1993 Honda Accord Body & structure Problems
Owner-reported complaints naming the body or structure system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Body & structure reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

DEAR SIR: OVER THE COURSE OF SEVERAL MONTHS BOTH REAR WINDOWS DEVELOPED A CLICKING NOISE. WHEN A MECHANIC INVESTIGATED, HE REPORTED THAT THE TAKEUP REELS IN THE CABLE ASSEMBLIES WERE DEFECTIVE. UPON CONTACTING THE DEALER, HE WAS QUOTED A PRICE FOR THE PART IN EXCESS OF $250.00 PER UNIT. THIS SEEMS QUITE EXCESSIVE CONSIDERING WE DO NOT HAVE SMALL CHILDREN WHO MIGHT PLAY WITH THE WINDOWS. IN FACT, THESE TWO WINDOWS RECEIVED ONLY NOMINAL USE DURING THE TIME WE HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE. ACCORDING TO THE MACHENIC WHO NORMALLY INSPECTS OUR CAR, THERE IS A REQUIREMENT IN PA THAT REAR WINDOWS, WHERE SO EQUIPED, MUST FUNCTION DURING THE YEARLY INSPECTION. IF SO, THEN THIS SEEMS LIKE SOME SORT OF DESIGN FLAW SINCE THE REAR WINDOW MOVEMENT IN OUR VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN EXCESSIVE.
