FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM
I WAS RECENTLY DENIED ASSISTANCE IN THE REPAIR OF WHAT I CONSIDER A SAFETY CONCERN ON THE 1994 HONDA ACCORD. THE FUEL GAUGE MALFUNCTION IS A SAFETY RELATED CONCERN. I LEARNED THE BULLETIN PERTAINING TO THIS WASN'T RELEASED UNTIL 1995. WHEN THE DEALER WAS CALLED DURING THE FIRST MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP TO ASK IF THEY WERE AWARE OF ANY CONCERN WITH THE FUEL GAUGE NOT READING PROPERLY NATURALLY THEY SAID NO. BECAUSE OF THIS THE CAR WAS NEVER BOUGHT INTO A DEALER FOR REPAIR. HERE ARE EXCERPTS FROM MY LETTER TO HONDA: RE: VIN # [XXX] MY FIANC IS THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE. HER ACCORD NOW HAS ABOUT 150,000 MILES ON IT. WHEN MY FIANCE STARTED A NEW JOB AND BEGAN DRIVING THE ACCORD MORE FREQUENTLY(OVER 500 MILES/ WEEK) I INSPECTED THE VEHICLE. FOR THE MOST PART IT ONLY REQUIRED SOME MINOR MAINTENANCE. THE ONE ISSUE THAT I DID DISCOVER HOWEVER WAS THAT THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT READ FULL WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. I ASKED MY FIANC ABOUT IT AND SHE SAID THAT IT WAS LIKE THAT SINCE THE DAY SHE FIRST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I DECIDED TO FIND OUT IF THERE WERE ANY BULLETINS FROM HONDA TO ADDRESS THIS CONCERN. I LEARNED ABOUT BULLETIN NO. 95-013, WHICH SPECIFICALLY ADDRESSES THE FUEL GAUGE CONCERN. LAST WEEK I ASKED MY FIANC TO TAKE THE CAR TO A HONDA DEALER TO SEE IF THEY COULD PROVIDE SOME ASSISTANCE IN REPAIRING THIS CONCERN. THE BULLETIN EVEN MENTIONS THAT REPAIRS MIGHT BE ELIGIBLE FOR GOODWILL CONSIDERATION AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRATION. MY FIANC WAS DISAPPOINTED WHEN THE SERVICE ADVISOR BASICALLY BLEW HER OFF SAYING THAT WITH THE MILEAGE SHE HAD ON THE VEHICLE THERE WOULDN'T BE ANY ASSISTANCE. THE BULLETIN STATES IT'S AN ISSUE WITH THE ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE IN THE SENDING UNIT. TO ME THIS SAYS THAT IT WASNT WORKING RIGHT FROM THE BEGINNING WHEN THE CAR WAS FIRST PRODUCED. THE OWNERS OF THIS CAR SHOULD'VE BEEN ISSUED A RECALL NOTICE TO HAVE THIS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS CONCERN REPAIRED.*AK INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
I DROVE TO A RESTAURANT ABOUT ONE MILE FROM MY HOUSE AND PARKED NOSE-IN TO A CURB IN A PARKING LOT. I PLACED THE CAR IN FIRST GEAR, AS ALWAYS, AND ENGAGED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. AS I AND MY THREE COMPANIONS LEFT THE CAR, I CLICKED THE REMOTE KEYLESS LOCK, AS I USUALLY DO. AFTER DINNER, WE CAME OUT TO RETURN HOME. MY HUSBAND WAS TO DRIVE BACK, SO I AGAIN USED MY REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY CLICKER AND THE CAR UNLOCKED. MY HUSBAND HELD OPEN THE PASSENGER-SIDE FRONT DOOR FOR ME, AND I SAT IN THE FRONT SEAT, THE CLICKER IN MY HAND, BUT NO BUTTON ACTIVATED. BEFORE MY HUSBAND COULD SHUT THE DOOR, THE CAR STARTED (NOTE: NO KEY IN THE IGNITION), AND CLIMBED THE CURB IN FRONT. IT STALLED, THEN STARTED AGAIN AND CONTINUED UP AND OVER THE BUSHES IN FRONT. I WAS THE ONLY ONE IN THE CAR. THERE WAS NO KEY IN THE IGNITION. I WAS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE FRONT SEAT. THE CAR DOES NOT HAVE A REMOTE IGNITION. THE CAR IS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS STILL ON. THE FRONT BUMPER OF THE CAR SEPARATED AS WE BACKED OFF THE BUSH.*AK

STRUCTURE:BODY
THERE IS A CONSTANT POPPING NOISE THAT DEVELOPED AROUND 2500 MILES. THE NOISE OCCURS ONCE OR TWICE UPON ACCELERATION FROM A DEAD STOP AND WHILE BRAKING TO COME TO A DEAD STOP. THE NOISE APPEARS TO BE COMING FROM THE FIREWALL AREA UNDER THE DRIVERS SIDE FLOOR PAN. OTHER PEOPLE WITH THIS PROBLEM HAVE REPORTED THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH V6 ACCORDS AND THAT THE FIX IS TO RE-WELD SOME AREAS BETWEEN THE FIREWALL AND FLOOR PAN. MY DEALER IS NOT AWARE OF ANY SUCH FIX AND HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE HAS NO IDEA AS WELL. THE POPPING NOISE APPEARS TO BE CAUSED TO BODY FLEX IN AREAS THAT WERE NOT WELDED PROPERLY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
I'M HAVING PROBLEMS WITH BOTH THE IGNITION AND MY DOOR LOCKS. I TOOK MY VEHICLE BACK FOR THE RECALL, BUT I AM STILL HAVING PROBLEMS WITH STALLING, BUT MORESO WITH THE CAR ATTEMPTING TO TURN OFF. I GET FLICKERING OF ALL THE INDICATOR LIGHTS, AND IF I DO NOT HIT THE GAS PEDAL, THE CAR SHUTS OFF COMPLETELY. I ALSO HAVE AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH MY DOORS NOT LOCKING FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE. WHEN I HIT THE LOCK BUTTON, ALL DOORS LOCK EXCEPT MINE. MY ALARM SYSTEM (VIPER) HAS AN AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCK FEATURE BUT ALL THE DOORS EXCEPT THE DRIVER'S DOOR LOCKS. THESE PROBLEMS ARE ONGOING, SO IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO GIVE A CORRECT INCIDENT DATE, SO I'M GIVING THE DATE IT LAST HAPPENED.*AK
