POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TRANSMISSION LOCK UP CONVERTER FAILED, SUPPOSEDLY REPLACED WITH NEW TRANS. AFTER 2 WEEKS NEW TRANS. LOUDLY SLIPS WHILE IN REVERSE. TOOK CAR TO DEALER AND FIND OUT THEY PUT IN A RE-MANUFACTURED TRANS. (OH, BY THE WAY...) DEALER DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM HOWEVER BOB SPRINGER SERVICE MANAGER SAID "OTHER HONDAS ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM TOO". REASON FOR NOT PUTTING IN A NEW TRANS. HONDA DOESN'T HAVE ANY NEW TRANS. AVAILABLE, YET OUR SERVICE ADVISOR BRETT WAS GOING TO CHARGE US $3800 FOR A NEW TRANS. WHEN THE FIRST TRANSMISSION FAILED.*AK

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS
FUEL LINE/HOSE WHICH CONNECTS TO FILTER ONTO THE ENGINE, HAS A COVER OVER THE FUEL LINE/HOSE. "CRIMPED END OF THE HOSE/LINE" IS WHERE WATER GETS TRAPPED IN BETWEEN COVER AND HOSE/LINE, CAUSING FUEL LINE TO RUST. THIS COULD RESULT IN A FUEL LEAK. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

SUSPENSION
A BANGING NOISE AND A VIBRATION ARE EXPERIENCED WHEN THE ENGINE IS STARTED. IT HAPPENS IN EVERY NEW HONDA ACCORD LX 1999 AND 2000 YEAR CAR AS THE DEALER LET ME TESTED THESE CARS IN STOCK. IT IS NOT ONLY UNCOMFORTABLE BUT ALSO DANGEROUS BECAUSE NOISE AND VIBRATION LOOSES SCREWS AND CONNECTIONS FOR THE LONG RUN. IF THIS IS NOT CORRECTED, SOME CONNECTIONS MAY DROP AND CAUSE ACCIDENTS.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
ABS LIGHT CAME ON. HAD HONDA DEALERSHIP INSPECT; CONFIRMED ACCUMULATOR NEEDED REPLACEMENT; COST $450.00. ABS LIGHT RETURNED/INTERMITTENT. TOOK TO HONDA DEALER; CONFIRMED THAT ABS MODULATOR ASSEMBLY NEEDS REPLACEMENT; QUOTED $1313. AMERICAN HONDA WON'T HELP BECAUSE WE ARE THIRD OWNER, CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY, AND THEY DON'T CONSIDER THE LOSS OF THE ABS SYSTEM A SAFETY THREAT BECAUSE THE ANALOGUE BREAKS WILL STILL STOP THE CAR.*AK

VEHIICLE HESISTATED WHEN ACCLERATING AND IT STALLED. THIS CONDITION ALMOST CAUSED A CRASH, WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL. VEHICLE HAS BEEN CHECKED FOR TROUBLE OVER 3 OR 4 TIMES IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS. DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN UNABLE TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. *AK VEHICLE HAS STALLED AT FOUR OCCASIONS WHEN TRYING TO PULL INTO TRAFFIC OR ACCELERATE. BRAKE ROTORS WERE WARPPED AND REAR DRUM WERE SCORED PREMATURELY. CLINCKING NOISE IN THE STEERING COLUMN DUE TO COMBO SWITCH FAILURE. DRIVER SEAT BELT SQUEAKE WHEN LEANING FORWARD OR BACKWARD DUE TO RETRACTER FAILURE. *YH

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
I HAVE REASON TO BELIEVE THE ACCORD I PURCHASED IS UNSAFE. THERE IS A HESITATION AT 40 MPH. I FEEL UNSAFE IN THIS VEHICLE, AND THAT IF SOMEONE WERE FOLLOWING TO CLOSELY WHEN THE HESITATION OCCURS AND MY CARS SPEED DECREASES THEN I AM SUBJECT TO POSSIBLY BE REAR ENDED POTENTIALLY CAUSING MYSELF OR PASSENGERS TO BE INJURED. I WAS NEVER TOLD OF THIS SO CALLED NORMAL FUNCTION AS HONDA HAS STATED. I FEEL AS THOUGH I SHOULD HAVE BEEN TOLD AND THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN MISREPRESENTED, AND THAT I AT THAT TIME COULD HAVE OPTED TO PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE. HONDA REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING, I HAVE SPOKEN TO AND WRITTEN ABOUT THIS TO THEM. THANK YOU. *AK
