![]() ![]() Why wasn't I, as a Honda owner, made aware of the problem? Why didn't Honda offer to have something put in the car that would prevent the transmission from overheating? Apparently the transmission commonly overheats and Honda is aware of it as they have sent bulletins regarding the problem to repair shops. The mechanic who looked at my car said that he has seen this same problem time and time again with Honda's especially with 2005 Accord V6 transmission failures. My situation with the transmission is obviously NOT an isolated incident and Honda needs to step-up to the plate. Now that I did a little research I see that it seems to be a common issue. ![]() I can't believe the transmission would just fail like that! I've never had any major problems with this car, no leaks, no engine issues and this leads me to believe there is some sort of defect with this automobile which needs to be recalled. This vehicle has been properly maintained and I've never missed an oil change, timing belt, etc. The car just stopped on a crowded interstate, which was very frightening. On 21st September 2014 automatic transmission failed without any warning while I was driving on freeway. ![]() I am the first owner and car has 80000 miles on it. This incident is concerning my 2005 Honda Accord EXL V6. I am reaching out to you after I have exhausted all the customer care channels and I do hope to receive a resolution of my issue. I have been advised by my auto service agent to notify Center for Auto Safety. Until this incident we have been taking pride in recommending your Honda to our friends and associates via word-of-mouth. I thank CAS and NHTSA for their ongoing efforts to provide consumers with information to ensure their safety and help them make informed decisions. I also would expect a heads up by the dealership(s) as to the well documented issues surrounding this vehicle.įirst of all I want to take this opportunity to mention that me and my family have been driving Honda for nearly 30 years and this is the first time I have experienced a transmission problem and this experience has certainly shaken my faith in the bullet-proof reputation of Hondas. I find myself in a state of shock due to the level of maintenance that this vehicle has received. Honda has put forward a problematic transmission that has cost them a lot of customers. I have never had a catastrophic problem with any previous vehicle and most have served me well over 100k and some are in the 200k owned by others. I have and currently own Toyota's and Chevy's. I have never owned a Honda, this was my first. I do have a case number N01-00-219 that I am sure is getting tossed into the circular file as I write this. The dealership service manager has offered to see if there is any recourse and the representatives that I have spoken to at Honda said the transmission was faulty because the car is almost 11-years old. There has been no mention of any issues with the transmission by any of the dealerships although is you Google Honda Accord transmission you would think you Google LaBron James with the number of results, none good. ![]() Skip forward to the next day and after I had to call again, the service adviser called back indicating that the transmission needed to be replaced. I asked what the drain & fill was for and they replied precautionary. The initial call was made indicating 02 sensor, then a full day later the service adviser called to say that a drain & fill needed to be done on the transmission and that they recommended I have them replace the belts and plugs which is normally done before 70k miles. The vehicle was driven to the dealership that has performed the entirety of it's service. On the engine light came on and the drive light on the dash was flashing. The vehicle in question has had text book service performed by the local authorized Honda dealership. I asked the service adviser the reasoning and hey indicated that because of the age of the vehicle sensors become faulty. Vehicle was towed to a authorized Honda dealership and sensor was replaced. 2005 Honda Accord with 58,500 miles had a transmission sensor failure in September 2013. ![]()
