Problems with 1999 Honda Accord POWER TRAIN

Transmission failed at 40,000 miles, however it was under warranty so they fixed it at a cost of roughly $6000. now at 82,000 miles, the fluid is leaking and they are advising me to pay for a replacement for about $4000. honda is using there good name to sell a defective product and the 98-99 v6 accords need to be recalled along with the 2000-2001. *ak

While driving at any speed check engine light appeared on the dashboard. then , vehicle would start jerking. consumer took the vehicle to the dealer for inspection, and mechanic determined that transmission failed. *ak

Transmission out '1999 accord. *ak

I was driving on the freeway when all of a sudden my car felt as if it were in neutral. the transmission went out on the freeway. the car was at about 95k miles, but this seemed very early for a transmission to go out. i got the transmission rebuilt, which cost me about $1600. filing this complaint after a few years, but i recently heard the 1998 honda accords are having a recall. mine is a 1999 honda accord. *tr

When backing out of my driveway, which is slightly inclined, the transmission in my 1999 accord v6 will slip as if the gears are not meshing and it violently pops. it also requires me to press hard on the accelerator for the car to even back out of the driveway. the transmission also does not shift smoothly when driving and sometimes downshifts erratically, such as after i've already stopped. i bought this car used with 72,000 miles after taking it to the nearest honda dealership for a thorough checkout prior to the purchase. i was not told of a transmission problem with this model by the dealer, and everything checked out ok except they said the transmission fluid needed to be changed, which i did. after approximately 1 week, the transmission slipped for the first time with me. i carried it to the dealer again and was told this was "normal" for a honda. well, it's not normal for my other two honda accords (91 and 92). it now slips every day that i drive it and i believe it will completely fail pretty soon. i suspect the previous owner probably had the transmission fixed and then sold it to me. i also have a 2002 odyssey, which ironically, is in the shop today for a recall to check the 2nd gear in the tranmission for over-heating and to install a "oil jet" whatever the hell that is. i am very angry at honda and will probably never buy another honda of any kind if a recall is not issued on these obviously cheaply designed and dangerous transmissions. why can't you put some pressure on honda to include the 1999 model accord with the 2000+ models for the trans recall? it's obvious that there is a significant problem.*ak

The vehicles automatic transmission would slip between first and second gear. *nm the interior lights were intermittent, the alternator was found faulty and made noises, and there was moaning coming from the engine area at times. the consumer requested reimbursement. *sc *jb

1999 honda accord lx, car has 100,000 miles and the transmission is gone. i was advised by the dealer that it will cost $5500 to replace. this is unheard of with a honda. after doing research on the internet i found many complaints about honda's transmission and it isn't just the accord, it is several other models. what is going to be done about this? *la

The transmission in my accord went out and was unsafe to drive. the car would suddenly shift into neutral while driving or stopped. when stopped at a stop light, the car would suddenly accelerate in gearing and car would jump forward while even on the brake. if the car was placed into reverse, if on a slight hill, the car would roll forwards or backwards before catching gears and acting the proper way. this has happened repeatedly over the course of a few weeks. failed transmission in 2 differnent late 1990s honda cars. the first being a 1998 honda civic hx coupe with vortech engine and the second being a 1999 honda accord 4dr ex v6 (vortech) engine. tranmission failure between 80k and 110k miles. found other people with similar problems with their hondas. *ak

Failed transmission. *tr

Automatic transmission catastrophic failure retaining pin broke and allowed one of gears on spider assembly to move. this caused a catastrophic failure of the transmission- damaging gears and the core. *ak

Transmission on my 1999 honda accord lx has been slipping for quite some times. i am the second owner, having bought the car from the company i worked for. perfectly maintained, with mainly highway miles. my transmission is now out completely; when it went out, my 4 year old son and i had to drive back home, in reverse. now i am stranded at my home in the country, 20 miles from town. i am a single father and i now have to rely on my parents to take me places as i currently cannot afford to pay $4-$5k to replace my transmission. i don't understand why the recall was only done to the year 2000 vehicles when it is very obvious that the problem was prevelant in the 1999 models as well. *ak

As the transmission locked while driving at 60 mph, my car was turned to idel and almost causing an accident. i took my 99 accord v6 to the dealership , they said that a new transmission to be replaced, which would cost $5200 and paying out my pocket . my major concern was safety for those driving this type of car. *ak

Transmission slippage. dealer replaced under warranty with remanufactured transmission. *mr

My honda accord 1999 transmission was failed at 74000 miles, regardless of showroon service all the time and one hand maintenance. *ak

Vehicle hesitated and jerked. consumer made contact with the dealer, and was told that transmission was not covered under warranty.*ak

My transmission locked at 65 mph almost causing an accident. i took my 99 accord to the dealership , they said it needs a new transmission that would cost $2500, which now has to pay out my pocket . the honda has only 93k. my mother in laws taurus has 140000, and is still running fine. it's a 1997. how does a 1997 taurus outlast a 1999 accord? if this is the case that i have to now worry about when i buy a honda, then i mind as well invest in a toyota camry in the future.*ak

I have noticed a few wet spots on my floor of my garage so i crawled under car to look. i noticed fluid coming out from the transmission on the driver's side where the axle goes throught the axle seal into the transmission. i took the car to exclusive honda /acura in omaha ne. they checked the car over and found excessive play in the driver's side output shaft (axel). they advised me i would need a new transmission. the car is a 1999 accord that has been maintained according to manual and only has 58000 miles. i have also noticed and erratic shift that is very unsafe while driving.*ak

1999 honda accord ex v6 auto transmission failure. began upon return from 100k service by honda dealership. erratic shifting/slipping occurs. upon further inspection, fluid leaks at various points of the under chassis. my accord has only been serviced by a honda service dept. was informed by tech that a "faulty" carrier bearing was noted. a "refurb" tranny install was reccommended ($3000) instead of replacing the faulty bearing. *jb

While driving 50 mph the vehicle slowed down. consumer later learned that the transmission failed. *ak

Automatic transmission is failing at a very low mileage, when the engine is hot, the transmission starts slipping, and the car loses control. *ak

Transmission failure on 1999 honda accord v6 with only 56000 miles. *ak

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 accords 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. *jb

Complete failure of automatic transmission in 1999 honda accord ex 3.0 coupe with only 70,000 miles. *ak

While driving, the vehicle did not change gears or gain speed. the dealership serviced the vehicle and noticed that the transmission needed to be replaced. *ak *sc

Internal torque converter problem; would not pass emissions; lock up not coming on in overdrive; requires replacement of cylinoids, torge, gasket seal, transmission fluid, and labor costs ($1241).*ak

Transmission slips. there are only 92,000 miles on the car. dealer advised that transmission needs to be replaced at a cost of $5200 for a new transmission. this is higly unusual for a car 5 years old with less than 100,000 miles especially given that honda provided an extended warrantee on the same accord in 2000-2001.*ak

transmission shifts out of gear intermittiently. *ak

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. *ak

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 accords. *ak engine error code: p0740

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 accords with transmission problems and replaced them on 2000 and 2001 accords. why are they allowed to skip the 1999 problems? something must be done about this thank you for your time. larry weinstein. *ak

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. *jb

While pulling out into a roadway at a hurried pace to avoid oncoming traffic, my '99 accord would not accelerate and the rpm's just increased. an oncoming vehicle noticed that i was not getting out of the way and slammed on his brakes. fortunately, before an impact occured, my honda violently slammed into gear and i got out of the way of the other vehicle, but the acceleration was so sudden i was not able to turn. the accord impacted the curb, causing tire and rim damage. the transmission is progressively getting worse and i am dismayed to find that honda knows the transmission is defective, yet will do nothing to help '99 owners. honda needs to recall all these transmissions, not just the 2000/01 because they are a threat to driver safety (as i have experienced). i have always liked honda's cars but may consider another vehicle if honda allows their bottom line to endanger customer safety. *la

1999 honda accord v6, transmission failure. 2000 through 2002 had warranties extended.

1999 honda accord ex v6 automatic transmission issue. vehicle purchased sept 2000 with approx 15k miles. vehicle began having problems with the transmission not engaging after throttle had been pressed at approx 42k miles. bad hesitation, and on an almost daily basis. press on the gas, the engine revs, but vehicle barely moves and when it does engage it is very harsh. dangerous trying to enter freeways, pass other vehicles or cross streets/intersections. the basic honda warranty of only 3/yr 36k miles had already lapsed. transmission fluid had been changed in aug 2002 with 31k miles. again changed(drain/fill) in june 2004 with 46k miles and again in sept 2006 with 61k miles. honda transmission fluid used. *jb

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! *jb

While driving 20 mph, the automatic transmission did not shift properly. *jb 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. *nm

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 $5000.00 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! *la

I first noticed a difference in my 99 accord coupe v6 transmission when it was cold out. the car jerked between 1st and 2nd gear. it ran fine once the car warmed up. when i called honda to ask about the issue, i was told older cars do that and it was nothing to worry about. about a month and a half later the transmission started jerking between 3rd and 4th when below 40 mph. my car then would not leave a stopped position until hitting at least 2500 rpm's then it kicked into gear. i took my car to my local honda dealership - they flushed the transmission fluid - charged me $85 and on a side note on the bill they stated "transmission needs replacement - internal damage". they did not talk to me about this nor did they offer to repair this at a charge. when i purchased my car i bought the 100,000 mile extended warranty, which i paid close to $1500 for. honda realized there was an issue and extended the 100,000 mile warranty automatically for the 2000-2002 models. i had approximately 108,000 miles on my car when i took it to honda for this issue. after dealing with honda customer care for over 3 weeks i got nothing but a run around from them. i was told to call the company that handles the extended warranty service, this company told me they were not sure why hcc referred me to them b/c it was hcc decision of how they wanted to handle my case. in the end honda did nothing for me. i took my car to a transmission shop; after they tore down the transmission they found extensive damage. i was told that the 2nd gear thruster barring had fallen into the pump which destroyed it, 2nd gear was completely destroyed, the electrical cylinder was damaged beyond repair, and the remaining 3 gear thruster bearings had also fallen out. in the end it cost me over $3000 ($2000 in parts alone) and almost 2 months to repair the damage to my transmission. *la

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. *la

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.

Accord 1999 ex-v6 transmission sometimes shifts hard and 4th gear slips and shudders, also unexpected harsh downshifts or erratic shifting. suspect the problem to be similar to model year 2000 and 2001, but no recall issued for 1999.

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. *jb

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.*ak

Intermittently, the transmission is slow to engage from reverse to drive. also the transmission will slip while up shifiting, causing the car to stall and then jerk into gear. when down shifiting, the car would stall when shifting from 3rd to 2nd gear. the dealer states that the transmission is defecvtive and needs to be replaced. honda has extended the warranties on the 2000/01 model years which have the same v6 automatic transmission, but not on the 99 hondas.

While at slow speed the transmisson paused and kicked forward on a 1999 honda accord ex v6 with only 78,000 plus miles. *la

My honda accord lx 4dr 1999 model has transmission problem. it does not go little upslope on revese gear. i found lot of complaint on the web about reverse gear sleeping going upslope.*ak
