VISIBILITY:GLASS, SIDE/REAR
I HAVE A 2003 HONDA ACCORD 4 DR EX PURCHASED IN JANUARY OF THIS YEAR. I HAVE A CONSTANT PROBLEM WITH THE FRONT SEAT DRIVER AND PASSENGER WINDOWS RATTLING OR TICKING. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN TWICE AND HAVE SCHEDULED IT FOR A THIRD TIME NEXT WEEK. THE DEALERSHIP DOES NOT SEEM TO BE ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY HAVE ADMITTED THAT OTHER CARS ON THEIR LOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM INCLUDING ONE DRIVEN BY A SALES MGR. THEY HAVE ALSO CALLED HONDA AMERICA BUT HAVE RECEIVED LITTLE IF ANY GUIDANCE ON HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I WILL COMMEND THE DEALERSHIP FOR THEIR EFFORTS TO FIX THE CAR BUT I WILL PURSUE THE LEMMON LAW IF THIS IS NOT FIXED.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAVE A 1999 HONDA ACCORD EXV6 THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING 3 MONTHS AGO. I CALLED MY DEALER AT THAT TIME BECAUSE I HAD RECEIVED A LETTER NOV 2001 FROM HONDA STATING THAT THERE WAS A WARRANY EXTENSION FOR EGR SYSTEM CLOGGING. THE SERVICE ADVISOR STATED THAT THIS WOULD NOT HELP MY CASE. NOW AT 70000 I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION.I BOUGHT THIS CAR AFTER OWNING A TOYOTA FOR 12 YEARS W/ NO PROBLEMS. TO SAY THE LEAST I AM DISGUSTED.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:PADS
BRAKES MAKE EXTREMELY LOUD GRINDING NOISE DURING FIRST FEW USES OF EACH DRIVE. THEY SEEM TO HAVE LESS GRIP DURING THE FIRST FEW STOPS AS WELL. DEALER STATES THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH NOISE INSULATOR PADS ON 2003 ACCORDS AND THAT HONDA HAS NO FIX AT THIS POINT. DEALER ADDED TEMPORARY COMPOSITE MATERIAL UNTIL HONDA DETERMINES PERMANENT FIX. CALLED HONDA CUSTOMER RELATIONS AND I AM WAITING FOR A RESPONSE. DEALER CLAIMS THERE IS NO SAFETY RISK. JB

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHEN THE CONSUMER STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR, NOTHING HAPPENED, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED OUT OF CONTROL. AFTER TAKING THE AUTO TO THE DEALER A NUMBER OF TIMES, THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED , BUT IT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THEN AFTER ANOTHER VISIT TO THE DEALER/MECHANIC, THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE, SINCE THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE CONSUMER WAS ADVISED, TO KEEP A RECORD OF THE MISHAPS AND PRESENT IT TO THE STATES ATTORNEY'S OFFICE. THEN ONE DAY HER HUSBAND WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE, AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN, KILLING HER HUSBAND IN AN AUTO COLLISION. THE CONSUMER STATED THERE WAS A RECALL IN EFFECT BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. *JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
1999 HONDA ACCORD EX V-6 TRANSMISSION FAILURE. I HAD BEEN NOTICING ACCELERATION PROBLEMS. I THOUGHT THE PROBLEM WAS WITH FUEL INJECTION. I WAS COMING BACK FROM A WEEKEND TRIP AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY FOR THE 75,000 MILE SERVICE. THEY SAID IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. THE NEXT DAY IT FAILED THE TRANSMISSION TEST. DEALER SAID IT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. I DO NOT DRIVE LONG DISTANCES AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THE CAR. *NLM

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
I HAVE JUST TRADED MY 2001 HONDA ACCORD LX MANUAL TRANSMISSION VIN#[XXX] BECAUSE OF A SEVERE IDLING PROBLEM. THE CAR HAD ONLY 12,000 MILES AND HAD ALL THE ROUTINE MAINTENANCE PERFORMED AS RECOMMENDED BY HONDA. IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. I HAVE OWNED A HONDA FOR OVER 20 YEARS AND HAVE DRIVEN A STICK SHIFT FOR ALMOST 20 YEARS. I AM VERY WELL AWARE OF THE PLACEMENT OF THE PEDALS. ALSO, THE FLOOR MAT WAS ATTACHED TO ITS PIN NEAR THE FRONT OF THE SEAT SO IT DID NOT IMPEDE MY USE OF THE PEDALS. I HAD THE IDLE GO ABSOLUTELY NUTS, ALMOST RED LINE, AFTER HAVING PARKED THE CAR FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME AND THEN RESTARTING THE CAR. THIS HAPPENED 3 TIMES OVER ABOUT 6 MONTHS. THE FIRST TWO TIMES, THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD. LUCKILY, NO ONE OR ANY PROPERTY WAS DAMAGED. I HAD BOTH CROWN HONDA OF CHAPEL HILL, NC AND FLOW HONDA OF WINSTON-SALEM, NC CHECK THE CAR OUT. IN FACT, FLOW HAD THE CAR 3 WEEKS AFTER THE 3RD INCIDENT. NEITHER DEALER SAID THEY FOUND A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR. I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR ALTHOUGH I NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH IT WHEN I WAS ACTUALLY DRIVING THE CAR. MY CONCERN IS THAT THIS CAR WILL BE SOLD TO SOMEONE WHO WILL NOT BE TOLD OF THE PROBLEM I HAVE EXPERIENCED. I FEEL THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS AND SOMEONE MAY HAVE AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED HONDA CORPORATE. I HOPE YOU WILL LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE INTERNET TO FIND IF ANYONE ELSE HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE NOT BEEN SUCCESSFUL. HONDA SAYS THEY HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS IS AN EASY OR HARD FIX. I DO BELIEVE THIS CAR HAS A MAJOR PROBLEM. THANK YOU. *NLM INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
