THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH HONDA TRANSMISSION YET NO SERVICE BULLITEN CAN BE FOUND ON THE ACCORD.HONDA IS WELL AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BUT IS STILL ASKING OWNERS TO PAY FOR THE COST TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION WITH REBUILD.*AK

CAR DIED WHEN PULLING FROM STOP, HAD PREVIOUSLY DIED WHEN GOING 20 MPH. FIRST TIME DEALER SAID NO WAY TO CHECK. THIS TIME ANOTHER DEALER CHECKING AND SAID IDLE WAS LOW. CAR NOT PART OF IGINITION RECALL BUT VERY SAME SYMPTONS. WHEN CAR WS LESS THAN 1 YR OLD, TOOK TO DEALER FOR SOMEWHAT SIMILAR PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD THAT KEYCHAIN MAY HAVE INTERFERRED WITH IGNITION. MADE DETAILED REPORT OF PROBLEM AT THE DEALER. HAD 1990 HONDA CIVIC DIE ON FREEWAY, HAD 49,000 MILE ON CAR. WAS A SWITCH AND UNDER WARRANTY.VERY CONCERNED THAT I WILL BE IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS FAR TOO COMMON WITH HONDA. WILL THINK TWICE ABOUT EVER BUYING ONE AGAIN. HAD 1980 HONDA THAT STALLED AT RED LIGHTS BUT CAR SO OLD -ABOUT 140,000 MILE THAT I JUST TRADED IT IN.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
THIS PROBLEM EFFECTS EMISSIONS, WHICH THE GOVERNMENT HAS MANDATED AN EXTENSION ON HONDA WARRANTIES TO 8 YEAR/ 80,000 MILES. THIS APPEARS TO BE A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM. ONE TO WHICH THE HONDA CORPORATION FAILS TO RESPOND. THERE APPEARS TO BE EITHER A FAULTY INDICATION OF EMISSION PROBLEMS OR PARTS THAT ARE TRULY DEFECTIVE - WEARING OUT BEFORE THEIR NORMAL LIFE EXPECTANCY.*AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY 1999 HONDA ACCORD WAS AT HOWDY HONDA ON 6/26/2002 FOR TROUBLE WITH HARD, JERKY SHIFTING AT 20 MPH. WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BUT EVERYTHING WAS ALRIGHT. ON 7/31/2002, EXPERIENCED EXTREMELY HARD SHIFTING AT 40 MPH. THE ENGINE WOULD REV, DIE DOWN, AND THEN SUDDENLY JERK INTO GEAR. THIS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN UNTIL TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP ON 8/2/2002. WAS INFORMED AT THIS TIME BY SAME DEALERSHIP (6/26/2002) THAT MY TRANSMISSION WAS DAMAGED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM
THE KNOCKING NOISE WAS THERE SINCE A FEW MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR.THE DEALER SAID THAT'S NORMAL WITH NEW HONDAS B/C THE GEARS . HAD BROKEN-IN, BENEFIT OF A DOUBT. BUT AFTER THAT THE KNOCKING HAPPENED MO RE OFTEN I BECAME SUSPICIOUS AND ASKED A FRIEND WITH A 4CYL '99 ACCORDLX HE SAID THAT HE NEVER HAD THAT PROBLEM. MINE WAS AN EXV6 TOP OF THE LINE THIS SHOULDN'T HAPPEN. AND THE LAST TIME I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER THEY HEARD IT AT LEAST ONCE BUT THAY SAID THAT THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE IT ON DEMAND SO THEY CAN'T PINPOINT WH AT'S CAUSING IT. THIS SHOULD'VE BEEN FIXED A LONG TIME AGO BY THE DEALER. BRAKES AND STEERING DID NOT WORK, CAR FROZE,CAUSING ME TO GO OFF THE ROAD: REPAIR MECH ANIC SAID,'TIMING BELT". MAINTENANCE WAS DONE 2 MO. PRIOR AT DEALER. THE DEALER SERVICE STATION SHOULD HAVE INSPECTED THE TIMING BELT. EVEN SO THE CAR SHOULD NO T FREEZE B/C OF A TIMING BELT- BRAKES AND STEERING ARE VITAL TO A VEHICLES SAFET Y WITHOUT THESE AIRBAGS AND SEATBELTS ARE JUST CUSHIONS FOR ACCIDENTS WAITING TO HAPPEN. MANUFACTURERS SHOULD FIX THIS SAFETY PROBLEM TO PREVENT CRASHES INSTEAD OF FOCUSING ON CRASH SAFETY. I LOST A CAR BUT I'M LUCKY TO BE ALIVE FROM THIS H ORRIFYING ORDEAL. I WANT AT LEAST REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE CAR FROM EITHER THE MANU FACTURER OR THE DEALER.*AK
