Accord EX 3.0L V6
- Automatic transmission
- 92,000 miles
Just bought this car 13 days ago. Have only put 400 miles on the car. It is my fiance's car and she has been complaining about jerking since we bought it but everytime I drove the car it drove fine. Then today I drove and the transmission completely went out. The check engine light came on, automatic transmission defect code, and the TCS light came on also. The car was slipping very badly and I had to put it in first just to get it to move. I took it to a local transmission shop and they test drove and checked the fluid and told me the tranny needed replaced. I called Honda America and they said there is no recalls and it is not under warranty so there is nothing they can do. The dealership where I bought it said they will not do anything as did the local Honda dealership. After doing research and seeing how common this is I can't believe Honda is not offering a recall. I own an Acura Integra and my fiance just totaled her Honda Prelude which is why we bought this car. Up until today I would only buy Honda and would recommend them to anybody. I think I'm switching to Toyota now!

I hear ya Ladies and Gents..I have a 2002 Accord EX V6 and my tranny is on the outs...Lets unite! They should have just added $2500 to the price of the Accord because EVERYONES transmission is shot. Its F'd up and American Honda should listen. My family members all buy Hondas but since this problem and lack of response from Honda, no more Honda purchases.
