After reading the numerous beefs about this same problem, it surprised me Honda has not offered some sort of remedy. I called the dealer and they said with no hesitation $3200 to replace the transmission. Are you kidding me? This is my second Honda and it has definitely been a LEMON! My car started with the whining, then when changing gears it would take a second or two longer to switch gears, then ultimately it stopped moving while I was driving. Honda once was a name you could trust now it's just like its counterparts junk.

I purchased my honda to replace another that was totalled in January. I bought the car used from a nissan dealership. According to the carfax there was no mention with any recalls or repairs to the transmission. Part of the purchase agreement was for Surf City Nissan to check the timing belt considering the mileage on the car.

What I thought may have been the timing issue has now turned into a transmission problem according to the Honda dealer I had check it last time. Last week 2 times I had to have the car towed in to the dealer because it would not shift or move any longer.

Luckily I was not on the freeway or in a high traffic zone. The honda dealer brought up the issue about the recall and said it appeared that the recall was done on the vehicle.

Not sure just what is going on with this car but plan on calling everyone that will take my calls tomorrow morning and see just what the next step is.

According to the dealer a new transmission for just parts start at 2500.00. I am very disappointed my last Honda ran very well and I would still be driving if I had not been rear ended and totalled.

IF ANYONE HAS ANY INFORMATION ABOUT THE RECALL OR THE CLASS ACTION SUITE I HAVE READ ABOUT PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!!

Add me to the long list of folks plagued by this horrid Honda experience. Like everyone else, I was lured into the Honda camp based on storied history of quality and reliability. I have two Honda autos in the driveway and even bought a Honda mower! This car has seriously disappointed forever stained my image of Honda.

Was driving home from a party when I notice that the car jumped a little when I pressed the accelerator. I thought nothing of it as it was brief and we were nearly home. We had to leave the house again for a show when the car began to jerk while pressing the accelerator. I would barely put my foot on the pedal, the engine would race past 5K RPMs and we'd barely be moving at 15mph. Limped to a stop light only to have the engine completely stop moving the car (as if we were stuck in Neutral). Tried to get out of traffic. Turned off the car to push it and realized that the car would move again upon restarting, but only for a few hundred feet and problem would immediately return -- jerking, slipping, racing engine, and ultimately no propulsion. Quickly turned around and took backroads to my house turning the car off at every intersection.

We're collecting quotes now on the repairs. Laughably, several of the "good" transmission shops are VERY familiar with the 03/04 Honda Accord transmission problems with one offering to alter the vehicle and add an in-line filter to avoid the future problems. Quotes have ranged between $2000 and $5000, depending on the severity upon seeing the car in person. I'm hoping to appeal to Honda for some "goodwill" assistance or this will forever be our last Honda product. Everyone we know will hear the story, but Honda can make the story end well for them.

Seriously, why hasn't anyone taken legal action? This is an obvious problem.

My transmission whines, slips, and its killing me. I called honda and told them what the problem was. A good friend of who is a mechanic, diagnosed the problem for me, and told me that my car needed a new transmission. I told the woman who answered the phone that i know the codes for the problem, then she took my information down and told me that I can come in for a diagnosis. I told her I refuse to pay for a diagnosis and if there is any way I can get some type of compensation or help. She told me my car was too old and has too many miles. I am done with Honda, this is the first car in my family to have transmission problems. I got it maintained from the certified dealer since I first got it in 2007. What to do.

Pretty much same as the other reports here. Yesterday, a very high pitched whine when off the accelerator. Today, 1st slipped between 1 and 2, then confused which gear, then would not engage at all unless 10-15 mph. Finally found it worked better in D3 (which if reports are correct, locks the torque converter), but still hard to get going from stopped and slipping over 35mph. At least, I made it home. Trans fluid at correct level, looks red and doesn't smell at all. What a bummer. I was looking forward to another 100,000k. Not ready for a 5k repair. Maybe I'll part it out.

I bought this car used (with 82,000 miles) last month as a replacement to the '99 Accord my ex totaled the 2 months before. I've only had the car for a little over a month and now the transmission is going out! I have no warranty, and bought it because I never had a single problem with my previous Accord which died at 220,000 miles! And would still be going had my ex not killed her! Now am am going to get screwed for $3 grand to replace the transmission. I really wish I had known about this site before now. Never again will I buy a car without coming here first. I really think Honda should bear some responsibility since this model year seems rampant with this problem.

It was a beautiful Wednesday morning. I dropped my son off at camp and thought this was going to be a great day- until I sat in traffic. I was in a line with other people waiting in construction when I decided to try a detour. I attempted to accelerate and the car decided to stay behind. Seriously, the car would not go above 5 miles an hour and the engine was just reving. I pulled over and called my office. They towed the car to the shop and that is where it has been for 3 days while they try to figure out what is wrong. I am beyond annoyed and without a vehicle. I am sure this will be expensive and no ones fault (meaning Honda will not take responsibility). Prior to this I loved my car and now I am afraid to drive it! Beautiful day not so beautiful anymore.
