INTERMITTENT STARTING PROBLEM; STALLED @LIGHT ROLLED BACK -DEALER CANNOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM. *AK

A BANGING NOISE FROM THE ENGINE AND A VIBRATION ARE EXPERIENCED EVERY TIME WHEN I START THE ENGINE. THIS IS A DESIGN DEFECT, SINCE THE DEALER LET ME TEST DROVE SEVERAL NEW HONDA CARS IN STOCK AND EVERY 1999 AND 2000 YEAR NEW HONDA ACCORD LX HAS THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE NOISE AND VIBRATION LOOSE SCREWS AND CONNECTIONS FOR THE LONG RUN. SOME OF THOUSANDS OF SCREWS AND CONNECTIONS IN A CAR MAY DROP OUT SOME DAY AND CAUSE ACCIDENT.

WHEN DRIVING ON WET OR DRY PAVEMENTAND UPON DEPRESSING BRAKE PEDAL TO MAKE A GRAUDAL STOP, PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD, CAUSING EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. PROBLEM WAS INTERMITTENT. CONSUMER HAS CONTACTED DEALER, DEALER HAS REPLACED BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER. PROBLEM STILL OCCURRING. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS.*AK

ENGINE HESTITATES/LURCHES FORWARD AT ANY SPEED WHEN USING REGULAR UNLEADED GASOLINE. PROBLEM LESS FREQUENT WHEN USING PREMIUM GAS, BUT IS CAUSING CARBON BUILDUP ON THROTTLE BODY OVER TIME, WHICH LEADS TO THE ACCELERATOR STICKING. LOCAL DEALER STATED THEY HAVE BEEN AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM. DEALER SUGGESTED LOWER GRADE GASOLINE TO PREVENT CARBON BUILDUP. DEALER OFFERED NO EXPLAINATION WHY ENGINE IS HESITATING.*AK

MY BREAKS HAVE NOT FAILED, BUT SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE CAR THEY HAVE MADE A TERRIBLE SQUEALING NOISE. I HAVE REPORTED THE PROBLEM SEVERAL TIMES TO THE DEALER AND HAVE HAD IT LOOKED AT TWICE. I WAS TOLD THAT BECAUSE OF THE NEW MATERIALS USED TO MAKE BREAKS CAUSES THIS NOISE. I AM NOT SATISFIED WITH THAT ANSWER SINCE VERY FEW IF ANY OF THE OTHER NEW CARS I SEE AND HEAR ON THE ROAD ARE MAKING THE SAME NOISE. HAS THIS PROBLEM BEEN REPORTED BY OTHER HONDA OWNERS? IS IT IN FACT DUE TO THE MATERIALS USED TO CONSTRUCT THE BREAK PADS? IT IS REALLY FRUSTRATING TO HAVE A NEW CAR AND HAVE IT SOUND LIKE THE BREAKS NEED REPLACING.

DRIVER'S FRONT AND REAR AND PASSENGER'S REAR TIRE HAD BLOWOUTS. THEY WERE MANUFACTURED BY MICHELIN. ANGLE OF THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE WINDSHIELD CAUSES A GLARE FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS WHICH RESULTS IN VISUAL DIFFICULTY, AND MAY CAUSE A CRASH. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

I HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED AT STOP LIGHTS FIVE TIMES IN THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN AT A COMPLETE STOP FOR EACH ONE OF THESE. IN SEARCHING FOR A REASON FOR THIS I HAVE REALIZED THAT THE 1999 HONDA ACCORDS HAVE DIM BRAKE LIGHTS. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW TO PROCEED WITH THE MANUFACTURER. THIS HAS CAUSED MULTIPLE INJURIES AND HEARTACHES. I HAVE NOT BEEN AT FAULT IN ANY OF THESE, AND HAVE NEVER HAD AN ACCIDENT BEFORE OWNING THIS CAR. *AK
