UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY CAR (1996, HONDA ACCORD EX) WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY AFTER THE LAST TIME IT WAS DRIVEN PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT. THE NEXT WE NOTICED WAS THE CAR WAS ROLLED OFF THE DRIVEWAY (IN REVERSE) AND HAD CLIMBED THE CURB (BOTH REAR AND FRONT WHEELS) AND ENDED UP ON THE LAWN OF THE HOUSE ACROSS THE STREET FROM OUR HOUSE. ADDITIONALLY THE CARS GEAR WAS NOT IN PARK (MY SON WHO DROVE THE CAR BACK TO OUR DRIVEWAY FROM THE LAWN FAILED TO NOTICE IN HIS HASTE AND EXCITEMENT WHAT THE GEAR WAS IN). ADDITIONALLY NOW THE CARS GEAR CAN BE SWITCHED WITHOUT THE FOOT ON THE BRAKE. ALSO, THE IGNITION KEY CAN BE TURNED AND THE CAR STARTED WITHOUT THE FOOT ON THE BRAKE. FORTUNATELY NOBODY WAS HURT IN THE INCIDENT.

VISIBILITY:GLASS, SIDE/REAR, EQUIPMENT
GOOD AFTERNOON, I HAVE A 1996 HONDA ACCORD LX 4 DOORS. THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW USE TO WORK FINE, AND AS TIME WENT BY, IT BEGAN TO ROLL UP VERY SLOWLY, ABOUT 10 SECONDS. NOW, IT WOULDN'T ROLL UP ANYMORE. MY WINDOW IS STILL DOWN RIGHT NOW. I BELIEVE IT WORKS FINE ROLLING DOWN, BUT IT CANT ROLL BACK UP. I'VE SEARCHED ONLINE FOR WHAT THE POSSIBLE REASONS ARE, AND I CAME UPON SEVERAL FORUMS WHERE PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS ME. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A RECALL ON THIS WINDOW PROBLEM SOON. *AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I OWN A 1996 HONDA ACCORD AND IT HAS BEEN A RELIABLE CAR UNTIL RECENTLY. IT HAS BEEN REGULARLY MAINTED. I WAS DRIVING TO WORK WHEN THE CAR KEPT ACTING LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL WHEN I HIT THE GAS. IT FINALLY STALLED WHILE I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AT 55 MILES PER HOUR. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE HONDA DEALER AND SPENDING $300 FOR REPAIRS WHICH INCLUDED REPLACEMENT OF SPARK PLUGS, FUEL INDUCTION SERVICE AND THROTTLE BODY CLEANING, THE CAR WAS STILL NOT REPAIRED. AFTER THE CAR WOULD NOT START, I MYSELF REPLACED THE DISTRIBUTOR CAP, ROTOR AND IGNITION COIL. IT IS NOW SITTING AT A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO FIGURED OUT THE PROBLEM WAS THE DISTRIBUTOR ASSEMBLY. SO $1,000.00 LATER MY CAR IS FIXED BUT I STILL FEEL VERY UNSAFE DRIVING IT AND WILL NEVER TRUST IT AGAIN.*AK

ABS IS FAILING DUE TO FLUID LEAK AND LACK OF PRESSURE. THIS CAR IS RELATIVELY YOUNG AND SHOULD NOT BE EXPERIENCING THIS TYPE OF DEFECT. THE NUMBER OF RELATED POSTINGS FOR THIS PROBLEM WOULD INDICATE A SITUATION DESERVING FURTHER INVESTIGATION. LOSS OF ABS CAN RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL AND CONSIDERABLE INJURY.*AK
