SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
WHEN STARTING THE CAR, THEN PUTTING THE CAR INTO REVERSE, THE POWER BRAKES FEEL DEAD. THERE IS ALMOST NO "PLAY" IN THE BRAKE PEDAL, CAUSING THE CAR TO CONTINUE ROLLING. BRAKE PEDAL DOES NOT GO DOWN AND CAR CONTINUES TO GO INTO REVERSE UNTIL I PUMP THE BRAKES SEVERAL TIMES.*AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
CAR LUNGES FORWARD AT STOPS WHILE BRAKE IS DEPRESSED. TRANSMISSION IS DELAYED WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK TO R OR D, SLIPPING WHEN ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED AND FINALLY SHIFTING WITH A JERK. SLIPS WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, ENGAGING WITH A HARD JERK AND SLIPS AGAIN WHEN SHIFTING FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR. ON HARD ACCELERATION, TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS HARD AND ENGINE REVS, CAR FEELS OUT OF CONTROL. NOTIFIED DEALER OF PROBLEMS AT 65,000 MILES AND WAS ADVISED TRANSMISSION IS BAD AND NEEDS REPLACING AT A COST OF $5,000. HONDA DOES NOT ALLOW DEALER TO REBUILD. DEALER IS REQUIRED TO RETURN ENTIRE ASSEMBLY TO HONDA. HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS CONTACTED. I AM STILL WAITING FOR A REPLY. HONDA'S REPUTATION WAS BUILT ON RELIABILITY. THEY SHOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. *LA

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
1999 HONDA ACCORD V-6 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 51,000 MILES. THIS APPEARS TO BE COMMON FOR THIS MODEL CAR. I BELIEVE HONDA SHOULD ORDER A RECALL FOR THIS TRANSMISSION OR OFFER TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY FROM THE CURRENT 36,000 MILES. *LA

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
OUR AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION BEGAN ACTING UP BY "LURCHING" WHEN WE CAME TO A ROLLING STOP. WE HAD THE CAR CHECKED BY OUR TWO REGULAR MECHANICS AND THEY SUGGESTED WE TAKE IT BACK TO ELLENA HONDA HERE IN LAWRENCE WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED SINCE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. HONDA CHECKED IT AND SAID THEY WOULD REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. THIS IS TO BE DONE NEXT MONDAY. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED SINCE I THOUGHT HONDA WAS A BRAND THAT COULD BE TRUSTED. *LA

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
THE ABS SYSTEM SEEMED TO "OVER REACTED" DURING A PANIC STOP SITUATION, CAUSING ME TO HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. IT FELT LIKE THE BRAKING PRESSURE WAS BEING SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED EVEN THOUGH I HAD MY FOOT TO THE FLOOR ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. I FEEL THAT IF THE ABS SYSTEM HAD NOT ENGAGED AND BACKED OFF THE BRAKES, I WOULD HAVE STOPPED IN TIME. ALSO, ONLY THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WENT OFF, EVEN THOUGH I HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AT LESS THAN 5 MPH. IT SHOULD NOT HAVE GONE OFF, BUT IF IT "THOUGHT" THAT IT WAS A SEVERE CRASH, WHY DIDN'T MY AIRBAG GO OFF? I WOULD LIKE FOR YOU TO CHECK THE ABS SYSTEM TO INSURE THAT THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE. PLEASE CONTACT ME ASAP TO LET ME KNOW IF THIS IS POSSIBLE. THANK YOU. *LA

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY 2001 HONDA ACCORD HAD A TRANSMISSION FAILURE IN OCTOBER 2002. THE DEALERSHIP PUT IN A REBUILT TRANSMISSION. IN SEPTEMBER 2003 THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AGAIN. HONDA PUT IN TWO MORE TRANSMISSIONS AND THEY BOTH FAILED IMMEDIATELY! HONDA THEN PUT IN A NEW COMPUTER MODULE AND THAT FAILED IMMEDIATELY TOO. HONDA IS NOT BEING VERY CUSTOMER SERVICE ORIENTED AND WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR FAULTY PRODUCT. WE ARE PURSUING THE LEMON LAW IN ORDER TO GET HONDA TO BUY BACK THIS FAULTY VEHICLE. *LA

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TRANSMISSION FAILED. STARTED BY MAKING CLICKING NOISES WHEN GOING FROM PARK TO DRIVE. TRANSMISSION EVENTUALLY WOULD NOT ENGAGED. GEARS SLIPPED SEVERELY ALL THE WHILE TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKING. I HAD TO KEEP PUTTING FLUID IN UNTIL I HAD TO REPLACE THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION. I REPLACED IT WITH A SALVAGE 98 TRANSMISSION ONLY TO START HAVING PROBLEMS AGAIN.
