FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE DIFFICULT STARTING THE HONDA, IT HAPPENED MORE THAN TEN TIMES. IT ONLY HAPPEN WHEN THE CAR IS WARM - NEVER A COLD MORNING. YOU CAN FORCE IT TO START BY PUTTING MORE GAS THRU THE ACCELERATOR. BUT WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE IT WILL DIE ON THE ROLLING. THIS ALMOST CAUSED ME AN ACCIDENT. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER, THE HONDA DEALER CANNOT FIND ANY THING WRONG WITH IT. I SEARCH ON THE DATABASE AND IT MIGHT BE RELATED TO A VAPOR LOCK ISSUE WITH THE HONDA ACCORD 2000 V6. (ODI-719977). PLEASE INVESTIGATE AND ISSUE SOME HAZARD WARNING TO THE PUBLIC.

TIRES
MY SON'S 2000 HONDA ACCORD IS FITTED WITH FOUR BRIDGESTONE BLIZZAK TIRES FOR WINTER DRIVING. I SUGGESTED THAT THEY BE INFLATED TO 32 PSI AS INDICATED ON THE DOOR FRAME PLATE. THE INSTALLER INSISTS, HOWEVER, THAT THEY SHOULD BE RUN 5 PSI LOWER (I.E. 27 PSI) THAN NOMINAL. I THINK THAT RUNNING AT THE LOWER PRESSURE IS DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY IN NORTHERN VERMONT WHERE FRIGID TEMPERATURES DROP TIRE PRESSURES EVEN LOWER. THE TIRE MANUFACTURER'S CONSUMER WEBSITE HAS BEEN UNRESPONSIVE. PLEASE ADVISE WHERE I CAN GET EXPERT ADVICE ON THIS MATTER.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, MY CAR ACCELERATED, SKID ON ICE AND HIT A TREE. I PUT IT IN DRIVE BUT AGAIN THE CAR WENT OUT OF CONTROL. I COULD NOT CONTROL ITS SPEED, AND BRAKING WAS INEFFECTIVE. IT COULD NOT BE STOPPED. I WENT THROUGH THE BACK WALL OF OUR GARAGE, CAUSING GREAT DAMAGE.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:CARBURETOR SYSTEM
I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 4 CYLINDER, 2000 HONDA ACCORD, LX WITH 35000 MILES ON IT. THE NEXT DAY, I NOTICED THAT THE GAS PEDAL WAS NOT RESPONDING TO SLIGHT FOOT PRESSURE WHEN THE CAR WAS FIRST USED IN THE MORNING. IT SEEMED TO BE STICKING AND THEN SUDDENLY RESPOND TO FOOT PRESSURE. BECAUSE OF THIS CONDITION, THE CAR WOULD SUDDENLY LURCH FORWARD WHEN PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHO TOLD ME IT WAS AN INHERENT PROBLEM WITH THE 2000 ACCORD AND TOLD ME THERE WAS NO REMEDY OR RECALL FOR THE PROBLEM. THEY DIDN'T TELL ME THAT WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR. I THEN TOOK THE CAR TO A LOCAL AUTO SERVICE BUSINESS WHOM I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH FOR OVER 15 YEARS. THEY TOLD ME THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY A BUILD-UP OF CARBON ON THE ACCELLERATOR LINKAGE- ESPECIALLY IN THE 2000 HONDA. I HAD HIM CLEAN THE DEPOSIT ($60 PLUS $4.50 FOR CARBON SOLVENT) WHICH IMMEDIATELY REMEDIED THE STICKING. HE TOLD ME THAT IT SHOULD BE DONE EVERY 10K MILES OR WHEVER IT BECOMES STICKY AGAIN. I REALLY BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND HONDA SHOULD COME UP WITH A CORRECTION AND RECALL OF ALL 2000 ACCORDS THAT MAY BE AFFECTED. DO I HAVE ANY RECOURSE WITH HONDA? HAVE YOU RECEIVED ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS? ANY SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THANK YOU.

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK, SEAT BELTS:FRONT:ANCHORAGE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE MORENO VALLEY HONDA AND SPREEN HONDA REGARDING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AND WE WERE TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS FINE. MY HUSBAND OWNS A TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOP AND HAD TO TELL SPREEN HONDA WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I FINALLY CALLED HONDA'S MAIN OFFICE AND IT TOOK THEM ABOUT A WEEK TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. HOME OFFICE CONTACTED THE DEALER AND REQUESTED THE TRANSMISSION BE REPLACED. SPREEN HONDA HAD THE CAR FOR SEVERAL WEEKS AND DID NOT OFFER RENTAL CAR OR REIMBURSEMENT. TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE ALL AROUND. MY HUSBAND COULD HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM BUT THE CAR WAS ABOUT 2 YEARS OLD AND UNDER WARRANTY WHEN THE PROBLEMS STARTED TO OCCUR. THE BRAKES ARE CONSTANTLY SQUEEKING EVEN AFTER REPLACEMENT. THE MATERIAL ON THE REAR INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES HAS MELTED. PASSENGER SEAT BELTS ARE EXTREMELY TIGHT. THIS 2000 HONDA ACCORD SE HAS BEEN A TOTAL DISAPPOINTMENT. DT

AIR BAGS
THE DASHBOARD LIGHT LABELED "SRS" ILLUMINATED AROUND 34,500 MILES. ACCORDING TO THE PROVIDED OWNERS MANUAL THE ENTIRE SYSTEM IS NON-FUNCTIONAL AS INDICATED BY THE SRS LIGHT. I HAD THE SYSTEM EXAMINED BY THE DEALER AND THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A FAILED PASSENGER POSITION SENSOR, LOCATED WITHIN THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE DEALER FIXED EVERYTHING BUT THE SENSOR, CLAIMING THAT IT WAS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO REPAIR IT BECAUSE IT WASN'T COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. SEEING THAT THE AIRBAG SYSTEM IS OVERALL SAFETY OF THE CAR, WHICH COMPOSED A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF MY REASONING TO BUY THE VEHICLE I ADVISED THEM TO REPLACE THE PART, AT APPROXIMATELY $500 ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT IT WAS ON BACK ORDER. THE AIRBAG SYSTEM WILL NOT FUNCTION AS A RESULT OF THE FAILURE OF THIS POSITION SENSING COMPONENT AND SEVERELY COMPROMISES THE OVERALL SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE FOR ALL OCCUPANTS. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE COMPANY AND DID NOT HEAR ANYTHING UNTIL I PERSONALLY FOLLOWED UP, ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR, WHEN THE PART ARRIVED. CURRENTLY, MY SRS SYSTEM IS INOPERATIVE FROM NO FAULT OF MY OWN. I DON'T THINK THAT HONDA SHOULD MARKET, INSTALL AND SELL SUCH A SYSTEM IF THEY CAN NOT SEEM TO GET IT TO FUNCTION CORRECTLY FOR AT LEAST 35000 MILES IF THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO STAND BEHIND IT, ASIDE FROM THE FACT THE POSSIBILITY OF A SEVERE INJURY HAS NOW INCREASE BY AND EXPONENTIAL AMOUNT, WHAT CONSUMERS PAY TO PREVENT AND INSURANCE COMPANIES OFFER DISCOUNTS TO PROMOTE, DUE TO THE MALFUNCTION OF THE FACTORY INSTALLED DEFECTIVE COMPONENTS. SEEING THE FACT THAT THE SUPPLY IS INSUFFICENT TO MEET THE DEMAND FOR THE PART LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM, AND NOT THE ONLY WHOSE SAFETY OF BOTH PASSENGERS AND DRIVER A LIKE IS BEING COMPROMISED WITHOUT THE PROPER FUNCTION OF THE PURCHASED SYSTEM.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ALTERNATOR/GENERATOR/REGULATOR, AIR BAGS
ONE MONTH AFTER MY WARRANTY EXPIRED I HAD TWO MAJOR PROBLEMS. FIRST MY ALTERNATOR WAS COMPLETELY REPLACED AS SOON AS I STARTED GETTING SOME SOUND. THE VERY NEXT DAY I GOT A CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ON. WHICH RESULTED IN SOME EMISSION PARTS BEING ORDERED TO BE REPLACED TODAY WHEN I CAME OUT OF THE DELAERSHIP MY SRS INDICATOR STARTED TO DISPLAY . I HOPE THE AIRBAGS WONT MALFUNCTION...
