ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH
I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM HONDA DATED "SUMMER 2002" TO REPLACE AN IGNITION SWITCH ON MY 1998 ACCORD. WITHIN 24 HOURS I CALLED THE DEALER FROM WHOM I PURCHASED THE CAR, SCHALLER HONDA OF NEW BRITAIN, CONN. I LEFT A DETAILED MESSAGE WITH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. NOT HEARING ANY KIND OF RESPONSE FROM THE DEALER EVEN AFTER A REPEAT TELEPHONE CALL, I WAITED MORE THAN 60 DAYS (MORE LIKE 120 DAYS) TO CALL THE AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE. THIS WAS ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO, AND AGAIN I HAVE RECEIVED NO RESPONSE. THUS THIS COMPLAINT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY HONDA CAR SOUND SYSTEM HAS A WHINING NOISE FROM THE SPEAKERS WHEN PASSING THROUGH CERTAIN AREAS OR WHEN THE CELL PHONE RINGS. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER TWICE AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS NORMAL. I CAN UNDERSTAND IF IT HAPPENS TO THE RADIO ONLY BUT IT HAPPENS ALSO WHEN THE CD PLAYER IS RUNNING.

ADDITIONALLY CARS ITERMITTENT WIPER SYSTEM IS NO LONGER FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. SPOKE WITH HONDA CORPORATE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS ADVISED THAT EACH INDIVIDUAL DEALER ASSUMES RESPONSIBILITY FOR CAR ALARM ISSUES RELATED TO THE RECALL.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE AUTO TRANSMISSION HAS PROBLEM WITH 1ST AND 2ND GEAR. WHEN CAR MOVES SLOWLY AT 20 MILES OR LESS, A ROUGH DOWN SHIFT STARTS FROM THE 2ND GEAR TO 1ST GEAR THAT MAKES CAR JERKING. TOOK IT BACK TO A HONDA DEALER FOR A CHECK BUT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM STILL RANDOMLY SHOWS UP WHEN CAR IS DRIVEN IN THE 25 MILES/H ZONE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:HORN
THE HORN SOMETIMES WORKS AND SOMETIMES DOES NOT. WE HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER 12 TIMES PRIOR AND EACH TIME THEY WERE ABLE TO MAKE IT WORK BUT THERE HAS BEEN THREE CLOSE CALLS WHERE THE HORN DID NOT WORK AND A CAR BACKING ALMOST HIT MY CAR. WE HAD TO YELL TO MAKE THE OTHER CAR STOP! TODAY 12/11/02 WE HAD YET ANOTHER VERY CLOSE CALL AND THE DEALER FINALLY WAS ABLE TO SEE THERE IS A FAULT AS THE HORN DID NOT FUNCTION WHEN THE WHEEL IS TURNED. THEY SAID THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND MAY COST OVER $250 TO FIX! PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THIS IS A SAFETY ITEM AND SHOULD BE FIXED FREE BY THE MANUFACTURER. THANKS VERY MUCH!

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE TRANSMISSON SHIFTS HARD. SOMETIMES IT EVEN SLIPS. IT STARTED DOING IT FEW MONTHS AGO. RIGHT KNOW MY CAR HAS ABOUT 80000 MILES ON IT. HONDA HAS A RECALL ON 2000 BUT SINCE IT IS A 1999 THEY ARE MAKING A EXCUSS. MY OLDER 91 ACCORD WAS PERFECT TILL 250,000 MILES . I GUESS WITH THIS KINDA QUALITY THIS WILL BE MY LAST HONDA EVER.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
THE KEY OF THE CAR CAN BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH WITHOUT FIRST PLACING THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK. THIS MAKES IT POSSIBLE FOR THE DRIVER TO LEAVE THE CAR WITH THE KEY WITHOUT FIRST LOCKING THE TRANSMISSION. THIS IS NOT A ONE-TIME EVENT BUT CAN BE DONE AT ANY TIME.

HONDA HAS A WARRANTY REPLACEMENT ON 2000/2001 MODELS AND NOT ON THE 1999 MODEL. THIS IS THE SAME ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION ON THE 2000 AND 2001 MODEL. THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING FOR THE 1999. WHAT CAN NHTSA DO? DT
