Just bought myself another Accord
I'm happy to say that I'm a proud Honda owner of my new "used" 2002 Accord EX. This would be the 4th Honda Accord that i've owned. Although I am doubting this exact model.
2002 Honda Accord EX 69,000 miles V6 Firepepper Red Ivory leather I've been doing alot of reading and some people are saying that there are transmission problems on these V6 models. The problem cause it was assembled in the U.S. My Carfax is clean on this vehicle and there are no recalls for this Honda. I have yet to check with the local Honda dealership or call America Honda for verification. How many owners have this model engine and has had transmission problems? I'm guessing it's a hit and miss thing. Thanks, |

I think about 50% or so.

RE: Just bought myself another Accord
No recalls???? Are you sure???

RE: Just bought myself another Accord
there was an extended warranty on that tranny.

RE: Just bought myself another Accord
I would hope so.. i haven't experienced or noticed any problems yet but I would like to reassurance. I'll have to stop by a Honda shop to verify this. The good news is I either have 2 more years or I have 30K left on the tranny before the extended warranty runs out.
I love the red pearl.... :) |
RE: Just bought myself another Accord
I'll have to check with the Honda shop. I'm sure there are and if none has been serviced.. i wonder if they will warrant it.

RE: Just bought myself another Accord
check the recalls and TSB links at the top of the page. Print out any that apply to your car and have them all checked individually by Honda to see that everything that should have been done to your car has in fact been done. Also remember that even if they have done a recall, the new part can have the same problem and they will be responsible to fix it again if need be.

Thanks, i'll definately do that.

RE: Just bought myself another Accord
yeah they have a recall. i believe it to be for 98-01 for 7 years or 100,000 miles which ever comes first......

RE: Just bought myself another Accord
I just called the local Honda dealer/repair and they verified the VIN, saying that the car is not on the list. I'm happy to know that it's not on the to be damaged list, however, I do hope that I don't have to deal with this in the future.

RE: Just bought myself another Accord
I've owned a
1990 LX 4 Door AT (from 1998-2000), 1994 Accord LX MT (2002-2003), 1991 Accord EX MT(2004-just sold it last weekend), 2002 Accord EX AT (just bought it to relace my 91). Its not even funny how many Civic's i've owned. :D but they are such great cars! 94 civic coupe dx 94 civic hatch dx 99 Civic SI (new in 99) 99 Civic DX still have it If you've owned a Honda before i won't be suprised if you find yourself buying the same model that you sold years ago. At least that's how I find questing myself,.. "what car should i buy"? Oh , a Honda again. |

If your transmission is fine right now, keep changing the fluid ever 12,000 miles or so and put a transmission cooler. I have the i4 and mine failed, so I got a rebuilt in there and I take every precaution to extend the life. I'd be putting in my hayden 403 today if I wasn't sick...:(
Your color accord sounds sick. Got any pics? |
RE: Just bought myself another Accord
No photos right now. But i'll take photos soon. It's all stock except for the tint which is fine by me. :)
