Consumer Description

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION ON MY 1999 HONDA ACCORD V-6 COUPE BEGAN SLIPPING AND SHIFTING ROUGHLY AT APPROXIMATELY 75,000 MILES. AAMCO DIAGNOSED A LUBRICATION PROBLEM CAUSING EXCESSIVE GEAR WEAR, AND RECOMMENDED REBUILDING THE TRANNY. HONDA DEALERSHIP CONCURRED WITH THIS DIAGNOSIS, AND REPLACED THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION. THE 2001-2003 V-6 ACCORDS HAVE ALREADY BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM. I BELIEVE A TRANSMISSION DESIGN FAILURE EXISTED AS FAR BACK AS THE 1998 ACCORD MODELS. A QUICK SEARCH ON THE INTERNET REVEALED OVER 200 COMPLAINTS REGARDING 1999 ACCORD V-6 TRANSMISSION FAILURES. THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM IF SOMEONE'S TRANSMISSION FAILS WHILE THEY ARE DRIVING. NOTE: THE WEBSITE DOES NOT OFFER ACCORD AS A VEHICLE MODEL OPTION, SO I SELECTED CRX, THE ONLY OPTION, INSTEAD. *NM
