ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON EVERY 500-600 MILES. SCHOMP HONDA IN DENVER SAID FLUSH TRANSMISSION. IF THAT DIDN'T WORK, THERE WAS A VALVE TO REPLACE IN THE TRANSMISSION. IF THAT DIDN'T WORK, TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT NEEDED AT $50,000. TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN FLUSHED, AND THE VALVE REPLACED (BY KOOL HONDA, MCCOOK, NE). THIS TIME THE LIGHT CAME ON ABOUT 1000 MILES. THIS STARTED BEFORE MILEAGE WAS 47,000 MILES. WE BOUGHT THE CAR USED, AND SUSPECT THE PROBLEM WAS APPARENT WHEN THE PRIOR OWNER TRADED IT IN. HONDA NEEDS TO RESPOND TO ALL THE OWNERS WITH TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS,BY FIXING/REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION AT NO COST TO OWNERS. *LA

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

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT DOWNSHIFT WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. THEN IT WOULD LUNGE FORWARD AND EVENTUALLY ENGAGE THE CORRECT GEAR AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPS.*AK

AFTER OWNING THE VEHICLE FOR TWO DAYS IT BROKE DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO REPLACED THE BATTERY AND THE ALTERNATOR. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, THE VEHICLE BROKE DOWN DUE TO AN ALTERNATOR BOLT BREAKING. IT WAS REPLACED. ON A THIRD OCCASION, THE SERPENTINE BELT FAILED. CURRENTLY, VEHICLE IS AT DEALERS SHOP AGAIN BECAUSE IT WILL NOT START.*AK *JB *NLM

CONSUMER STATED THAT WHILE HER SON WAS DRIVING A 1999 HONDA, ACCORD, HE ENCOUNTERED SOME PROBLEMS. WHEN MAKING A TURN, EITHER RIGHT OR LEFT, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF. BUT, IT WOULD START RIGHT UP IMMEDIATELY. THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS WHEN MAKING A TURN OUT OF TRAFFIC OR INTO TRAFFIC. ALSO, CONSUMER WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM, BUT SHE HAD NOT RECEIVED ANY NOTIFICATION. *AK

TRANSMISSION FAILURE ON 1999 HONDA ACCORD. HONDA WILL NOT EXTEND WARRANTY AS THEY HAVE ON 2000-2001 MODELS WITH SAME PROBLEM. SEE HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN 00-065 DATED 8/22/00. SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILS ON THE HIGHWAY. *LA

1999 HONDA ACCORD V-6 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 51,000 MILES. THIS APPEARS TO BE COMMON FOR THIS MODEL CAR. I BELIEVE HONDA SHOULD ORDER A RECALL FOR THIS TRANSMISSION OR OFFER TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY FROM THE CURRENT 36,000 MILES. *LA
