VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
CALLED HONDA RE: CAMPAIGN #99I002000 & WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS AN ERROR AND DOES NOT APPLY TO THE ACCORD BUT ONLY TO THE 96 CIVIC. MY ACCORD'S ACCELERATOR SEEMS TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM OF "THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL FEELS ROUGH OR NOTCHY WHEN YOU PRESS IT" AND "AND "ARE REQUIRED TO MOVE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO MAKE SLIGHT SPEED ADJUSTMENTS". YOU CAN REALLY FEEL THIS WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOPPED POSITION AND THE CAR EITHER ACCELERATES TOO SLOW AND/OR WHEN ADJUSTING FOR MORE ACCELERATION IT THEN ACCELERATES TOO FAST AND NOT SMOOTHLY. FIND THAT I HAVE TO REALLY FOCUS MY ATTENTION ON THE USE OF THE ACCELERATOR FOR FEAR THE CAR WILL ADVANCE TOO QUICKLY ON ICE AND/OR RUN INTO THE CAR AHEAD OF ME. DEALER STATES THIS IS THE WAY THE CAR OPERATES.*AK( DOT NUMBER: Y7LX 00L TIRE SIZE: 185/65R15 )

STATED MY A/C SHOULD BE OPERATED IN THE RE-CIRCULATION MODE VICE THE FRESH AIR MODE. I EXPLAINED WE HAVE 4 OTHER CARS PARKING IN THE SAME AREA AS I DO, AND NONE ARE EXPERIENCING AC DRAINAGE PROBLEMS. I ASK THE REP. DOES THAT MEANS ALL HONDA MUST BE OPERATED IN THE RE-CIRCULATION MODE? HER RESPONSE WAS YES, THEY HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT TO ALL THEIR HONDA ACCORDS OWNERS. THE SERVICE REP. STATED THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO FIX THE PROBLEM BUT TO OPERATE THE AC IN RE-CIRCULATION MODE. *AK
