IT CAUSED ME TO GO THROUGH A RED LIGHT I WAS AFRAID TO SHUT IT OFF FOR FEAR IT WOULD ROLL ON ME SO I PUT THE CAR IN N THE CAR WAS STILL MOVING AND RACING LIKE A RACE CAR THEN IT SLOWED AND I WAS ABLE TO USE THE BRAKE, BUT WHEN I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE THE CAR WENT RIGHT UP TO 45 I HAD ABOUT 15 MILES FROM HOME TO ALL THE WAY HOME IT STAYED AT 45 UNLESS I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKES, THIS HAPPEN AT 2:00AM.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY PRIMARY CONCERN IS THE ENGINE TROUBLE WITH MY 1999 ACCORD. WHEN I NEED TO ACCELERATE THE CAR "MISFIRES" ACCORDING TO THE GRESHAM HONDA DEALERSHIP. THIS IS WHERE THE CAR IS BEING SERVICED. CONTACT NAME AND NUMBER WOULD BE MARK CAWTHORN @ 503-676-7070. I AM VERY HESITANT TO PULL OUT IN TRAFFIC AT ANY SPEED BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW WHEN MY CAR WILL MISFIRE. AT TIMES THE ACCELERATION STICKS AT BOTH 2-3RPMS. BASICALLY, THERE IS NO ACCELERATION. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NO LONGER COMES ON WHEN THE CAR HESITATES. THE FIRST TWO TIMES THAT THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP THE CHECK LIGHT DID COME ON. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY ON IT'S 5TH STAY WITH HONDA. THEY(HONDA AND THEIR TECHNICIANS) SEEM TO HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. HOPEFULLY THE PROBLEM WILL BE RESOLVED EASILY AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, QUICKLY. I'D HATE TO BE THE CAUSE OF AN ACCIDENT. EQUALLY AS IMPORTANT, I HAVE HAD A FAILURE WITH MY ABS. WHILE THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT, I BARELY STOPPED AT THE INTERSECTION WHILE BRAKES LOCKED UP ON PAVEMENT. I HAVE HAD PASSENGERS IN MY VEHICLE ON SUCH OCCASIONS AND EACH WOULD BE WILLING TO GIVE TESIMONIES TO SUCH FAILURES AS LISTED ABOVE. IN FACT, THE HONDA TECHNICIAN HAS ALSO EXPERIENCED THE "MISFIRE" FIRST HAND IN MY ACCORD. I MAY BE A LITTLE DIFFICULT TO REACH WITH COLLEGE AND TWO JOBS BUT PLEASE FEEL FREE TO LEAVE MESSAGES AT EITHER PHONE NUMBER. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME, AMBER WEIMERSKIRCH. *AK (TIRESIZE: W-10)

SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:POWER ADJUST
I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT. I WAS SITTING IN STOPPED TRAFFIC WHEN AN SUV REAR ENDED ME GOING ABOUT 40 TO 45 MPH . IT THEN SENT ME INTO A TRUCK THAT WAS STOPPED IN FRONT OF ME. MY SEAT THE DRIVERS SIDE COLAPSED AND I ENDED UP LAYING FLAT IN THE BACK SEAT. AFTER TALKING TO THE BODY SHOP I FOUND OUT ALL THE GEARS IN THE POWER SEAT WERE STRIPPED CAUSING BACK INJURY. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS SHOULD HAVE NEVER COLASPED. I HAVE CONTACTED THE HONDA DEALER ALONG WITH HONDA CONSUMER RELATION AND THE SAFETY COUNCIL AND RECEIVED NO SATISFACTION THEY ALL JUST PASSED THE BUCK BACK TO ONE ANOTHER IT WAS A VICIOUS CIRCLE.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:MASTER CYLINDER
I WAS GOING DOWN HILL ON A FOUR LANE HIGHWAY IN TOWN AND GAVE A SIGNAL TO TURN RIGHT ONTO A STREET. I PUT THE BRAKE ON AND AS I WAS TURNING ONTO THE STREET THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. A TRUCK WAS COMING THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION WHEN I TURNE THE CORNER AND I TURNED LEFT INTO SOME BUSHES AND ROCKS TO MISS IT. THE POLICE OFFICER AND THE WRECKER DRIVER TRIED THE BRAKES AND SAID THE BRAKES WERE OUT. I THEN HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER TO HAVE REPAIRED UNDER WARRENTY AND THE SERVICE MANGAGER SAID HE COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. I PICKED THE CAR UP AND HAD MY BROTHER IN LAW DRIVE THE CAR HOME. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT DOWN ON HIM BEFORE HE GOT THE CAR HOME. MY SON IS AN ASE CERTIFIED MECHANIC AND REPAIRED THE BRAKES. HE SAID THE WHEEL HAD NOT BEEN OFF THE VEHICLE AS THE BRAKE DRUMS WERE STILL RUSTED ONTO THE REAR AXLE. HE ADJUSTED THE REAR BRAKES, CHECKED THE FRONT BRAKE PADS AND INSTALLED A NEW MASTER CYLINDER. THE BRAKES SEEM TO BE WORKING FINE NOW. IT COST MY INSURANCE COMPANY $4100.00 TO REPAIR THE BODY DAMAGE TO THE CAR. I THINK THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER WARRENTY. YOUR HELP WITH THIS MATTER WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.*AK

FOR NO APPARENT REASON MY CAR STOPS WHILE DRIVING. THIS ENGINE SHUTS DOWN FORCING ME TO MAKE AN EMERGENCY STOP WHETHER I AM DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY OR SURFACE STREETS. THIS HAS HAPPENED REPEATEDLY AND REGARDLESS OF THE SPEED AT WHICH I AM DRIVING. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE AUTO REPARI SHOP EACH TIME IT HAS OCCURRED OVER THE LAST 2 WEEKS, FOR A TOTAL OF 7 TIMES. EACH TIME THE CAR IS PROBED AND DIAGNOSTIC TESTING IS CONDUCTED BUT STILL THE PROBLEM CANNOT BE IDENTIFIED.
