EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
THE FRONT HEADLIGHTS DO NOT PROVIDE ENOUGH LIGHT TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT. THE PROBLEM MAKES TURNING TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT ON DARK OR POORLY LIGHT ROADS VERY DIFFICULT AS WELL AS BEING ABLE TO SEE PEOPLE AND OBJECTS TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT ON ROADS AT NIGHT. SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE AUTO, I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER TO CHECK THE FRONT HEADLIGHTS. THE DEALER SAID THE HEADLIGHTS WERE PROPERLY ALIGNED. I THEN TOOK THE AUTO TO A SERVICE STATION THAT ALSO DOES VIRGINIA SAFETY INSPECTIONS TO CHECK ONLY THE HEADLIGHTS. THE SERVICE STATION TECHNICIAN SAID THE HEADLIGHTS WERE PROPERLY ALIGNED. THE HEADLIGHTS DID NOT AND DO NOT PROVIDE SUFFICIENT LIGHT TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT OF THE AUTO!!! *JB

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
IN THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY I BOUGHT A HONDA ACCORD, EVERYTHING WAS FINE UNTIL THE END OF MAY WHEN I NOTICED A CLICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR EVERY TIME THE CAR STOPS, I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT IT AND AFTER A FEW HOURS, I WAS TOLD THAT THE CLICKING OF THE CAR IS CHARACTERISTIC OF THIS CAR, I TOLD THEM THAT IT DIDN'T HAVE IT WHEN I BOUGHT, THEN I WAS GIVEN A PRINT OUT WHERE HONDA TALKS ABOUT THE "CLICKING OR TICKING AT IDLE" FOR THIS TYPE OF CAR, I HAVE ASKED OTHER PERSON WITH THE SAME TYPE OF CAR AND HE DOESN'T HAVE THIS NOISE, I HAVE TAKEN IT TO ANOTHER DEALER UNDER HONDA'S CUSTOMER SERVICE REQUEST AND THE DEALER SAID THAT ALL CARS HAVE THAT NOISE, I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT NONE OF MY PREVIOUS CARS HAD THAT NOISE. SINCE THIS IS NOT CONSIDER A DEFECT OR A PROBLEM BY HONDA, THEY OFFERED ME A FREE OIL CHANGE AS A "GOOD WILL". THIS CAR IS COSTING ME OVER $27,000, HONDA CAN CALL THIS NOISE ANYWAY THEY WANT, BUT I DID NOT BUY A CAR TO HAVE SOME NOISE AFTER ONLY 4 MONTHS OF HAVING THE CAR, THEY ALSO ADMIT IS A PROBLEM IN THE BULLETIN WHEN THEY SAY "CHARACTERISTIC PROBLEM", THE HONEST THING FROM HONDA SINCE THEY KNEW THIS SINCE DECEMBER 2002 AND I BOUGHT THE CAR IN FEBRUARY 2003, SHOULD HAVE BEEN TO INFORM ME ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF HAVING THIS NOISE IN THE CAR, AND I WOULD HAVE MADE THE DECISION OF NOT BUYING THE CAR, I HAVE BEEN TO TWO DEALERS, CALLED HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE 3 TIMES AND I HAVE ONLY BEEN OFFERED A FREE OIL CHANGE, I HOPE THIS AGENCY CAN HELP ME TO DEAL WITH HONDA, I KNOW THIS MAY NOT BE A SAFETY ISSUE BUT I DON'T THINK HONDA SHOULD GET AWAY WITH HIDING INFORMATION FROM POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS AND THEN WHEN THEY GET CALLED JUST ACT LIKE THERE IS NO PROBLEM. THANKS, ML I ONLY SEE REPORT DEFECTIVE EQUIPMENT THAT WAS INCLUDED WITH THE VEHICLE AT TIME OF PURCHASE BUT THIS NOISE WASN'T THERE WHEN I PURCHASE THE CAR. *NLM

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
ENGINE WILL NOT START (EVEN TURN OVER) WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IN THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR GETS TOO HOT. THIS OCCURS ON ALL HOT DAYS. I CURRENTLY HAVE TO LEAVE ALL THE WINDOWS COMPLETELY DOWN, THE SUNROOF CRACKED (HOT AIR RISES), AND MY SILVER SUNSHADE ON THE OUTSIDE OF MY WINDSHIELD SO THAT NO SUN CAN EVEN PENETRATE THE WINDSHIELD GLASS. IF I DON'T DO THIS, I WILL BE STUCK WHERE EVER I'M PARKED UNTIL SUN DOWN. IF CAR WON'T START, I HAVE TO OPEN ALL DOORS INCLUDING HATCHBACK AND WAIT FOR INTERIOR CABIN TEMPERATURE TO COOL DOWN. *JB
