SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:POWER ADJUST, SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR
I HAVE A 1998 HONDA ACCORD 4-DOOR. SOMETIMES THE SEAT BELT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOES NOT RECOIL WHEN I REMOVE IT. I GETS HUNG UP IN THE SWITCH THAT MOVES THE SEAT BACK. ON THE DATE BELOW, I HAD MY SON IN A FORWARD FACING CAR SEAT IN THE MIDDLE REAR SEAR. I PARKED AND UNCLIPPED MY SEAT BELT AND OPENED THE TRUNK. I GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND SHUT THE DOOR BUT DIDN'T REALIZE THAT THE SEAT BELT WAS PUSHING AGAINST THE SEAT BACK SWITCH AND LOWERED THE SEAT BACK ALL THE WAY DOWN. IT CAUGHT MY SON'S FOOT BETWEEN HIS CAR SEAT AND THE SEAT BACK. HE WAS NOT SERIOUSLY HURT, BUT THIS COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE. IT ONLY TOOK THE TIME FROM ME TO GET OUT OF THE CAR AND GO TO THE TRUNK TO RETRIEVE HIS STROLLER FOR THIS TO HAPPEN.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
ON 9/19/02, I WAS LEAVING A STORE WHEN MY CAR STARTED TO MAKE A RATTLING SOUND. I THEN LOST POWER STEERING, ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE CAR STALLED. I POPPED THE HOOD TO FIND THAT ALL OF THE ENGINE BELTS HAD BEEN THROWN. AFTER TWO DAYS AT THE DEALERSHIP, I WAS ADVISED THE CRANK BOLT (KEY WAY AND CRANKSHAFT PULLEY) HAD FAILED. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP (DON CARLTON, TULSA, OK) COULD OFFER NO EXPLANATION AS TO WHY IT HAPPENED, ONLY THAT I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. MY REPAIR BILL WAS $536.61. I ALSO INCURRED A $57.34 TOW BILL TO GET THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
VEHICLE WAS LEAKING TRANSMISSION FLUID INITIALLY. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP. FIRST TIME DEALERSHIP SENT US HOME WITH A REALLY BAD TRANSMISSION LEAK FOR WEEKEND. INFORMED US NOT TO DRIVE MORE THAN 200 MILES. WE INFORMED THEM WE LIVE 60 MILES AWAY AND WOULD NEED TO GET HOME AND BACK TO DEALERSHIP ON MONDAY. NO RENTAL CAR WAS OFFERED. WHEN TAKEN BACK TO DEALER FOR REPAIRS THEY REPLACED DIFFERENTIAL. TWO WEEKS LATER WE NOTICED LEAKING AGAIN AND THE CAR WA SHIFTING FUNNY. WE TOOK THE CAR IN FOR REPAIRS. THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION. WE APPROACHED BOTH THE MANUFACTURER AND THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE TRANSMISSION, BOTH REFUSED. ABOUT A YEAR LATER I RECEIVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL REGARDING A WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR THE TRANSMISSION FOR ALL 2001 HONDA ACCORDS. APPARENTLY I WAS NOT THE ONLY CONSUMER WHO WAS SOLD A LEMON.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE:BELTS AND ASSOCIATED PULLEYS
RE: 1999 HONDA ACCORD LX (VIN: [XXX]) WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA AT 25-30 MPH (APPROX), THE ENGINE STARTED MAKING CLANKING NOISE AND ENGINE DIED. SHE LET IT ROLLED, PULLED OVER AND PARKED ON THE SIDE OF THE STREET. WE DISCOVERED THAT THE MAIN PULLEY BROKE LOOSE AND THE DRIVE BELTS CAME OFF THE ROLLERS DUE TO A BROKEN (SHEARED OFF) BOLT THAT ATTACHED THE PULLEY TO THE CRANKSHAFT. THE CAR HAS ONLY 61K MILES ON IT AND I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS TOTALLY PREMATURE. THE BALL HONDA SERVICE REP TOLD US THAT HONDA MOTORS CO. WILL NOT COVER FOR THE REPAIR SINCE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED, BUT THIS IS TOTALLY PREMATURE I THOUGHT, AND MAYBE IT WAS CAUSED BY INFERIOR MATERIAL (BOLT) AND/OR BY POOR QUALITY WORKMANSHIP (OVER-TORQUE'D). THE CAR HAS HAD REGULAR MAINTENANCE SERVICE BY HONDA DEALER AND HAS NO PREVIOUS ENGINE WORK DONE EXCEPT FOR THE MFR RECOMMENDED REGULARLY-SCHEDULED SERVICES. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY 2003 HONDA ACCORD EXPERIENCED AN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION WHILE IN MOTION. I INCREASED SPEED FROM 40 MPH TO 50MPH TO PASS A SLOWER MOVING VEHICLE IN MY LANE AND EXPERIENCED A SURGE OF POWER THAT I COULD NOT CONTROL BY TAKING MY FOOT OFF THE GAS. I NEEDED TO BRAKE TO RESTRAIN THE VEHICLE. THE TACHOMETER WENT TO 6000 RPM AND STAYED STEADY THE ENTIRE TIME PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AS I PREPARED TO KILL THE IGNITION RETURNED CONTROL AND THE VEHICLE RESUMED RESPONDING. I HAVE RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND AM GETTING A RESPONSE FROM THE DEALER THAT THEY HAVE FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. I AM A 47 Y/O MALE WITH 30 YEARS DRIVING EXPERIENCE AND AM QUITE SURE OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES. CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT ENGAGED AS I WAS IN MORNING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC I HAVE OPENED A PROBLEM TICKET WITH HONDA N0112-17-00080. THANK YOU

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM
THE GAS PEDAL STICKS RANDOMLY, CAUSING UNWANTED RAPID ACCELERATION. HAPPENS ANYTIME, ANYWHERE WITHOUT WARNING. I HAVE COME VERY CLOSE TO HITTING MANY CARS IN PARKING LOTS AND WHILE DRIVING IN STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC. I FIRST NOTICED IT A COUPLE MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR, BUT THE DEALER SERVICE REP TOLD ME IT WOULD GO AWAY IN TIME. A YEAR LATER, I WAS STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAD MOVED BY THEN SO I CONTACTED A DIFFERENT DEALER, WEIR CANYON HONDA IN ANAHEIM HILLS, AND I HAD TO FIGHT WITH THE GUY AT SERVICE TO REPAIR IT UNDER WARRANTY. AFTER GETTING THE RECEIPT, I NOTICED THAT THEY HAD ONLY COMPLETED ONE OF THREE PROCEDURES THAT THEY EXPLAINED TO ME AND TRIED TO CHARGE ME FOR. AS I DROVE OUT OF THE SERVICE CENTER, IT GOT STUCK AGAIN AND I ALMOST HIT ONE OF THEIR NEW CARS (IF I HAD, MAYBE THEY WOULD BELIEVE ME). I PUT UP WITH IT FOR A COUPLE MORE MONTHS AND FINALLY TOOK IT BACK AGAIN. THEY TOLD ME THERE WOULD BE A CHARGE, ALTHOUGH THEIR SERVICE IS UNDER WARRANTY FOR 12 MONTHS OR 12000 MILES. I EXPLAINED THAT THE SERVICE MANAGER WAS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND HAD PROMISED TO DO WHATEVER NECESSARY TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THEY GRUDGINGLY AGREED TO PERFORM ALL THREE STEPS OF THEIR NORMAL SERVICE FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT TOLD ME IT WAS JUST A 'ONE TIME COURTESY' AND THAT FUTURE PROBLEMS WOULD BE MY RESPONSIBILITY. THE SERVICE REP INSISTED THAT 'HONDA DOES NOT MAKE PARTS THAT CAUSE SUCH PROBLEMS' AND ACCUSED ME OF CAUSING THE PROBLEM BY THE WAY I DRIVE. I HAVE MY CAR BACK, BUT I'M WONDERING IF AND WHEN IT WILL START HAVING PROBLEMS AGAIN, AND IF SO, WHETHER THEY WILL HONOR THEIR SERVICE WARRANTY.
