LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
ONE DAY I WENT TO GET OUT OF MY CAR AND THE DOOR JUST WOULD NOT OPEN. I HAD TO CRAWL OUT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN WITH THE KEY, AND IT CANNOT BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. THE COST OF REPLACING THE LATCH IS APPROXIMATELY $700. ONE WOULD THINK THAT HONDA WOULD RECALL THIS PROBLEM, CONSIDERING IT'S SUCH A SAFETY HAZARD. ALL IT WOULD TAKE IS ONE CRASH TO THE PASSENGER SIDE AND I WOULD BE TRAPPED IN MY VEHICLE! *LA

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
AFTER EXITING MY 1998 HONDA ACCORD AFTER PARKING IT ON MY FLAT DRIVEWAY, MY CAR THEN ROLLED DOWN MY BACKYARD HILL AND 100FT INTO THE WOODS ON MY PROPERTY. THE KEY HAD COME OUT NORMALLY WHEN I EXITED THE VEHICLE, HOWEVER THE CAR WAS IN THE "DRIVE " POSITION. NO ONE WAS INJURED BUT THE CAR HAD $6500 DAMAGE. I AM COMPLAINING BECAUSE I THOUGHT A SAFETY FEATURE OF MOST IGNITIONS IS THAT THE KEYS DO NOT COME OUT UNLESS THE CAR IS IN PARK. 2 MONTHS AFTER THIS EVENT HONDA HAS COME OUT WITH A STATEMENT REGARDING '98 ACCORDS HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE KEY COMING OUT WHEN THE CAR WAS NOT IN "PARK." *LA

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER
2003 HONDA ACCORD EX SEDAN WITH 4 CYLINDER. CAR HAS DEVELOPED HIGH IDLE 1800 RPM WHEN COLD. CAR WILL ACCELERATE (ACTUALLY JUMPS) TO 20 MPH WITH FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR. TAKES OVER +5 MINUTES BEFORE IT REDUCES TO A NORMAL IDLE (APPROXIMATELY 2 MILES WORTH OF DRIVING). THIS IS A REALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. ALSO EXPERIENCING THE ROTTEN EGG SMELL ENTERING INTO THE DRIVERS COMPARTMENT. THE AIR CONDITIONER (A/C) HAS A SERIOUS VIBRATION WHEN COMING ON THAT HAS HAD SEVERAL PASSENGERS ASK ME WHAT THE NOISE AND VIBRATION WERE. IT'S A SHAME SINCE I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES FOR THESE PROBLEMS AND CAME AWAY WITH THEM MAKING ME FEEL GUILTY AND THAT I'M THE ONLY ONE WITH THESE PROBLEM. I GUESS I'M GLAD THAT SITES LIKE THIS EXIST...THANKS. *LA

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON EVERY 500-600 MILES. SCHOMP HONDA IN DENVER SAID FLUSH TRANSMISSION. IF THAT DIDN'T WORK, THERE WAS A VALVE TO REPLACE IN THE TRANSMISSION. IF THAT DIDN'T WORK, TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT NEEDED AT $50,000. TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN FLUSHED, AND THE VALVE REPLACED (BY KOOL HONDA, MCCOOK, NE). THIS TIME THE LIGHT CAME ON ABOUT 1000 MILES. THIS STARTED BEFORE MILEAGE WAS 47,000 MILES. WE BOUGHT THE CAR USED, AND SUSPECT THE PROBLEM WAS APPARENT WHEN THE PRIOR OWNER TRADED IT IN. HONDA NEEDS TO RESPOND TO ALL THE OWNERS WITH TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS,BY FIXING/REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION AT NO COST TO OWNERS. *LA

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
ON AUGUST 19, 2003 THE OIL LIGHT ON MY CAR STARTED FLASHING. I CHECKED MY OIL AND NONE WAS TOUCHING THE OIL STICK. I CALLED WADE'S HONDA WHICH IS A SERVICE CENTER IN CLINTON, NC. MR. WADE CAME OUT AND CHECKED MY CAR AT WHICH TIME HE FOUND THAT THERE WAS A LEAK IN MY OIL SHAFT. HE TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM, BUT THE CAMPAIGN HAD ENDED. I ADVISED HIM THAT I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF ANY RECALL. MR. WADE CALLED AMERICAN HONDA AND WAS TOLD THAT I WAS NOTIFIED BY MAIL, BUT THE NOTICE CAME BACK AS UNDELIVERABLE. THIS NOTICE WAS SENT TO MY RESIDENCE ADDRESS (307 CARLTON STREET). I RECEIVE MY MAIL AT THE ABOVE OFFICE BOX ADDRESS. I HAVE BEEN LIVING AT THIS ADDRESS FOR 25 PLUS YEARS AND HAVE HAD THE SAME MAILING ADDRESS SINCE I MOVED HERE. I CALLED AMERICAN HONDA MYSELF AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING. MY COMPLAINT IS: I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS DOCUMENTED THAT THE NOTICE WAS UNDELIVERABLE; THAT IS PROOF THAT I NEVER RECEIVED IT. I FEEL THAT AMERICAN HONDA SHOULD REIMBURSE ME $139.00 FOR THAT REASON. I ALSO CHECKED THE INTERNET FOR OTHER RECALLS AND THERE WAS ONE IN 1999 REGARDING VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL AND ANOTHER ONE IN 1998 ABOUT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: WIRING:FRONT UNDERHOOD THAT I NEVER RECEIVED OR HAD KNOWLEDGE OF. *LA
