ENGINE, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I FEAR MY VEHICLE IS BEING DENIED A RECALL DUE TO IT BY HONDA. MY VEHICLE FAILED ITS ANNUAL EMISSIONS TEST ON AUG. 22. THE STATE SENT ME A NOTICE INFORMING ME THAT MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD WAS PART OF A RECALL CLASS IN 2004 THAT WAS CONNECTED TO AN EMISSIONS PROBLEM. I RECEIVED NO ALERT FROM HONDA ABOUT SUCH A RECALL. WHEN I ASKED HONDA ABOUT IT THIS WEEK, THEY TOLD ME MY CAR WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL CLASS. AND THEY CLAIMED THAT THEY COULD DETERMINE THIS BY MY CAR'S VIN -- THAT THE VIN INDICATED IT WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL CLASS. SO I AM ASKING FOR YOUR HELP TO DETERMINE IF MY VEHICLE IS PART OF THE RECALL. BASED ON MY REVIEW OF YOUR "2004 ANNUAL SUMMARY OF EMISSION RELATED RECALL" (HTTP://WWW.EPA.GOV/OTAQ/CERT/RECALL/420B05022.PDF), IT SEEMS LIKE IT IS PART OF THE CLASS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP. *TR

SUSPENSION
RECENTLY BOUGHT A 2000 HONDA ACCORD IN GREAT CONDITION. UPON INSPECTION NOTICED THAT THERE THE FRONT SUSPENSION CROSS MEMBER/SUBFRAME WAS ROTTED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS ONLY ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. UPON RESEARCHING ONLINE HAVE NOTICED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER OWNERS ABOUT THE AC UNIT LEAKING AND ROTTING OUT THAT PART OF THE SUB FRAME. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I BOUGHT A HONDA ACCORD WITH 162,000 MILES ON IT AND WAS TOLD ALL IT NEEDED WAS BRAKES AND ROTORS. WHEN I WAS REPLACING THE BRAKES AND ROTOR ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE I INSPECTED ALL OTHER PARTS AS WELL AND THAT'S WHEN I NOTICED THE BIG PROBLEM. THE SUB FRAME WAS ROTTED OUT. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR AND THAT HONDA RECOGNIZES THIS BUT FAILS TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THE AIR CONDITION DRAIN IS POSITIONED SO THAT IT IS CONSTANTLY DRIPPING ON TO THAT PART OF THE SUB FRAME. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND I WAS ADVISED NOT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE UNTIL I HAD THE PART REPLACED. I RESEARCHED THE PRICE AND LABOR FOR THE PART : PART: $600+ HONDA GARAGE. LABOR: $500+ HONDA GARAGE. HONDA NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS AS OTHER HONORABLE COMPANIES HAVE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
HI, DON'T KNOW WHERE ELSE TO REPORT THIS INFORMATION. I'VE CALLED BEFORE, LET IT RING FOR UP TO 20 MINUTES, WITH NO KIND OF PICK UP.I WAS GOING TO BUY THE MENTIONED VEHICLE FROM ROSS AUTO, AT 590 28TH ST SE, 49509 . I TOOK THE CAR TO RIVERTOWN HONDA IN GRANDVILLE, MI , KENOWA SW, 49509 FOR INSPECTION. ROSS'S CLAIMS CAR HAS 20,000 ACTUAL MILES. I BROUGHT IT BACK,QUITE LIVID WITH THE LIES. HE TOLD ME TO GIVE HIM CARFAX IN MY HAND, I SAID I WOULD FOR THE $35 FEE. HE FREAKED OUT,SAID THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH ME FOR BEING UPSET ABOUT THEIR LIES.I TOLD HIM TO GET THE CAR OFF THE LOT.THE FOLLOWING SUNDAY,DROVE TO ROSS', CAR STILL THERE. PRICE RAISED TO $7998.CALLED MY ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE >TOLD ME TO CALL THE MY SECRETARY OF STATE.REP GAVE ME PHONE NUMBER CLAIMED 2 B A FEDERAL AGENCY.WAS NOT.CALLED BACK MY SEC STATE,ON HOLD > THAN 1/2HR, TOLD "THIS IS FEDERAL OFFENCE" >CALL ANOTHER #. TOLD>..."NOTHING U CAN DO,CAR IS> THAN 10 YRS OLD".I CALLED FBI IN GRAND RAPIDS, MI. TOLD ME IT'S ISSUE 2 TAKE UP W. THE MY SEC. OF STATE. SEE NOW WHY ROSS' LAUGHING ALL THE WAY 2 BANK, AS HE'S UNACCOUNTABLE 2 MY NEIGHBOR,[XXX] ,DISTRICT COURT JUDGE >OFFICE ABOUT A MILE FROM ROSS', IN CITY OF WYOMING COURT BUILDING. TOLD ME HE HAS NO JURISDICTION, DOESN'T OFFER LEGAL ADVICE. DON'T KNOW IF CAR IS STILL ON LOT. I PRESUME SOMEONE BOUGHT IT & BEEN RIPPED OFF ROYALLY. AT CLOSING TIME, MULTIPLE HISPANIC MEN DRIVE MANY OF THE CARS OFF THE LOT FOR SOME REASON. I FIND THIS QUITE PECULIAR. THIS SITUATION IS AN OUTRAGE, & I'M DUMBFOUNDED THAT THERE IS NO ONE WHO WILL TAKE THE TIME TO STOP THESE LOW LIFES.SO WHAT IF CAR IS >MORE THAN TEN YEARS OLD? DOESN'T THE ODOMETER HAVE A SERIAL NUMBER ON IT THAT CAN PROVE IT'S MUCH LESS THAN TEN YEARS OLD? THIS IS A "TOTAL LOSS VEHICLE" BEING SOLD AS SOMETHING QUITE DIFFERENT. INEXCUSABLE OUTRAGEOUSNESS.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS APPROACHING A TRAFFIC LIGHT AT A SPEED OF ABOUT 35 MPH DRIVING MY HONDA ACCORD 2000 V6 ON JULY 13, 2013 APPROXIMATELY @ 2.00 PM EST. I WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN INCREASING THE SPEED TO APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH. SHOCKED BY THE RANDOM ACCELERATION, I APPLIED BRAKES TO STOP THE VEHICLE. AFTER STOMPING ON THE PEDAL IT WAS APPARENT THAT THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK . THEREFORE IN ORDER TO AVOID GOING TOWARDS THE TRAFFIC I DECIDED TO DRIVE INTO THE WOODS ON TO MY RIGHT SIDE. THE CAR CAME TO A STOP INSIDE A WOODED AREA 45 YARDS FROM THE EDGE OF THE RIGHT LANE KNOCKING OFF ALL THE TREES ON ITS WAY. IT DEPLOYED BOTH AIRBAGS IN THE FRONT. THE VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY DAMAGED ( TOTALED). THERE WAS NO INJURIES TO ME OR ANY OTHERS IN THIS CRASH. I FIRMLY BELIEVE & SUSPECT THERE WAS SOME MALFUNCTION IN THE VEHICLE'S SPEED CONTROL SYSTEM THAT RESULTED IN THIS MISHAP. IT WOULD BE A GREAT HELP IF YOU COULD ASSIST IN CONTACTING HONDA MOTOR COMPANY. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
WE JUST GOT IN THE CAR AFTER VALET PARKING RETURNED IT TO US. AFTER THE FIRST BRAKE APPLICATION AT ABOUT 20 MPH THE BRAKES WENT TO THE FLOOR. WE FOUND A PARKING SPACE AND CALLED FOR A TOW TO OUR HONDA DEALER. THE DEALER CALLED LATER TO SAY THAT THE BRAKE LINES HAD RUSTED THROUGH AND COULD NOT BE DRIVEN. THIS CAR HAS BEEN SERVICED AT THIS DEALER SINCE NEW AND HAD JUST HAD THE REQUIRED 150,000 MILE INSPECTION WITH NO MENTION OF A PROBLEM. IN 61 YEARS OF AUTOMOBILE OWNERSHIP, I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED SUCH A PROBLEM. I THINK THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NOT A NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ISSUE SUCH AS A LEAKY BRAKE CYLINDER. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
2000 V6 HONDA ACCORD DIED WITHOUT WARNING AT A STOPLIGHT AND SINCE THEN IT HAS BECOME MORE FREQUENT OVER SHORTER AND SHORTER TIME PERIODS/DISTANCES. DURING THE FIRST FEW SEVERAL OCCURRENCES LIKE THIS IT JUST DIED EITHER WHILE STOPPED OR WHILE RUNNING BUT COULD BE RE-STARTED BY PUTTING CAR INTO PARK GEAR AND RE-STARTING. NO WARNING, NO SPUTTERING, NO SHAKING AND SO ON PRIOR TO ANY OF THE DYING. THE ONLY INDICATION IT HAS DIED IS THE DASH PANEL INDICATOR LIGHTS WOULD ALL BE ON AS THOUGH THE CAR WAS JUST BEING STARTED. DURING RE-START THE DASH PANEL LIGHTS WOULD BE LIT LIKE THEY SHOULD BE JUST PRIOR TO STARTING. NOW AS OF YESTERDAY THE PATTERN HAS CHANGED TO STILL DIES AND THE DASH PANEL LIGHTS COME ON BUT WHEN YOU SHIFT TO PARK AND THEN TRY TO RE-START NONE OF THE DASH PANEL LIGHTS COME ON AND ALL YOU HEAR IS THE CRANKING OF THE ENGINE BUT NOT STARTING. EVENTUALLY AFTER A FEW MINUTES (1-5 MINUTES) OF BEING OFF YOU COULD THEN RE-START THE CAR AND THE DASH PANEL LIGHTS WOULD LIGHT UP PRIOR TO THE RE-START LIKE THEY SHOULD. UNFORTUNATELY TOWARD THE END OF YESTERDAY THAT PATTERN AGAIN CHANGED TO WHERE THE LIGHTS WOULD NOT COME ON DURING THE ATTEMPT TO RE-START EVEN AFTER 40 MINUTES. I CALLED HONDA ON 06/18/2013 AND SPOKE TO AN AGENT AND TOLD HER THAT I BELIEVE THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE THAT HONDA HAD A RECALL FOR DEALING WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH UNDER RECALL#:36754 IN THE USA AND ALSO ANOTHER IN CANADA FOR THE IDENTICAL ISSUE MY ACCORD IS DEMONSTRATING. HONDA SEEMS TO WANT TO HID BEHIND THE IDEA THAT IF MY VIN IS NOT IN THE RECALL THEN I AM OUT OF LUCK. THIS IS A LIFE THREATENING DRIVING CONDITION THE CAR DIES WHILE MOVING WITHOUT WARNING. I AM SURE THEY ARE OTHER OWNERS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE (WEB IS FULL OF OWNERS DECREEING THIS ISSUE) THAT HAVE JUST HAD CAR REPAIRED BUT NEVER FILED REPORT HERE TO BRING ISSUE TO YOUR ORGANIZATION'S ATTENTION. *TR

SRS INDICATOR REMAINS ON AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT IS DUE TO FAULTY DRIVER'S SEAT BELT BUCKLE SWITCH. THIS IS ISSUE RECOGNIZED BY THE HONDA VIA BULLETIN BUT REFUSED TO FIX IT. THIS ISSUE RELATED TO AIR BAG AND SHOULD BE FIXED SINCE IT IS A BASIC SAFETY ISSUE WHICH SHOULD BE COVERED. BOTH HONDA AND DEALER DULLES HONDA ARE REFUSED TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE EVEN THOUGH THIS IS BASIC SAFETY ISSUE FOR THE DRIVER OR PASSENGER IF AIR BAG DOES NOT DEPLOY. *TR

HEARD SOME STRANGE NOISES AND TOOK THE CAR TO A MECHANIC. THEY REPORTED THAT THE REAR BEAM HAD RUSTED THROUGH ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND TOLD ME IT WAS A DESIGN FLAW COMMON TO THAT YEAR ACCORD. THEY NOTED THAT THE SAME PART ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WAS NOT RUSTED AND ATTRIBUTED THE PASSENGER SIDE PROBLEM TO IT'S LOCATION BENEATH THE DRAIN FOR THE AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSER. THEY ALSO INDICATED THAT THE CAR WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. *TR

SUSPENSION
I HAD GIVEN THE CAR FOR REPAIR DUE TO SOME NOISE ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL. WHEN THE MECHANIC INSPECTED THE HUB DUE TO BALL BEARING PROBLEM, HE REMOVED THE KNUCKLE (SPINDLE) AND FOUND THAT THE BACK PORTION OF THE CRADLE WAS RUSTED. PART # 50200-S84-A00 - RR BEAM. THIS HAS BEEN CAUSED DUE TO WATER DRIPPING FROM THE AIR CONDITION UNIT. IT NEEDS REPLACEMENT AS THE CRADLE MAY NOT LAST LONG. *TR
