MY SON WAS DRIVING HIS 2000 HONDA ACCORD GOING ON TO 270 NORTH ALL OF A SUDDEN HIS HOOD CAME POPPING UP SMASHING HIS WINDSHIELD AND HE WAS LUCKY HE WAS IN THE LANE CLOSEST TO THE BRIM. HE COULD NOT SEE AND WAS LUCKY NO ONE WAS IN FRONT OR AT THE SIDE OF HIM. THE POLICE OFFICER THAT ARRIVED ASKED US IF THIS WAS A 2000-2002 HONDA AND MY SON SAID YES. HE EXPLAINED TO US THIS IS THE 5TH HONDA VEHICLE IN A MONTH THAT THIS SAME THING OCCURRED. HIS DAUGHTERS SAME CAR AS MY SON DID THIS A MONTH AGO. HE RECOMMENDED TO ME TO EMAIL YOU AND LET YOU KNOW.

AIR CONDITIONER STOPPED WORKING AND ALL LIGHTS ON HVAC CONTROL PANEL WENT OUT. A SMALL AMOUNT OF SMOKE FILLED PASSENGER COMPARTMENT AND TEMPERATURE CONTROL KNOB BECAME WARM AND LOOSE. THE PLASTIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL KNOB CAME OFF AND I BURNED MYSELF ON THE METAL TEMPERATURE CONTROL SHAFT WHICH THE KNOB ATTACHES TO. THE METAL TEMPERATURE EASILY EXCEEDED 300 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. ONCE THE CAR WAS PARKED AND COOLED DOWN I REMOVED THE HVAC CONTROL PANEL FROM THE DASH. THE PLASTIC IS MELTED WHERE THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL KNOB IS AND ON THE INSIDE OF THE CONTROL PANEL. I REMOVED THE CIRCUIT BOARD FROM THE CONTROL PANEL AND IT SMELLS LIKE BURNED ELECTRONICS. THE CIRCUIT BOARD HAS BROWN BURN MARKS AND BUBBLING ON THE BOARD ITSELF. THE ENTIRE HVAC CONTROL UNIT WILL HAVE TO REPLACED AT THE COST OF $200-$300. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH WHEN HE NOTICED THAT THE WINDSHIELD HAD BEGUN TO PIT CAUSING POOR VISIBILITY. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL GLARE FROM THE WINDSHIELD WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. THE CONTACT STATED WAS DIFFICULT TO SEE DURING THE NIGHT DUE TO THE GLARE OF HEADLIGHTS OR DURING THE DAY WITH THE GLARE OF THE SUN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BUT PROVIDED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

THE WINDOW REGULATORS AND POWER DOOR LOCKS ON THE HONDA'S I OWN KEEP FAILING AND COST MORE THAN 300 DOLLARS TO REPAIR. THIS SEEMS TO BE A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM ON THE HONDA'S. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN ON ALL 4 DOORS OF MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD AND 2 DOORS ON MY 2004 HONDA PILOT. HONDA NEEDS TO DO A RECALL AND FIX THIS ISSUE. PEOPLE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR A SYSTEMIC ISSUE IN THE CAR, WHICH CAN BE A SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL AS YOU CAN'T PUT THE WINDOWS DOWN OR UP ONCE THIS HAPPENS. *TR
