I recently purchased a this car due to a outstanding lease deal. However i slowly stated to notice vibrations. The dealer told me the transmission had to be replaced. It was an inconvenience going back and forth from the Honda dealer for almost 2 weeks. Now i am worried it will happen again after the warranty period is over. Furthermore i have had other problems with this vehicle.

Although the vehicle only has 4800 miles, it has always felt like the car was stuttering. The transmission seemed to change gears too much - even when driving on the highway at a constant speed. The dealer says it is a "fluke" and will replace the transmission under warranty, but I am leary given the transmission history Honda has experienced with the Accord.

At 18,000 miles, a transmission should not need replacement! Here's the story. One morning the transmission light came on upon start. The car struggled to change gears, revving high before it would violently shift into gear. Brought it to a Honda dealership right away. They weren't sure the problem from the get go, but thought it had to do with the sensor. They replaced it and said the indicator light didn't go off so they had to go back in. Then they said there were two wires that were chewed up and they suspected a small critter had been keeping warm. They said they found nuts and berries in there as well. Although this isn't uncommon, I find it a little strange they didn't notice this before. Anyway, they replaced the wiring and the indicator light remained on. The next step was to replace the transmission. The car was in the shop a total of 25 days. They covered everything under warranty, except the wiring. A car rental was provided for me as well. I have a nagging feeling that because I paid for the wiring, I will somehow be responsible for the transmission when it goes after another 18k miles! It's difficult to trust the dealership when I feel they may be trying to cover their butts for a faulty transmission, which apparently they have a long history in Accord models. I doubt I will buy another Honda at this point.

Transmission has been worked on 3 times since August. It finally "blew" out yesterday. Dealership is replacing with a refurbished one and are not extending my warranty. I have been extremely unhappy with this situation.

2007 2 door accord....I was going up a plowed drive way, was stuck for less then 5 min to get out of a steep long drive way at a 30 sec point the car did not move and the wheels spun.. the rpm never passed 5 and the gas was never floored.. previous to this the car was making a noise. Honda said that it was because I had put an after market brake pad on and that I would hear the noise and feel a vibration, and I did hear and feel the noise. Later there was a severe shaking when lightly applying the brake when driving on the highway.. again back to my story.. the next day after the drive way incident.. the car was sticking in gear 3 and slipping when in 1st.. I parked and the transmission then blew.. honda stated that the car was "abused" and that they are going to deny the warranty claim despite that there are only 34,000 miles and its still covered original power train warranty. And it didn't matter that I purchased the 1800 $ dollar extended warrantee.. they suggested for me to call my insurance co.. I did and they stated that this is a honda issue & they will send an inspector but honda should honor the warranty.. I asked the service dept how does an 07 accord transmission blow? He stated, "well it only takes one snow storm( well that doesn't say much for honda) also note that I really didn't explain the plowed driveway, as they had already made up their mind the cause was the snow storm 2 days before. And they stated that when they opened the trans that they would see burned parts that would determine that the wheels were out of control and must had been on a snow bank. The final diagnosis was that when they opened it, they said a pin broke off in the trans and punctured something and damaged parts, it was burned, and the fluid leaked out...
