VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED THE ACCELERATOR STICKS IN THE IDLE POSITION. ONCE THE VEHICLE IS PUT IN GEAR, THE ACCELERATOR WON'T MOVE UNLESS USING EXTREME FORCE, THEN IT WILL LUNGE FORWARD OR BACKWARD IF IN REVERSE. THE PROBLEM WAS MOMENTARILY FIXED BY LUBRICATING THE THROTTLE BODY BUT AFTER 15 TO 20,000 MILES PROBLEM REAPPEARS. *JG

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ON APRIL 9, 2002 AS I WAS PARKING INTO MY APARTMENT COMPLEX DRIVE, GOING ABOUT 5 MPH PARKING IN A SPACE. MY 1997 HONDA ACCORD SE ACCELERATED FORWARD INSTEAD OF STOPPING. THE CAR JUMPED THE PARKING MEDIAN AND I ENDED UP IN SOME BRUSHES AND ON ONE OF THE APARTMENT PATIO BALCONIES. PRAISE GOD, THE BRUSHES WAS THERE WHICH SLOWED THE SPEED AND DID NOT CAUSE MORE DAMAGE THAN IT DID. THE CAR PICKED ACCELERATED AT A HIGH SPEED, I WOULD SAY ABOUT 30-45 OR MORE MPH. IT SOUNDED LOUD LIKE AN ACCELERATOR JUST PICKED UP VERY HIGH SPEED.*AK

EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL:ACCESSORY SCISSOR/SCREW/BOTTLE JACK/LIFT
MY CONCERN IS THAT THE LUG WRENCH PROVIDED WITH THIS CAR AND MOST OTHERS WILL NOT ALLOW MOST PEOPLE TO REMOVE THE LUG NUTS AFTER THEY HAVE BEEN TORQUED BY A TIRE DEALERSHIP. EITHER THE TORQUE BEING APPLIED IS TOO MUCH OR THE WRENCHES ARE NOT ADEQUATE. MANY PEOPLE THERES DAYS HAVE SOME TYPE OF ROAD-SIDE INSURANCE AND NEVER REALLY HAVE TO REMOVE THE WHEEL, HOWEVER IF A FLAT HAPPENS IN A REMOTE AREA AND THE ONLY EQUIPMENT AVAIABLE IS THE EQUIPMENT SUPPLIED WITH THE CAR, MANY PEOPLE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO LOOSEN THE LUG NUTS. MY CONCERN IS NOT ONLY THE EQUIPMENT IN THE CAR, BUT ALSO THE AMOUNT OF TORQUE APPLIED. I BELIEVE THE TORQUE BEING APPLIED BY THE TIRE DEALERSHIPS IS WITHIN THE SPECIFICATIONS, HOWEVER I ALSO BELIEVE IT IS MORE THAN NECESSARY. IF YOU HAVE LUG NUTS TORQUED TO SPECIFICATION ON YOUR CAR, ASK YOUR WIFE TO TRY AND LOOSEN ONE. NLM

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
I RECENTLY WAS A VICTIM OF A HONDA RECALL ON FRONT BALANCER SHAFT SEAL, WHICH CAUSES OIL TO BE RAPIDLY PUMPED OUT ENGINE WITHOUT WARNING, CAUSING SERIOUS ENGINE DAMAGE. I TOOK MY CAR TO EMPIRE HONDA IN DENVER,CO (303)-399-8443. AT EMPIRE HONDA THEY ADMITTED IT WAS THE HONDA RECALL THAT CAUSED ME TO ALMOST WRECK ON THE HIGHWAY. THEY STATED THAT IT WAS COVERED UNDER THE HONDA RECALL AND THEY STARTED TO MAKE REPAIRS. WHEN THEY DISCOVERED THAT I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE, THEY STATED THEY WOULD ONLY COVER 1/3 OF THE COST. WHICH IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE, BECAUSE PROBLEM NEVER WOULD HAVE OCCURRED IF IT WERE NOT FOR THE "DEFECT" IN HONDA CARS. I HAVE THE PAPERS ON THE HONDA RECALL THAT STATES HONDA IS SUPPOST TO REPLACE MY ENGINE AT NO COST (FRONT BALANCER SHAFT OIL SEAL REPLACEMENT PG. 5 "D"). I KNOW YOU HAVE ACCESS TO THESE PAPERS PLEASE LOOK AT THEM, SO YOU CAN SEE THAT I AM CORRECT. HONDA IS TRYING TO WEASEL THEIR WAY OUT OF TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE "DEFECTS" IN HONDA CARS. IF THERE IS ANY INFORMATION OR HELP THAT WOULD HELP ME IN MY FIGHT AGAINST HONDA TO MAKE THEM TAKE RESPONSIBILTY FOR THEIR DEFECTS, PLEASE CONTACT ME (303)-458-6314. IF THERE IS ANYBODY THAT CAN MAKE HONDA TAKE RESPONSIBILITY IT IS THE NHTSA.*AK
