STRUCTURE
2003 HONDA ACCORD COUPE HAS DEVELOPED LOOSE WINDSHIELD NOISES (POP AND CLICKS) WHEN SUSPENSION IS FLEXED OR CHALLENGED BY ROAD UNEVENESS. THE CAR ONLY HAS 1000 MILES ON IT AND THE COLD WEATHER BROUGHT OUT THE NOISES. I CONSIDER THIS A SERIOUS STRUCTURAL DEFECT AND SOMEONE SHOULD INVESTIGATE THIS. THE CAR IS NOT WELDED TOGETHER WELL AT ALL.

THERE WAS A RECENT RECALL OF HONDA AUTOS FOR MALFUNCTIONING IGNITION SWITCH THAT ALLOWS REMOVAL OF KEY WHILE NOT IN PARK. I HAVE A 2000 ACCORD SE WITH THAT PROBLEM, BUT THE 2000'S WERE NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. IT SHOULD BE. THANKS. *LA

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH
MY 2001 HONDA ACCORD 2 DOOR COUPE EX V-6 IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE NEWLY ANNOUNCED RECALL. THE CAR CAN BE TURNED OFF AND THE IGNITION KEY REMOVED WHILE THE SHIFT LEVER IS IN DRIVE. MY WIFE DID REMOVE TURN OFF THE IGNITION AND REMOVE THE KEY WHILE THE CAR WAS IN DRIVE. SHE THEN LOCKED THE CAR AND WENT INTO THE HOUSE. A FEW MOMENTS LATER I ARRIVED HOME AND THE CAR HAD ROLLED OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY AND ACROSS THE STREET AND HAD COME TO REST WITH BOTH REAR TIRES UP AGAINST THE CURB. IT IS JUST LUCKY THERE WAS NO CAR PARKED WHERE THIS CAR CAME TO REST. IT IS JUST AS LUCKY THERE WERE NO CARS COMING BY WHEN THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED AS WE LIVE ON A VERY BUSY STREET. *LA

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
RE: HONDA BALANCER SHAFT DEFECTIVE OIL SEAL AND BLOWOUT PROBLEM. I RECENTLY AND SUDDENLY EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM WITH 94 HONDA ACCORD. MY FAMILY AND I HAD BEEN ON A TRIP TO L.A. AND BACK ON SEVERAL FREEWAYS, THE SEAL BLEWOUT AND THE OIL WAS DRAINED WITHIN MINUTES. IT COULD HAVE CAUSED THE ENGINE TO FREEZE UP AND CREATED A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. I CALLED HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE, THEY HAD A VERY INDIFFERENT ATTITUDE, THEY SAID THEY MADE A PUBLIC OFFER TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM BUT THAT OFFER HAS NOW "EXPIRED". "IT WASN'T OFFICALLY A RECALL SO WE DON'T HAVE TO FIX ANYTHING". "IT WASN'T OFFICALLY PEGGED AS A SAFETY ISSUE, SO NO RECALL WAS IMPOSED." TRUST ME, LOSING YOUR OIL SUDDENLY AT HIGH SPEEDS CAN VERY EASILY BECOME A' SAFETY ' ISSUE! I WOULD LIKE TO ASK THE N.H.T.S.A. TO RECONSIDER THE PROBLEM AND MAKE IT A RECALL ! LET'S TAKE THE INDIFFERENT ATTITUDE AWAY FROM SMUGG AUTOMAKERS THAT ARE VERY AWARE OF "SAFETY" PROBLEMS, THEY KNOW THAT THEY HAVE DEFECTIVE PARTS THAT WERE NOT CORRECTED. A $5 RETAINER (THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE ) WOULD AVOID THIS PROBLEM! PLEASE ENFORCE A RECALL ON HONDA AND MAKE THEM RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR ERROR IN DESIGN. THANK YOU, TOM ROSS. *AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
CONCERNING MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD EX, VIN [XXX] THE KEY CAN BE REMOVED FROM THIS VEHICLE WHILE IT IS IN GEAR BUT I WAS TOLD BY MY DEALER THAT THIS VIN IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECENT HONDA IGNITION RECALL. THIS REALLY CONCERNS ME AND I'M WONDERING WHETHER THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED IN THE 2000 HONDA ACCORD. THIS IS A FIRST OFF THE LINE 2000 AND I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THERE CAN BE A CUT OFF LIKE THIS. I DO NOT KNOW AT WHAT MILEAGE THIS OCCURRED BECAUSE I HAVE NEVER ATTEMPTED TO REMOVE THE KEY UNLESS THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN PARK UNTIL YESTERDAY AFTER I HEARD ABOUT THE RECALL.*AK INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
