I have a 1999 Honda Accord with 66k miles and both the recall problem were fixed and now the symptoms have reappeared and Honda regional office said that car is not under the warranty and there are no recalls on the ignition switch even though the symptoms are exactly the same as before when they had to replace ignition switch in 2002-2005 period. Local Honda dealer wants $500 to replace the ignition switch and recode and swears that this not part of the previous recalls that had something to do with being able to pull the key out while the car was running and was not interested about the 2nd recall. I have already filed a complain with the Highway Safety and suggest everyone should do the same even if they have the problem fixed by paying from their own pocket.

Thanks for replying. Unfortunatley, it is the transmission, althought it drove perfectly today. The cost for used is $1,000 - $1,500, a new one is about a thousand more. I guess I am thinking it's about 5 new car payments. I am going to complain to Honda though. You never know, or wishful thinking.......
 
The odd thing is it just happened, no warning at all.

PCM Replacement by greatlakesjr

'98 Accord 4 cyl. I have had a Check Engine light on for awhile as well as some problems with stalling (not often). The acceleration has been shaky from a standstill as well, it hesitates. The diagnosis was that it needs a new PCM. Quote was $1,000 parts and labor. Reasonable? Thanks.

For the record, I don't intend this to sound like I'm patronizing you, because I'm not...
 
At 84,000 miles, the transmission should have been serviced at least once, preferably twice. If you have had this done, take those records (if you have them, if not, ask for them to look up when it was serviced) with you when asking for repair. Make sure everyone in that dealership knows you did have the car serviced, you'll have a better chance at getting some "help" towards the cost of your transmission if you can prove you were proactive at maintaining it.
 
Keep us posted, I'm eager to know how it turns out!

I'll let you know. I called Honda and opened a case. Our reliable mechanic for 20 years quoted $1,790. for a used transmission, double if it's rebuilt - no warranty. Wednesday, I take it to the dealer where I bought it to verify it's trashed to Honda and wait and see if they offer any goodwill. I have faithfully followed all maintence, including transmission. I had the car serviced at the dealership where I bought it for 8 out of 9 years, and still go there for anything I'm really concerned about (replaced starter in Jan 09).

Well, at very least they can't hold it against you that you didn't maintain the car properly. Maybe they can help you out. We'll keep our fingers crossed!

Have you had the transmission fluid drained and refilled? If so,did you use Honda brand transmission fluid?

Transmission and break fluid type question by 330blast

Hi there,
 
I have a 1999 Accord, LX, 4 cyl. The odometer reads 132,xxx miles now. At 120,000, I took the car to Precision Tune for a major service, during which they changed the transmission fluid and break fluid.
 
I happened to read the manual yesterday and notice that it says always use genuie honda fluids for both. "You may temporarily put in alternatives like Dexron III ATF, and Dot 3 break fluids, but should bring the car to the dealer and changed to OEM fluid as soon as you can".
 
Given the fact that my car has been running normal for the last 12K miles, I am wondering whether this is just to release honda from liability. Basically, should I go to the dealer and have both changed to Honda fluids now, or I can wait until 150,000 miles service.
 
Thanks in advance for your input.
