WHEN CAR IS DRIVEN DURING HOT DAYS AND YOU TURN THE CAR OFF, IT WILL NOT START AGAIN TELL THE CAR COOLS OFF. THIS HAPPENS DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS.NOW THAT THE CAR IS OLDER, IT WILL NOT START AT ALL DURING SOME OF THE HOT DAYS. THIS INCLUDE WHEN I START THE CAR FOR FIRST TIME THAT DAY. TOOK THE CAR IN ONCE YEARS AGO AND THEY SAID THEY FIXED IT BUT I KEEP HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME MORE MONEY TO TRY TO FIX IT AGAIN. FRONT PASSAGE HEADLIGHTS ALWAYS BEEN FOGGY. CAR ALSO NEVER HUGGED THE ROAD RIGHT. DEALERSHIP COULD NEVER FIND THE PROBLEM.

MY NIGHTTIME DASHBOARD LIGHTS HAVE STOPPED WORKING ON MY HONDA ACCORD EX V6. I CAN NO LONGER SEE MY GAUGES AT NIGHT. DOING SOME SEARCHING IT APPEARS THAT THE MULTIPLEX CONTROL UNIT MAY HAVE FAILED. IT LOOKS LIKE HONDA HAS RECALLED THIS ON 2000 ACCORD LX V6 BUT NOT THE EX. *TR

THE SRS LIGHT HAS COME ON MY 2000 ACCORD. NOW IT IS PAST THE EXTENDED WARRANTY OF 10 YEARS. I GOT SUCKERED INTO PAYING $100 TO HONDA FOR THEM TO DIAGNOSE. THEY CAME BACK AND SAID THE OPDS NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THE AIRBAG WON'T DEPLOY BECAUSE OF THE SRS LIGHT ON. THEY WANTED ANOTHER $300 TO REPLACE. I DECIDED NOT TO REPLACE BECAUSE I AM NOT CONVINCED IT WON'T FAIL AGAIN BUT NOW I AM DRIVING AROUND KNOWING MY AIRBAGS WON'T DEPLOY. THERE IS AN OBVIOUS FAULTINESS WITH THE SRS AND OPDS AND I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT HONDA FEEL A WARRANTY EXTENSION IS SUFFICIENT. THEY SHOULD BE RECALLING THIS SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM. *TR

LIKE THE ONES IN THE FORUM LISTED I MYSELF WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL.

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A SET OF 2000 HONDA ACCORD 1 PIECE PROJECTOR HEADLIGHTS FROM 4CAROPTION.COM. FEW DAYS AFTER I INSTALLED THE HEADLIGHTS I GOT PULLED OVER BY A POLICE OFFICER AND WAS ASKED TO PUT BACK MY ORIGINAL HEADLIGHTS BECAUSE I AM REQUIRED BY LAW TO HAVE AN AMBER REFLECTOR ON MY HEADLIGHTS. 4CAROPTION.COM NEVER ADVISED ME ABOUT THE HEADLIGHTS' DESIGN IS AGAINST THE LAW. I CALLED 4CAROPTION TO ASK FOR A FULL REFUND, BUT THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD ONLY GIVE ME HALF OF THE PAYMENT BACK SINCE I INSTALLED THE HEADLIGHTS ALREADY. NM

THE ALTERNATOR WENT OUT ON THE CAR WITH APPROXIMATELY 55,000 MILES WHICH IS WAY TOO SOON. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON A COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER AND HAD TO REPLACE THE EGR VALVE (COVERED UNDER WARRANTY). THE RIGHT HEADLAMP HAS BEEN REPLACED AT LEAST 5 TIMES SINCE OWNING THE CAR. IT HAS BEEN CHECKED FOR AN ELECTRICAL SHORT AND NOTHING COULD BE FOUND. THE FACTORY-INSTALLED CD PLAYER FAILED AT APPROXIMATELY 37,000 MILES. I HAVE ALWAYS HEARD GOOD THINGS ABOUT THE HONDA, BUT I HAVE NOT BEEN TOO PLEASED WITH ALL THE LITTLE NITPICKING STUFF. THE ORIGINAL TIRES WERE REPLACED AT THE APPROXIMATELY 50000 MILE MARK. THE NEW TIRES WERE DUNLAPS WHICH FAILED WITHIN 8 MONTHS. HOPEFULLY THE NEW ONES WILL MAKE IT.*AK

ALL MAKES AND MODELS WITH HALOGEN OR HI INTENSITY HEADLIGHTS ARE UNSAFE FOR ON-OMING DRIVERS OVER 45. THEY HIDE FEATURES WITH A GREAT DEAL OF DANGEROUS DAZZLING FROM LIGHT HITTING "FLOATERS" AND CATARACTS THAT MAY BE FORMING, AND BOUNCING AROUND WITHIN NORMAL, BUT AGING, EYES. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS AGE-RELATED DANGER AND TAKE THEM OFF THE ROAD!*AK
