SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
2001 HONDA ACCORD LX V6 WITH ABS. BRAKE WENT BAD AT ABOUT 8500MILES, MASTER CYLINDER WAS REPLACE BY MATT CASTRUCCI HONDA COVERED BY WARRANTY. THE BRAKE FAILED AGAIN AT 20000 MILES 12/02. THERE WAS ALMOST NO BRAKE AT HIGHWAY SPEED. AND NEEDED TRIPLE THE DISTANCE TO STOP THE CAR AT RED LIGHT. AGAIN, IT WAS CHECKED AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER AND ABS MARGULATER HAD GONE BAD. IT WAS FIXED BY LOCAL MATT CASTRUCCI HONDA (937-439-7470) UNDER WARRANTY. WHO KNOWS IF IT IS REALLY FIXED OR NOT. I BOUGHT THE CAR PAID THOUSANDS EXTRA FOR SAFETY, NOW I AM A "TEST DRIVER" OF HONDA. TOTALLY DISAPOINTED.

SEATS
ON 12/24/02 I WAS REAR-ENDED BY A DODGE NEON TRAVELING ABOUT 25-30 MPH. I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AT THE TIME. MY CAR HONDA [VIN [XXX]] WAS TOTALED. DURING THE CRASH THE FRONT DRIVER SEAT FAILED. THE RESULT WAS I WAS THROWN FORWARD INTO THE STEERING COLUMN WITH GREAT FORCE. I SUFFERED MULTIPLE INJURIES BUT IN PARTICULAR I BROKE THREE RIBS ON THE LOWER RIGHT SIDE OF MY RIB CAGE . THERE IS NO QUESTION BUT THAT THE BROKEN SEAT CONTRIBUTED TO MY INJURIES. IT IS MY PRACTICE TO ALWAYS WEAR A SEAT BELT. BROKEN SEAT = BROKEN RIBS + CHEST TRAUMA ????

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:CARBURETOR SYSTEM
I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 4 CYLINDER, 2000 HONDA ACCORD, LX WITH 35000 MILES ON IT. THE NEXT DAY, I NOTICED THAT THE GAS PEDAL WAS NOT RESPONDING TO SLIGHT FOOT PRESSURE WHEN THE CAR WAS FIRST USED IN THE MORNING. IT SEEMED TO BE STICKING AND THEN SUDDENLY RESPOND TO FOOT PRESSURE. BECAUSE OF THIS CONDITION, THE CAR WOULD SUDDENLY LURCH FORWARD WHEN PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHO TOLD ME IT WAS AN INHERENT PROBLEM WITH THE 2000 ACCORD AND TOLD ME THERE WAS NO REMEDY OR RECALL FOR THE PROBLEM. THEY DIDN'T TELL ME THAT WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR. I THEN TOOK THE CAR TO A LOCAL AUTO SERVICE BUSINESS WHOM I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH FOR OVER 15 YEARS. THEY TOLD ME THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY A BUILD-UP OF CARBON ON THE ACCELLERATOR LINKAGE- ESPECIALLY IN THE 2000 HONDA. I HAD HIM CLEAN THE DEPOSIT ($60 PLUS $4.50 FOR CARBON SOLVENT) WHICH IMMEDIATELY REMEDIED THE STICKING. HE TOLD ME THAT IT SHOULD BE DONE EVERY 10K MILES OR WHEVER IT BECOMES STICKY AGAIN. I REALLY BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND HONDA SHOULD COME UP WITH A CORRECTION AND RECALL OF ALL 2000 ACCORDS THAT MAY BE AFFECTED. DO I HAVE ANY RECOURSE WITH HONDA? HAVE YOU RECEIVED ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS? ANY SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THANK YOU.
