My 04 Honda Accord is slipping It will not accelerate passed 40mph if that. When I accelerate it will give me a big jerk and began to slow down if I try to accelerate it will idle really high but it will not pick up speed. It started off with a ticking sound in the engine I took it to the dealer they told me it was the hydraulic values and they adjust there self now the transmission is slipping and the car is no longer making the ticking sound. My car only has 65,000 miles on it this is reall bull crap Honda needs to fix this problem in these cars for free it's not like normal wear and tear this is a problem with the transmission they built, they have a recall on some of the 03-04 but it doesn't cover all of them just the ones that were made in 4/04 any car made after that dos'nt fall under that recall. Bullshit and they no it.

I've been complaining of this problem for months now; they check it out and say all is well.
I have them write it on my receipts; however, I've also mentioned the TPS may need to be
replaced...they tell me it's not that. I'd think that someone at the dealership could tell me something. I've even left my car and asked that they drive it...I'm sure they didn't.

As prescribed at close to 60,000 miles, my 2004 Honda Accord LX V6 which should really be grouped into the same model year as 2003 because of the date manufactured and current transmission problem that I am having. Getting on the highway at around 60mph is usually not a problem nor is passing someone at the same speed...until the transmission disengages/slips and you are coasting at 60 and your engine is redlining. Very scary if you are in heavy traffic.
This is a life threatening malfunction that Honda has not corrected or pitifully tried to correct with a recall in 2006. A known transmission defect like this should not be dealt with lightly .
Even at slow speeds of 30mph, the car's transmission slips and redlines the engine until it engages again with a jerking motion. I have read the complaints on this site and the same thing is happening to me. Honda quality? Well, it's not what it used to be that is for sure.
That's what happens when you bring a Japanese product to the U.S. and you TRY to replicate the same standards as you would on that island nation known for its quality products. I have a case number pending with Honda of America and will be taking the vehicle to a Honda dealer close by. This will be the last Honda I ever buy.

The entire process with Honda was just ridiculous. Ever since I bought the car I knew something wasn't right with the drive train. I complained that once the car warmed up, when I would come to a stop light I could feel the car pulling forward , a random pulsing in the brake pedal. Right before the warranty expired I took it in to the dealership again and complained again and had them take it out several times and they couldn't figure out what the problem was. They wrote on the paperwork "No problem found" and said they couldn't do anything unless it was broken. ie: underivable.
Well, whatever was wrong in the tranny/flywheel/clutch lasted for 20,000 miles longer (mostly highway). When on vacation in Canada it finally gave out. The Honda dealer would not even open the tranny and said it would be 5 grand. It could have been a 5 dollar part or a flywheel problem. Our vacation was ruined, had to abandon the car in another country until I could afford the repair and all the money spent on others things like the addition trip to get it and drive it back.
Honda America Customer service said they would "help" with the cost of the part (whole tranny, which they have and have rebuilt and resold to another sucker like me) they would never commit and just gave me maybe's. They didn't help with me being stranded in another country and in fact couldn't help with the repair at first. I had to pay it and then they said they might pay me back some of it; because they are separate from Canada. Good old corporate caring. I was going to buy a new 2008 Accord in the spring. HA!

Accord LX V6
I ended up having an accident and hitting a building; as I let up off the gas, the car jerked really hard and jumped the sidewalk and hitting the building. This is not joke and Honda should take the consumers reports more seriously! I've complained about this for almost 2 years and keep getting the same answer...everything is fine. Fine my you know what! On top of that, my airbag never deployed and the seat belt is jammed! Explain that! Thank God no one was at the ATM machine when this happened! I will never drive or purchase another Honda...they have had similar and same problems with 2003...this has gone on long enough and it's time that they take it serious!!!!
