While our son was driving his 2004 accord the transmission, without warning or any indication, went out and he lost power while going approximately 40mph. it is apparent with extensive research that i have done that transmissions in these vehicles have been a known problem and honda corporate is unwilling to do anything to investigate what caused the issue. the vehicle has had regular maintenance done and all the paperwork for anything major being done. i do not understand how if you maintain a vehicle that something like this can occur without warning or no indications that is was about to go out.
Hello, i was wondering if anyone could help me with this. i own a 2004 honda accord which has less than 84k miles. it recently very suddenly had an issue with the transmission while on the highway. now, a mechanic has determined it must be replaced. i think i found an applicable recall, recall nhtsa id number: 04v176000 honda/automatic transmission. i looked up the vin number in your lookup tool, but it did not show up. however, i think this is because the car and/or recall is over 15 years old. i believe i have found documents on your site that show that the vin falls within the possibly effected vehicles. in this document: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2004/rcdnn-04v176-4295.pdf - there is a section that describes my vehicle - honda accord 4d v6, certain 2004 model year - 1hgcm665*4a[xxx] ' 1hgcm668*4a[xxx]. my vehicle has vin number 1hgcm66554a[xxx]. i believe i fall within this window. would anyone be able to verify this for me? when i purchased the car, used, directly from the dealership (huntington honda, about 4 years ...

I was driving down a city road and the vehicle started to accelerate on its own and it did not want to shift gear. i was able to apply brakes but the car continued to accelerate to very high rpms. i had no choice but to turn the shut off the car midway and pull-over. while stationary and car shut off on side of the road i tried to turn it back it and it automatically jumped to high rpm and was never able to change gears from park to drive or anything because the car would take off. after 45 minutes of letting the car figure itself out, it stopped revving too high rpm and was able to go back home. the issue has stopped but now when i start the car up and switch from park to drive the car has a delayed engagement. also, now my steering wheel locks up ever once in a while and when making turns randomly. i have checked power steering and no leaks or any sign on a repair that needs to be completed.
