EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS
I HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED AT STOP LIGHTS FIVE TIMES IN THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN AT A COMPLETE STOP FOR EACH ONE OF THESE. IN SEARCHING FOR A REASON FOR THIS I HAVE REALIZED THAT THE 1999 HONDA ACCORDS HAVE DIM BRAKE LIGHTS. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW TO PROCEED WITH THE MANUFACTURER. THIS HAS CAUSED MULTIPLE INJURIES AND HEARTACHES. I HAVE NOT BEEN AT FAULT IN ANY OF THESE, AND HAVE NEVER HAD AN ACCIDENT BEFORE OWNING THIS CAR. *AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THIS IS HONDA ACCORD V6, I HAVE NOTICED A CLUNK WHEN OPERATING THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A LOCAL DEALER AND THEY SAY THEY CANNOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE AREN'T ANY COMPLAINTS OR ISSUANCES ON THE BULLETIN BOARDS OF THIS PROBLEM. HOWEVER, THERE ARE. I BELIEVE IT IS REFERRED TO AS THE 'REVERSE CLUNK' PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM IS NOT CONSISENT EVERY TIME I OPERATE MY CAR IN REVERSE, BUT IT HAPPENS ABOUT 90% OF THE TIME. THE CAR IS OPERATED UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT I WANT FIXED. WHEN YOU PAY FOR QUALITY THAT IS WHAT I EXPECT TO GET. I WILL ALSO BE CONTACTING THE HONDA CORPORATION ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.*AK

TIRES
MY HUSBAND AND I PURCHASED TIRES FROM NTB IN MARCH 2000 AND IN JUNE 2000, TWO TIRES WERE REPLACED BECAUSE THEY WERE DEFECTIVE. NOW, WE ARE FACED WITH DEFECTIVE TIRES AGAIN (THE TREAD IS SEPARATING FROM THE STEEL BELTS). MY HUSBAND RETURNED TO NTB TODAY TO BE TOLD THAT IT WOULD COST HIM $100 TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE TIRES (I.E., THE COST OF THE TIRES, BALANCING, STEM, LABOR, ETC., MINUS A CREDIT FOR TIRE WEAR. THESE TIRES HAVE A 35,000 MILE WARRANTY AND WE APPARENTLY HAVE USED THEM FOR 23,000 MILES. THIS IS NTB'S STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE). THESE ARE NOT FIRESTONE TIRES, BUT FORMULA GT TIRES (WE ARE ATTEMPTING TO DETERMINE THE MANUFACTURER OF THE TIRE). WE ARE DISGUSTED WITH NTB. THEY SHOW A COMPLETE DISREGARD FOR CONSUMER SAFETY. THIS IS AMAZING IN LIGHT OF THE CURRENT SITUATION WITH FIRESTONE. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED WE FOUGHT WITH THEM IN ORDER TO GET THE TIRES REPLACED WITHOUT COST. OF COURSE, WE STILL HAD TO PAY FOR THE ALIGNMENT. TODAY THEY WERE ABSURD. MY HUSBAND TRIED TO CONTACT SEARS WHILE HE WAS IN NTB, BUT THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT MERELY PLACED HIM BACK IN TOUCH WITH THE STORE MANAGER WHO MAINTAINED HIS POSITION. MOST BUSINESS' WOULD RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEM AND TAKE CARE OF THE CUSTOMER WITHOUT QUESTION. FROM A BUSINESS STANDPOINT, IT IS MORE COST EFFECTIVE TO KEEP AN EXISTING CUSTOMER THAN TO ATTRACT A NEW ONE. I'M SURE THE MARKETING DEPARTMENT SPENDS A LOT MORE THAN $100.00 TO ATTRACT CUSTOMERS TO ITS STORES. MY HUSBAND IS IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO REACH THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT AND THE MANUFACTURER OF THE TIRE. WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR ANYTHING UNREASONABLE. WE SIMPLY WANT THE DEFECTIVE TIRES REMOVED FROM THE CAR AND NEW TIRES OF EQUAL TO OR BETTER QUALITY PLACED ON THE CAR WITHOUT FURTHER COST TO OURSELVES. WE ARE TIRED OF DEALING WITH THESE PEOPLE AND THEIR POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE AND COMPLETE DISREGARD FOR OUR PERSONAL SAFETY WHILE DRIVING ON A PRODUCT THEY SELL. WE THOUGHT THAT YOU WOULD BE INTERESTED TO KNOW THAT.
