#712523September 29, 1999
SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM, STEERING:LINKAGES
VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED 5/97. NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID 99V069000 RECALLED SIMILAR MODEL FOR DEFECTIVE BALL JOINTS, FOR UNITS MANUFACTURED FROM 7/97 TO 8/97. I BELIEVE MY MODEL, MANUFACTURED 5/97, HAS SAME PROBLEM. CAR MAKES "GROANING" NOISE WHEN WHEEL IS TURNED AT STARTUP, AND AROUND CURVES. FEAR UNSAFE CONDITION COULD LEAD TO ACCIDENT. PLEASE IMMEDIATELY EXTEND RECALL #99V069000 TO COVER HONDA ACCORD 1997 MODELS MANUFACTURED IN MONTHS PRIOR TO JULY 1997!!! I ASKED DEALER TO CHECK BALL JOINTS DURING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, WAS TOLD THAT MY MODEL WAS NOT AFFECTED BY RECALL.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC
I SPENT OVER $800 IN EIGHT MONTHS ON NEW ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS. THE PARTS REPLACED WERE ORIGINAL FROM THE DAY BOUGHT MARCH 1, 1997. HONDA OF SCOTTSDALE, HONDA OF TEMPE, AND HONDA OF MESA ALL HAVE KEPT REQUIRED MAINTENANCE RECORDS. AT ABOUT 32K MILES I ASKED SCOTTSDALE HONDA TO CHECK A RATTLING SOUND. THEY SAID I STELL HAD 7500 MILES ON THE BRAKES. AT ABOUT 34K I TOOK IT TO ECONOLUBE N' TUNE BECAUSE I WAS GETTING NO SATISFACTION. HE CHARGED ME $350 AND SAID THE ROTOR COULD NOT BE TURNED ON HIS LATHE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. MARY CUTBIRTH, CUSTOMER RELATIONS REPRESENTATIVE FOR HONDA IN COLARADO (303-696-3935) SAID TRY TO GET THE CALIPERS BACK BECAUSE THEY WERE UNDER THE 36K MILES WARRANTY. ECONOLUBE N' TUNE THREW THEM AWAY. HONDA WOULD NOT HELP, AT 45K MILES HONDA OF MESA DID THE MAINTENANCE INSPECTION. I TOOK THE CAR BACK BECAUSE I HEARD RATTLING. THEY DID NOTHING. AT 50565 MILES I WAS FEELING SHAKING WHEN I STOPPED. HONDA OF MESA SAID THE ROTOR NEEDED REPLACING WITH BRAKE PADS. IT COST $450. *AK
