MY CRANK SHAFT PULLEY BOLT BROKE OFF DAMAGING MY WHOLE ENGINE. HONDA ESTIMATES IT WILL BE APPROX. 5900.00 TO FIX. THIS IS RIDICULOUS SINCE MY CAR IS PRACTICALLY NEW (1999) AND I GET ALL MY SERVICING AT THE DEALERSHIP!

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
POWER WINDOW KEEPS RUNNING OFF THE TRACK. IT NEEDS A NEW ROTATOR ON ALL FOUR WINDOWS. ABS MODULATOR HAS A LEAK IN IT. I AM INTERESTED IN A CLASS ACTION, LESS THEY WANT TO FIX MY CAR. I DON'T THINK THAT IT IS FAIR THAT WE PUT SO MUCH MONEY INTO THESE CARS WITH THE TUNE-UPS, AND THEY STILL BREAK DOWN

MY PROBLEM CONTINUES. SO I REPAIR, IT CONTINUES. IT IS HARD TO GET A NEW CAR AND AT THE PRESENT TIME FINANCES AREN'T ALLOWING ME TO PURCHASE A NEW VEHICLE. MY HEALTH IS SUFFERING FOR THAT REASON. WHEN I WARM MY CAR UPIN THE MORNINGS, IT REVS VERY HARD, THE CARBON MONOXIDE GETS INTO THE HOUSE...I AM SUFFERING FROM REALLY BAD HEADACHES. I NEED MY CAR TO GT BACK AND FORTH TO WORK. WITHOUT A VEHICLE I HAVE NO JOB. WHAT DO I DO. I AVE COMPLAINED TIL I A BLUE IN THE FACE. THE CAR IS NOW COSTING MORE TO FIX THAN IT IS WORTH.

THE ENGINE COMPLETELY BLEW OUT ONE DAY. I WAS ON THE WAY TO WORK AND THERE WAS AN EXPLOSION UNDER MY HOOD. HONDA PUT IN A RE-BUILT ENGINE AND I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS SINCE THEN. A FEW MONTHS LATER...THE PAINT GRADUALLY STARTED TO FADE AWAY ON THE ROOF. IT HAS ONLY GOTTEN WORSE AND WILL GET MUCH WORSE. IT IS A 1998 HONDA!! THIS STUFF SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING!

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I OWN A 1998 HONDA ACCORD SEDAN WHICH WAS BOUGHT IN DECEMBER OF 1998. LIKE SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE WHO OWN THE 1998-1999 MODELS, I AM HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AND THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE 100,000 MILES ON IT AND THE CAR IS SERVICED WHENEVER THE TIME CAME. MY DAD IS A MECHANIC SO HE WAS ALWAYS STRICT ON MAINTENANCE. EVEN TIMING BELT AND ALL OTHER BELTS WERE CHANGED OUT. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE I THOUGHT HONDA'S WERE RELIABLE. THIS IS A 5 YR. OLD CAR AND ALREADY THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I'VE CALLED MY DEALERSHIP AND EXPLAINED EVERYTHING. THEY GAVE ME A NUMBER TO HONDA OF AMERICA TO MAKE A COMPLAINT. THEY MADE A CLAIM AND CALLED ME BACK WITH NO HELP TO ME. THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE IS REALLY BAD ALSO, NOT MUCH HELP AND WERE RUDE. THEY STATED THAT THE WARRANTY IS OVER AND WILL NOT COVER ANYTHING. NOW MY CAR IS JUST SITTING AT THERE AND CAN;T BE DRIVEN SAFELY. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS ON ALL THE GEARS AND WILL NOT DRIVE CORRECTLY. AT A STOP, THE CAR WOULD JERK BACK TO FIRST ROUGHLY AND THE WHEN I ACCELERATE, IT SLIPS ON FIRST GEAR AND THEN FINALLY CATCHES VIOLENTLY. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN HONDA OVERALL. THEY ARE SUPPOSE TO BE RELIABLE CARS. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE I'M ONE OF THE MANY WHO ARE DEALING WITH THE SAME ISSUES. THE PRICE FOR A REBUILT TRANSMISSION IS 3500. I DIDN'T EXPECT TO BUY A NEW CAR IN 98 AND 5 YRS LATER HAVE TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. THERE IS SOMETHING FISHY GOING ON WITH THE 98-99 TRANSMISSION. EVEN THE 00-01 ACCORDS HAVE NOW WARRANT WITH A 100,000 MILE/ 7 YR. WARRANTY. HONDA SEEMS TO KNOW SOMETHING WE DON'T KNOW AND I THINK IT'S A RECALL. PLEASE HELP IF POSSIBLE. HERE'S A WEBSITE /FORUM WHERE MANY OTHERS ARE VOICING THEIR CONCERNS AND COMPLAINTS. HTTP://WWW.AUTOFAN.COM/FORUM_THREAD.ASP?MESSAGE=5734 AND HTTP://WWW.AUTOFAN.COM/FORUM_THREAD.ASP?MESSAGE=3625 PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN. THANK YOU, WAYNE LE. *AK

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:LINKAGES
THE THROTTLE CABLE STICKS IN COLD WEATHER, PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR PEDDLE TO THE FLOOR. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES. ONE INCIDENT OCCURRED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN GEAR. THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED TO A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP WAS TO PUT THE GEARSHIFT IN NEUTRAL AND TURN THE VEHICLE OFF. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THIS IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD.*AK
