CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN AT 20 MPH WHEN ENGINE RACED AND THE CAR COASTED TO A STOP. THE SHIFT LEVER MOVED THROUGH ALL POSITIONS BUT CAR DID NOT MOVE IN FORWARD OR REVERSE. CAR WAS TOWED AND THE DIAGNOSIS WAS THAT THE FRONT DRUM OF THE TRANSMISSION HAD COMPLETELY BROKEN DOWN. TRANSMISSION WAS TOTALLY REBUILT AT A COST OF $1950. THIS WAS THE REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION INSTALLED BY HONDA AT 40,000 MILES UNDER WARRANTY AFTER THE ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION FAILED. *TR

I EXPERIENCED A TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT 130000 MILES ON A 2001 HONDA ACCORD, A CAR THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE KNOWN FOR RELIABILITY. I WAS MAKING A LEFT-HAND TURN AT THE TIME AND THE UNEXPECTED FAILURE OF MY CAR TO SWITCH INTO A HIGHER GEAR NEARLY RESULTING IN A DEADLY COLLISION WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC, LUCKY THE OTHER VEHICLES HAS SUFFICIENT TIME TO REACT, AND I WAS ABLE TO AVOID DAMAGE. HOWEVER, THIS PROBLEM HAS ME CONCERNED WITH THE RELIABILITY THE HONDA CORPORATION CLAIMS TO HAVE. THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF A BLATANTLY OBVIOUS PROBLEM WITH HONDA VEHICLES THAT MAY WELL END IN DEATH, OR SERIOUS PERSONAL EXPENSE. *TR

SUSPENSION, STEERING, STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS:UNDERBODY SHIELDS
I HAD MY 01 HONDA ACCORD EX RECENTLY INSPECTED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THEY FOUND A RUSTY HOLE (SIZE OF A QUARTER) ON THE TOPSIDE OF THE SUBFRAME ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THEY STATED, THAT OTHER THAN THIS SMALL RUSTED AREA, THE REST OF THE SUBFRAME AND CAR BODY WAS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND COMPLETELY FREE OF RUST. MECHANIC STATED, AIR CONDITIONING UNIT IS DRAINING ON THIS AREA OF THE SUBFRAME AND THIS COULD BE UNDER RECALL. THEY SAID THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS AND SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, THE SUBFRAME SHOULD BE REPLACED ASAP, AND RECOMMENDED I TAKE IT TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR RECALL ISSUES. TOOK IT TO MIKE PRUITT HONDA AKRON,OH FOR INSPECTION (FOR THIS ISSUE), THEY PUT IT ON A LIFT AND FROM UNDERNEATH SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND A HOLE IN THE SUBFRAME. I TOLD THEM, THE RUST HOLE IS ONLY VISIBLE ON THE TOPSIDE OF THE PASSENGERSIDE SUBFRAME. THEY FOUND A SMALL HOLE (WHERE I MENTIONED), SAID IT WASN'T A SAFETY ISSUE, AND THERE WEREN'T ANY RECALLS FOR THIS ISSUE. THEY DENIED IT WAS CAUSED BY THE AIR CONDITIONING LEAKING ON THAT PART OF THE SUBFRAME, YET COULDN'T GIVE ME AN ALTERNATE REASON.THEY WERE EVASIVE AND DISHONEST AND TOLD THEM I'M GOING TO ANOTHER DEALER. I BROUGHT IT TO PARK HONDA FOR THEIR INSPECTION, THEY FOUND THE RUST HOLE, AND RECOMMENDED THE ENTIRE SUBFRAME BE REPLACED AT THE COST OF $2250.00. THEY EVADED ANSWERING WHAT CAUSED THIS ISSUE (AIR-CONDITIONING LEAKING ON SUBFRAME) . I HAD THEM DO THIS WORK AND IN THE MEANTIME,I WILL CONSULT A LAWYER. *TR
