2000 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER STATES P0740 CODE KEEPS COMING ON AND TRANSMISSION HESITATION *TGW

TRANSMISSION WAS STARTING TO JERK FORWARD AND BALKING WHEN STARTING FROM A START. TRANSMISSION STARTED TO OVER HEAT. MY SON SAID THAT THE CAR SEAMED TO JUST GIVE OUT ON HIGHWAY AND SCARED HIM AS IT CAUSED A STRANGE FEELING OF SOMETHING TERRIBLE WRONG. NOW WHEN TRANSMISSION IS PUT INTO REVERSE A VERY STARTLING NOISE LIKE A LOUD BANG IS HAPPENING. NOW I AM AFRAID TO LET MY SON BECAUSE OF SAFETY REASONS USE IT. I AM ON A FIXED INCOME AND I ALWAYS TAKE CARE OF THIS CAR, BUT THIS IS JUST GOING TO BREAK ME TO TRY TO GET FIXED. I HAVE READ SO MANY COMPLAINTS SINCE I STARTED TO INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM THAT I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE THAT HONDA AND THE NHTSA HAS NOT REMEDIED THIS DANGEROUS AND EXPENSIVE PROBLEM. I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH TOYOTA ON RUSTING FRAME RAILS THAT ALMOST KILLED ME AND MY DAUGHTER. I HAD TO TRY TO SELL MY TACOMA TRUCK AT MORE THAN HALF ITS RESALE VALUE, BECAUSE TOYOTA JUST LIKE HONDA JUST WONT ADMIT OR FIX THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM. BY THE TIME THE NHTSA DID GET TOYOTA TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE UNSAFE FRAME RUST MOST OF US OWNERS HAD ALREADY HAD TO TRY TO GET WHAT EVER MONEY WE COULD TRY TO GET. IT WAS HORRIBLE TO LOSE ALL THAT MONEY AND TRY TO GET ANOTHER VEHICLE. NOW HONDA IS PLAYING WITH NHTSA AND IT IS STARTING ALL OVER AGAIN FOR A LOT OF US HONDA OWNERS.WHAT MORE CAN US OWNERS DO TO GET OUR FAIR SHARE. I KNOW I FILED A COMPLAINT AGAINST TOYOTA AND NOW HONDA. I HOPE NHSTA DOES SOMETHING FAST BECAUSE AS OF NOW I HAVE NO CAR TO USE. LETS RIGHT THIS NOW. I KNOW THAT A LOT OF HARD WORKING PEOPLE DESERVE BETTER THAN WHAT HONDA IS EVEN THINKING OF DOING OR NOT DOING TO RIGHT THIS PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE A 2000 HONDA ACCORD WITH AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AND V6 ENGINE. ON 12/13/2008, THE TRANSMISSION WAS SHIFTING HARD AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE TRANSMISSION HAS TO BE REBUILT AT THE TUNE OF $3200. HERE HAS BEEN YEARLY SERVICE DONE TO PREVENT ANY OTHER ISSUES. ON 12/28/11, THE TRANSMISSION WAS SHIFTING HARD, ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND A P740 CODE WAS FOUND. CLEARLY THIS IS A FAULTY TRANSMISSION DESIGN AND A RECALL SHOULD BE IN ORDER. THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE THAT HAD THE SAME ISSUES FROM YEARS 1999 TO 2001. THIS ISSUE IS A HAZARD. *TR

THIS IS A MANUFACTURER'S FAULT AS IT IS MENTIONED ON THE WEB AS WELL AS BY AUTO SHOPS ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION. THE CAR CAN STOP ANYTIME! I HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS OF $$ ALREADY FIXING OTHER PARTS AND CANNOT FIX THIS PROBLEM AS THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM/DEFAULT FROM THE MANUFACTURERS. PLEASE ALL RAISE YOUR VOICE AND HAVE THE COMPANY TAKE CARE OF THIS AS THEY ARE NOT HELPING ME IN THIS MATTER! *JS

TRANSMISSION & INTERNAL PARTS FAILURE DURING VERY BUSY MORNING DRIVE IN ATLANTA>>>ALMOST CAUSED A MULTIPLY CAR COLLUSION>>>>PART OF THE JUNK HONDA HAS PUT IN THESE CARS & DENIED ANY LIABILITY>>>>ALSO HAVE AN )@ ODYSSEY WITH A JUNK TRANSMISSION>>>I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER HONDA>>>ANYONE NEED SOME HONDA GARBAGE CHEAP? *TR

ABNORMAL DOWNSHIFTING OF GEARS. HARDSHIFTING GEARS BETWEEN 1 AND 2. REPORTED THIS ISSUE TO HONDA DEALER IN YEAR 2006 AND THEY SAID ITS ALL OKAY AND NO ISSUES. I EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE OVER THE YEARS. WHEN I INITIALLY REPORTED THIS ISSUE IN 2006 FOR MY ACCORD WAS COVERED UNDER HONDA EXTENDED WARRANTED FOR TRANSMISSION RECALL, BUT THE HONDA DEALER REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS ISSUE. IN YEAR 2010, ANOTHER HONDA DEALER DIAGNOSED IT AS A TRANSMISSION FAILURE, WHEN THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. I HAVE GONE TO INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOPS AND THEY ALSO CONFIRM ITS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE DUE TO INTERNAL MECHANICAL ISSUE. HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE IS DENYING THE WARRANTY COVERAGE EVEN THOUGH THE FIRST INSTANCE OF REPORT WAS DONE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN WARRANTY PERIOD. *TR

THE FIRST FAILURE WAS IN 2003. WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT COMPLETELY IN TRAFFIC. I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE STREET BEFORE THE CAR COMPLETELY STOPPED. THE REPAIR WAS DONE IN 2003 DURING A NATIONAL RECALL. THE CAR STARTED SHOWING SIGNS OF SLIPPING IN 2009 . I CONTACTED HONDA ABOUT THE REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION AND THEY SAID IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY FAILED IN MARCH, 2010. I WAS TRAVELING AT 55 MPH WHEN THE CAR STARTED TO LOSE POWER. THIS IS THE SECOND INCIDENT WITH THIS CAR WHERE THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING THIS CAR. *TR

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND BOUGHT MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD BRAND NEW FROM THE SAME DEALERSHIP THAT HAS DONE 99% OF THE MAINTENANCE ON THE VEHICLE, MINUS A FEW OIL CHANGES. THE CAR HAS HAD A "HARD" SHIFT AT TIMES FOR APPROXIMATELY A YEAR. I HAD NEVER THOUGHT MUCH ABOUT IT UNTIL THE LAST FEW WEEKS WHEN THE CAR STARTED TO REV UP AT LOW GEARS AND THEN VIOLENTLY JERKING TO SHIFT TO HIGHER GEAR. THIS IN ADDITION TO ALSO DISPLAYING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CONSTANTLY WHILE GREEN D OR DRIVE LIGHT IS BLINKING. WHEN THIS OCCURS THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE WHEN GAS PEDAL IS DEPRESSED FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN WILL SLOWLY BEGIN TO GO. I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED TWICE ON MY WAY HOME WITH MY 7 YEAR OLD SON IN HIS BOOSTER SEAT. THE CAR WOULD ACT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO GO AND THEN I HAD NO POWER, COULD NOT EVEN GET OVER TO THE CURB. CLOSEST DEALERSHIP IS 30 MINUTES AWAY VIA INTERSTATE AND AFTER READING MULTIPLE ONLINE COMPLAINTS AND STORIES OF NEAR FATAL ACCIDENTS ONLINE I AM AT A LOSS AS TO HOW TO HANDLE THIS. DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IT WAS OKAY TO DRIVE AS LONG AS ENGINE LIGHT WAS STEADILY ON. LUCKILY, I AM IN WALKING DISTANCE TO MY JOB, BUT I NEED TO MAKE A DECISION ON HOW TO PROCEED. IT APPEARS THAT HONDA HAS KNOWN OF THE DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION, BUT I NEVER RECEIVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL ALERTING ME TO THE FACT I WAS FACING POSSIBLE TOTAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE THAT COULD HAVE ENDANGERED NOT ONLY MYSELF, BUT MY SMALL SON AND THOSE DRIVERS AROUND ME. I HAVE READ THAT HONDA WILL NOT OFFER ANY FINANCIAL COMPENSATION FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION. I AM GOING TO CONTINUE TO RESEARCH THE ISSUE, BUT IF THIS IS ACCURATE IT IS A SHAME AS I HAVE OWNED TWO HONDA'S AND ALWAYS BRAGGED ABOUT HOW MUCH I LOVED DRIVING MY HONDA. NOT THRILLED ABOUT OWNING A VEHICLE MADE BY A COMPANY WHO IS AWARE OF A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD AND DOES NOT DO A BETTER JOB OF ALERTING THEIR LOYAL CUSTOMERS. *TR

THE TRANSMISSIONS ON MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD LX V6 STARTED SLIPPING THEN ERRATICALLY REVVING UP TO 4000 RPMS THEN SHIFT ALL THE SUDDEN. AND MOST OF THE TIME WHEN I SHIFT TO REVERSE IT JUST DOES A HUGE CLUNK NOISE AND A SUDDEN HARD SHIFT THEN GOES INTO REVERSE. MY HONDA ONLY HAVE 93,000 MILES. *TR

2000 HONDA ACCORD RECEIVED TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT. CONSUMER STATES TWO MONTHS AFTER THE REPLACEMENT SHE IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. *KB THE CONSUMER STATED THE GEARS WOULD SLIP AND GRIND UPON ACCELERATING FROM A STOP POSITION AND WHILE DRIVING. *JB

MY TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO 'OVERHEAT'. THE CAR WILL START AND GO FINE WHEN COLD BUT WHEN THE ENGINE GETS HOT THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS BADLY. *TR

HONDA ACCORD TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 84000 MILES. NEVER RECEIVED LETTER FORM HONDA MOTOR CORP TO HAVE IT CHECKED. EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR 109,000 MILES TO 2007. NEVER NOTIFIED. NOW PAYING 2100 OUT OF POCKET TO CHANGE. NOT TO MENTION SERIOUS SLIPPING ISSUE WHILE DRIVING. SHOULD HAVE SENT CERTIFIED LETTER. DANGEROUS AND EXPENSIVE. *TT

MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD TRANSMISSIONS HAS BEGAN TO SLIP ON MARCH 28,2011 AS I WAS MAKING A DELIVERY FOR MY JOB TRAVELING UPHILL ,I GOT A COUPLE OF READINGS FROM A MECHANIC WHICH WAS CODES P730,P740,&P780 IT HASN'T STOPPED AND CONTINUES TO SLIP AS I DRIVE AT ANY SPEED & SLIPS EVERYTIME I DRIVE.I HAD A MECHANIC CLEAN THE SOLENOIDS AND DO A TRANSMISSION FLUID FLUSH FOR $200.00,I ALSO ADDED LUCAS TRANSMISSION SLIP STOP AND PROBLEM STILL OCCUR.I GOT AN ESTIMATE FOR REPAIR FOR THE TRANSMISSION FOR $3000.00. *TR

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN SLIPPING HARD FOR QUITE SOME TIME. TRANSMISSION HAS ALWAYS BEEN CHECKED AT REGULAR SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE. TRANSMISSION FLUID HAS BEEN REPLACED ACCORDING TO MANUFACTURER'S MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE. ON 4/24/11 TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT ENGAGE WHILE MERGING ON A BUSY ROAD, ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT ENGAGE INTO 1ST GEAR RETURNING VEHICLE TO HOME. THIS VEHICLE HAS VERY LOW MILEAGE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC SIGNAL THE CONTACT REMOVED PRESSURE FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. THE CONTACT PLACED THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL WHILE APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL AND PARKED THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN TWICE. THE CONTACT COULD ALSO HEAR A GRINDING SOUND IN THE TRANSMISSION. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED AND STATED THEY COULD NOT PROVIDE ASSISTANCE BECAUSE THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS.

TRANSMISSION FAILED WHILE IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. ALMOST CAUSED A SIDE COLLISION AT INTERSECTION AFTER D4 LIGHT CAME ON AND ENGINE LIGHT. *TR

BOUGHT THIS ACCORD FOR MY 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER BECAUSE IS WAS A SAFE RELIABLE CAR TO START WITH. IT WAS IMPECCABLY MAINTAINED BY THE DEALER. SHE TOLD ME THAT THE CAR WAS STARTING TO "JERK" WHEN DRIVING IT. I CONFIRMED IT WAS "JERKING". I WENT ONLINE AND FOUND THAT HONDA HAS HAD SIGNIFICANT TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH THIS MODEL AND SEVERAL. NOW I'M LOOKING AT A SIGNIFICANT REPAIR OR PROBABLY REPLACEMENT OF THE TRANSMISSION. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME IT WILL REQUIRE A NEW TRANSMISSION WITHOUT EVEN LOOKING AT IT. *TR

I'D DRIVE DOWN THE FREEWAY OR UP A HILL TO GET TO A PARKING STRUCTURE AT SCHOOL AND THE CAR WOULD STALL AND SLIP GEARS WHERE I THOUGHT IT WOULD ROLL BACKWARDS OR PEOPLE BEHIND ME WOULD GET ANNOYED AND PASS AT RELATIVELY CLOSE AND HIGH SPEEDS. I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK ONE NIGHT WHEN THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY WENT OUT ON ME ROUGHLY 2 BLOCKS AWAY FROM MY HOUSE. I BARELY COULD MAKE IT OVER 10 MPH AND HAD MY CAR SIT IN THE PARKING LOT FOR 6 MONTHS. MY BROTHER HAS PUT IN A NEW BATTERY AND SUGGESTED I PUT NEW TRANSMISSION FLUID IN, BUT THE FLUID IS FULL AND THE CAR STILL SLIPS. I KNEW IT WAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM WHICH IS MORE COMPLICATED SINCE I KNOW THAT'S A LOT MORE PRICEY THAN WHAT I CAN AFFORD RIGHT NOW, AND ALL I WANT IS FOR MY CAR TO BE IN WORKING ORDER AGAIN SINCE THIS CAR SHOULD LAST A LOT LONGER SINCE IT'S BEEN TAKEN CARE OF. *TR

CAR IS SHIFTING LATE OR ERRATICALLY. I BELIEVE IT IS THE TRANSMISSION. I HAVE NOT GOTTEN IT FIXED OR REPAIRED. *TR

2000 HONDA ACCORD R GEAR SHIFT HANDLE (KNOB) BECAME DETACHED FROM POLE WHEN TRYING TO MOVE THE GEAR FROM PARK. *TR

I HAVE A 2000 HONDA ACCORD LX 4CYL COUPE WHICH WAS GIVEN A NEW TRANSMISSION AT 97K MILES BECAUSE OF A RECALL. IT HAS 140K MILES NOW AND THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AGAIN. MY HONDA DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME THE ONLY SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE IT AND THAT IT NEEDS TO BE DONE ASAP. THEY WILL NOT PAY FOR IT THIS TIME EVEN THOUGH THIS ONE ONLY HAS $40K MILES ON IT. THEY WANT ME TO PAY $2200. AFTER RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET, THIS TYPE OF TRANSMISSION PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD ON THIS MODEL ACCORD. *TR

TRANSMISSION SLIPS FROM NEW. *TR
