THE WINDOW SPONTANEUOSLY BURST. UPON REPORTING IT TO THE POLICE FIGURING SOME FOUL PLAY I WAS TOLD THAT HONDAS IN THE SEATTLE AREA HAVE DONE THIS BEFORE. THE OFICER SAID IT HAPPENED TO HIMSELF AND IT IS DUE TO THE CURVATURE OF THE WINDOWS WHICH IS NOTICEABLY DIFFERENT THAN MY REPLACEMENT WINDOW. IS THIS TYPE OF ACCIDENT BEING REPORTED? OTHER PEOPLE WITH SIMILAR STORIES HAVE TOLD ME THAT THEIR VEHICLES HAD BEEN RECALLED AND THE WINDOWS REPLACED.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
CALLED HONDA RE: CAMPAIGN #99I002000 & WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS AN ERROR AND DOES NOT APPLY TO THE ACCORD BUT ONLY TO THE 96 CIVIC. MY ACCORD'S ACCELERATOR SEEMS TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM OF "THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL FEELS ROUGH OR NOTCHY WHEN YOU PRESS IT" AND "AND "ARE REQUIRED TO MOVE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO MAKE SLIGHT SPEED ADJUSTMENTS". YOU CAN REALLY FEEL THIS WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOPPED POSITION AND THE CAR EITHER ACCELERATES TOO SLOW AND/OR WHEN ADJUSTING FOR MORE ACCELERATION IT THEN ACCELERATES TOO FAST AND NOT SMOOTHLY. FIND THAT I HAVE TO REALLY FOCUS MY ATTENTION ON THE USE OF THE ACCELERATOR FOR FEAR THE CAR WILL ADVANCE TOO QUICKLY ON ICE AND/OR RUN INTO THE CAR AHEAD OF ME. DEALER STATES THIS IS THE WAY THE CAR OPERATES.*AK( DOT NUMBER: Y7LX 00L TIRE SIZE: 185/65R15 )

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
COMPLETE LOSS OF OIL WHILE ON HIGHWAY - I LATER FOUND OUT THIS WAS THE FAILURE OF THE BALANCE SHAFT, WHICH HAD BEEN A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE/MODEL SINCE 1996. I HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED TO THE NEAREST REPAIR SHOP (THE DEALER WAS TOO FAR AWAY TO HAVE IT TOWED THERE). THEY DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED THE PROBLEM (ALL MY BELTS AND HOSES HAD TO BE REPLACED INCLDING TEH TIMING BELT) TO THE TUNE OF $565.45. SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT THE CAR (NEW) I HAD IT FAITHFULLY SERVICED AT THE DEALER. SINCE THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND I REGULARLY HAD MY CAR SERVICED WITH THIS HONDA DEALER, WHY DIDN'T THEY ALERT ME AND HAVE THE RESTAINING CLIP INSTALLED? THIS COST ME $565.45 AND PUT ME IN A VERY DANGEROUS POSITION ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD (TO AVOID BLOWING OUT THE ENGINE). NEEDLESS TO SAY I HAVE NOT HAD MY CAR SERVICED AT A HONDA DEALER SINCE THIS INCIDENT. I BELIEVE I DESERVE TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THIS EXPENSE BY HONDA. *AK
