VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
CAR ACCELERATED UNCONTROLLABLY. WAS FORCED TO SHUT ENGINE OFF. NEXT MORNING, CAR ACCELERATOR STUCK AGAIN, BUT CAR WAS IN PARK. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THE DEALER SAYS NOTHING SHOWS UP ON THE COMPUTER, SO THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO UNLESS THEY CAN DUPLICATE THE INCIDENT. I GUESS I'M SUPPOSED TO WAIT UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN AND THEN DRIVE AT FULL THROTLE TO THE DEALER!

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK
I WAS TRAVELLING AT LOW SPEEDS AND WAS GETTING READY TO APPLY MY BRAKES TO STOP AT AN INTERSECTION. I HIT A POTHOLE WITH MY PASSENGER SIDE FRONT TIRE AT ABOUT THE EXACT TIME I DEPRESSED BY BRAKE PEDAL. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT DOWN ALMOST TO FLOOR AND I HAD NO BRAKING WHATSOEVER. I STOPPED BY REAR-ENDING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES AND HAD HAD THEM INSPECTED WITH THE 30,000-MILE SERVICE A COUPLE OF DAYS EARLIER. SEEMS LIKE IT MAY HAVE HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH HITTING THE POTHOLE.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
2001 HONDA ACCORD LX V6 WITH ABS. BRAKE WENT BAD AT ABOUT 8500MILES, MASTER CYLINDER WAS REPLACE BY MATT CASTRUCCI HONDA COVERED BY WARRANTY. THE BRAKE FAILED AGAIN AT 20000 MILES 12/02. THERE WAS ALMOST NO BRAKE AT HIGHWAY SPEED. AND NEEDED TRIPLE THE DISTANCE TO STOP THE CAR AT RED LIGHT. AGAIN, IT WAS CHECKED AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER AND ABS MARGULATER HAD GONE BAD. IT WAS FIXED BY LOCAL MATT CASTRUCCI HONDA (937-439-7470) UNDER WARRANTY. WHO KNOWS IF IT IS REALLY FIXED OR NOT. I BOUGHT THE CAR PAID THOUSANDS EXTRA FOR SAFETY, NOW I AM A "TEST DRIVER" OF HONDA. TOTALLY DISAPOINTED.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
VEHICLE WAS LEAKING TRANSMISSION FLUID INITIALLY. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP. FIRST TIME DEALERSHIP SENT US HOME WITH A REALLY BAD TRANSMISSION LEAK FOR WEEKEND. INFORMED US NOT TO DRIVE MORE THAN 200 MILES. WE INFORMED THEM WE LIVE 60 MILES AWAY AND WOULD NEED TO GET HOME AND BACK TO DEALERSHIP ON MONDAY. NO RENTAL CAR WAS OFFERED. WHEN TAKEN BACK TO DEALER FOR REPAIRS THEY REPLACED DIFFERENTIAL. TWO WEEKS LATER WE NOTICED LEAKING AGAIN AND THE CAR WA SHIFTING FUNNY. WE TOOK THE CAR IN FOR REPAIRS. THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION. WE APPROACHED BOTH THE MANUFACTURER AND THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE TRANSMISSION, BOTH REFUSED. ABOUT A YEAR LATER I RECEIVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL REGARDING A WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR THE TRANSMISSION FOR ALL 2001 HONDA ACCORDS. APPARENTLY I WAS NOT THE ONLY CONSUMER WHO WAS SOLD A LEMON. DIMSII IVOQ ENTRY POSTED AFTER 12/12/02 CUT-OVER TO ARTEMIS------------------770780. *AK *NLM

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM
THE GAS PEDAL STICKS RANDOMLY, CAUSING UNWANTED RAPID ACCELERATION. HAPPENS ANYTIME, ANYWHERE WITHOUT WARNING. I HAVE COME VERY CLOSE TO HITTING MANY CARS IN PARKING LOTS AND WHILE DRIVING IN STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC. I FIRST NOTICED IT A COUPLE MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR, BUT THE DEALER SERVICE REP TOLD ME IT WOULD GO AWAY IN TIME. A YEAR LATER, I WAS STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAD MOVED BY THEN SO I CONTACTED A DIFFERENT DEALER, WEIR CANYON HONDA IN ANAHEIM HILLS, AND I HAD TO FIGHT WITH THE GUY AT SERVICE TO REPAIR IT UNDER WARRANTY. AFTER GETTING THE RECEIPT, I NOTICED THAT THEY HAD ONLY COMPLETED ONE OF THREE PROCEDURES THAT THEY EXPLAINED TO ME AND TRIED TO CHARGE ME FOR. AS I DROVE OUT OF THE SERVICE CENTER, IT GOT STUCK AGAIN AND I ALMOST HIT ONE OF THEIR NEW CARS (IF I HAD, MAYBE THEY WOULD BELIEVE ME). I PUT UP WITH IT FOR A COUPLE MORE MONTHS AND FINALLY TOOK IT BACK AGAIN. THEY TOLD ME THERE WOULD BE A CHARGE, ALTHOUGH THEIR SERVICE IS UNDER WARRANTY FOR 12 MONTHS OR 12000 MILES. I EXPLAINED THAT THE SERVICE MANAGER WAS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND HAD PROMISED TO DO WHATEVER NECESSARY TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THEY GRUDGINGLY AGREED TO PERFORM ALL THREE STEPS OF THEIR NORMAL SERVICE FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT TOLD ME IT WAS JUST A 'ONE TIME COURTESY' AND THAT FUTURE PROBLEMS WOULD BE MY RESPONSIBILITY. THE SERVICE REP INSISTED THAT 'HONDA DOES NOT MAKE PARTS THAT CAUSE SUCH PROBLEMS' AND ACCUSED ME OF CAUSING THE PROBLEM BY THE WAY I DRIVE. I HAVE MY CAR BACK, BUT I'M WONDERING IF AND WHEN IT WILL START HAVING PROBLEMS AGAIN, AND IF SO, WHETHER THEY WILL HONOR THEIR SERVICE WARRANTY.
