TRANSMISSION FAILURE - 1999 ACCORD EX IN MINT CONDITION, PERFECT MAINTENANCE RECORDS AND THE TRANSMISSION BEGINS TO FAIL ,OUT OF THE BLUE, AT 71,000 MILES. THE CAR SHIFTS AND LURCHES IN 1ST, 2ND AND THIRD GEAR. ALSO, NOTICABLE LOSS OF OVERALL POWER OR TORQUE IN THE CARS PERFORMANCE. THIS IS MY THIRD ACCORD AND FIRST AUTOMATIC. HONDA WILL ONLY PAY FOR PART OF THE REPAIR. I HOPE BY WRITING THIS I HELP OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I AM BEING FORCED TO NEGOTIATE THE REPAIR COST WITH THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP. I AM ASKING FREE PARTS, FREE LABOR AND FREE RENTAL CAR. THEY CAME BACK WITH A REDUCED COST OF $1200 DOLLARS AND NO MENTION OF THE RENTAL CAR. I AM REALLY DISAPPOINTED IN HONDA, I AM A LOYAL CUSTOMER AND PROMOTER OF THE BRAND NAME. I EXPECT RESTUTION IF THEY FINALLY RECALL THIS POSITION. *AK

THE PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT OPEN INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID ITS A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR HONDA CARS TO DO THIS.*AK

AUTO TRANSMISSION STARTED SHIFTING HARD WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR AND NOW JERKS ABRUPTLY BETWEEN FIRST & SECOND GEAR. REDDELL HONDA (MURFREESBORO, TN) HAS EXAMINED THE CAR AND RECOMMENDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. THE SERVICE ADVISOR ALSO DID NOT RECOMMEND TRAVELING DUE TO THE RISK OF BEING STRANDED. ACCURATE AUTOMOTIVE'S (LAVERGNE, TN) GARY GRAY, SERVICE ADVISOR, STATED THAT HE HAS SEEN THIS PROBLEM ALOT WITH THIS CAR. I HAVE AN ACQUAINTANCE WITH THE SAME CAR (1998), WHO REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION YEAR AGO, ONLY TO HAVE THE BEGINNINGS OF THE PROBLEM AGAIN. *NM

1999 HONDA ACCORD TRANSMISSION FAILURE THE TRANSMISSION IS HESITATING AT SHIFT POINTS AND SHIFTS HARSHLY WHEN FINALLY SHIFTS. I BROUGHT MY CAR INTO MY LOCAL DEALER WHO DETERMINED THE TRANSMISSION IS IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT AT A COST OF $4280.00. I HAVE SINCE CONTACTED HONDA'S CUSTOMER SERVICE. THEY HAVE AGREED TO COVER THE COST OF THE TRANSMISSION BUT EXPECT ME TO COVER THE COST OF LABOR, TOTALING $863.00. IN MY RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THAT HONDA MOTOR CORP.HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTIES ON FIVE MODELS OF VEHICLES BUILT FROM 2000 THRU 2002 BUT NOT 1999 YEAR. *NM
