transmission failures with the fourth one currently slipping. The first transmission they claimed they replaced when in fact they did not. We checked the numbers on the transmission the second time to make sure the transmission was swapped.

We have the extended warranty but Honda so far has refused to pay for it because we have not changed our transmission fluid every 48,000 km. Fluid is okay and we have checked it according to their maintenance schedule.

You describe your transmission problem or ask your question and they try to help you figure it out. The fee is typically $9 to $15, but you can offer to pay more for really tough questions.

I am really wondering why there are still many Honda on the street? Friends, if you buying your next car on Honda, think again and doing research of hard lessons from other drivers. Pay attention on Honda transmission design problem and how many failures been discovered. After I spent $4,100 to replace the transmission, I learned Honda had recall on 2003 Accord V6 model to replace the transmission, too bad it didn't cover my 2001 V4 Accord but you can think about how bad of such design! Their designers should get back to the design board and don't come out until you have solid solution, don't trade us as your alpha test bed!
