ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
CRANKSHAFT BOLT APPEARS TO BE SHEARED OFF. THAT HELD THE PULLY IN PLACE WHICH HOLDS ON THE TIMING CHAIN AND 2 OTHER BELTS. I CONTACTED THE HONDA CORPORATION WHO WAS IN TOUCH WITH WILDE HONDA AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NO DEFECT WITH THE BOLT. I HAVE SPOKEN TO MANY OTHER MECHANICS AND THEY HAVE SAID THAT IT IS MOST LIKELY DUE TO THE FACTORY TORQUEING THE BOLT DOWN TO TIGHT WHICH MAY HAVE CAUSED A STRESS FRACTURE. WILDE HONDA ALSO SAID THAT IT WAS DUE TO THE AIR INTAKE FILTER BEING CHANGED AND THE TIRES BEING WORN. I FIND THAT HARD TO BELIEVE AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT ,THATIS HIGHLY UNLIKELY. WOULD YOU PLEASE CHECK INTO THIS AND LET ME KNOW IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER CASES LIKE THIS. THANK YOU. *AK

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD
WHILE TRAVELING IN GERMANY (US ARMY) AT SAFE CRUISING SPEEDS AVERAGING 100 TO 115 MPH (NORMAL FOR GERMANY), THE BLACK TRIM AROUND THE WINDSHIELD CAME LOOSE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE FROM BOTTOM TO TOP AND WAS FLAPPING IN THE WIND. NOTICED THE PASSANGER SIDE TRIM WAS ALSO COMING LOOSE. DEPENDING UPON SPEED, IT WAS HITTING DRIVERS WINDOW. INCIDENT WAS SURPRISING AND COULD HAVE SHOCKED THE DRIVER INTO AN ACCIDENT. IT APPEARS THE TRIM WAS GLUED AND NOTCHED SO IT COULD NOT COME LOOSE BUT LEFT ENOUGH HANGING OVER THE PAINTED AREAS TO BE CAUGHT BY THE WIND. APPEARS TO HAVE FAILED. GOING TO SEE LOCAL DEALER TOMORROW FOR REPAIR. ALTHOUGH MY CAR WAS BOUGHT IN MD, AAFES SELLS THE SAME HONDA ACCORD HERE TO THE MILITARY. HAD TO USE DUCT TAPE AND REDUCE SPEED TO MAKE IT HOME WITHOUT FURTHER DAMAGE.*AK
