POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
BACKING INTO MY PARKING SPOT AT WORK I INADVERTENTLY TURNED THE ENGINE OFF WHILE THE CAR WAS IN REVERSE. I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE AND THE CAR ROLLED FORWARD, ACROSS THE DRIVEWAY. I WAS TOLD, BY THE DEALER AND AMERICAN HONDA, THAT THIS WAS NORMAL - THAT THE CAR GOES INTO "NEUTRAL" WHEN THE IGNITION IS OFF AND I SHOULD PUT THE CAR IN PARK (DUH!). THIS SEEMS A SERIOUS SAFETY RISK SHOULD A CHILD OR ANYONE PUT A CAR (I TESTED THIS WITH MY 2006 VOLVO S60, AS WELL) IN GEAR, IT WILL NOT GEAR-LOCK. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
I HAVE SEEN THIS PROBLEM ON BOTH HONDA AND ACURA MODELS. THE DASH BOARD IS ILLUMINATED AND THE DAY TIME RUNNING LIGHT ARE ON BUT THE HEADLIGHTS ARE NOT. THE PROBLEM IS THE DRIVER BELIEVES THE LIGHTS ARE ON AS THE DASH BOARD IS ON AND THEY HAVE SOME FORWARD VISION. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM IS THE OWNERS FORGET TO MANUALLY TURN ON THE HEADLIGHTS. IT APPEARS AS IF THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ON WHEN IN FACT THEY ARE NOT. THE MAIN PROBLEMS IS THE TAIL LAMPS ARE NOT ON. TWICE IN THE RECENT PAST ON A DARK CURVED SECTION OF THE HIGHWAY I HAVE ALMOST CHANGED LANES INTO A BLACK HONDA ACCORD AND ON A DIFFERENT OCCASION A BLACK ACURA TSX DUE TO THE SAME ISSUE. FROM BEHIND IN THE DARK THEY ARE BASICALLY INVISIBLE. BOTH TIMES I HAVE TRIED TO NOTIFY THE DRIVER AND BOTH TIMES I WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. I COULD SEE THEIR INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATED AND COULD NOT GET THEM TO UNDERSTAND THEIR HEADLIGHT WERE NOT ON SINCE FROM THEIR PERSPECTIVE EVERYTHING WAS ON. EITHER THE HEADLIGHTS SHOULD TURN ON AUTOMATICALLY OR THE INSTRUMENT PANEL SHOULD NOT BE ILLUMINATED IF THE HEADLIGHT ARE OFF. THE CURRENT OPERATION OF THESE VEHICLES IS UNSAFE. *TR

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
HONDA 6SPD TRANSMISSION HAS PROBLEM WITH 3RD GEAR. WHEN SHIFTING FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR, TRANSMISSION WILL EITHER POP OUT OF GEAR OR GRIND INTO GEAR. PROBLEM DOES NOT OCCUR ALL OF THE TIME AND STARTED WITH THE FIRST 7,500 MILES. PROBLEM OCCURS AT VARIOUS INTERVALS AT ABOUT 1-5% OF TOTAL DRIVE TIME. THIS USUALLY TAKES PLACE WHEN I FIRST START DRIVING THE CAR BUT STILL HAPPENS AFTER THIS AT FEWER INTERVALS. I'VE TAKEN THE CAR IN SEVERAL TIMES AND ADDRESSED THE ISSUE AT EVERY SERVICE. THE DEALER IS UNABLE TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM SINCE THE ISSUE DOESN'T HAPPEN VERY OFTEN. ON OR ABOUT THE 21 FEB 08 THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO ENTER 2ND GEAR. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT INTO 2ND BUT COULD NOT SHIFT INTO 1ST GEAR. THE DEALER FIXED THE ISSUE WITH 1ST GEAR AND SAID THEY FIXED 3RD. ON THE DRIVE HOME AND THERE AFTER I STILL HAD TROUBLE SHIFTING FROM 2ND TO 3RD. I NOW HAVE TROUBLE SHIFTING FROM 3RD TO 4TH. I'VE TRIED TO TAKE IT IN RECENTLY BUT THEY WHERE STILL UNABLE TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
BOUGHT 2007 HONDA ACCORD HYBRID IN OCT, 07. REPORTED THAT THE CAR MAKES CLUNK NOISES WHEN SHIFTING SOMETIMES AND VIBRATES THE ENTIRE WHEN PULLING OFF SLOWLY AS IT AUTOMATICALLY SHIFTS INTO GEAR. THE CAR ALSO HESITATES WHEN PRESSING GAS TO SPEED UP WHICH NEARLY CAUSED ME TO GET REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER CAR WHO HAD TO HIT BRAKES TO STOP FROM HITTING ME. HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM SEVERAL TIMES IN WHICH THE LAST TIME THE ENGINEER WAS CONTACTING AND IT WAS STATED THAT THIS IS NORMAL OPERATION OF THE CAR AND NOTHING COULD BE DONE TO PREVENT. COMPLAINTS STARTED AT 1000 MILES AND CAR NOW HAS 600 MILES. HAVE VOICED COMPLAINT WITH DEALERSHIP AND HONDA OF AMERICA AND TO DATE NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT THE ISSUE. IT IS CRAZY TO SPEND THIS MUCH MONEY ON A CAR THAT AM BEING TOLD THAT VIBRATIONS AND CLUNKING NOISES ARE NORMAL. THIS IS TRULY A MATTER OF THE CUSTOMER BEING TREATED UNFAIRLY. ADDITIONALLY HONDA SAID THEY WOULD TAKE THE CAR IN AS TRADE AND GIVE ME $23,000 FOR THE CAR WHEN BLUE BOOK SAYS IT IS WORK CLOSE TO $26,000.. $3000 BELOW BLUE BOOK VALUE AND YET THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. *TR

SEAT BELTS, AIR BAGS
WHILE MY 2007 HONDA ACCORD WAS STOPPED IN TRAFFIC, IT WAS HIT IN THE REAR BY A CAR MOVING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. DAMAGE TO MY CAR WAS EXTENSIVE, AND BOTH I AND THE DRIVER OF THE OTHER CAR WERE INJURED. I LOST CONSCIOUSNESS AND SUFFERED A CONCUSSION. I AND THE OTHER DRIVER WERE TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL BY AMBULANCE. IN MY CAR, THE FRONT, SIDE AND CURTAIN AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERS PROBABLY DID NOT WORK BECAUSE I HIT MY HEAD ON THE STEERING WHEEL WITH SUFFICIENT FORCE TO LOSE CONSCIOUSNESS. I REPORTED THIS TO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER WHERE MY CAR IS BEING REPAIRED, AND I REQUESTED THAT THE DEALER INFORM THE HONDA ZONE REPRESENTATIVE. MY INSURANCE COMPANY INSISTS THAT MY CAR IS REPAIRABLE, BUT I HAVE LOST TOTAL CONFIDENCE IN THE SAFETY SYSTEMS OF THIS CAR. *TR

STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS
DATE OF SERVICE - 6/15/07 WINDOWS ENGRAVE NUMBER: 273256989 2007 HONDA ACCORD COUPE EX-L PURCHASED FROM: WEST HILLS HONDA, BREMERTON, WASHINGTON TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: I AM NOT SURE IF I RECEIVED A DEFECTIVE NEW HONDA ACCORD, OR PERHAPS A LEMON. I HAVE HAD MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP OVER FIVE TIMES ALREADY. I HAVE LESS THAN 5,000 MILES ON MY CAR AND THE RATTLING PROBLEMS THAT I AM HAVING ON THE LEFT SIDE OF MY INTERIOR INSIDE OF MY CAR BOTH FRONT AND BACK AND THE SUNROOF IS NERVE WRECKING. I WANT THIS FIX AND TIRED OF GOING BACK AND FORTH, ONLY BEING TOLD THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. I AM NOT RETARDED NOR AM I HEARING RATTLING IN MY MIND. I AM STILL HAVING EXCESSIVE RATTLING INSIDE OF MY CAR, EACH ATTEMPT THEY (DEALERSHIP) CLAIM THEY CAN NOT PIN POINT THE PROBLEM. I AM NOT HARD OF HEARING AND I HOPE THE TECH'S ARE NOT DEAF, BECAUSE EVEN MY PASSENGERS COMPLAINT ABOUT THE NOISES. I JUST THINK HONDA DOES NOT WANT TO STAND UP AND CORRECT THE PROBLEMS. I WILL HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO SUIT FOR A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. THIS IS A NEW CAR UNDER FULL WARRANTY. I SHOULD NOT BE GETTING EXCESSIVE RATTLING IN THE COMPARTMENT OF THE CAR. I WANT THE DEALER TO PINPOINT THE RATTLING AND MAKE IT SO THAT THE RATTLING GOES AWAY. THE INTERIOR QUALITY IS NOT GOOD AND NEEDS TO BE TAKING CARE CORRECTED THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A BRAND NEW CAR. I BROUGHT A HONDA FOR IT REPUTATION OF QUALITY, NOT TO HEAR CONSTANT RATTLING. I AM PISSED OFF. I PAID GOOD MONEY FOR THIS CAR AND SHOULD NOT HAVE ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLER PIPE AND CAP
CHECK GAS CAP STARTED FLASHING IN THE ODOMETER SECTION. I HAD RECENTLY FILLED UP THREE DAYS EARLIER. FOUND OUT LATER THAT YOU HAVE TO TURN THE GAS CAP UNTIL YOU HEAR THREE CLICKS (NOT JUST ONE). ONE CLICK OR NO CLICKS WILL CAUSE THE ERROR TO SHOW UP. IT TOOK A FEW DAYS FOR THE CHECK CAP ERROR TO SHOW UP. I TIGHTENED THE GAS CAP CORRECTLY AND DROVE 15 MILES AND THE ERROR CLEARED ITSELF. OTHER THAN THE SELF-INDUCED ERROR MY ACCORD HAS RUN PERFECTLY. *TR
