FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY
MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD SE START TO DEVELOPING A PROBLEM DURING THE LAST SEVRERAL MONTHS. WHEN IT IS STARTED FIRST TIME IN THE MORNING AFTER PARKED OVERNIGHT, THE THROTTLE OF THE CAR FEELS STUCKED. I HAVE TO PRESS THE THROTTLE REALLY HARD TO GET RID OF THE STUCK, BY DOING SO, THE VEHICLE WILL ACCELARATE ABSURDLY BECAUSE OF THE HARD PRESSING ON THE THROTTLE PEDAL(I.E., AT FIRST IT IS STUCKED, WHEN YOU PUSH THE THROTTLE PEDAL REALLY HARD, THE THROTTLE WILL GET LOOSE SUDDENLY AND THE VEHICLE STARTS TO ACCELERATE ABSURDLY)

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ON APRIL 9, 2004, I WAS BACKING MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD, 4 DOOR TO A PUMP AT A GAS STATION. THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AT SUCH A VELOCITY WHILE BACKING THAT I RAN INTO TWO OTHER CARS AND STOPPED ONLY WHEN I RAN INTO THE SERVICE STATION BUILDING'S WALL. EVEN THOUGH I APPLIED THE BRAKE THE CAR CONTINUED TO CAREEN OUT OF CONTROL DESPITE MY EFFORTS TO STOP IT. IT IS MOST FORTUNATE NO ONE WAS MAIMED OR KILLED. *AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL:GAS RECIRCULATION VALVE (EGR VALVE)
EGR VALVE WENT BAD ON THE CAR. INTERNET SEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS HAPPENS TO MANY PEOPLE. ASKED DEALER TO FIX THE PROBLEM AS IT WAS A DEFECT. THEY SAID IT WASN'T. I HAD TO PAY SINCE IT WAS AFFECTING MY FUEL ECONOMY. IT WAS REPLACED BY A NEW, DIFFERENT TYPE OF VALVE. THAT MAKES ME THINK THE ORIGINAL PART WAS BAD.*AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH
I CAN REMOVE THE KEY FROM MY 2000 ACCORD WHILE THE GEAR SHIFT IS STILL IN DRIVE. I DID THIS ONCE THINKING I HAD PLACED THE CAR IN PARK, AND AFTER EXITING THE CAR IT BEGAN TO ROLL BACKWARD. DESPITE THE FACT THERE WAS A RECALL ON 98 AND 99 ACCORDS FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM, THE FOLKS AT HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE TOLD ME I NEED TO TAKE MY CAR TO A HONDA DEALER AND PAY TO HAVE IT INSPECTED. HOWEVER, THEY DIDN'T PROMISE ME THEY COULD DO ANYTHING FOR ME AFTER THE INSPECTION.*AK

SEAT BELTS:REAR/OTHER
REAR SEAT BELTS IN MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD EX ARE TOO SHORT FOR ADULTS. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO GET THEM ON WITHOUT ACTIVATING THE AUTOMATIC RETRACTION MECHANISM, WHICH MAKES THEM VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. IT OFTEN TAKES 4-6 ATTEMPTS TO GET THEM ON COMFORTABLY, AND IF YOU LEAN FORWARD WITH THE BELT ON, YOU HAVE TO START OVER.*AK

THE DEALER REFUSED TO FIX THE IGNITION PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE WOULD BE STARTED THEN DIE OUT IMMEDIATELY.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
I PURCHASED A CERTIFIED USED CAR FROM DUBLIN HONDA WITH A LITTLE OVER 7K MILES, AROUND THE 12TH OF AUGUST 2001. MY CAR STARTED STALLING WHILE DRIVING WHEN THE GAS TANK WAS BETWEEN 1/4-1/8 TANK. I ALSO NOTICED A BLACK FLAP HANGING UNDER MY CAR AND A LOT OF DUCT TAPE WRAPPED AROUND THE FRONT AXEL AND CAUGHT ON THE TIRES. IT TOOK THREE TRIPS TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THEY FINALLY REMOVED THE FUEL TANK AND FOUND DAMAGE FUEL TANK DAMAGE AND DAMAGE UNDER FUEL PUMP. THEY SAID BUT DID NOT PUT IN WRITING THAT THERE WAS A PATCH ON AN AREA OF THE DAMAGE. THEY ASKED ME WHAT I HAD HIT, WHICH I HADN'T HIT AS THERE WAS A PATCH REPAIR IN THE AREA. I HAVE NOT HIT ANYTHING. THEREFORE HONDA SOLD ME A CAR THAT WAS DAMAGED AND DID NOT REPORT THIS TO ME. WHAT I REALLY WANT IS HONDA TO REPLACE MY CAR WITH A NEW ONE. I KNOW THAT IT IS ILLEGAL TO SELL A DAMAGED CAR WITHOUT THE PURCHASERS NOTIFIED OF ANY DEFECTS, ETC. AND I WAS NOT. MY CAR STALLED WHILE DRIVING 75 MILES AND HOUR ON A VERY BUSY FREEWAY AND THEREFORE I COULD NOT GET OFF THE FREEWAY AND HAD TOO MANY NEAR MISSES FROM OTHER CARS TO WANT TO REMEMBER. I THOUGHT AT WHAT POINT THAT I WAS GOING TO DIE OUT THERE. I COULD SEE THE HEADLINES. "HOSPICE NURSE DIES ON FREEWAY AFTER VISITING PATIENT." *JB
