Honda Accord transmission trouble?
Has anyone had their transmission fail and get reimbursed by Honda. I just paid 2k for a new tranny and I want to be reimbursed by Honda, The car is still under warranty.
Honda automatic transmissions have been a probelm for a long time.
They have no filter in them and you have to change the fluid every year. Other wise they will pump dirt thru the trans until it plugs up a port and burns it up.
The other thing is NEVER shift from R to D with out coming to a complete stop and NEVER rock a honda to get it un stuck from the snow. It can kill a transmission on the spot.
As far as warranty it depends on the warranty of your car. You eill have to contact the warranty company or dealership to find out.
I once replaced and engine that was covered by Fram one oftheir oil filters came apart and put l;ittle pieces of filter in the motor of a car and belw the engine. They paid to install the new engine for the customer.
I just had the tranny in my 2001 Accord replaced at no charge by Honda. The car has about 96,000 miles. The transmisson warranty for 2000-2001 Accords was extended to 7 years/100,000 miles by Honda.
What year is it?
My 97 accord tranny went out at 115k, and my warranty only went to 100k. I wonder if this is a common problem and if these people driving until 200k pay a lot in maintenance?
If the car is new, you might be able to get your money back. If it's used, aka Certified Pre-Owned, you're not going to. Used cars are great & you have to remember not all of them were well taken care of by the previous owner(s).
- Transmission going out on friend's 2004 Impala. Is it possible to install a manual transmission taken from a 1992 Honda Civic in this car? Not worth replacing trans on a car this old, but the engine and everything else are still perfect. My friend was able to get a free manual trans from a 1992 Honda Civic. But i'm not sure whether or not you can use a trans from a different vehicle

- Every time I stop to get gas in my 2003 Honda element, it has trouble starting? My car recently had a completely new engine put in and now when I get gas it takes a few tries to get it started. So I put a new battery in and now I have to put my foot on the gas pedal while starting it for it to start. But it's only when I stop to get gas this happens. Every time other than that it starts just fine, no problem at all. Does anyone have any ideas what is going on?
