THE AXEL THAT HOLDS MY TIRES ON DO NOT HOLD THE BOLTS THAT ARE PUT ON. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE EVERY SINGLE BOLT ON ALL FOUR TIRES ONCE A MONTH, IF NOT MORE. THE BOLTS COME LOSE AFTER REPLACING THEM AND TIGHTENING THEM. THE BOLTS KEEP CROSS THREADING AFTER FIXING THEM AND PUTTING THEM ON CORRECTLY. MY DRIVER SEAT BELT COMES UNDONE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WHERE THE CLOCK IS AND BELOW COME ON AND OFF RANDOMLY. THIS HAPPENS ON A DAY TO DAY BASIS, EVER SINCE I PURCHASED MY CAR. I WILL BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND HEAR A NOISE COMING FROM MY TIRES, PULL OVER AND A BOLT OR TWO HAS COME OFF. THIS IS UNSAFE FOR NOT ONLY ME BUT MY FAMILY.

I BELIEVE THE 2001 HONDA ACCORD LX, 4 CYL HAS PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM. I BOUGHT CAR NEW IN NOVEMBER 2000 AND HAVE CHANGED THE ROTORS 3 TIMES, AND THE BRAKE PADS 5 TIMES. I JUST HAD NEW ROTORS AND PADS PUT ON LAST SUMMER, AND WHEN THE HONDA DEALERSHIP WAS CHECKING MY CAR FOR ANOTHER PROBLEM, THEY DISCOVERED THAT THE NEW ROTORS WERE WARPED AND THE PADS WORE OUT. I AM WONDERING IF THE ENTIRE BRAKING SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY, WHICH CAUSES THE FRONT PADS AND ROTORS TO WEAR DOWN PREMATURELY. THE BACK DRUMS HAVE BEEN REPLACED ONE TIME. IT SEEMS THAT FOR SOME REASON WHEN I USE THE BRAKES THE FRONT BRAKES ARE DOING ALL THE WORK. NOBODY CAN FIGURE OUT WHY.*AK

MY 2001 ACCORD HAS HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE ACCELERATOR STICKING SINCE IT WAS NEW. WHILE IT HASN'T YET STUCK OPEN IT DOES STICK EVERDAY. IT SEEMS WORSE WHEN IT IS FIRST CRANKED IN THE MORNING, HOWEVER, LETTING IT WARM UP HAS NOT EFFECT. THIS IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS IN PARKING GARAGES AND LOTS. I HAVE HAD THIS AUTO TO APPLE TREE HONDA ON AT LEAST SIX OCCASIONS AND THEY TELL ME THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE LEFT IT OVERNIGHT FOR THEM TO SERVICE THE NEXT DAY AND THEY INSIST IT DOESN'T DO THIS WITH THEM. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO THEM ON AT LEAST 6 OCCASIONS AND PAID FOR THREE FUEL INJECTION CLEANINGS. THE ACCELERATOR STILL STICKS. I UNDERSTAND FROM DOING INTERNET RESEARCH THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MY YEAR AUTOMOBILE, YET HONDA OBVIOUSLY DOESN'T WANT TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. IN ADDITION, MY TRANSMISSION IS GETTING WORSE DAY BY DAY. IT NOW DOESN'T ENGAGE PROPERLY ESPECIALLY AFTER DRIVING, STOPPING AND TAKING OFF AGAIN ON A GRADE. WHILE THIS CAR HAS A GRADE LOGIC SENSOR THE SENSOR APPARENTLY DOESN'T DO IT'S JOB BECAUSE I LIVE IN THE MOUNTAINS AND IT NEVER ENGAGES. APPLE TREE ALSO TELLS ME THAT THEY JUST CAN'T SEEM TO DUPLICATE ANY TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. I AM AWARE THAT THERE IS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY DUE TO A RECALL BUT APPLE TREE HAS NEVER MENTIONED ANY REPAIR TO ME. IN ADDITION, FROM INTERNET RESEARCH, WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR ACCORD FOR THIS WARRANTY REPAIR THEY USE A "USED" TRANSMISSION UNDER THE EXCUSE THAT IT WILL TAKE TO LONG TO GET A NEW ONE. I HAVE WRITTEN A DETAILED LETTER TO AMERICAN HONDA TO SEE IF THEY WILL ASSIST ME, OTHER THAN ANOTHER TRIP TO APPLE TREE, WHOSE SERVICE IS SUBSTANDARD AND HAS BEEN FOR YEARS. WHEN I OWNED MY FIRST ACCORD I DROVE OVER AN HOUR FOR SERVICE TO ANOTHER STATE BECAUSE APPLE TREE ACTUALLY DAMAGED BY CAR DURING SERVICE, LEFT ME SITTING THREE HOURS DURNING A 10 MINUTE OIL CHANGE BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T "FORGOT" I WAS WAITING, ETC. THIS IS MY SECOND ACCORD BUT DEFINITELY MY LAST UNLESS HONDA DEALS WITH THE ISSUES.*AK

ALL OF THE ABOVE DATES AND MILEAGE ARE APPROXIMATE. I HAVE THE INFORMATION ON PAPER AT HOME. I HAVE ALSO HAD THE HARDEST TIME WITH HONDA FINANCIAL SERVICES WITH THEM CALLING ME AND SAYING THAT I NEVER PAID MY MONTHLY BILL (LAST FALL), WHICH I DID, AND THEN FINALLY THEY FOUND THE CHECK AND SAID "OH, OUR MISTAKE, IT HAS BEEN HERE THE WHOLE TIME." AND THEN NOW, I HAVE THEM SAYING THAT I WAS IN DEFAULT OF MY LEASE BECAUSE THEY NEVER HAD INFORMATION FOR MY INSURANCE, WHICH MY INSURANCE WAS SUPPOSED TO SEND THEM THAT INFORMATION. I CHECKED BACK WITH THEM A WEEK LATER (TODAY) AND THEY SAID THAT THEY WERE GOING TO IMPOUND MY CAR BECAUSE MY INSURANCE COMPANY NEVER GOT BACK WITH THEM. CALLED MY INSURANCE COMPANY, AND IT TOOK 5 MINS. TO HAVE SOMEONE FAX OVER PROOF OF INSURANCE. THAT WAS ALL - WAS IT THAT DIFFICULT??? THIS CAR HAD TO HAVE THE BACK BRAKES REPLACED AFTER 25000 MILES (ABOUT A MONTH AGO - IT WAS MAKING THIS AWFUL NOISE, LIKE RATTLING CHAINS UNDERNEATH) - THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. THE BACK WINDOW TINTING LIFTED UP AFTER 1 YEAR, THE TIRE BLEW OUT ON THE FREEWAY 1 MONTH AFTER GETTING IT (LEASED THE CAR AUG 2001). THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON TWICE, FOR NO APPARENT REASON. AND THE SRS LIGHT WAS ON 2 DIFFERENT TIMES. HAD IT TURNED OFF THE 1ST TIME. THEN 1 WEEK LATER IT WAS BACK ON, BROUGHT BACK TO MY DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE COMPUTER SYSTEM, BUT THEY COULD NOT GIVE ME A GOOD ENOUGH EXPLANATION. WHEN I FIRST WAS LOOKING FOR A CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP, THIS CAR WAS NOT ON THE LOT WHERE ALL THE OTHER CARS FOR SALE WERE, IT WAS IN THE BACK, BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. ASKED THE SALES REP IF THE CAR WAS IN OKAY CONDITION AND HE SAID IT WAS, AND THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT BECAUSE IT ONLY HAD 10 MILES ON IT - I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THEN. THIS CAR IS A PAIN IN THE BEHIND AND IT IS JUST A HASSLE FOR EVERYTHING THAT KEEPS HAPPENING WITH IT.

IN NOVEMBER 2002, I DISCOVERED A PROBLEM WITH MY AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IN MY 2001 HONDA ACCORD. SUBSEQUENT TO THIS DATE I HAD THREE TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENTS, ALL UNSUCCESSFUL. TWO OF MY TRANSMISSIONS DID NOT LAST LONGER THAN A WEEK BEFORE THEY WERE DIAGNOSED WITH TRANSMISSION FAILURE. HONDA IS UNWILLING TO DEAL WITH THIS PROBLEM AND HAS BEEN DIFFICULT TO REACH. THE SERVICE STAFF CONTINUALLY TRIES TO TELL ME THAT THE PROBLEM IS "IN MY HEAD", YET THEY CONTINUE TO REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION UNIT ON EACH VISIT. IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH YOUR 2001/2002 MODEL PLEASE FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE BBB AUTO LINE, THE BUREAU OF AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR, OR THE NEW MOTOR VEHICLE BOARD, THIS IS THE ONLY WAY THAT HONDA WILL BECOME RESPONSIVE TO THIS PROBLEM. ALTHOUGH THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON ALL TRANSMISSION TO 100,000 MILES, THIS ONLY COVERS 100,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER NOT ON THE LIFE OF THE NEW TRANSMISSION. HOW CAN I MAKE HONDA ACCOUNTABLE FOR MY UNSAFE VEHICLE? THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIVE IN ANY WAY! *JB
