ENGINE CHECK LIGHT CAME ON FOR THE SECOND TIME WITHIN A YEAR. THE FIRST TIME I WAS TOLD THAT THE COMPUTER WAS TOO SENSITIVE AND THEY HAD TO ORDER A NEW COMPUTER - WAIT WAS APPROX 3-4 MONTHS. THIS HAPPENED AT 3600 MILES AND WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. LESS THAN A YEAR LATER THE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT CAME ON, AND THE DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS OXYGEN SENSOR AND IT HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM IS UNRELIABLE FOR THIS TO HAPPEN WITHIN 53K MILES.*AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
HEARD A GRINDING NOISE FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR. UPON INVESTIGATION AT THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID IT NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION. I HAVE LOST FAITH IN THE QUALITY OF HONDA. I AM GOING GET THE NEW TRANSMISSION PUT IN TOMORROW. I WILL POST ABOUT THAT EXPERIENCE LATER (I HOPE IT IS GOOD). HOWEVER, BECAUSE MY WARRANTY IS GOING TO RUN OUT IN LESS THAN 3000 MILES, I NEED AN EXTENDED POWER TRAIN WARRANTY FROM HONDA. IF HONDA DOES NOT COME AROUND, I WILL TRADE THIS CARR AND NEVER BUY ANOTHER HONDA IN MY LIFE AND I WILL NEVER RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE I DO NOT CONSIDER AS MY ENEMY.*AK

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN. WE BOUGHT A NEW 2000 MODEL YEAR HONDA ACCORD IN NOV. 1999. AT 22K MILES (MAY-JULY 2001), THE GAS PEDAL GIT STUCK WHEN THE CAR WAS NOT USED FOR A WHILE, LIKE FIRST THING IN THE MORNING. WE HAD TO STEP ON IT HARD AND RELEASED QUICKLY. THEN IT WAS GOOD FOR THE REST OF THE DAY. WE REPORT THIS TO THE DEALER (LEITH HONDA). THEY FIXED IT AND I HAVE THE REPORT. A FEW MONTHS AGO THIS PROBLEM RE-OCCURED. WE HAVE ABOUT 44K MILES NOW. LEITH HONDA CHARGED ME $85 TO FIX IT. THEY DID NOT CHARGE US THE FIRST TIME. THEIR REASON IS THAT MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THIS STICKY GAS PEDAL PROBLEM IS CAUSED BY GASOLINE. THEY FURTHER CLAIMED THAT ALL OTHER VEHICLES HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM BECAUSE OF THE GASOLINE. THEY TOLD ME THAT I HAVE TO BRING THE CAR IT AND CLEAN THE THROTTLE BODY ON A REGULAR BASIS. OTHERWISE THIS STICKY GAS PEDAL PROBLEM WILL CONTINUE TO OCCUR. I HAVE SO MANY CAR IN THE LAST 25 YEARS AND NEVER HEARD OF THIS KIND OF NEWS. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY CAUSED BY THE STICKY GAS PEDAL. WHAT WOULD YOU RECOMMEND ME TO DO TO FIX THE PROBLEM? I HAVE NAMES OF THE SERVICE MANAGER AND MECHANIC WHO PERFORMED THE "CLEANING". I ALSO HAVE REPORT ON HAND WHICH SHOW THE "REPAIR" WORK. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU NEED MORE INFO AND FACT. THANKS FOR YOUR LOOKING INTO THIS MATTER. BEST RAGARDS, KIEN. *AK
