ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHEN MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD EX V6 WAS ABOUT 2 YEARS OLD, THE LIGHT DISPLAY ON MY AUDIO TUNER/CD WENT OUT. I THOUGHT SOMEONE JUST NEEDED TO CHANGE THE DISPLAY TO GET THE LIGHT BACK ON, BUT IT TURNED OUT THAT THE WHOLE UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER DID REPLACE IT FREE, BUT NOT UNTIL I PUSHED THEM TO SEE THE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS. TODAY, ABOUT 2 YEARS AFTER THE UNIT WAS REPLACED, I STARTED MY CAR TO FIND THAT THE LIGHT WAS ON, BUT THE AUDIO UNIT WAS NOT PRODUCING ANY SOUND. I AM CALLING THE DEALER TODAY, BUT I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE I HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE A RADIO ON A CAR AT ALL, NOW I AM GOING TO REPLACE IT TWICE ON A CAR THAT IS 4 YEARS OLD. SOME HOW I DON'T THINK THIS IS GOING TO BE GRATIS.*AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
FAULTY TRANSMISSION - HAVE SERVICED 4 TIMES IN 1 1/2 YEARS. HONDA IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND IS ONLY OFFERING TO COVER 1/2 OF PARTS TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION ON 1998 HONDA ACCORD. IT SHIFTS INCORRECTLY AND REVS VERY HIGH, THEN SLAMS INTO NEXT GEAR. PROBLEMS STARTED AROUND 74K MILES AFTER I OWNED FOR 7 MONTHS. SAID THEY WON'T COVER WHOLE REPLACEMENT BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE REGULAR SERVICE DONE AT HONDA DEALERSHIPS. I WAS ABLE TO PROVE I HAD SERVICE DONE AT REPUTABLE DEALERS BUT NOT HONDA. IT IS ESTIMATED THE REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION WILL COST ME AROUND $1500.00. HONDA OF AMERICA SHOULD PAY FOR THE WHOLE THING IN MY MIND. THERE ARE PLENTY OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THESE TRANSMISSIONS. WHEN IS SOMEONE GOING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT?*AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I GOT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON MY 1998-ACCORD-LX (97000 MILES ON THIS ONE). TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED COMPLETELY AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I GOT ALL THE REGULAR SEVICES DONE AT ONLY HONDA DEALERS AND THERE WAS NO INDIATION ABOUT THIS FAILURE. FOR NO FAULT, THIS THING HAS FAILED. I WOULD THINK THAT THE PART ITSELF IS DEFECTIVE, IN THE FIRST PLACE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE FURTHER.*AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
BACK LAST YEAR IN MAY I HAD TO REPLACE MY V-6 3.0 AUTOMATIC TRANSMITION AT 74,000 MILES! I CAN UNDERSTAND IF THE TRANSMITION GOES OUT AT 125,000 MILES OR MORE BUT 74,000 DOESNT SOUND RIGHT TO ME. THEY SAID WHEN I HAD THE TRANSMITION REPLACED THAT THE GEARS IN THE TRANSMITION COMPLEATLY WORE AWAY! THIS REPAIR COSTED ME $2,000 AND AT THE TIME I DIDN'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY. THE CAR HAD REGULAR CHECK UPS AND WAS WORKING FINE FOR YEARS. I WOULD LIKE YOU TO CHECK MORE ACCORDS IF THEY HAVE TRANSMITION PROBLEMS LIKE I HAVE HAD, I HAVE TALKED TO MANY PEOPLE ONLINE WHO ALSO HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND I HAVE ONE FRIEND WHO ALSO HAD THIS PROBLEM, BUT FOR HIM HE JUST HAD TO PAY FOR THE PARTS BECAUSE HE COULD FIX IT HIM SELF. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM AND IF THERE IS COMPONSATION PLEASE HELP ME BECAUSE THAT IS ALOT OF MONEY THAT I DO NOT MAKE AS A STUDENT!*AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH
HONDA CURRENTLY HAS A RECALL SCHEDULED ON THEIR WEBSITE FOR 1999 ACCORDS INVOLVING THE IGNITION SWITCH. THIS FAILURE CAUSES THE CAR TO QUIT WHILE DRIVING AND/OR NOT START PROPERLY. THESE HAVE BOTH HAPPENED TO ME, BUT HONDA WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT AS MY VIN IS NOT SUPPOSED TO HAVE A BAD SWITCH. MY VEHICLE IS ACTING EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED ON THE WEBSITE. IT HAS QUIT WHILE DRIVING TWO TIMES AND NOT STARTED ONCE. BOTH TIMES IT QUIT I WAS DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. IT STARTED RIGHT UP AGAIN. CAN ANYTHING BE DONE TO GET MY VEHICLE FIXED UNDER THE RECALL. IT IS UNRELIABLE THE WAY IT IS. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
IGNITION INTERLOCK PROBLEM. KEY CAN BE REMOVED FROM IGNITION WHEN CAR IS IN NEUTRAL OR DRIVE. RECOGNIZED RECALL ISSUE. MY CAR IS IN AFFECTED 1999 MODEL YEAR, BUT NOT COVERED BECAUSE IT IS NOT WITHIN VIN RANGE!! THIS SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE RECOGNIZED VEHICLE RECALL. HONDA REFUSES TO HONOR THIS RECALL BECAUSE NOT IN VIN RANGE BUT LOTS OF OTHER CARS IN 99 MODEL YEAR HAVE FAILED BECAUSE OF THIS. BECAUSE OF THIS CAR WILL ROLL IF PARKED AND KEY REMOVED AND CAR IS NOT IN PARK. INTERLOCK IS SUPPOSED TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING. DANGEROUS! IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE TO ME. *JB SEE ODI 10054995. *DSY

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
MY 2004 HONDA ACCORD EX V6 OCCASIONALLY HAS ISSUES STARTING. MY HONDA ONLY HAS 1600 MILES ON IT. IT ACTS AS IF IT'S FLOODED; EVERYTIME I'VE HAD TO REMOVE THE KEY AND TRY AGAIN. I HAD THE SAME EXACT ISSUE (ALONG WITH MANY OTHERS) WITH MY 2003 HONDA ACCORD EX V6 -- SO MANY THAT THE DEALER BOUGHT THE VEHICLE BACK FROM ME (BEFORE I COULD LEMON LAW IT) AND PUT ME IN THE 2004 -- BECAUSE "HONDA'S ARE GOOD CARS". *JB
