96 Honda Accord LX 2.2L transmission failure at 79,758 miles. A rebuilt transmission was installed on 11/28/08 due to transmission constantly slipping and actually leaving my 23 yr old son, away at school stranded in the middle of the expressway. I have read online that many Honda Accord owners have had transmission problems as well. I would also like to note that american Honda never contacted us ref to the emissions warranty being extended to 14 years or 150,000 miles [bulletin 98-081 www.epa.gov/otaq/cert/recall/FR33394.htm ]. we found out ourselves while on the internet last month doing research on Honda transmissions. The rebuilt transmission replaced 11/28/08 failed us again when our son was returning to orlando. We had to go and tow the car back to miami for additional transmission repairs. This time it was due to a torque converter failure.
Electrical problems, with door lock actuators and SRS systems wheel alignment brake problems, transmission problems yes, parts were replaced, repaired but I still have the same problems, after spending thousands of dollars.
Defective balancer shaft seal broke loose, causing an engine replacement because of immediate oil loss w/no warning indicators. Just had oil change and transmission oil flush a month ago. Honda needs to reimburse costs of total repair due to defective item. Never received recall notice either.
Starting in Sept. Of 2001 my vehicle would not change from 3rd to 4th gear. The engine light came on, took it to a local mechanic. After checking it with his computer he found no problem, reset the check engine light. He researched the vehicle and told me that Honda was having problems with transmissions when it was humid!"!"! so I thought that I would see if it continued to do this when it cooled off. It has and it has gotten to the point that every morning it will not change gears until I have driven approximately 1/2 mile, stop and go again. Even then sometimes it doesn't change.
Transmission had developed a grinding noise. Consumer took vehicle to dealer, and they said could not find where the noise was coming from. Dealer stated that it had been a manufacturer's defect. Dealership stated transmission needed to be replaced, however Honda is not willing to cover any of the cost to replace it, vehicle has low mileage to be experiencing transmission problems.
My transmission went out at 35,000 miles they replaced it at no charge. Now at 46,000 miles the engine check light keeps coming on and ive taken it to the dealerships about 4 times they cant find anything wrong with it but I know its the transmission again because the car idles all the time like its going to die out on me and it has died out on me it runs crappy this is my first car and I paid alot for it Honda are supposed to be reliable and this one sure aint! they canged a computer part of the emissions control they said thats why the light comes on but I took it home and a week later it came back on. So Monday they are going to take the transmission out and check if its burnt out or something like that and if it is they are going to replace it again!!
