1999 HONDA ACCORD NEEDED TRANSMISSION REPLACED AT 40,000 AND NOW IS HAVING PROBLEMS AGAIN AT 46,000 MILES. A REPLACEMENT IS NEEDED. CAR IS SLOW TO MOVE IN 1ST AND DOES NOT SHIFT PROPERLY. HARD TO GET MOVING WITH TRAFFIC AND IS DANGEROUS WHEN FAST ACCELERATION IS NEEDED IN TRAFFIC. *LA

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO EXIT MY VEHICLE THROUGH MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR, IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR THE OUTSIDE. UNTIL I HAD THE $600 FOR THE REPAIR, I WAS FORCED TO ENTER MY VEHICLE THROUGH THE PASSENGER SIDE. I AM A FULL-TIME STUDENT, WORKING A FULL-TIME JOB, LIVING IN A BUSY WORLD. IT WAS QUITE EMBARASSING, AN INCONVIENIENCE, AND AN INCREDIBLE SAFETY HAZARD. BEFORE VISITING THIS SITE, I THOUGHT THIS PROBLEM WAS A STRANGE MISFORTUNE ONLY I SUFFERED. THIS IS THE MOST COMMON DEFECT LISTED; NOT TO MENTION THE MOST EXPENSIVE REPAIR. IF THIS DEFECT IS NOT WORTHY OF A RECALL, WE NEED TO RE-THINK THE "RECALL STANDARDS" AND PUT REALISTIC MEASURES INTO THE PROCESS. MY CAR DOOR SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPAIRED AND PAID FOR BY HONDA, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE I AM ONE IN ENOUGH WITH THE EXACT SAME DEFECTIVE CAR. WHEN I PURCHASED A BIG NAME COMPUTER AND REALIZED THERE WAS A DEFECT IN THE SYSTEM, IT WAS REPAIRED WITH NO CHARGE TO ME. THE COMPANY I AM EMPLOYED BY WILL TAKE FULL FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR A DEFECT IN A PRODUCT WE HAVE ISSUED. IF WE IGNORED ISSUES SUCH AS MINE WITH MY HONDA ACCORD, WE WOULD NOT BE THE MAGNIFICENT COMPANY THAT WE ARE. WHEN THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WAS PERMANENTLY SHUT, I HAD NO WAY OF ENTRY OTHER THAN THE DOOR MY PASSENGERS/CLIENTS USED. ENTERING AND EXITING MY VEHICLE WAS AN OBSCENITY AS I WOULD TRY MY HARDEST TO REMAIN THE PROFESSIONAL FEMALE THAT I AM. I WAS ALWAYS IN FEAR THAT A CAR WOULD PLOW INTO THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE LEAVING ME TRAPPED IN WHATEVER EMERGENCY WOULD ARISE. PLEASE EXAMINE THIS DEFECT AND DEMAND A RECALL TO PREVENT FUTURE DISASTERS AND TO ASSURE THE SAFETY OF HONDA ACCORD DRIVERS. *LA

STRUCTURE:BODY
FALLING ACORNS HAVE LEFT MANY POCK MARKS ON THE BODY OF MY 2003 ACCORD. MY OTHER CAR IS PARKED IN THE SAME AREA WITH NO DAMAGE. THE METAL ON THE 2003 ACCORD FEELS SIGNIFICANTLY WEAKER TO THE TOUCH THAN THE BODY OF MY OTHER CARS. THIS CAR LOOKS LIKE IT WAS PELTED WITH HAIL STONES. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT A CAR SHOULD WITHSTAND THE IMPACT OF AN ACORN! *LA

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
WARPED BRAKE ROTORS. BRAKE ROTORS ON MY 2003 ACCORD EX V-6 WARPED AT ABOUT 5,000 MILES. I WAS UNAWARE OF THIS WEBSITE AT THE TIME (ABOUT AUGUST 2003). THE DEALER RESURFACED THE ROTORS BUT BLAMED ME FOR DRIVING TOO FAST ON MOUNTAINOUS ROADS... SEEMED A BIT RUDE AND PRESUMPTUOUS ON THEIR PART SINCE I DON'T DRIVE FASTER THAN NORMAL TRAFFIC NOR ON MOUNTAIN ROADS. THE ROTORS STARTED EXHIBITING WARPING AGAIN AT ABOUT 9,000 MILES. THIS SEEMS LIKE A COMMON COMPLAINT AND I SUSPECT IT MAY BE DUE TO POOR SELECTION OF MATERIAL OR DESIGN OF THE ROTORS OR BRAKE SYSTEM. *LA
