LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
DRIVERS DOOR FAILED TO OPEN FROM OUTSIDE OR INSIDE. HAD TO CLIMB OVER STICK SHIFT TO GET OUT OF VEHICLE. WHEN CHECKING WITH LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID THEY FIX AN AVERAGE OF TWO A WEEK. WHILE I WAS ABLE TO CLIMB OUT, ELDERLY OR WEIGHT CHALLENGED WOULD HAVE A DIFFICULT TIME. HONDA HAS NOT CONSIDERED THIS A RECALL SITUATION. *AK

AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW
I WAS HIT IN THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR BY A MAROON FORD THAT RAN A STOP SIGN WHICH WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 40/45 MPH AT IMPACT. I CALLED THE DEALER, SPOKE TO A MAN THAT SAID THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THE SIDE AIR BAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED:I FAXED THEM ALL INFO FROM THE PURCHASE OF THE CAR & ASKED THEM TO PLEASE COME LOOK AT THE CAR; NO ONE CAME TO LOOK AT THE CAR. HONDA SAYS THEY HAVE NO INFORMATION AT ALL TO GIVE ME & THE DEALER SAYS NOW IT IS TOO LATE FOR ANY HELP FROM THEM. I HAVE PICTURES & THE INSURANCE AGENTS SAID BOTH BAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED AS WELL. THE DRIVER & PASSANGER DOOR TO INCLUDE THE FRONT PART OF THE FRAME BY THE TIRE HAD TO BE CUT OFF. I FEEL I HAVE BEEN TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF BECAUSE I AM A WOMAN & I AM FRIENDS WITH THE MANAGER OF THE DEALERSHIP. PLEASE HELP ME GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS. MY INSURANCE COMPANY IS USAA & THEY GAVE ME YOUR ADDRESS. THANK YOU. ANGELA SUGGS-BARTOS. *AK

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD
WHILE TRAVELING IN GERMANY (US ARMY) AT SAFE CRUISING SPEEDS AVERAGING 100 TO 115 MPH (NORMAL FOR GERMANY), THE BLACK TRIM AROUND THE WINDSHIELD CAME LOOSE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE FROM BOTTOM TO TOP AND WAS FLAPPING IN THE WIND. NOTICED THE PASSANGER SIDE TRIM WAS ALSO COMING LOOSE. DEPENDING UPON SPEED, IT WAS HITTING DRIVERS WINDOW. INCIDENT WAS SURPRISING AND COULD HAVE SHOCKED THE DRIVER INTO AN ACCIDENT. IT APPEARS THE TRIM WAS GLUED AND NOTCHED SO IT COULD NOT COME LOOSE BUT LEFT ENOUGH HANGING OVER THE PAINTED AREAS TO BE CAUGHT BY THE WIND. APPEARS TO HAVE FAILED. GOING TO SEE LOCAL DEALER TOMORROW FOR REPAIR. ALTHOUGH MY CAR WAS BOUGHT IN MD, AAFES SELLS THE SAME HONDA ACCORD HERE TO THE MILITARY. HAD TO USE DUCT TAPE AND REDUCE SPEED TO MAKE IT HOME WITHOUT FURTHER DAMAGE.*AK

ENGINE DIED WITHOUT ANY WARNING LIGHTS. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER. DEALER LOOKED AT IT AND COULD NOT FIND CAUSE OF PROBLEM. CONSUMER HAD THIS PROBLEM ABOUT 3 MORE TIMES. TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO DEALER, AND THEY SAID IGNITER NEEDED TO BE CHANGED. CONSUMER COULD NOT AFFORD, AND DISTRIBUTOR WAS CHANGED. BUT, PROBLEM STILL EXISTS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:STARTER ASSEMBLY
ON THURSDAY MAY 10, 2001 AROUND 12:05 PM, THE STARTER ON OUR 1995 HONDA ACCORD (@76,000 MILES) ENGAGED WHILE NO ONE OR THE KEY WAS IN THE CAR. MYSELF AND AT LEAST TWO OTHER PEOPLE WITNESSED THE CAR CLIMB A FOUR INCH CURB AND MOVE APPROXIMATELY 35 FT WITH THE PARKING BRAKE APPLIED. THE CAR WAS STOPPED WITH FOOT BRAKE. IT STARTED TO SMOKE. THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT HOOD WAS RAISED TO FIND THE STARTER AND CABLES IN FLAMES. A HAND HELD CO2 FIRE EXTINGUISHER WAS USED TO PUT OUT THE FIRE TWICE. THE LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED AND UNHOOKED THE BATTERY. WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO RICK WOODSON HONDA, PETERS CREEK ROAD, ROANOKE, VA. THIS CAR HAS NEVER BEEN WRECKED. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ANY WORK DONE ON THE STARTER. IT HAS NEVER FAILED TO START NOR HAS THE STARTER SYSTEM EVER REQUIRED CHECKING. OTHER THAN MOTOR OIL AND A BATTERY REPLACED ON NOVEMBER 4, 1999, EVERY MAINTENANCE PART HAS COME FROM HONDA. ONLY A HONDA DEALER OR MY HUSBAND HAS EVER HAD THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT HOOD UP ON THIS CAR. IT HAS NEVER REQUIRED A JUMP-START NOR HAS IT JUMP STARTED ANOTHER VEHICLE. I HAVE DRIVEN 95% OF THE MILES ACCUMULATED ON THIS CAR. THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED FROM CLEVELAND VILLAGE HONDA, CLEVELAND TENNESSEE ON JUNE 24, 1995. THE CAR HAD SLIGHTLY OVER 6,000 MILES ON IT AND WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN DRIVEN BY THE SERVICE MANAGER.*AK

GAUGES FAIL-REPLACED ENTIRE METER/GAUGE SET-MILEAGE RESET TO 0), #4-34996 MILES (ALL GAUGES FAILED-REPLACED LOOSE GROUND CONNECTION), #5-44257 MILES (CATALYTIC CONVERTER FAILED, PCV & EGR-ALL REPLACED) ***THIS CAR HAS BEEN A LEMON FROM DAY ONE. THE TRUE MILEAGE IS UNKNOWN BECAUSE IT HAS FAILED FOR MILES AT A TIME. HONDA HAS DONE NOTHING TO COMPENSATE ME FOR SELLING ME THIS LEMON. I HAD ATTEMPTED TO RESOLVE THE MATTER WITH THE BBB, THREE DEALERSHIPS, THE DISTRICT OFFICE AND THE CORPORATE OFFICE WITH NO COMPENSATION. I CAN'T TRADE THE CAR OR SALE THE CAR BECAUSE OF THE ODOMETER REPLACEMENT. THE CAR IS WORTHLESS. AND WORST OF ALL I AM STILL TO THIS DAY HAVING PROBLEMS! RIGHT NOW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TELLS ME IT IS DUE TO CLOGG EGR VALVES THAT NEED TO BE CLEANED AT MY EXPENSE, ALTHOUGH THEY JUST COVERED IT UNDER WARRANTY LESS THAT A MONTH AGO WHEN THEY REPLACED THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. WHERE DO I GO NOW? WHAT DO I DO? SHOULD I HAVE TO KEEP CONTINUING PAYING HONDA FOR A DEFECTIVE CAR?
