THE TRANSMISSION OF MY 2004 HONDA ACCORD V6 SLIPS BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEARS. THIS HAPPEN WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE ONTO AN INTERSTATE. TOWED INTO REPAIR SHOP, BUT NO PROBLEM FOUND. PROBLEM RECURRED NEXT SEVERAL DAYS, BUT NOT AS SEVERELY. JUST HAD 105000 MILE CHECK UP WITH NO ISSUES, AND NOW THIS EXPENSE! I SEE THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS AND CLASS ACTION SUITS FOR THIS TRANSMISSION. WHAT IS MY RELIEF? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH IN RAINY WEATHER CONDITIONS AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS BEGAN TO OPERATE INTERMITTENTLY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. ON A SEPARATE OCCASION THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS BECAME INOPERATIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THEY STATED THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE DEFECT.

DRIVING ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY THE CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING.THE CAR THEN WITH DIFFICULTY HAD TO BE PULLED TO THE BREAKDOWN LANE WITH THE MOMENTUM OF THE CAR. ENGINE WAS RUNNING BUT COULD NOT ACCELERATE THE CAR. SUBSEQUENT DIAGNOSIS SUGGESTED THAT THERE WAS A FAILURE OF THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. *TR

SMOKE VISIBLE COMING FROM RIGHT SIDE OF ENGINE COMPARTMENT. INSPECTION FOUND POWER STEERING FLUID LEAKING FROM PRESSURE HOSE ONTO EXHAUST. *TR

TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTED WITHOUT WARNING INTO LOWEST GEAR CAUSING THE CAR TO JERK AND DECELERATE VERY RAPIDLY, WHICH RESULTED IN LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. AFTER COMING TO A STOP TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT ENGAGE, LEAVING THE CAR DISABLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY.

@120,000 THE TRANSMISSION IN OUR 2004 HONDA ACCORD WENT OUT WITH NO WARNING AT ALL.IF THE TRAFFIC WAS NOT LIGHT AT THE TIME SOMEONE COULD HAVE BEEN HURT. HONDA DID NOT TELL US OF A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. WE REPLACED THE TRANS. AND 50,000 MILES LATER THE 2ND TRANS. WENT OUT. (SAME PROBLEM). HONDA KNOWS THEY HAVE A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM,BUT WANT STEP UP AND MAKE IT RIGHT. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2004 HONDA ACCORD IN OCTOBER OF 2008, THE CAR WAS RUNNING AND FUNCTIONING WELL UNTIL THE YEAR 2010 WHERE I STARTED TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE RADIO NOT WORKING, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NOW IN 2011 HAD TO REPLACE THE SOP ECM (PER HONDA DEALER THE MEMORY CARD OF THE CAR), I HAVE SPENT MORE THAN $6,000 ON THIS CAR BECAUSE I HAD SO MANY MAJOR A MINOR PROBLEMS WITH IT. AND EVEN THOUGH I HAVE FOLLOWED THE SCHEDULE MAINTENANCE VISITS TO THE DEALER THIS CAR STILL REFLECTING PROBLEMS. I HAVE GOTTEN EVERYTHING FIXED TILL THIS MOMENT AND IM AFRAID THE CAR WILL STILL GIVE ME PROBLEMS IN THE FUTURE. *TR
