Reoccuring transmission problems. glad i bought the 100k warranty...changed once at 60k due to bearing failure...now at 75k the center between the back seats get very, very hot and starting to feel slipping...again. looks like another trip to the dealer for another transmission. i don't feel safe...especially when i commute 75 miles a day with a 13 month old baby.

Car pauses then surges forward wile accelerating at lower speeds due to defective transmission, problem is constant - happens everytime.*ak

I purchased my 1999 honda accord ex-vl 3.0l v6... may 1999. there has been a slight jerk when the transmission shifted gears from day one. honda says this is normal. well several months ago it started to get worse and the transmission started leaking fluid at the left cv boot. i took it into the honda dealer and i was told that there is a roller bearing that is wearing out prematurely causing a slight vibration that causes the seal to leak. they said i needed a new transmission and it would cost $5,500 ++ to replace because it was no longer under warranty. (3 years or 30k miles) i have owned a honda for 17 years. i have a 1986 with over 250,000 miles and still going strong. i purchased this 1999 based on the hondas past history of quality. this may be the end of honda ownership for me if they don't replace this defective transmission.i have searched the internet and was overwhelmed at so many 1999 honda accords that have the same problem. i think honda should replace all of their defective transmission and save there good name. honda should extend the 1999 honda accord warranty to 7 years or100k to cover there defective product!hey did extended the 2000-2001... but not the 1999 ??? why... it's the very same transmission! *ak

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. *nlm

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. *nlm

Today i have 88000 miles on my 1999 honda accord v6 coupe. i am currently on my third transmission. the first time, my car was driving very rough at around 23000 mi. every time i would accelerate, when my car shifted from first to second gear, the car would give a strong jerk, one that was strong enough to shake the coins in the coin holder. i took the car to honda and they told me it was ok, and they could not diagnose any problems. around 30000 miles, my transmission would not shift out of second gear. i took it back to honda and they replaced it with out any problem. later, around 60000 miles, my transmission lost all forward driving gears. keep in mind this is the second transmission. i had it towed to a gas station, and called honda, only to hear, the car is out of warranty. the decision was made to get the work done at the gas station. they acquired a new transmission from honda to be placed into my car. tonight, that transmission is now without first and third gears. the car wont shift either. the car needs to be placed in second gear, and shifted to third manually for it to function. if it is started in 1,d3,or d4 it will start in second gear and stay in it. i have 90000 mi on my car today. this seems to occur every 30000 mi or so.*jb

Transmission will not shift properly into gear, it was slow in shifting. when ever this happens, engine would rev up. *jb

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.

The transmission failed, which caused the vehicle not to accelerate.*jb

Consumer states transmission is defective. ph

The transmisson shifts hard. sometimes it even slips. it started doing it few months ago. right know my car has about 80000 miles on it. honda has a recall on 2000 but since it is a 1999 they are making a excuss. my older 91 accord was perfect till 250,000 miles . i guess with this kinda quality this will be my last honda ever.

Transmission making grinding noise and having trouble with gears and engine rpm. honda dealer admits it's transmission problem. milage is only 37500 miles on.very serious problem and public safety. should recall or extend warranty.

Noticed lurching and trasnmission slipping. the car was having difficulty changing gears. next day i had car checked out was advised that transmission fluid was black( burnt) and the motor mount was also weak. the following day i took the car to ed voyles honda for my 45,000 mile/3 yr service. i was then advised by service advisor, jim vartiak, that large metal pieces came out when the trasnmission fluid was being drianed and was a sign of deterioration of the trasnmission. after my service on 10-28-02 i went to work. on my commute back, i heard a loud noise and then the check engine light came on while i was on the expressway. the vehicle was not accelerating well, the gears were not shifting. when i got to my destination i noticed that i was parked . when i put the car in reverse the engine had to be reved up to make the slightest move. it took several minutes to move three feet. the next morning, 10-30-02, the car was driving about 40 mph then sudddenly dropped to 10 mph during a busy hour approx. 7:30 am. at times the honda accord would not even move at all and then it would suddenly jot out. i made it home, but the car is completely immoble the transmission is gone. the worst part is there was no help offered for a resolution. i have made calls and also written to america honda motor co., inc, but i have not yet recieved any response from my. correspondence. dt

Transmissions slips and shifts roughly and inconsistently. warranty has been extended but only for '00 & '01 models. same faulty transmission standard with 1999 accords. it is only a matter of time before people start getting hit and do the hitting as shifting becomes unpredictable.

There is a clunking sound and vibration in steering, the wheel definitely is not turning at the same speed as the others. this is a known problem with honda transmission yet no service bulliten can be found on the accord.honda is well aware of this problem but is still asking owners to pay for the cost to replace transmission with rebuild.*ak

While driving, the automatic transmission does not shift properly. dealer has been notified. *ak the vehicle sometimes shifts gears on its own without the changing of speeds. other times while accelerating into traffic (at a stop light or merging) the vehicle will slip into neutral and will redline but not shift into gear. *scc
