LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
I DO NOT REMEMBER THE EXACT DATE OR MILEAGE BUT AM FAIRLY CLOSE. I WAS TOLD BY SIMS THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH '92 ACCORDS--THE DOOR LATCH REFUSES TO OPEN AND HAS TO BE DRILLED COSTING $520. I WAS CARRYING A 5 GAL CAN OF GAS THAT I HEARD TIP IN THE TRUNK. I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT AND WENT TO HOP OUT FAST TO CHECK BUT COULD NOT GET OUT. I CALLED HONDA AGAIN AND ASKED IF THERE WAS A RECALL. AGAIN THEY SAID I WOULD HAVE TO PAY AND IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM. I HAVE INJURED MY KNEES AND DISC TRYING TO GET IN AND OUT. I CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY FOR THIS AND IT IS DANGEROUS. IF IT WEREN'T A COMMON PROBLEM, I WOULD NOT SAY ANYTHING, BUT IF IT IS COMMON, SOMETHING SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE ABOUT IT, DON'T YOU THINK?*AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
CLEANING OUT MY GLOVE COMPARTMENT, AFTER THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED, I FOUND A HONDA WARRENTY EXTENSION FOR DISTRIBUTOR ASSEMBLY. MY FIRST FAILURE OCCURED 3/17 98 AT 73,000 MILES AND MY SECOND FAILURE HAPPENED ON 11/09/99 AT 97,622. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, ESPECIALLY THE SECOND TIME. MY WIFE AND I ARE ON A HEAVY TRAVELLED STREET, THE CAR ENGINE STOPS WHILE DRIVING ON A HILL WITH A BLIND CURVE RIGHT BEHIND US, AND ANGEL HELPED US GET THE CAR TO START TO GET TO SAFETY. I WILL BE CONTACTING HONDA RIGHT AFTER I AM DONE HERE, TO SEE IF I CAN GET REFUNDED THE MONEY I SPEND FOR THE REPAIRS SINCE I FORGOT ABOUT THE WARRENTY. I DID NOT TAKE IT TOMY DEALER, I TOOK IT TO MY MEHCANIC WHO I HAVE HAPPILY HAD FOR THE LAST 10 YEARS. THE FIRST REPAIR COST ME 258.00. *AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
SEVERE ENGINE VIBRATION, STEERING WHEEL AND DASHBOARD SHAKE, VERY DISTRACTING, AND CONCERNED THAT DAMAGE COULD RESULT TO SOME COMPONENTS FROM THIS SHAKING. JUST HAD 90000 MILE SERVICE DONE. ASKED IF THE SHAKING HAD GONE AWAY. MECHANIC SAID THAT THE ENGINE IS OK, HOWEVER, THE SHAKING IS COMMON ON THIS YEAR ACCORD (1992). WHEN ASKED HOW IT COULD BE FIXED, HE SAID IT WAS LIKELY A MOTOR MOUNT PROBLEM, POSSIBLY THE ONE WITH FLUID IN IT. HE SAID THIS CAN DEVELOP AS THE ENGINE "SETTLES" OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. I SAID THAT THIS IS STRANGE SINCE MY 1986 ACCORD NEVER DEVELOPED THIS PROBLEM. MIGHT THIS BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT? THANK YOU.
