![]() So there you have at least one 2001 V6 Accord with a transmission problem reported. As I understand it, this is another quality issue and I have reported that problem elsewhere. ![]() To compound it, I have had to replace all the engine mounts (front in 2008 and the rear ones this month, May 2012). I do not believe I will be buying another Honda because of the transmission quality issues. But I did not get any response from them (this is a Honda dealer in Maryland - DC capital region). When I have been in to the dealer for other issues/maintenance, I made sure to bring it up again at least twice. ![]() This lurching/jerking started occurring at about the 10th - 11th month after getting that rebuilt transmission. However, I do not believe the transmission should have gone to that kind of failure that soon.Īnd now, guess what? The same bloody thing has been happening again for the past two - three years. I have spent a lot of money on regular maintenance and repair/replace when parts failed from wear and tear. The thing is, I always took my car in and paid for all the various maintenance things even when I did not believe the vehicle needed it. They did give a price break since it was just outside of the warranty and I was/am a long time customer. Problem occurred about three years ago with around 112 - 118,000 miles and cost appx $3,000 to get a rebuilt transmission from the Honda dealer. Sometimes it would also lurch/jerk after being in drive and at a stop light/sign. Transmission would lurch or jerk at various times after putting into drive from park. What ever you do pass up a HONDA ACCORD later you will regret it. Oh and by the way I also own a 1995 Honda Accord Ex and that car has the same issue. I was better off with my INFINITI never had a worry with it. But I will not sink $3,000.00 in it just enough to stop the jerk and to the dealer it sells. I did not include my vin number because why what will it solve? Honda calling me and offering me a transmission at a low price for my car? I think not. Are you fricking kidding me that was the price of the car. I have a neighbor with the same year Honda and he needs a transmission too, he priced a new one about $3,000.00. Reading all these complaints let me know I am not by myself. I would never have purchased this car if someone didn't run a light and tear up my truck (NOT A HONDA). It is unfair for me to rig it and sell it to the next sucker because someone thought it was fair to do that to me. And of course HONDA will never step up and do anything because they are COWARDS. It's very discouraging to want to make sure your car is in top shape to now know you need a transmission. I just recently replaced a sensor on my car and the check engine light wont go off because the TCS light jumps on and that brings the check engine light on again. ![]() Well it's a year later and the problem has never stopped. I am the second owner of this car, I purchased it from a so called dealer in Chalmette, Louisiana.(BEWARE) I brought this jerk problem to him at the time of purchase and he dismissed it with the fact that the V6 motor does that. Also make sure your 2001 Accord has been checked for the airbag recall: excessive pressure may cause metal fragments during airbag deployment. This sensor is covered under Honda's lifetime seat belt warranty, but some dealers charge a $100+ "diagnostic fee" or tell customers the entire SRS unit ($800) is bad. The SRS warning light likes to come on due to a defective seat belt sensor - typically the driver's side. Repair cost to the subframe is over $2,000. Subframe rust near the front passenger side wheel has become a problem recently, due to the poorly positioned A/C drain hose directly above that area. Honda eventually extended the transmission warranty to 93 months/109k miles for the 2000-2001 Accords as settlement for a class action lawsuit, but that period is over & owners of Accords with transmission problems are out of luck. Transmission failure problems have been a huge problem for Honda Accords & other models all through the early 2000s model years. The transmission begins slipping & eventually has to be replaced, typically soon after 100,000 miles & with a repair cost of over $2,000. We recommend avoiding this model year like the plague. Notes: The 2001 Honda Accord suffers from widespread transmission failure, subframe rust, & problems with the airbag system (SRS). ![]()
