Have been having transmission problems and am seeing a trend to others having similar problems. The dealer quoted $8000 new or $3327 for used. I don't think we should be having transmission problems on a car that is 3 years old. Anyone else having problems?

Experienced extremely hard shifting at 40 mph. The engine would rev, die down, and then suddenly jerk into gear.

The vehicle had a problem with the transmission. Honda issued a recall which only affected Honda Accord with a V6 engine, 2000 to 2001, and the consumer stated his vehicle also experienced the same problems from the recall but Honda will not extend the warranty on the Honda 1999 Accord. It cost $4000 for a recondition transmission, the consumer requested that Honda reimburse him for the defective vehicle.

I have a 1999 Honda Accord exv6 the transmission started slipping 3 months ago. I called my dealer at that time because I had received a letter Nov 2001 from Honda stating that there was a warrany extension for egr system clogging. The service advisor stated that this would not help my case. Now at 70000 I need a new transmission.I bought this car after owning a Toyota for 12 years w/ no problems. To say the least I am disgusted.

1999 Honda Accord ex V-6 transmission failure. I had been noticing acceleration problems. I thought the problem was with fuel injection. I was coming back from a weekend trip and the check engine light came. I took the car to the dealer the next day for the 75,000 mile service. They said it was the transmission. The next day it failed the transmission test. Dealer said it would have to be replaced. I do not drive long distances and I do not feel safe in the car.

Transmission slips and lurches. Requested dealer service and adjustment. Fluids replaced, but no service performed. Service manager evasive and mis-leading. Made appointment for adjustment, fluid and filter change, dealer did just one. Fluid was not burnt or discolored. Problem persists. Warranty extension should be ordered expanded to include 1999 model.

Transmission failed in my Honda Accord 99. With research I found alot of consumers that had the transmissions fail in their Accord 99/2000/2001's. the 200+ transmission were under recall. I directly asked Honda if the part (auto transmission) was the same in the 99 Accord as the 2000 / 2001 which is under recall. Though several Honda dealerships I found out that the part (auto transmission) is exactly the same in a 99, 2000 or 2001 Honda Accord. The Honda warranty team would not admit (again I directly asked) that the part was the same. Thus, I am left with Honda knowing that 99 Accord's have known defective automatic transmissions that fail at road speed (erratic shifting). My transmission failed on an interstate at 60 mph road speed by shifting from drive to reverse. I almost got hit by an 18 wheeler that had to go off road to avoid my car. I guess when the fatalities grow big enough to warrant a class action suit Honda will be forced to recall.

Honda Accord 99', transmission failure at 60,000 miles. Other years (98) have had warranty extended due to design failure, but not the 99. 99 should be included!
