STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
BOTH FRONT AND REAR AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS DO NOT OPERATE. THIS MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO LOCK DOORS OR, ONCE LOCKED, TO UNLOCK DOORS. COULD PRESENT PROBLEM IN AN EMERGENCY. MY INDEPENDENT MECHANIC HAS NOTICED HIGH FREQUENCY OF SIMILAR FAILURES AND SAID SUCH PROBLEM SHOULD NOT EXIST ON CAR SO NEW WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE.*AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
THE CAM CHAIN TENSIONER HAS FAILED TWICE AND IS SCHEDULED TO BE WORKED ON A THIRD TIME. NO ACCIDENT (THANKFULLY) HAS HAPPENED YET. THE MECHANIC AT THE SHOP SAYS IT IS VERY POSSIBLE FOR THE CAM CHAIN TO 'JUMP TIME'. IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN AT SAY 55MPH THE REAR TIRE OF THE MOTORCYCLE WOULD PROBABLY LOCK UP AND THEREFORE CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY TO THE RIDER. I HAVE SPOKEN TO NUMEROUS OWNERS OF THIS MOTORCYCLE AND THERE SEEMS TO BE SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. HONDA NEED TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED BECAUSE OF AN APPARENT DESIGN FLAW.*AK

AIR BAGS
SRS DASH BOARD LIGHT IS 'ON' AND WILL NOT TURN-OFF. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED. THE F DEALER REPAIRED IT FOR FREE BECAUSE THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRENTY. WHEN I APPROACHED THE DEALER ABOUT THE SECOND FAILURE I WAS TOLD THAT THEY ONLY WARRENTY THE REPAIR FOR ONE YEAR - THIS FAILURE OCCURRED AFTER THE ONE YEAR WARRENTY EXPIRED. GIVEN THE NUMBER OF REGISTERED COMPLAINTS WITH NHTSA ABOUT THIS PROBLEM HONDA SHOULD BE FORCED TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM FREE OF CHARGE. *AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
I BOUGHT MY 1996 HONDA ACCORD EX ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON, BUT THAT IT WAS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT THAT IT HAD BEEN CHECKED OUT AND NOTHING WAS WRONG. I DID SOME SEARCHING ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND OUT THAT I WASN'T THE ONLY ONE WHO HAD AN ABS LIGHT PROBLEM. I TALKED TO MY HONDA DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE WORST CASE SCENARIO WAS AN ABS MODULATOR THAT WOULD COST 1,200+. WHEN I START MY CAR IT MAKES A FUNNY NOISE FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS AND THEN MY ABS LIGHT COMES ON AND THE NOISE STOPS. I WASN'T CONCERNED AT FIRST , BUT I FOUND OUT THAT I COULD CONTACT NHTSA AND SOME ACTION COULD BE TAKEN. IF MY ABS SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK AND I SLAM ON MY BRAKES AND THEY LOCK UP AND I HIT SOMEONE THEN I AM AT FAULT , BUT I COULD NOT HELP HITTING THEM IF MY BRAKES ARE LOCKED UP AND I AM STILL GOING. THIS COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR MAYBE EVEN DEATH. I DO NOT HAVE 1,200+ TO FIX THIS. THE HONDA CO. SHOULDN'T HAVE USED FAULTY PARTS. COULD YOU PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AND LET ME KNOW SOMETHING. A GOOD PLACE TO GO TO FIND OUT INFORMATION ON ABS MODUALTORS IS YAHOO.COM. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THIS IS DONE CASE-BY-CASE. HERE IS A CASE NUMBER THAT I ATTAINED OFF OF THE INTERNET. : (301).990.2000. I HOPE THIS HELPS. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO MY COMPLAINT.*AK

SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:UPPER BALL JOINT
PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. I THINK THERE MAY BE A PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES I AM A LOCAL MECHANIC AND I HAVE SEEN THIS MANY TIMES ON MOST ACCORDS THAT HAVE BEEN DRIVEN DOWN FROM THE NORTH. I PURCHASED MY ACCORD USED AND SURE ENOUGH I HAVE COMPONET FAILURE. MY ACCORD WAS ORIGNALY PURCHASSED IN WEST VIRGINA. THE COMPONET THAT FAILES IS THE RIGHT OR LEFT REAR UPPER BALL JOINT THAT IS POSITIONED ON THE UPPER LINK THAT HOLDES THE UPPER SUPPORT FOR THE HUB, IT SEEMS THIS IS A COMPONET THAT FAILES ONLY WHEN EXPOSED TO NORTHERN WEATHER CONDITIONS, IF ANY ADDIONAL INFORMATION IS NEED PLEASE SEND E-MAIL OR FEEL FREE TO CALL ME AT MY WORK PHONE NUMBER, I HAVE NOT REPAIRED THIS CONDITION YET HOWEVER IF I DO I WILL SAVE ALL FAILED COMPONETS, THANKYOU FOR YOU TIME, IF THIS CONCERN IS NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY AND HAS BEEN INVETAGATED PLEASE RESPOND, THANKS AGAIN, TYLER FAHLMAN. *AK
