WELL I HAD PURCHASED THE CAR FROM A SELLER ON CRAIGSLIST . I HAD NOTICED A RED ILLUMINATED LIGHT READING SRS ON MY DASHBOARD I HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT IT WAS AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH OF WHAT THE WARNING SIGN WAS. RELIABLE SOURCE GIVEN STATED THAT READING INDICATED A POSSIBLE MALFUNCTION OF AIRBAGS PRESENT IN THE CAR

POWER TRAIN
I REALLY LOVE MY HONDA ACCORDS. I HAVE OWNED SEVERAL. THIS IS THE FIRST ONE I HAVE OWNED WITH OVER 125K MILES. IT WAS GIVEN TO ME BY MY MOTHER-IN-LAW. SHE OWNED IT FOR ABOUT 7 YEARS. IT START TO SEEM LIKE IT WAS A LITTLE OFF MECHANICALLY. SHE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE ISSUES WERE AND AFTER 7 YEARS SHE DIDN'T WANT TO PUT A TON OF MONEY INTO IT. SO SHE PARKED THIS ONE AND BOUGHT A NEW ONE. IT WAS PARKED FOR ABOUT 5 MONTHS BEFORE I STARTED DRIVING IT. SINCE IT WAS SITTING FOR A WHILE I DID CHANGE THE OIL AND MAKE SURE OTHER FLUIDS WERE TOPPED OFF. RIGHT AWAY, I NOTICE THE TRANSMISSION WAS SHIFTING HARD AND SLIPPING A LITTLE. SO I PULLED OVER AND CHECKED THE GRANNY FLUID WHICH WAS PERFECT! I JUST FIGURED MAYBE IT JUST NEEDED TO BE DRIVEN A LITTLE AND LUBE EVERYTHING UP AGAIN. I CHECKED THE FLUID DAILY WITH NO CHANGE TO THE LEVEL. A WEEK LATER IT'S STILL THE SAME. WITH NO IMPROVEMENT I DRAINED A LITTLE FLUID OUT AND ADDED LUCAS AS RECOMMENDED BY MY HONDA SERVICE TECH. STILL NO IMPROVEMENT. I RESEARCHED A LITTLE AND FOUND THAT THIS IS COMMON TO START HAVING ISSUES AROUND 150K MILES. THAT'S HARDLY ANY MILES FOR A HONDA! IN FURTHER RESEARCH I FIND THAT NEARLY EVERY HONDA FOR SALE IS BEING SOLD DUE TO THE START OF GRANNY PROBLEMS AND EVERY ONE THAT'S BEING PARTED OUT IS BEING PARTED OUT BECAUSE THE GRANNY WENT OUT. SO NO LUCK ON A USED GRANNY SWAP! I AM ABSOLUTELY SHOCKED THAT WITH THE EXCELLENT REPUTATION HONDA HAS THAT THIS HASN'T BEEN A PART OF A RECALL! I MEAN COME ON HONDA...I REALIZE THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE PART TO HAVE RECALLED, BUT WHEN YOUR REPUTATION GOES DOWN THE TOILET OVER THE 6TH GEN ACCORD TRANSMISSION...WHAT WILL EFFECT THE COMPANIES WORTH MORE? THE COST OF THIS BECOMING A RECALL AND REPLACING THESE TRANSMISSIONS OR THE DECLINE IN FUTURE SALES DUE TO NOT REPAIRING THE VEHICLES THAT PEOPLE PAY HARD EARNED MONEY FOR?!

STRUCTURE:BODY
WHILE CHANGING THE FRONT BRAKES ON MY CAR I NOTICED THE RIGHT REAR CORNER OF MY SUBFRAME WAS HEAVILY RUSTED. UPON CLOSER INSPECTION THE SUBFRAME HAS RUSTED THROUGH IN SEVERAL SPOTS. DIRECTLY BELOW THE AIR CONDITIONING DRAIN TUBE I WAS ABLE TO PUT A FINGER THROUGH THE METAL WITH LITTLE TO NO PRESSURE. THE LOCATION OF THIS DRAIN TUBE ALLOWS WATER TO DRIP DIRECTLY ONTO THE SUBFRAME. THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE SUBFRAME HAS BARELY ANY RUST ON IT AT ALL. SEARCHING THROUGH THE INTERNET I FOUND MANY REPORTS AND STORIES FROM OWNERS OF THE 1998 TO 2002 HONDA ACCORDS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. A WALK THROUGH A LOCAL JUNKYARD YESTERDAY PROVIDES FURTHER PROOF THAT THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW AND HONDA NEEDS TO RECTIFY THIS ISSUE PROMPTLY.
