How many people own a 98 and up accord and how many of those having automatic transmision issue ?

I am getting a 99 Accord LX with 90K for my dad and is very worry about the transmission issue...I already made the deposit and suppose to pick up the car this weekend too...

Honda said 2% with issue but I would like to find out what the ratio is ...

Thank you

Nice poll

 

i have a tranny problem but the link wouldnt let me vote. its a 2001 honda 4cyl auto

 

99 EX 4-cyl AT. No transmission problems... roughly 140,000 miles. I do the regular maintenance, but I also don't take it easy on the car.

 

Thanks for the vote
75% problem as of right now

 

I'm on my second transmission and they just replaced the connectoin from the shifter to the transmission itself...cable i believe?

My extended warranty and the tranny problems are past 2 grand, at no expense to me. Thank God for those...

2000 Accord SE, 4 door auto.

 

Man... I know I'm not the only one out there that is NOT having problems...

I hope not... well, actually, I do... it would just be the final reason for me to do a manual conversion.

 

NOO!!!

Get the brand new warranty transmission and sell it on ebay!

 

98 F23 5spd. 140k. No issues. But then, I do take care of my cars.

 

You have a manual though...the autos are the ones with the problems. I've taken very good care of my car and it turned the auto fluid into liquid poo in less than 10k miles...

 

The topic does not specify AT/MT.

AT sucks in too many ways.

 

I'm sorry my car sucks too much for you

I'm trying to sell it and run away from it asap....

I'm sick of this auto tranny crap

 

my brother has one and trashed his tranny in a couple months....the f'ing idiot ran it like it was a race car :thumbdown....his was an auto tho too....

 

well i have a 2001 accord coupe 4cyl auto and im currently going through that stupid tranny problem. cant wait till i get this prelude 5spd conversion. Thank god for income tax

 

i have a 2001 4cyl LX A/T and i blew it at about 65k miles, i guess thats what i get for having a heavy foot...luckily, it was still under warranty and honda replaced it for free. it started off with little things like slow, lagging shifts. then it led to a little bit of grinding. then out of nowhere it just went out on me, it wouldnt shift into second gear and would just rev like it was in neutral. too bad honda wouldnt replace it with a manual

 

Thanks for the vote....
This is really worrying me ...more people having issue with transmission....

How can Honda say it 2% with issue ?

 

When my car was still an auto it ran great no problems. Even the first time I put the turbo kit on it for about 6 months. It only started to give me problems when I got really cray with the power. It was a 99" accord 4cyl. I can also say taht when working at honda we stocked trannys for the 4cyl and V6 accords and odyssey. The 4 cyl have there problems, but the V6's are def. worse. Just take care of it and you SHOULD be ok. If its the original and has had no problems and been well maintained the it should last a long time.

 

So why do the cars prior to 98 have no transmission problem? Was it a new transmission config in 98? I have 116,000 on my 97 and the auto is as good as new. Knock wood.

 

Bought a Used 96 lx with 69k on it..by 77k auto tranny blew out...so i got it rebuilt...

Because the people who don't have problems don't have to come on here to complain about it...

 

This would be a better poll if it said 'automatic transmissions only' or something because the manuals will mess up the scale cause theyre ******* bulletproof...
