The ignition system of the vehicle is faulty. The engine keeps stalling intermittently and the vehicle shuts down. The issue has been observed at both low and high speeds. The issue occurs on average once in two weeks. This issue has put our family's safety in jeopardy. We filed a complaint with Honda but they are not willing to help with addressing this issue. This issue has been a problem for several years with no restitution from Honda. We need to be compensated USD 2.5million for the stress and aggravation this issue has caused us and for putting our family's safety in jeopardy. Please help us by arranging for mediation services with Honda Motor Company of America. Thank you.

This morning, my neighbor came over to see if I heard my car alarm go off. I saw that part of the driver side where the door buttons are located were some what damaged. They must have been trying to open other doors, trunk or something else. I'm not sure how they were able to open the driver side door, maybe a crow bar what whatever else they use. I did not hear my car alarm go off. I checked my car for anything stolen, but didn't seem to find any thing missing. Will check it again. On another note, there was a night about a month ago where my neighbor heard gun shots outside my back door under the plum tree. Same side of location where my car is parked. Perhaps its the same people. This neighborhood is becoming dangerous. Thank YOU! [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

FOR THE STEERING, THE POWER STEERING PUMP DOESN'T HOLD POWER STEERING FLUID AND WHEN YOU GO AROUND A CURVE AND THERE IS A BUMP IN THE ROAD, YOUR STEERING WHEEL JERKS THE OTHER WAY. IT'S WAY WORSE WITH NO POWER STEERING BUT IT IS STILL THERE EVEN IF YOU HAVE FLUID. THE TRANSMISSION WILL JUMP IN BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND GEAR SO ROUGHLY IT FEELS LIKE YOUR TRANSMISSION IS GOING TO FALL OUT, SOMETIMES YOU CAN'T GO BECAUSE OF IT AND IT'S ALMOST CAUSED SOME ACCIDENTS. YOU CAN'T GET UP TO THE SPEED YOU NEED TO WITH IT BEING SO ROUGH AND JUMPY. THEN THERE IS A TICKING NOISE WHEN I PRESS ON THE GAS PEDDLE, FROM THE TIMING BELT AND TRANSISTOR. SOME OF THESE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I GOT THE CAR, LIKE THE SHIFTING AND THE STEERING. THE TICKING HAS BEEN THERE BUT NOT AS BADLY AS IT IS NOW. I ALSO KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY HONDA DRIVER WITH THESE ISSUES FROM THIS MAKE AND MODEL AND ERA FOR THIS CAR.

I WENT TO HONDA OF SANTA MONICA 3 TIMES WITHIN SEVERAL DAYS OR ALMOST TWO WEEKS TO FIX A TRANSMISSION COOLANT LINE.AFTER 3 ATTEMPT REPLACING WASHER,GASKET. THE COOLANT LINE IS STILL LEAKING BUT NOT AS BAD AS BEFORE.THEY REALLY TRIED HARD WITH EVERY EFFORT TO STOP THE TRANS LEAK.IS IT POSSIBLE THE COOLANT LINE SURFACE IS UNEVEN? THE COOLANT LINE COULD BE DEFECTIVE DUE TO MANUFACTURE PROCESS CAUSING TO LEAK FROM THE SOURCE? I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE THE COOLANT LINE LEAKAGE FROM THE FACTORY WHERE THEY ARE MANUFACTURE.DID QUALITY CONTROL BYPASS THE PROCESS INSPECTION? THERE PROBABLY THOUSAND OF CARS OUT THERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM OUT THERE AND CONSUMER ARE UNAWARE OF IT.

WHEN I PURCHASED MY 2002 EX HONDA ACCORD IN 2015; I THOUGHT I WAS GETTING A RELIABLE DEPENDABLE CAR. HONDA IS KNOW FOR ITS RELIABILITY BUT LITTLE DID I KNOW THAT THE WHOLE SUB-FRAME (FRONT & BACK WAS FULLY RUSTED). MY SRS WARNING LIGHT COMES ON QUITE OFTEN. THE A/C DRAIN I STRONGLY BELIEVE WAS INSTALLED IMPROPERLY WHICH CAUSES THE SUB-FRAME TO RUST AND CRACK. I BOUGHT THE CAR WITH ONLY 82,358 MILES AND PURCHASED A EXTENDED WARRANTY THROUGH HONDA DEALERSHIP WHICH MY POWERTRAIN ONLY COVERED UP TO 90,000 MILES. I HAD TAKEN THE CAR FOR ITS FIRST OIL CHANGE WHICH WAS AT 91,000 MILES AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I STARTED TO HAVE POWERTRAIN PROBLEMS. EVEN THOUGH ON MY BILL OF SALE IT STATED AS IS HONDA DEALERSHIP KNEW THAT A CUSTOMERS SUCH AS MYSELF WOULD LOOK UNDER THE BODY OF THE CAR. I WENT ONLINE AND HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM I WAS HAVING WITH THIS MODEL & YEAR. ALSO THEIR EXTENDED WARRANTY PROBLEM WAS AN ISSUE. WHY IS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT & STATES ALLOWING HONDA TO SELL A CAR WITH IMPROPERLY INSTALLED A/C DRAIN,SUB-FRAME ROTTING & CRACK ISSUES, TRANSMISSION FAILURE, DEFECTIVE SEAT BELT SENSOR. I PRAY THAT NO ONE DIES FROM THIS VEHICLE. 1999-2002 MODELS. I'M A MOTHER OF FOUR WITH A NON-CURABLE DISEASE AND I JUST WANT MY CAR TO BE FULLY REPAIRED AT THE EXPENSE OF HONDA. DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND TURNING IS DANGEROUS FOR ME TO BE OPERATING BUT THIS IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. MY MECHANIC HAS TO ME I SHOULDN'T HAVE PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE BUT I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT HONDA WOULD DO THERE CUSTOMERS WRONG LIKE THIS JUST FOR A PROFIT!!!!

HONDA HAS RECALLED TRANSMISSIONS IN HONDA ACCORDS YEARS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY OF THE VEHICLES YEAR. THEY HOWEVER DID NOT DO THIS ONE AND I FEEL LIKE I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR THEIR MISTAKE.
