Well, it happened to my friend also

[blacknight]

He has a 2003 TL-S and it finally happened to him.
He was driving down the road and started to feel a jerking feeling from the car.
Since his gas light was on, he decided to get some gas.
To make a long story short, he took it to the dealer,
they test drive the car and received a call that the tranny died during the test drive.
The car is now on a flat bed being towed back to the dealer for warranty service.

doesn't surprise me anymore really accords and acuras are dropping like flies

 

[blacknight]

The funny thing is that he was so happy when he got the car. He was like
260HP is all I need.
I told him about the tranny problems and see me in a year.
Sure enough, Less than 1 year later it happens.

Now, the dealer gave him a Loaner car....A BUICK LACERNE!! BAHWAHWAH

damn, that sucks. tell him he should take his car back and do a 6 speed swap on it. f*ck those autos, the next one will just die anyway.

 

[Wildman]

how many miles were on it?

 

[Browntown]

Is that car considered "an American car" like the new Accords are?

 

[blacknight]

Under 60K miles

 

[steadypimpin]

are 2000 model accords prone to tranny trouble??? Mine has 85,000 and runnin strong so far.

 

[PiZauL]

I pray that my tranny wont fail on me. I know people with the original tranny running strong at over 100k. I have only 40k now, and seems to be good. Got the recall problem solved a few years ago (had the oil jet kit installed).

I've got 163,600 on mine, and never had a problem... but... it's a 5-speed
