2004 HONDA ACCORD Power Train Problems

I have 22 recalls in my Jerry app and also on here. Have problems when first starting up and shifting just got from a dealer in Ohio. Maybe a year and a half ago my name is Tracy Harney my address is 702 Inverness place ft thomas Ky 41075 also my air bag light is on and my headlights are not very visible at nite wondering if all recalls on vehicle were fixed. Or still open. 8599076824. Leave message if don’t answer if you call.

The transmission in my 2004 Honda Accord V6 3.0L is experiencing a serious safety defect. The transmission overheats while driving, begins slipping, and eventually the vehicle will not move at all. When this happens, I lose the ability to accelerate or maintain speed, creating a dangerous situation for me and other drivers. I have to pull over and wait for the transmission to cool before the car will move again. This failure matches the symptoms described in Honda’s prior transmission recall 04V176000 (overheating and gear failure due to lubrication issues). I have contacted Honda about this issue, and they opened Case #16008926, but the problem is ongoing and has not been resolved. The problem is reproducible and happens repeatedly after the transmission warms up. Warning symptoms include overheating and severe slipping before total loss of movement. This is a major safety hazard because the vehicle can suddenly lose power in...

Second gear jumps erratically , loses power and won’t move until you shut the engine off and start again , second gear still jumps afterwards..

2004 Honda Accord V6 178000k miles Car was just driving fine through all gears then out of nowhere as I was driving on the freeway going approximately 65 mph the car violently jerked because the transmission locked up and my car broke like if i pulled the emergency brake almost causing me to crash into another vehicle. The (RPM) then went up to redline. I pulled over restarted the car and as I tried to drive off, the cars (RPM) was way too high for example if I drove 40mph the (RPM) was at 4,000 revolutions witch can cause damage to the engine, If i went 60 mph and the (RPM) was at redline. So I had a friend tow the vehicle. Once home I drove around the neighborhood and the car won't switch gears it stays at 1st gear ( hence the high RPM) and it violently jerks the...

One day I was driving on the highway I all of a sudden lost power to acceleration. The rpm went up and I pulled over. Put it back in drive to a lower gear to make it home safe. Never had problems with my car until recently. It seems when I get up over 45mph is when the acceleration gives out.

I got off of work early in the morning I get in my 04 Honda Accord and start driving home which only takes about 10minutes, I'm super tired so I go inside and go to sleep rougly around 2 hours, I wake up suddenly to my car alarm going off which I always keep my vehicle locked when Its not visible from me, Anyways I grab my key and click the unlock and lock button but I still hear the alarm going off so I head outside of my home and I see my cars interior on fire and my neighbors already on the phone with 911as he was sitting outside 20 minutes prior, me running frantic back inside for a fire extinguisher first responders we're already there so I run back out the doors are still locked so the first responder climbs on top of my car and kicked...

Several months ago while driving on the freeway, the CEL came on and the engine revved high without any power to the wheels, as if the transmission automatically went into neutral. It eventually went back into gear. The car was subsequently towed back home and is not currently drivable since gears continue to slip.

I was having problems with my transmission and had a mechanic look at it and I was told there was a recall for 04 Honda accords, i was also told it was very dangerous to drive my car while my transmission wasn’t engaging properly

Transmission is stalling I had it looked over my a technician they informed me of a recall for 04 Honda accords for the transmission

Automatic transmission. Car stalls out coming to/at stop in drive. Idling is way to high and irregular. Potential for crash.

Transmission seems to disengage after 20 minutes of driving and the worse bthong about it is it does it on the highway causing me to pull over shit the car off and wait 5 minutes start it back up put it in the gear and sometimes it doesn't go in the gear it won't go into reverse we'll go in the drive we'll go in the drive 3 won't go in the drive to or one and then I got to shut it off and wait again then I do it all over again and then I'll get driving again and after about 3 minutes 4 minutes it'll do it again and I have to pull over why is it doing this it does it when I'm stopped at a stoplight and when the light turns green I drive and I'll get stuck in the middle of an intersection it'll...

IT SEEMS AS IF MY TRANSMISSION IS FAILING. IT JERKS WHEN IT?S PUT IN DRIVE OR REVERSE. ON THE HIGHWAY OR ANYTIME THAT IT?S IN MOTION IT JERKS WHEN CHANGING GEARS AND IT GETS STUCK BETWEEN 3 AND 4 RPM. *TR

WAS DRIVING MY DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL IN THE 2004 HONDA ACCORD V6. HEARD A LOUD POP AND IT JUST STOPPED AND REVVED UP IN EVERY GEAR AND WHEN I TRIED PUTTING IT IN PARK IT MADE A LOUD GRINDING NOISE. HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED HOME AND IT HASN'T WORKED SINCE!

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A CITY ROAD AND THE VEHICLE STARTED TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN AND IT DID NOT WANT TO SHIFT GEAR. I WAS ABLE TO APPLY BRAKES BUT THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE TO VERY HIGH RPMS. I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO TURN THE SHUT OFF THE CAR MIDWAY AND PULL-OVER. WHILE STATIONARY AND CAR SHUT OFF ON SIDE OF THE ROAD I TRIED TO TURN IT BACK IT AND IT AUTOMATICALLY JUMPED TO HIGH RPM AND WAS NEVER ABLE TO CHANGE GEARS FROM PARK TO DRIVE OR ANYTHING BECAUSE THE CAR WOULD TAKE OFF. AFTER 45 MINUTES OF LETTING THE CAR FIGURE ITSELF OUT, IT STOPPED REVVING TOO HIGH RPM AND WAS ABLE TO GO BACK HOME. THE ISSUE HAS STOPPED BUT NOW WHEN I START THE CAR UP AND SWITCH FROM PARK TO DRIVE THE CAR HAS A DELAYED ENGAGEMENT. ALSO, NOW MY STEERING...

WHEN DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE FOR OVER AN HOUR THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN SLIPPING BUT ONCE I BEGAN DRIVING ON HILLS THE TRANSMISSION WAS NO LONGER CATCHING AND I COULD NO LONGER DRIVE THE CAR. THE ELECTRICAL ISSUE COMES FROM THE WINDOWS NOT RESPONDING IMMEDIATELY TO ME PRESSING THEM DOWN AND THE LOCK BUTTON ON THE REMOTE AND THE LOCK BUTTON ON THE CAR DOOR DO NOT LOCK.

WHILE OUR SON WAS DRIVING HIS 2004 ACCORD THE TRANSMISSION, WITHOUT WARNING OR ANY INDICATION, WENT OUT AND HE LOST POWER WHILE GOING APPROXIMATELY 40MPH. IT IS APPARENT WITH EXTENSIVE RESEARCH THAT I HAVE DONE THAT TRANSMISSIONS IN THESE VEHICLES HAVE BEEN A KNOWN PROBLEM AND HONDA CORPORATE IS UNWILLING TO DO ANYTHING TO INVESTIGATE WHAT CAUSED THE ISSUE. THE VEHICLE HAS HAD REGULAR MAINTENANCE DONE AND ALL THE PAPERWORK FOR ANYTHING MAJOR BEING DONE. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW IF YOU MAINTAIN A VEHICLE THAT SOMETHING LIKE THIS CAN OCCUR WITHOUT WARNING OR NO INDICATIONS THAT IS WAS ABOUT TO GO OUT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE JERKED WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE OUT OF FIRST GEAR.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS CALLED, BUT THE CONTACT WAS PLACED ON HOLD AND THEN THE CALL DISCONNECTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 175,000.

HELLO, I WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE COULD HELP ME WITH THIS. I OWN A 2004 HONDA ACCORD WHICH HAS LESS THAN 84K MILES. IT RECENTLY VERY SUDDENLY HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. NOW, A MECHANIC HAS DETERMINED IT MUST BE REPLACED. I THINK I FOUND AN APPLICABLE RECALL, RECALL NHTSA ID NUMBER: 04V176000 HONDA/AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. I LOOKED UP THE VIN NUMBER IN YOUR LOOKUP TOOL, BUT IT DID NOT SHOW UP. HOWEVER, I THINK THIS IS BECAUSE THE CAR AND/OR RECALL IS OVER 15 YEARS OLD. I BELIEVE I HAVE FOUND DOCUMENTS ON YOUR SITE THAT SHOW THAT THE VIN FALLS WITHIN THE POSSIBLY EFFECTED VEHICLES. IN THIS DOCUMENT: HTTPS://STATIC.NHTSA.GOV/ODI/RCL/2004/RCDNN-04V176-4295.PDF - THERE IS A SECTION THAT DESCRIBES MY VEHICLE - HONDA ACCORD 4D V6, CERTAIN 2004 MODEL YEAR - 1HGCM665*4A[XXX] ' 1HGCM668*4A[XXX]. MY VEHICLE HAS VIN NUMBER 1HGCM66554A[XXX]. I BELIEVE I FALL WITHIN THIS WINDOW....

I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK, EXITING THE DOWNTOWN AREA AND ENTERING THE FREEWAY, WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR. THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT RE-ENGAGE WITHOUT MOVING THE SHIFTER DOWN TO THE D3 GEAR FIRST. I WAS ABLE TO LIMP THE CAR USING THIS METHOD TO THE NEAREST TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOP. THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR SEVERAL MORE TIMES ON THE DRIVE TO THE REPAIR FACILITY. IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A FAULTY THIRD CLUTCH AND A REPAIR ESTIMATE OF $3200-3400 FOR A REBUILT TRANSMISSION. I CHOSE A DIFFERENT REPAIR SHOP, WITH AN EQUALLY GOOD REPUTATION, AND HAD THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT FOR $2700. IT HAS BEEN BACK TO THE SAME REPAIR SHOP 3 TIMES AFTER THE REBUILD WITH SIMILAR SYMPTOMS.

2004 HONDA ACCORD V6 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING OUT AT ONLY 145,000 MILES. I CALLED A FEW TRANSMISSION SHOPS AND THE 2003, 2004, & 2005 HONDA ACCORDS WITH THE V6 ENGINE ARE KNOWN TO GO OUT AROUND THIS MILEAGE. I CALLED HONDA AND THEY DENIED THAT THERE WAS ANYTHING WRONG. I CHECKED OTHER ONLINE FORUMS AND THEY ALL STATE THAT THE TRANSMISSIONS ARE FAULTY AND SHOULD BE RECALLED.

I HAD THE ABS LOOKED AT AT ANOTHER DEALER AND FOR $100 AN "ELECTRICAL SWITCH" UNDER THE GAS PEDAL WAS REPLACED. THE POWER STEERING FLUID WAS LEAKING AGAIN. THEY SAID THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE FIXED FOR $2000 AND THAT MY CAR WAS NOT IN THE RECALL. I SAW MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT TRANSMISSION LEAKS ONLINE AND ABOUT THE GAS DOOR NOT OPENING. THE DEALER DIDN'T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT THAT. (ENGINE MOUNTS AND HOOD STRUTS ARE POPULAR ITEMS ON AMAZON.) I WAS LUCKY THAT MY HEAD WASN'T UNDER THERE WHEN THE HOOD FELL. I...

I AM ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS CAR PURCHASED AT BEGINNING OF 2004. 12 YEARS LATER WE ARE HAVING TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT 90,000 MILES. I CALLED HONDA BECAUSE THEIR WEBSITE LISTED THE RECALL FOR MY YEAR AND MODEL BUT WHEN I SEARCHED IT BY VIN NO RECALL APPLIES. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE RECALL DOESN'T APPLY TO MY VIN.
