POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I OWN A 2003 HONDA ACCORD LX V6 COUPE, WITH 35,000 MILES AND CURRENT IAW OWNERS MANUAL PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE, MY TRANSMISSION WITH OUT! I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO OURISMAN HONDA LOCATED IN LAUREL WHERE THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT 'FLUSHED THE TRANSMISSION TWICE', RETURNING IT TO ME STATING 'THE PROBLEM WAS TARGETED AND CORRECTED'. THE VERY NEXT DAY, TAKING A TRIP TO PHILADELPHIA WITH MY GIRLFRIEND, WE NOTICED THE TRANSMISSON SLIPPING AS WE WERE LEAVING THE TOLL BOOTH, 15-20 MILES DOWN THE ROAD THE TRANSMISSON WAS SO SEVERE IT WOULDN'T ACCELERATE PAST 3RD GEAR (5 SPEED AUTOMATIC). THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED IN UNDER THE RECCOMENDATION OF PRINCETON HONDA, WHERE THE TRANSMISSON WAS REPLACED. HOWEVER, THE REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSON, PER OURISMAN HONDA OF LAUREL, WILL NOT BE COVERED PAST THE FACTORY 36,000 MILE WARRANTY.*AK

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE
IN MARCH OF 2003, WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM THE GROCERY STORE, MY HUSBAND SWERVED AND THEN STOPPED (WITHOUT ANY COLLISION) AND THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG OF OUR 2001 HONDA ACCORD EX DEPLOYED WHILE I WAS SITTING IN THE SEAT. WE WERE INSTRUCTED BY HONDA SERVICE AT WHITE PLAINS, NY TO GO THROUGH OUR INSURANCE, ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THE REASON THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED WAS DUE TO FAULTY AIR BAG SENSORS IN OUR CAR'S COMPUTER. FIVE WEEKS LATER, WE GOT OUR CAR BACK FROM THE SHOP. NOW, A YEAR LATER, OUR INSURANCE COMPANY AT THE TIME (PROGRESSIVE) HAS ADVISED US TO FOLLOW UP WITH THE NHTSA TO FILE A COMPLAINT AGAINST HONDA. TO THIS DATE, THE SRS LIGHT ON MY DASHBOARD STILL COMES ON WITH NO EXPLANATION, AND THE GREENWICH AND WHITE PLAINS HONDA DEALERSHIPS WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. MEANWHILE, I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING THE CAR AND HAVE BEEN SINCE THE INCIDENT WHEN I WAS 3 MONTHS PREGNANT, AND NOW HAVE A 6 MONTH OLD CHILD THAT I DRIVE AROUND IN THE VEHICLE. *AK

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:CRUISE CONTROL
THE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM, WHEN ACTIVATED DOES NOT SMOOTHLY REGULATE SPEED. INSTEAD IT SETS AT THE DESIRED SPEED AND THEN PROCEEDS TO SPEED UP ABOUT 5 MILES PER HOUR BEYOND THE SET SPEED POINT AND THEN DECELERATE BACK TO THE SET SPEED POINT IN A RECURRING CONTINOUS FASHION UNTIL DEACTIVATED. ON AT LEAST TWO OCCASIONS THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS ACTIVATED BY SIMPLY PUSHING ON THE GAS PEDDLE. IN BOTH INSTANCES THIS OCCURRED WHEN PUSHING ON THE GAS PEDDLE NEAR THE 25 MILES PER HOUR ACTIVATION SPEED OF THE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM. IT DEACTIVATED IMMEDIATELY BY STEPPING ON THE BRAKE PEDDLE. IF A DRIVER DOES NOT REALIZE WHAT IS HAPPENING, THEY MAY FIND THEIR CAR ACCELERATING AND NOT REALIZE THAT THEY MUST DEACTIVATE THE CRUISE CONTROL BY STEPPING ON THE BRAKE OR TURNING OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL BY PRESSING THE CANCEL BUTTON ON THE STEERING WHEEL.*AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING A 'CHECK ENGINE' LIGHT ON INTERMITTENTLY IN MY 1998 HONDA ACCORD EX-L 4 CYLINDER FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF THOUSAND MILES. I HAVE BEEN DOING SOME READING UP ON IT AND THERE ARE SO MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND I HAVE REACHED THE CONCLUSION THAT HONDA SHOULD BE DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOME SORT OF INVESTIGATION INTO WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AND WHAT THEY CAN DO TO FIX IT.*AK

SEAT BELTS:REAR/OTHER
REAR SEAT BELTS IN MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD EX ARE TOO SHORT FOR ADULTS. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO GET THEM ON WITHOUT ACTIVATING THE AUTOMATIC RETRACTION MECHANISM, WHICH MAKES THEM VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. IT OFTEN TAKES 4-6 ATTEMPTS TO GET THEM ON COMFORTABLY, AND IF YOU LEAN FORWARD WITH THE BELT ON, YOU HAVE TO START OVER.*AK
