DRIVER'S FRONT AND REAR AND PASSENGER'S REAR TIRE HAD BLOWOUTS. THEY WERE MANUFACTURED BY MICHELIN. ANGLE OF THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE WINDSHIELD CAUSES A GLARE FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS WHICH RESULTS IN VISUAL DIFFICULTY, AND MAY CAUSE A CRASH. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ENGINE HESTITATES/LURCHES FORWARD AT ANY SPEED WHEN USING REGULAR UNLEADED GASOLINE. PROBLEM LESS FREQUENT WHEN USING PREMIUM GAS, BUT IS CAUSING CARBON BUILDUP ON THROTTLE BODY OVER TIME, WHICH LEADS TO THE ACCELERATOR STICKING. LOCAL DEALER STATED THEY HAVE BEEN AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM. DEALER SUGGESTED LOWER GRADE GASOLINE TO PREVENT CARBON BUILDUP. DEALER OFFERED NO EXPLAINATION WHY ENGINE IS HESITATING.*AK

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I BELIEVE THE GAS PEDAL AND BRAKE ARE PLACED TO CLOSE TOGETHER CAUSING RAPID ACCERLATION.SIMILAR TO THE 1980 'S PROBLEM FOUND ON THE AUDI 5000.THIS MAY HAVE CAUSED THE RECENT ACCIDENT OF THE NY NURSES WHO DIED RECENTLY WHEN THEIR CAR WENT OF THE TOP OF THE PARKING GARAGE.*AK

THESE TIRES FLATTEN OUT LIKE THE OLD BIAS PLY TIRES, AND FEEL LIKE YOU ARE DRIVING ON A WASHBOARD FOR THE FIRST COUPLE OF MILES. THIS GENERALLY HAPPENS AFTER THE CAR SITS FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS. I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED THIS WITH ANY OTHER RADIAL EVER. I HAVE OWNED AT LEAST 22 AUTOMOBILES WITH VARIOUS BRANDS OF RADIALS, AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P195/65R15 )

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
A BANGING NOISE FROM THE ENGINE AND A VIBRATION ARE EXPERIENCED EVERY TIME WHEN I START THE ENGINE. THIS IS A DESIGN DEFECT, SINCE THE DEALER LET ME TEST DROVE SEVERAL NEW HONDA CARS IN STOCK AND EVERY 1999 AND 2000 YEAR NEW HONDA ACCORD LX HAS THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE NOISE AND VIBRATION LOOSE SCREWS AND CONNECTIONS FOR THE LONG RUN. SOME OF THOUSANDS OF SCREWS AND CONNECTIONS IN A CAR MAY DROP OUT SOME DAY AND CAUSE ACCIDENT.

SUSPENSION
A BANGING NOISE AND A VIBRATION ARE EXPERIENCED WHEN THE ENGINE IS STARTED. IT HAPPENS IN EVERY NEW HONDA ACCORD LX 1999 AND 2000 YEAR CAR AS THE DEALER LET ME TESTED THESE CARS IN STOCK. IT IS NOT ONLY UNCOMFORTABLE BUT ALSO DANGEROUS BECAUSE NOISE AND VIBRATION LOOSES SCREWS AND CONNECTIONS FOR THE LONG RUN. IF THIS IS NOT CORRECTED, SOME CONNECTIONS MAY DROP AND CAUSE ACCIDENTS.*AK
