ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
ON 9/19/02, I WAS LEAVING A STORE WHEN MY CAR STARTED TO MAKE A RATTLING SOUND. I THEN LOST POWER STEERING, ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE CAR STALLED. I POPPED THE HOOD TO FIND THAT ALL OF THE ENGINE BELTS HAD BEEN THROWN. AFTER TWO DAYS AT THE DEALERSHIP, I WAS ADVISED THE CRANK BOLT (KEY WAY AND CRANKSHAFT PULLEY) HAD FAILED. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP (DON CARLTON, TULSA, OK) COULD OFFER NO EXPLANATION AS TO WHY IT HAPPENED, ONLY THAT I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. MY REPAIR BILL WAS $536.61. I ALSO INCURRED A $57.34 TOW BILL TO GET THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE:BELTS AND ASSOCIATED PULLEYS
RE: 1999 HONDA ACCORD LX (VIN: [XXX]) WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA AT 25-30 MPH (APPROX), THE ENGINE STARTED MAKING CLANKING NOISE AND ENGINE DIED. SHE LET IT ROLLED, PULLED OVER AND PARKED ON THE SIDE OF THE STREET. WE DISCOVERED THAT THE MAIN PULLEY BROKE LOOSE AND THE DRIVE BELTS CAME OFF THE ROLLERS DUE TO A BROKEN (SHEARED OFF) BOLT THAT ATTACHED THE PULLEY TO THE CRANKSHAFT. THE CAR HAS ONLY 61K MILES ON IT AND I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS TOTALLY PREMATURE. THE BALL HONDA SERVICE REP TOLD US THAT HONDA MOTORS CO. WILL NOT COVER FOR THE REPAIR SINCE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED, BUT THIS IS TOTALLY PREMATURE I THOUGHT, AND MAYBE IT WAS CAUSED BY INFERIOR MATERIAL (BOLT) AND/OR BY POOR QUALITY WORKMANSHIP (OVER-TORQUE'D). THE CAR HAS HAD REGULAR MAINTENANCE SERVICE BY HONDA DEALER AND HAS NO PREVIOUS ENGINE WORK DONE EXCEPT FOR THE MFR RECOMMENDED REGULARLY-SCHEDULED SERVICES. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE TRANSMISSON SHIFTS HARD. SOMETIMES IT EVEN SLIPS. IT STARTED DOING IT FEW MONTHS AGO. RIGHT KNOW MY CAR HAS ABOUT 80000 MILES ON IT. HONDA HAS A RECALL ON 2000 BUT SINCE IT IS A 1999 THEY ARE MAKING A EXCUSS. MY OLDER 91 ACCORD WAS PERFECT TILL 250,000 MILES . I GUESS WITH THIS KINDA QUALITY THIS WILL BE MY LAST HONDA EVER.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
THE KEY OF THE CAR CAN BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH WITHOUT FIRST PLACING THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK. THIS MAKES IT POSSIBLE FOR THE DRIVER TO LEAVE THE CAR WITH THE KEY WITHOUT FIRST LOCKING THE TRANSMISSION. THIS IS NOT A ONE-TIME EVENT BUT CAN BE DONE AT ANY TIME.
