HAD TO DODGE THROUGH HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SLOWING DOWN TO 25 MPH BEFORE THE GEARS WOULD ENGAGE. AFTER EXITING THE HIGHWAY, THE SAME PROBLEM PERSISTED AT LOWER SPEEDS; COMPLETE GEAR SLIPPING. THE PROBLEM PERSISTED IN D OR D3. AFTER LETTING THE CAR SIT TURNED OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES, IT SEEMS TO NOW BE FUNCTIONING PROPERLY, BUT THERE IS NO TELLING WHEN IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN.

I THOUGHT I WAS ALONE ON THIS BUT I FOUND OUT THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. MY NEIGHBOR HAS...

DRIVING ON FREEWAY WITH NO WARNING THE CAR COMES TO A SUDDEN STOP AS IF THE BRAKES WERE BEING SLAMMED ON. I OWN A 2004 HONDA ACCORD V6 AUTOMATIC. AFTER THIS INCIDENT THE CAR DID NOT WANT TO DRIVE AS IF IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. I WAS SLOWLY ABLE TO GET ONTO SHOULDER. THIS CAUSED A HUGE TRAFFIC JAM. I WAS NEARLY REAR ENDED BY FULL SIZE TRUCK. AFTER I HAD STOPPED FOR APPROX. TEN MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR HOME WITH NO ISSUES. I DISCOVERED THAT HONDA ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS SAME EXACT PROBLEM. I'VE READ MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS SAME INCIDENT HAPPEN. ONE OF WHICH INVOLVED A CHILD GETTING INJURED. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE CAPITAL CITY HONDA DEALERSHIP IN OLYMPIA, WA.

I WAS IN 5PM TRAFFIC, WHICH WAS THICK. MY CAR WASN'T PICKING UP SPEED. I LOOKED DOWN AND THE RPMS WERE HIGH. I LET UP OFF THE GAS. THE CAR STARTED TO GO, AND THEN JERKED LIKE IT WAS STOPPING. THE CAR BEHIND ME ALMOST REAR ENDED ME. I WAS IN THE INTERSTATE ON RAMP WITH NO WHERE TO PULL OVER. I TRIED TO GIVE IT GAS, AND THE CAR WOULD NOT PICK UP SPEED FAST ENOUGH. I LET UP OFF THE GAS AGAIN AND IT WOULD GO AND THEN JERK TO ALMOST A STOP. IT WAS LIKE SOMEONE ELSE HAD CONTROL OF THE GAS PEDAL AND BREAK PEDAL. IT DID THIS FIVE OR SIX...

I WAS DRIVING OUR 2004 HONDA ACCORD EX V6. MY WIFE WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. I ENTERED THE FREEWAY ACCELERATING TO FREEWAY SPEEDS (60MPH) AND AROUND 55MPH THE CAR'S ENGINE REVVED TO 6000RPM. KNOWING SOMETHING WAS WRONG I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS. THE CAR BEGAN TO COAST AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT CAUGHT A LOWER GEAR AND VIOLENTLY STARTED TO ENGINE BRAKE. I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR. I'M CERTAIN THAT IF THE PAVEMENT WAS WET I WOULD HAVE. I AM AN EXPERIENCED DRIVER AND WAS ABLE TO KEEP US ON THE ROAD. IF MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THINGS MIGHT HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT. THE CAR HAS BEEN WELL TAKEN CARE OF AND HAS HAD ALL OF ITS SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTIONS (WITH RECORDS). THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO REPAIR SHOP AND WE WERE INFORMED THE CAR'S TRANSMISSION IS BAD. THE CAR HAS 121,000 MILES. THERE...

CAR HAD REGULAR MAINTENANCE ON 4/11/11. ON 4/23/11 WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MERGE ONTO THE FREEWAY, THE ACCELERATOR BOGGED OUT AND I LOST POWER. I WAS SCARED I WAS GOING TO GET HIT BY THE CAR IN THE OTHER LANE... THEN THE CAR SEEMED TO RUN FINE UNTIL I ATTEMPTED TO PASS A CAR GOING UP A STEEP HILL AND THE CAR LOST POWER AGAIN, THEN IT SEEMED TO DRIVE FINE UNTIL THE FOLLOWING MONDAY ON THE WAY TAKING THE KIDS TO SCHOOL IT JUST STARTED FAILING WHILE NORMALLY DRIVING. TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION, THAT TC CLUTCH STUCK OFF.

MY 2004 ACCORD EX FAILED YESTERDAY ON THE FREEWAY, DROPPING FROM 65 TO 20 MPH AND THEN ZERO AND GETTING ME ALMOST REAR-ENDED IN HEAVY MORNING TRAFFIC WHILE TRYING TO MOVE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I CALLED AAA AND THEY CONTACTED A TOWING COMPANY AND THE LOCAL POLICE DEPARTMENT. CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE GARAGE AND WE'VE JUST BEEN TOLD IT NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION ($3800). WE CALLED HONDA TO CHECK ON KNOWN ISSUES BUT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ASSURED US THAT HE WAS NOT AWARE OF ANY ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL. THERE WAS NO INDICATION ON THE DASH THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM AND THIS HAPPENED VERY SUDDENLY. I WAS VERY LUCKY THAT THIS FAILURE DID NOT LEAD TO A MAJOR ACCIDENT. PLEASE ADVISE ON. *TR

WITHOUT WARNING MY AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WILL SLIP OUT OF GEAR. DOESN'T SEEM TO BE RELATED TO SPEED OR LENGTH OF TIME DRIVEN. JUST RANDOM. IT COULD HAPPEN 20 TIMES A DAY OR NOT HAPPEN FOR WEEKS. I HAVE CONTACTED HONDA AND THEY SAID IT IS NOT A RECALL ISSUE, ALTHOUGH I HAVE FOUND LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF THE SAME COMPLAINT ONLINE. WAS TOLD THAT THEY MIGHT BE ABLE TO OFFER ME SOME ASSISTANCE ON REPAIR, BUT NOT 100% AND NOT A COMMON ISSUE. *TR

WHILE ACCELERATING IN 2ND GEAR, THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS CAUSING THE ENGINE TO REV, BUT THE CAR REMAINS IN A NEUTRAL STATE. FEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING AND THEN SHIFTED BACK INTO DRIVE. ONCE THE TRANSMISSION CATCHES, THE VEHICLE SHIFTS EXTREMELY HARD. THERE IS A LOUD WHINING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR WHILE ACCELERATING, THAT DIDN'T EXIST BEFORE. AFTER TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS FAULTY. THIS VEHICLE HAS ALREADY HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED BECAUSE OF A SAFETY RECALL WHICH PERTAINS TO THIS EXACT PROBLEM. HONDA REFUSES TO FIX THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE THEY STATE THE TRANSMISSION HAS ALREADY BEEN REPLACED. *TR

FOR 3 DAYS PRIOR, I NOTICED A SECOND OR TWO LAG TIME BETWEEN THE CAR GOING FROM REVERSE INTO DRIVE. I DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT. THEN ABOUT 10 MINUTES INTO DRIVING AT ABOUT 40 MPH THE TRANSMISSION DROPPED TO A LOWER GEAR AND THE CAR ABRUPTLY DROPPED TO ABOUT 10 MPH. FORTUNATELY, THERE WAS NO ONE BEHIND ME OR THEY WOULD HAVE SMASHED INTO MY CAR. I THEN TURNED AROUND AND WENT HOME WITH HAZARDS BLINKING. DURING THE ENTIRE TRIP BACK, THE TRANSMISSION CONSTANTLY SLIPPED GEARS AT ALMOST EVERY SPEED. *TR

OUR 2004 HONDA ACCORD SEDAN V6 - AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE. 195,000 MILES THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF THIS CORRESPONDENCE IS TO REGISTER A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT OCCURRED TO MY WIFE AND I ON MARCH 20 2011, AT 3:30 PM.

DECIDED NOT TO TRY HONDA AS OTHERS ONLINE TOLD OF THE EXCEEDINGLY HIGH CHARGES HONDA IMPOSES. FEEL IT WAS A SAFETY RISK THAT SHOULD NEVER HAD HAPPENED.
