There have been several years of Honda Accords with transmission problems. The most recent year with significant transmission problems was 2007. In that year, there were reports of the transmission slipping and jerking. There were also issues with the Accord's ability to downshift properly. These problems led to a recall of over 700,000 Honda Accords in 2007. Other years with reported transmission problems include 2003, 2004 and 2005.
