ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ALTERNATOR/GENERATOR/REGULATOR
DELPHI ALTERNATOR FAILED. FIRST NOTICED DUE TO NOISE COMING FROM ALTERNATOR. WITH NO DASH WARNING LIGHTS ON, VOLTAGE MEASURED AS LOW AS ~8 VOLTS, AND ENGINE THEN STALLED COMPLETELY WHEN HIGH BEAM LIGHTS WERE SWITCHED ON. CONFIRMED WIRING GOOD, REMOVED DISCHARGED BATTERY, RECHARGED BATTERY, BATTERY CONDITION LOAD-TESTED GOOD, AND WARNING LIGHT FINALLY CAME ON ONLY AFTER RUNNING ENGINE AT IDLE AND THEN ~3000RPM FOR ~5 MINUTES. VOLTAGE MONITORING CONFIRMED ONLY BATTERY VOLTAGE HAD BEEN PRESENT LONG BEFORE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. ALTERNATOR SHOULD NOT HAVE FAILED THIS SOON, BUT NOT HAVING AN IMMEDIATE WARNING INDICATION THAT CHARGING SYSTEM HAS FAILED IS A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION. (LUCKILY THE CAR STALLED IN MY GARAGE, NOT MINUTES BEFORE IN MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC.*AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I PURCHASED MY 1999 HONDA ACCORD EX-VL 3.0L V6... MAY 1999. THERE HAS BEEN A SLIGHT JERK WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED GEARS FROM DAY ONE. HONDA SAYS THIS IS NORMAL. WELL SEVERAL MONTHS AGO IT STARTED TO GET WORSE AND THE TRANSMISSION STARTED LEAKING FLUID AT THE LEFT CV BOOT. I TOOK IT INTO THE HONDA DEALER AND I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS A ROLLER BEARING THAT IS WEARING OUT PREMATURELY CAUSING A SLIGHT VIBRATION THAT CAUSES THE SEAL TO LEAK. THEY SAID I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION AND IT WOULD COST $5,500 ++ TO REPLACE BECAUSE IT WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. (3 YEARS OR 30K MILES) I HAVE OWNED A HONDA FOR 17 YEARS. I HAVE A 1986 WITH OVER 250,000 MILES AND STILL GOING STRONG. I PURCHASED THIS 1999 BASED ON THE HONDAS PAST HISTORY OF QUALITY. THIS MAY BE THE END OF HONDA OWNERSHIP FOR ME IF THEY DON'T REPLACE THIS DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION.I HAVE SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND WAS OVERWHELMED AT SO MANY 1999 HONDA ACCORDS THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I THINK HONDA SHOULD REPLACE ALL OF THEIR DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION AND SAVE THERE GOOD NAME. HONDA SHOULD EXTEND THE 1999 HONDA ACCORD WARRANTY TO 7 YEARS OR100K TO COVER THERE DEFECTIVE PRODUCT!HEY DID EXTENDED THE 2000-2001... BUT NOT THE 1999 ??? WHY... IT'S THE VERY SAME TRANSMISSION! *AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
AFTER MULTIPLE SERVICE VISITS, TEST DRIVES AND COMPLAINTS TO HONDA AMERICA AND MY HONDA DEALER, MY 03 ACCORD EX V6 COUPE'S WHINING TRANSMISSION WAS DETERMINED TO BE "NORMAL." ON MY FIRST DRIVE ON A FREEWAY AFTER PICKING UP MY CAR, MY HONDA FAILED TO ACCELERATE PAST 50 MPH AND THE TACHOMETER RED LINED, I RELEASED THE GAS PEDAL AND THE CAR'S TRANSMISSION JUMPED INTO 1ST OR 2ND GEAR WITHOUT WARNING. I WAS ALMOST HIT BY A CAR BEHIND ME THAT DIDN'T HAVE ANY WARNING OF MY SUDDEN DECELERATION. IT TOOK A NEAR ACCIDENT FOR HONDA TO FINALLY REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION. *LA

EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER
A VERY SMALL PEBBLE (QUARTER OF THE SIZE OF A DIME) IN FORM OF ROAD DEBRIS, PUNCTURED THE AIR CONDITIONER (AC) CONDENSER. HONDA SAID THAT THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIRS UNDER WARRANTY. THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT OTHER PEOPLE ALSO HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. HONDA NEEDS TO DESIGN A SHIELD FOR THE CONDENSER OR BUILD STRONGER CONDENSERS. COST OF REPAIRS WAS ALMOST $500!! THE CAR IS ALMOST BRAND NEW, ONLY 7500 MILES. *LA
