ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH LIGHTS, TRANSMISSION HAS VARIOUS ISSUES AFTER I'VE SPENT OVER $2,000 TRYING TO GET IT FIXED. THE SENSORS GO OUT OR START ACTING UP A SHORT TIME AFTER I'VE REPLACED THEM. THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF AND LEAVE YOU TO GET HIT BECAUSE IT TAKES SECONDS TO MINUTES TO GET STARTED AGAIN. LIGHTS GO ON AND OFF ON THEIR OWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY AND THE ENGINE STALLED. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STARTER NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE PRESSURE WAS DOWN AND THE FUEL PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

I TOOK MY HONDA TO HONDA OF STEVENS CREEK AND ASKED IF THEY KNEW ANYTHING ABOUT MY CAR NOT STARTING WHEN IS LEFT ON HOT WEATHER. THEY SAID THEY WAS A BULLETIN BUT NO RECALL AND THEREFORE I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FIX. I LOOKED ONLINE AND IT SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL PRESSURE REGULAR OR SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT. HOW DOES ONE GET A COMMON PROBLEM FIX OR START A RECALL PROCESS? IT SEEMS TO ME THAT HAVING TO USE MY VEHICLE IN COLD WEATHER ONLY IS PROBLEMATIC. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP. *TR

I HAVE HONDA ACCORD 2002 WHICH HAS BEEN REGULARLY SERVICED BY HONDA DEALERS. I RECENTLY GOT MY 120K SERVICE DONE AND SPEND ABOUT $1000 ON SERVICE AND PARTS. AT THAT TIME EVERYTHING WAS DIAGNOSED OK. AFTER COUPLE OF MONTHS DRIVING THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR NEEDS TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT WITH A COST OF $4000 UPWARD. I RESEARCHED ON THE WEB AND CAME TO KNOW THAT THE 2002 ACCORD HAVE TRANSMISSION ISSUES. A RECALL WAS DONE IN 2004 FOR TRANSMISSION. I DIDN'T RECEIVE ANY RECALL NOTICE FROM HONDA IN 2004. SINCE HONDA KNOWS ABOUT THE ISSUE I THINK HONDA SHOULD BE LIABLE TO PAY FOR THE COST OF FIXING THE TRANSMISSION. COULD ANYONE LET ME KNOW WHAT IS MY RIGHTS IN THIS SITUATION CONSIDERING IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND HONDA DID NOTHING ABOUT IT. IT IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD SINCE FAULTY TRANSMISSION CAN LOCK THE ENGINE RESULTING IN CRASH. PLEASE ADVISE. *TR

PURCHASED THE 2002 HONDA ACCORD SE COUPE IN MARCH 2008 WITH 64K MILES. AFTER A FEW MONTHS OF DRIVING I BEGAN TO FEEL A SLIGHT JERK WHEN I PLACED MY FEET ON THE ACCELERATOR. TOOK MY CAR TO A LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT I NEEDED A TRANSMISSION FLUSH. AFTER DRIVING CAR I BEGAN TO FEEL THE SLIGHT JERK AND OVER A YEAR I RECIEVED 2 TRANSMISSION FLUSHES. JERKING HAS GOTTEN SO BAD THAT I AM NOT ABLE TO TRADE BECAUSE IT IS BASICALLY A LEMON. HONDA DEALERSHIP HAS TOLD ME NOW THAT I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. OVER 3K TO REPLACE AND AFTER CALLING AMERICAN HONDA THEY REFUSED TO HELP WITH THE COST. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE 2002 ACCORDS BUT YET THEY WONT OWN UP TO IT. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE A HONDA EVER AGAIN. *TR

I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH MY VERY FIRST NEW CAR PURCHASE. I THOUGHT HONDA WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A NUMBER ONE CAR FOR SAFETY AND WAS SUPPOSED TO BE LONG LASTING. I HAVE HAD MINE IN THE SHOP 6-7 TIMES IN THE LAST 6 -7 MONTHS AND IT IS DUE TO GO INTO THE SHOP AGAIN BECAUSE THEY STILL HAVE NOT FIXED THE WINDOW BUTTONS CORRECTLY. I HAVE HAD THE CAR NOT START 3 TIMES AND HAVE BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALER TO HAVE THEM TELL ME THAT NOTHING IS WRONG. I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT A CAR FOR SEVERAL DAYS WHILE THEY HAVE IT HOOKED UP TO SOME COMPUTER AND HAVE HAD NO RENTAL CARS AVAILABLE TO ME. I AM VERY FRUSTRATED AND VERY AFFRAID TO GO OUT TO MY CAR AND HAVE IT NOT START ON A DAY THAT I REALLY NEED IT. I WANT THESE PRONBLEMS FIXED AND AM BRINGING IT TO ANOTHER DEALER TO SEE IF THEY CAN HELP ME WITH IT. DT
