ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
I HAVE REASON TO BELIEVE THE ACCORD I PURCHASED IS UNSAFE. THERE IS A HESITATION AT 40 MPH. I FEEL UNSAFE IN THIS VEHICLE, AND THAT IF SOMEONE WERE FOLLOWING TO CLOSELY WHEN THE HESITATION OCCURS AND MY CARS SPEED DECREASES THEN I AM SUBJECT TO POSSIBLY BE REAR ENDED POTENTIALLY CAUSING MYSELF OR PASSENGERS TO BE INJURED. I WAS NEVER TOLD OF THIS SO CALLED NORMAL FUNCTION AS HONDA HAS STATED. I FEEL AS THOUGH I SHOULD HAVE BEEN TOLD AND THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN MISREPRESENTED, AND THAT I AT THAT TIME COULD HAVE OPTED TO PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE. HONDA REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING, I HAVE SPOKEN TO AND WRITTEN ABOUT THIS TO THEM. THANK YOU. *AK

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY
ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASSIONS MY CAR WOULD NOT START. I HAD TO MAKE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS AND EVENTUALLY IT WOULD START BUT WOULD NOT STAY RUNNING UNLESS I KEPT GIVING IT GAS. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY THE WINTER FUEL FORMULA. THIS WAS CAUSING A BOILING OF THE FUEL AND A VAPOR LOCK CONDITION. HE ALSO SAID HONDA WAS AWARE THAT THIS WAS HAPPENING ONLY IN THE V6 AND THEY WERE WORKING ON A FIX. TO DATE I HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED BY HONDA OR MY DEALER THAT A FIX IS AVAILABLE.

#719977March 11, 2000
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
HONDA ADMITS A PROBLEM WITH THE 2000 REDESIGN OF THEIR V6 ENGINES. THIS CAUSES A VAPOR LOCK TYPE PROBLEM, WHICH HAS CAUSED MY CAR TO BE DIFFICULT TO START ON 7 OCCASIONS. ON ONE OCCASION, THE CAR STARTED BUT THEN DIED AGAIN AS I BACKED OUT OF A PARKING SPACE, WHICH COULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT IF THERE HAD BEEN ONCOMING TRAFFIC. HONDA TOLD ME THAT THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM DURING A SERVICE ON JANUARY 31, 2000. WHEN I REPORTED THAT THE CAR STILL HAS PROBLEMS, I WAS TOLD THAT THE PREVIOUS FIX WAS NOT THE DEFINITIVE FIX AFTER ALL. THEY SAY THEY ARE WAITING FOR EPA APPROVAL OF THE DEFINITIVE FIX. IF THIS IS TRUE, THEY SHOULD BE FORCED TO ISSUE A RECALL, NOT JUST A SERVICE BULLETIN, SINCE A SAFETY HAZARD EXISTS WHEN THE CAR DIES IN TRAFFIC. *AK
