HONDA RECALLED TRANSMISSION'S ON 2004, I TOOK MY ACCORD 2003 AND THEY JUST MAKE UP MY TRANSMISSION WITH OIL, BUT KNOWINGLY THAT THIS TRANSMISSION WILL FAIL, SO I REALLY THINK THAT IN REALITY THERE WAS NOT FIX.... NOW I HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT WAS ALREADY SET TO FAILURE.... *TR

USES TONS OF OIL, HAS DONE SO SINCE NEW. DISAPPOINTED IN MOTOR AND HONDA'S LACK OF RESPONSE FOR THIS ISSUE!!

HONDA HAD A RECALL ON THE POWER STEERING HOSE BUT BY THE TIME THEY CONTACTED ME TO GO IN MY POWER STEERING PUMP STARTED MAKING SEVERE NOISE. NOW NO ONE WILL COVER IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 TO 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE VIOLENTLY DOWN SHIFTED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER RESTARTING, THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO GO OVER 25 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. AFTER DIAGNOSIS, THEY ADVISED HIM THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 150,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 154,000. *TR UPDAATED 6/4/13 *CN THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE VIOLENTLY DOWNSHIFTED THE HIGH GEAR TO LOWEST. THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO DECELERATE FROM 65-70 MPH TO 20-25MPH, MAKING THE VEHICLE TO BUCK AND SWERVE FROM LEFT AND RIGHT. UPDATED 06/14/2013 *JS

THE RADIO COMES ON WITHOUT A KEY AND ABRUPTLY TURNS OFF WHEN DRIVING. THE CAR APPEARS ON WHEN NO ONE IS IN THE VEHICLE AND I AM WORRIED THAT THIS MAY PROMPT SOMEONE TO STEAL THE CAR. IT ALSO DRAINS THE BATTERY. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE INTERNET AND CALLED HONDA. HONDA SWEARS THAT NO ONE ELSE HAS SUBMITTED THIS ISSUE. MY REF NUMBER FOR MY COMPLAINT IS N012013-02-2600454. IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE SENSE THAT ALL THESE PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE, BUT THEY DON'T ISSUE A RECALL. YOU CAN DO A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH AND FIND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS AND PEOPLE SAYING THAT THEY HAVE CONTACTED HONDA. *TR

THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 12V222000 (STEERING) SIX MONTHS AGO HOWEVER, THE DEALER HAD NOT YET BEEN ABLE TO MAKE THE RECALL REPAIRS TO THE VEHICLE.

NHTSA NEEDS TO HAVE HONDA ISSUE A RECALL ON ALL 2003 HONDA ACCORD TRANSMISSIONS BASED ON THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION IN GEARS 1-4. WHEN DRIVING MY ACCORD YOU CAN FEEL IT AT 35MPH WHERE THE GEARS 1-4 SLIPS OR RACES. MY CAR HAS 133K MILES AND IS IN MINT CONDITION AND NOW I HAVE TO PUT IN A NEW TRANSMISSION AT THE COST OF $3,700.00 FOR A REBUILT? NHTSA, ALL REPORTS HAS SHOWN THAT WHEN THIS PROBLEM EXIST ITS CAN FREEZE THE TRANSMISSION AND CAUSE SEVERE HARM TO THE DRIVER, PASSENGERS AND INNOCENT PEOPLE AROUND. MY CAR FROZEN ON TAKING OFF FROM A LIGHT AND THERE WAS ALMOST A CAR PILEUP AND ADDITIONAL INSURES. BEFORE THIS HAPPENS TO OTHER OUT THERE PLEASE ISSUE HONDA A RECALL OF THESE 2003 HONDA ACCORD. *TR
