1. early (2006) I took my car in for service because the check engine was on, the car would buckle when changing gears and it was having problems accelerating. The car would not accelerate and this would occur more often after a stop. I would find myself turning at an intersection, etc. And the car would partially stall. Honda in jersey city NJ rt 440 replaced the erg (?) value after I took it in for service. 2. picked up the car after a 1 mile the check engine light returned and the car was giving me the same issue. 3. Honda replaced an additional part, the car appeared to be driving fine for a couple of weeks. 4. dropped off the Honda for an oil change at and the buckling issue when changing gears to planet Honda on rt 22 in elizabeth NJ. The car was returned stating no problem. The issue was never resolved. 5. I problem in recent months had worsen, yesterday 10/9/06 the car started stalling I was able to get it to a mechanic. The problem identified new transmission required. Mechanic also identified the problem as being seen by him on other Honda V6 cars. I want to mentioned that my car was under an extended warranty while in the shop in jersey city an of course the parts replaced were not covered by the warranty, granted that transmission would have been. I have also found a list of people complaining about their V6 transmission failing around the 85K mileage just as mine. Below is one of the list of complaints I found with a simple search. www.autofan.com/forum_thread.asp?message=10543.

At 84,366 miles my car's check engine light came on. Took Accord to mechanic and was told the egr valve error code appeared. The mechanic said to take to Honda due to recall for this part. Picked car up from mechanic and car also had SRS light on. Researched online since I already have recall for dash light. Found many other Honda owners with same SRS light. Found out my air bags will not function if sensor illuminated. Also, called Honda and they said I was beyond the mileage (80K) for the extended warranty on the defective egr valve replacement. Asked what Honda was doing about the front airbags and was told no decision has been made. I have also discovered my car has the extended warranty for defective/faulty transmission. So when I'm driving down the highway my tranmsmission may give out at high rate of speed and if collsion occurs, my air bags will not deploy. My seat weld joint broke at 54K too! I used a 99 Toyota 4runner as replacement vehicle and discovered the seatbelt warning light came on when my 40lb. Dog sat in passenger front seat. My Accord never has detected my dog in the front seat ever! this car is riddled with safety defects and poor manufacturing. Honda should be held responsible for protecting the owners from injury including monetary repairs/ replacement costs for all of these safety defects and engine defects.

One day while driving on down the highway, my car shifted from 4th gear to 2nd gear, and about made me run off the road.. I turned the car off for about 15 minutes. I was a long way from home or any place I could stop, so I tried to go again. When I tried again, the car did the same thing, and then became stuck in 2nd gear. I then had the car towed and the transmission replaced. The car had about 96K miles on it.

The tranmission will shift gears very losely and makes a clunking sound but only when it is in reverse. Now it shifts slugishly. Took dealer to the dealer twice and they couldn't find anything wrong with it. Now they think it is the motor mounts. The first time this happened was in October of 2002. Dash board lighting goes blank. A faulty multiflex light unit was found. Front brakes worn. Check engine light was on. Found faulty egr valve assembly and replaced. SRS light is on. Faulty opds unit was found.

The consumer started having problems with transmission in 2001. When the vehicle shifted to reverse it jerked abruptly. Problem became worse. Vehicle hesitated when in drive. This occurred every time the vehicle wa S driven. The vehicle will not shift smoothly from one gear to another. This became worse after the vehicle was driven for a while. Hesitation occurred while driving, even when the gears were not being changed. Dealer was never able to duplicate the problem. Therefore, no repair were done. Vehicle's owner noticed what she thought was transmission fluid in 2003. Dealer stated there was no problem with the transmission. Owner took vehicle to the service dealer several times, and every time the dealer relied on the computer to find a problem. None was ever found.

Purchased new 2000 Accord ex V-6, 4 dr-replaced transmission at 10,000 miles, then again around 55,000 miles. Now on third transmission and wondering how long this one will last. Also, now the SRS light is on and they say the seat belt has to replaced, as well as now the alternator and tensioner are being repalced ($600 job!). based on some other complaints, it seems the two are related, as well as the alternator problems being a result of the transmission problems.

2000 Honda Accord LX V6 automatic, with what else " transmission trouble" we purchased car and within 2 months would make horrible bang noide while backing up. Took to dealership with complaint 5 seperate times and they lied stating they did not know what problem was and could not find anything wrong. When I demanded the service manager and their transmission tech meet me one morning I described the problem and the tech knew exactly what it was and that a new transmission would need to be installed. After they put god knows what in it I tooks it back complaining of a noise they said they had it on the lift listened to it and could not find anything except tire noise, they thing broke right in there parking lot when we went to pick it up. I just looked at the jerk manager and said to him " couldn't find nothing wrong, don't ever go hicking there are rattlesnakes that make less noise than this transmission did and we don't need to loose anymore liars on our little planet now do we?!!!!". he had no response. Well now transmission # 3 is getting ready to bite the dirt, has been serviced every 30,000 miles and needing replaced with only 118,000 miles on vehicle, 68,000 since last one was put in. It will be the absolute coldest day in hell before I ever darken Honda doors again.

I bought my 2000 Honda Accord brand new. I noticed immediately it shifted rough but I kept it anyway. In 2003 at 84000 miles I was driving down the interstate and the car would not go over 30 mph, almost causing an accident on a busy day. I took it to the Honda dealer and they said I had too much transmission fluid in it. They cleaned the filter, and sent it back. It was still doing the same thing. I took it back and they made some adjustment, and it ran somewhat okay. Several months later it began to do it again. I took it somewhere else and they told me it was something else, and that the previous year there was an extended warranty issued on the car. I was 2-3 thousand miles over the extension at that point. I knew the transmission was bad the year before. The car would not run right after that. Dealer knows they were in the wrong and they were very rude with me. There has to be something I can do. I can't afford $4000 for a new transmission right now. I am thinking of taking legal action.

I bought my 2000 Honda Accord 2 drive in December 1999 brand new, and my first problem was the clunking noise everytime I would reverse. It felt I had hit something because it would jerk. I contacted the dealer and my transmission was replaced after only 4 months of having the car. Then again in 2002 my car started jerking and taking a long delay getting in gear. I took it into the dealer and my transmission was replaced at no charge. Now it's 2005, and I was advised I need another transmission because it jerks when I accelerate and it also delays when going into gear (feels like it in neutral when I'm accelerating). I've lost my faith in Honda's and something has to be done about this because I know of other people same car same problems.

Honda automatic transmission are failing left and right, and the new transmission Honda is replacing with are as bad as the originals. My 2000 Honda Accord automatic transmission failed at 53000 mile after many miles of making whistling, clicking, grinding noises and generally giving the impression you were about to be stranded. Honda replaced transmission under extended warranty in March of 2005 after requiring me to spend a $100 bucks to service the old one prior to diagnostics. Replacement transmission jerks and makes all kinds of noise when put in reverse and hit the gas. Local Honda dealer (hughes Honda in warner robins, ga) tries to link it to the some brake pad alignment non-sense in an attempt to get another $130 out of me. I told the service manager to change the pads with the agreement being the dealership would absorb the cost if the transmission noise was not fixed. Then the pads they just told me were worn out all of a sudden had tons of life left. The car with the same brake components and pads did not make the noise until after the new transmission was installed. Honda has a real problem and should be forced via recall to address any and all transmission problems or buy the car back.

Vehicle was unable to go into reverse when put into gear, which was preventing the vehicle from backing out if it needed to move out in case of an emergency. Consumer contacted manufacturer, and was informed that the vehicle was under warranty but the dealer could not duplicate the problem. Updated 3/28/2006 - the transmission is sluggish when going up hills until it reaches 20 mph -3/3/2006.

Complaint received via E-mail." Am the original owner of a 2000 Honda Accord SE. In 9-25-03 I took the car to the dealership because I was able to remove my key from the ignition without the car in park. Was told the switch inside the center console failed because soda was spilled. I would have to pay to replace it. I asked if it was a safety issue, and was told not to worry about it. If I wanted it fixed it would cost me about $200, and the part had to be ordered. Took car home, inspected under the console, and found no evidence of soda or any other substance. On 6-12-04 the car seemed to be having poor acceleration home at 4 pm, and at 1130 pm police notified me that my car was found in neighbor's yard, had ran into the corner of the home, causing $3000 damage to home and $800 to front of car. On July 13 2004 check engine light came on. Car had smoke coming from underneath, as well as transmission fluid leaking. Had to have car towed to dealership. Requested they check the ignition issue. Also, next day I received a call, stating that transmission had to be replaced. I asked about the ignition issue, and was told that they forgot to look at it. I insisted it be looked at, and told them what happened the last time at another dealership. I was aware of a recall on the 1999 model, and that other people with same make & model had a similar problem.

My transmission on my 2000 Honda Accord just went out. Took it to dealer and even though it falls within the perameters of the Honda extended warranity, they refuse to fix it. I think these faulty transmissions should be recalled.

I have a 2000 Honda Accord LX sedan with a little over 75,000 miles on it. Saturday May 4th of this year on my way from mesquite to arlington my car just failed to move. Engine was running but the car wouldn't pick a gear to move on, luckily a gentleman behind me helped push the car off to the shoulder. I was stranded on the side of interstate 35 and had to request aaa come tow my car to the dealership lute riley in richardson. The dealership was closed sat by the time I got there so Monday morning when I went in I had researched and discovered this was a known defect in the sixth generation Accord. But I was informed at midday by my service advisor shawn that I needed to pay to have my solenoids replaced since thats what the technician reports as the problem so me being a college student and heavily reliant on my transportation especially during finals week paid for it. Sure enough couple of days later same issue where the car dies again in my school parking lot and I had it towed once again by aaa over to lute riley. This time when I went in on Thursday May 6th they sang a different tune that my transmission had failed and that it was covered under an extended warranty by Honda so they will replace it for free but will need to keep it for a week while they order one. Now my issue is returning the $350 plus that I spent on repairing solenoids that weren't in need of being replaced. I will be reporting this to Honda's corporate hq like so many other Honda owners have already done. Please do what you can to help save other people this headache and possible endangerment of life when a vehicle fails on our highways! additionally I request that you include Honda's recall\extension of warranty on all 2000-2001 Accord, oddesseys, and Prelude in your "safety recall" search engine (this is open information on Honda's homepage but it would be nice to have it available in as many places possible).

My Accord dies out on warm start ups when it is in cold weather conditions. I also called Honda usa and they told me that it was not suppose to no matter how cold it was. I brought it to Honda of sf twice already, but they couldn't duplicate the problem. A few of my friends have the same problems with their Accord.
