Complete failure of automatic transmission in 1999 Honda Accord ex 3.0 coupe with only 70,000 miles.

- Tempe, AZ, USA

99 Accord ex V6. Driving on expressway at about 40 mph and accelerating. Transmission jolted the entire car shifting from 2nd to 3rd gear, engine light came on and from that point on transmission was extremely sluggish and jolting during down shift or upshift. Took into dealer was informed it needed new transmission for $6500. This car has 67000 miles on it. Found several hundred complaints on the internet regarding automatic transmission failures exactly like mine in V6 Accord exactly like mine. Honda extended warranty on 2000 and 2001 V6's to 7 yr/100K, but not 1998 or 1999. My car happens to be a 1999. When a class action suit is initiated, count me in. I will file formal complaint with american Honda.

While driving vehicle lurched forward, and stalled three times. Engine check warning indicator light illuminated. Vehicle was taken to the dealer three times. Starter was replaced, and the dealer performed a valve job. Also, dealer recommended replacing the automatic transmission with a rebuilt transmission.

Transmission shifts out of gear intermittiently.

The transmission in my 1999 Honda Accord ex V-6 failed on February 26, 2004. The car has 66,800 miles on it. It does not make sense to me why there has not been an extended warranty implemented on this model year as there has been on the 2000-2001 Accord and the '99-'01 Odyssey. After speaking with the shop foreman at my Honda dealer and him revealing to me that they perform approximately 3-5 transmission replacements each week on the Honda Accord('98-'01), I thought it highly suspect that nothing has been done to rectify the prolem to other years in this model.

Transmission slips horribly; gears are all screwed up; torque convert clutch circuit malfunction ; almost got hit by an 18 wheeler when crossing an intersection; was told that it is a very common problem in 1999 V6 Accord. Engine error code: P0740

Every time I would accelerate, my car would stall then the car would give a strong jerk.I took the car to Honda and they told me it was ok, and they could not diagnose any problems. There is a recall for later models but not for 1999 year models. After repeated attempts at the dealership, they offered to replace transmission for a ridiculous charge of ~$ 5,000 since my warranty period had passed.why does Honda issue a recall on the 2000+ models and not any other ones. This defective component poses a serious threat for my children and me.

I just purchased a 1999 Honda Accord exv6 coupe from the original owner who kept excellent records on the scheduled maintaince according to the factory manual. The complaint I have is that the automatic transmission is failing with only 60,000 miles on the car. I have read where the Honda recalled 16000 Accord with transmission problems and replaced them on 2000 and 2001 Accord. Why are they allowed to skip the 1999 problems? something must be done about this thank you for your time. Larry weinstein.

The automatic transmission does not shift correctly. The problem I am having is that the engine speeds up and then the transmission shift into gear. The causes the tires to break loose causing the car to loose traction and when the tires regain their grip on the road the car darts out into traffic.

The transmission is slipping on a 1999 Honda Accord 2 door. There is severe jerky motion between shifts. Also while slowing down and trying to accelerate again the car lunges forward violently with what seems to be double gear shift. My family owns the 4 door version of the car also, which does not have such symptoms. Out of 7 people I know who also owns the Accord, 3 people have such problems. The problem persists to date. Honda claims that since it does not occur with "many" of production cars, it will not issue a recall! this is outrageous!

1999 Honda Accord V6, transmission failure. 2000 through 2002 had warranties extended.

I have a 1999 Honda Accord V6 ex sedan. It currently has approximately 56,000 miles on it, and much to my surprise the vehicle has required a new transmission @ 55,000. Apparently this is a common problem with this vehicle and is mentioned on many internet forums. The cost of replacing this tranmission is rather substantial. The 00-01 models have an extended warranty from Honda on the transmission for 7 years and 100,000 miles, but for some reason the 1998-1999 models were left out even though they were the same generation vehicles. I almost got rear ended a few times due to transmission slippage. I hope some action can be taken to have the warranty extended to include the 1998 to 1999 Honda also.

While driving at 30 mph automatic transmission failed. Consumer stated that many 1999 Honda Accord had transmission failures at 60000 miles.

The automatic transmission stalls for 2 or 3 seconds and there is a lost of power before the car begins to move forward. Near accident when trying to merge on the interstate. Dealership advised that this is a common problem on Honda Accord V6 coupes with automatic transmissions. There is a recall for later models but not for 1999 year models. Dealership offered to replace transmission with a rebuilt for $ 3,000. The car randomly accelerates and decelerates in stop and go traffic. No problems when the car crosses 35 mph on the interstate.

Automatic transmission failure at 53K!. transmission suddenly jerked car forward at stop light forcing it into intersection. Dealership diagnosed as a transmission failure and that it needs to be replaced. No extended warrant from Honda for '99 models. Unless Honda takes care of its defective parts it will be my last Honda. Very dangerous situation!

1999 Honda Accord, transmission failed after only 59,000 miles! engine light came on only 5 miles before I took it to authorized Honda dealer who deemed it unsafe to drive! I do not have all the service records but I know I did take it for every single service suggested in the manual. Not only does Honda know about this problem (it extended the warranty on 2000 and 2001 models, which are identical to the 1999) but just in my small town alone I personally know of 2 other people who had the same problem!after much pressing, Honda agreed to pay for less than a third of the $5000 cost of new transmission big deal! also they refused to pay for my rental (now going on 2 weeks)....it took them over w eek to respond to my complaint leaving me either driving an unsafe (in their words) car or renting 1!

While driving 20 mph, the automatic transmission did not shift properly. The consumer was informed that the new transmissions have updated carrier bearings. The original transmission had defective carrier bearings which spread metal debris throughout the transmission and caused the failure. The consumer sent a petition letter but did no received any notification from ODI whether it was received or what possible action would be taken.

Power train: Automatic transmission - Accord 1999 ex-V6 transmission shifts hard and sometimes it even slips (pauses when shifting gear). Suspect the problem to be similar to model year 2000 and 2001, but no recall issued for 1999.

- Springboro, OH, USA

1999 Honda Accord needed transmission replaced at 40,000 and now is having problems again at 46,000 miles. A replacement is needed. Car is slow to move in 1st and does not shift properly. Hard to get moving with traffic and is dangerous when fast acceleration is needed in traffic.
