1987 Honda Accord Problems

NO SUMMARY. DT

NO SUMMARY.

THIS IS WITH REGARDS TO CAMPAIGNS 92V028000 AND 92V028001. BOTH CAMPAIGNS CALL FOR REPAIRS TO DAMAGED PART, BUT DON'T ADDRESS HOW LONG MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR REPAIRING SPECIFIC PART. IN THIS CASE IT IS THE FUEL FILLER TUBE AND BREATHER TUBE. HONDA OBVIOUSLY MUST HAVE CHANGED MANUFACTURING OR MATERIALS TO PREVENT FURTHER PROBLEMS, BUT THIS RECALL ONLY COVERS WHAT APPEARS TO BE A ONE TIME INSPECTION AND POSSIBLE REPAIR IF DAMAGE NOTICED. THE RECALLS ARE FROM 1992 AND 1993 FOR 1986 AND 1987 MODELS. PERSONALLY I HAVE A 1987 MODEL THAT NOW HAS 255,000 MILES. GRANTED, THIS VEHICLE IS OLD WITH HIGH MILEAGE, BUT A RECALL SUCH AS THIS SHOULD GO BEYOND A ONE TIME INSPECTION TO ADDRESS DEFECTIVE PARTS OR MANUFACTURING METHODS WITH A PERMANENT RESOLUTION. *JB

THE VEHICLE'S GAS FILLER PIPE RUSTED. *NM CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER : 92V028000 DUE TO THE AGE AND MILEAGE OF THE CONSUMERS VEHICLE HONDA MOTOR COMPANY REFUSED TO ASSIST WITH THE COST OF REPAIRS. *TC

WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH VEHICLE ACCELERATED UP TO A HIGH AMOUNT OF SPEED WITHOUT THROTTLE APPLICATION. SPEED COULD HAVE BEEN AS HIGH AS 100 MPH IF DRIVER HAD NOT CONTINUE TO APPLY THE BRAKES. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP FOUND THE THROTTLE BODY BROKEN. THROTTLE BODY HAS BEEN REPLACED. *AK *ML

UNCONTROLLABLE ACCELERATION, ACCORDING TO MECHANICS WAS EVIDENTLY CAUSE BY WEAR OR SUDDEN MALFUNCTION IN THE THROTTLE ASSEMBLY, A SNAPPED BELT OR CABLE THAT MIGHT ACCOUNT FOR THE BRIEF, REPETITIVE SOUND UNDER THE HOOD IMMEDIATELY BEFOR THE ACCELERATION.

HEADLIGHT WIRING SHORTED, CAUSING HEADLIGHTS TO FAIL. THIS FAILURE IS CAUSED BY REPEATED BENDING OF THE WIRING BY THE MOTORIZED HEADLIGHTS.

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, PULLED TURN SIGNAL LEVER TO DIM HEADLIGHTS; INSTEAD, DRIVER'SFINGERS SLIPPED AND CAUGHT TOP EDGE OF LEVER, THE SPRIING IN LEVER PULLED THE LEVER BACK TURNING OFF THE HEADLIGHTS ENTIRELY, RESULTING IN LOSS OF CONTROL/ CRASH. * *AK

WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 60 MPH THE LEFT FRONT TIRE EXPERIENCED TREAD SEPARATION. THE DEALER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM (GENERAL TIRE 185-70R13). *TS *NLM

COOPER, LIFELINER CLASSIC II TIRES, DOT#U9E8CU9410 , 18570R13; WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED VEHICLE WAS VIBRATING HARD, TIRE TREAD SEPARATED, KNOCKING OFF FRONT BUMPER. *AK THE CONSUMER WAS TRAVELING AT 65 MPH WHEN THE TIRE TREAD SEPARATED AND LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHICH RESULTED IN DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS NO INJURIES. *YH

VEHICLE NOT DESIGNED WITH A CLUTCH INTERLOCK SAFETY SWITCH, ALLOWING VEHICLE TO START WHILE IN GEAR.

WATER PUMP AND THERMOSTAT FAILED, CAUSING VEHICLE TO OVERHEAT WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. ALSO, BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, AND BRAKES DIDN'T HOLD.*AK

VEHICLE RAN INTO GARGE DOOR DUE TO APPLYING BRAKE PEDAL AND ACCELERATOR PEDAL AT SAME TIME. BELIEVED PROBLEM WAS DUE TO BOTH PEDALS DESIGNED TOO CLOSE TOGETHER. FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS ON THIS MATTER. *AK

PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. I THINK THERE MAY BE A PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES I AM A LOCAL MECHANIC AND I HAVE SEEN THIS MANY TIMES ON MOST ACCORDS THAT HAVE BEEN DRIVEN DOWN FROM THE NORTH. I PURCHASED MY ACCORD USED AND SURE ENOUGH I HAVE COMPONET FAILURE. MY ACCORD WAS ORIGNALY PURCHASSED IN WEST VIRGINA. THE COMPONET THAT FAILES IS THE RIGHT OR LEFT REAR UPPER BALL JOINT THAT IS POSITIONED ON THE UPPER LINK THAT HOLDES THE UPPER SUPPORT FOR THE HUB, IT SEEMS THIS IS A COMPONET THAT FAILES ONLY WHEN EXPOSED TO NORTHERN WEATHER CONDITIONS, IF ANY ADDIONAL INFORMATION IS NEED PLEASE SEND E-MAIL OR FEEL FREE TO CALL ME AT MY WORK PHONE NUMBER, I HAVE NOT REPAIRED THIS CONDITION YET HOWEVER IF I DO I WILL SAVE ALL FAILED COMPONETS, THANKYOU FOR YOU TIME, IF THIS CONCERN IS NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY AND HAS BEEN INVETAGATED PLEASE RESPOND, THANKS AGAIN, TYLER FAHLMAN. *AK
