2003 Honda Accord Power Train

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT 70 MPH AND WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE, THE TRANSMISSION SEEMED TO LOCK, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STOP ON THE FREEWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 133,000.

RANDOMLY CAR WILL DOWN SHIFT AND UP SHIFT. SOMETIME YES WHEN I LEFT OFF GAS. SOMETIMES WHEN IT HITS A CERTAIN RPM. THE RPM WILL SHOOT REALLY HIGH AND GO BACK TO NORMAL. ONLY OCCURS WHILE WARM.

NOVEMBER 30, 2016 THE TRANSMISSION STARTED JERKING AND SLIPPING. ON DECEMBER 1, I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A REPAIR FACILITY AND A REPAIR WAS DONE. THE NEXT DAY. DECEMBER 2 THE PROBLEM RECURRED AND THE DIAGNOSIS WAS THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE FAILURE OF THIS CLASS OF TRANSMISSIONS IS DOCUMENTED THROUGH RECALLS. MY TRANSMISSION AT THE TIME OF RECALL HAD NEW COOLING LINES AND KITS INSTALLED. NO INSPECTION WAS DONE BY CAMERA.

WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MILES AN HOUR AND THE TRANSMISSION VIOLENTLY STOPPED. I ALMOST GOT IN A CAR ACCIDENT. THESE TRANSMISSION ARE AN ISSUE AND HONDA REFUES TO RECALL THE CARS. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED.

THE 3RD GEAR IN MY AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HAD ALMOST COMPLETELY GIVEN OUT. THE FIRST INCIDENT OF FAILURE WAS WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. WHEN MY VEHICLE TRIED TO SHIFT TO 3RD GEAR THE GEAR WOULDN'T CATCH AND THE ENGINE REVVED FREELY WITHOUT INCREASING THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE. I DID RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM SPECIFICALLY ASSOCIATED WITH THIS MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR AND DISCOVERED THE ISSUE TO BE CONSISTENT WITH OTHER REPORTS.

THE TORQUE CONVERTER ISNT LOCKING UP ANYMORE...THE CAR CAN STOP ANY TIME BY ITSELF. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CODE P0741

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 62 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND THE RPMS INCREASED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TORQUE CONVERTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 04V176000 (POWER TRAIN). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 142,000.

TRANSMISSION FAILED ON MY 2003 3.0 AUTOMATIC HONDA ACCORD.

COMPLETE TRANSMISSION FAILURE REQUIRING REPLACEMENT OR REBUILDING OF THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. NOTE, THIS IS A 2003 HONDA ACCORD V6 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS.

AFTER BEING SERVICE AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPLACEMENT OF TIMING BELT AND DRIVE BELT, THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE INTO DRIVE OR REVERSE. WHEN I PRESS ON GAS PEDAL THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE INTO GEAR WHEN DRIVING AT CITY SPEED OR HIGHWAY MERGING. THE MECHANIC SAID THE TRANSIMISSION IS BAD. THE CAR HAS ONLY 63K MILES. AFTER RESEARCH ON INTERNET, I FOUND THAT THE 2003 HONDA ACCORD V6 HAS THIS PROBLEM BUT HAS NOT RECALL SINCE IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUES. WELL, DRIVING AT 70 AND MERGING INTO TRAFFIC AND THE CAR WOULD GO CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *JS

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. SUDDEN DECELERATION CAUSED BY TRANSMISSION. VERY LUCKY NOT TO BE REAR ENDED. *JS

VERBATIM THE SAME TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AS EVERYONE ELSE. HONDA WAS UNWILLING TO COMPROMISE ON THIS FAULTY PART THAT'S WELL DOCUMENTED, HENCE THE INVOLUNTARY RECALL BY THE NHTSA. WE OFFERED TO WORK WITH THEM BY TRADING THIS MODEL IN FOR A NEWER ONE, TALK ABOUT US WILLING TO FORGET AND FORGIVE FOR BRAND LOYALTY. APPARENTLY HONDA DOESN'T CARE NOT WILLING TO DO EVEN THIS. THIS IS MY FOURTH HONDA AND WILL BE MY LAST. AVERAGE COST OF OWNERSHIP HAS BEEN 1000/MONTH, AT THIS POINT I COULD HAVE GOTTEN THE TESLA I REALLY WANTED.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE 210 FREEWAY TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTED SUDDENLY WITHOUT A WARNING AND RPM SHOT UP TO 6,000 REVS BRINGING THE CAR TO ALMOST A STANDSTILL WITH CARS BEHIND ME GOING AT 70 MPH ALMOST REARENDING MY CAR.

DRIVER'S SIDE AXLE SHAFT ASSEMBLY SNAPPED. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT. THIS OCCURRED WHEN I WAS TAKING A SLOW LEFT TURN.

I STARTED TO USE THE HONDA AROUND 2008 FOR WORK. IT'S MILEAGE WAS ABOUT 25000 MILES DUE TO THE USE OF A SECOND FAMILY CAR AT THE TIME. I HAVE AN EXTENSIVE RECORD OF MAINTAINING MY HONDA WITH A LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP SINCE I PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT EXPIRED IN APRIL 2014. ON AUG 26, 2014 I LEFT MY WORK AND ENTERED THE FREEWAY RAMP AT ABOUT 30 MPH READY TO ACCELERATE AND MERGE WITH TRAFFIC. THE CAR STARTED HESITATING AND THE RPMS WOULD RACE WITHOUT THE CAR PICKING UP SPEED. CONCERNED ABOUT THE CARS BEHIND ME AND MAKING A VERY FAST DECISION TO MOVE RIGHT AS FAST AS I COULD WITHOUT GETTING REAR ENDED, I MANAGED TO EXIT THE FREEWAY TO A RIGHT OFF RAMP. I EXPERIENCED THE SAME RPM ACCELERATION A WEEK OR TWO PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT, BUT I THOUGHT I HAD JUST HIT THE GAS PEDDLE IN A STRANGE WAY WHILE DRIVING. I EXITED THE FREEWAY AND DROVE HOME. WHEN I ARRIVED BY MY HOME 10 MINUTES LATER, THE CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING AND I DRIFTED INTO A PARKING SPACE ON THE SIDE OF MY HOUSE. A FAMILY MEMBER HELPED ME STRAIGHTEN OUT THE CAR IN TWO MOVES AFTER I PLACED IT IN NEUTRAL. I ENDED UP TOWING THE CAR TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHO DIAGNOSED IT AS AA BROKE TRANSMISSION. THE HONDA WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW, I'M THE ONLY OWNER AND IT WAS BOUGHT BECAUSE OF IT'S RELIABILITY, REPUTATION AND QUALITY IN GENERAL.. *JS

MY TRANSMISSION AND TORQUE CONVERTER FAILED ON BROWNSVILLE ROAD. I CALLED HONDA WHO REFUSED ANY TYPE OF ASSISTANCE. THEY SAID IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS CARS IN MY LIFE AND NEVER HEARD OF THE TRANSMISSION DYING. IT SEEMS, AS I CHECK THE INTERNET, THAT THE HONDA ACCORD V-6 HAS A HISTORY OF TRANSMISSION FAILURES. TO DATE, HONDA REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ISSUE.

THE CAR IS SHIFTING WHILE IN MOTION. TRANSMISSION JUMPS WHEN SHIFTING INTO GEAR. CAR IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. CERTIFIED TECHICIAN ADVISED US NOT TO DRIVE THE CAR.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE MAIN ROAD AND I HEARD A NOISE, MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOPPED, I TRIED TO APPLY BRAKES, BUT THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK, THE HAND BRAKES DID NOT WORK EITHER, WAS VERY SCARY. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN IT SUDDENLY STOPPED ON ME. THIS VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS BEEN SERVICED AT HONDA DEALERSHIP AND I HAVE TAKEN VERY GOOD CARE OF THIS VEHICLE. I AM SCARED FOR MY SAFETY DRIVING THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE I COULD HAVE ENDED UP IN A BIG ACCIDENT LIKE THE ONE THAT RECENTLY HAPPENED IN SEATTLE TO THE "DUCK TOURIST BUS" BECAUSE OF A BROKEN AXLE. I CONTACTED HONDA ABOUT THIS ISSUE, MENTIONED ABOUT MY CONCERNS REGARDING THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE, BUT THEY DID NOT CARE.

TRANSMISSION FAILURE. HAD TO HAVE TRANSMISSION REBUILT IN 2011 AT 153K MILES. NOW AT 200K MILES I AM HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AGAIN. *TR

2003 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO TRANSMISSION ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO IN REVERSE AND THE RPM WOULD ONLY RUN AT 3,000. *JB

I CAME TO A STOP AT A BUSY INTERSECTION. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I STARTED UP, TAKING A RIGHT TURN, AND THE ENGINE WENT INTO HIGH RPMS AND LOUD CLINKING NOISES STARTED. I STOPPED IMMEDIATELY AND WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED IN THE INTERSECTION. PUT THE CAR IN PARK, BUT NEW NOISES STARTED, TRIED L1, SAME THING. HAD TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND LEAVE IT AT THE INTERSECTION WITH HAZARD LIGHTS ON, BUT CARS STILL WERE ALMOST REAR-ENDING ME. TOW TRUCK CAME 1.25 HOURS LATER. HARROWING EXPERIENCE BEING STUCK OUT THERE IN THAT INTERSECTION! AUTO REPAIR SHOP CALLED AND SAID THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED AND I NEED A NEW ONE. NOW I CAN'T GET TO/FROM SCHOOL! I'VE READ THE 2003 ACCORD HAS A HUGE PROBLEM WITH TRANSMISSIONS, SO I GUESS I'M UNFORTUNATELY IN THAT GROUP AS WELL. ANOTHER DEAD HONDA. *TR
