2002 Honda Accord Complaint Log

A LOUD, CLUNKING SOUND BEGAN WHEN I WOULD GO OVER UNEVEN ROAD OR BUMPS IN THE ROAD. THIS WAS FOLLOWED BY THAT LOUD, CLUNKING NOISE APPEARING WHEN I WOULD TURN THE VEHICLE TO THE LEFT AND WHEN I WOULD GO OVER BUMPS. FINALLY, THE LOUD, CLUNKING NOISE WAS HEARD AT ALL TIMES DRIVING, ONLY COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE. WHEN MY MECHANIC, WHO SPECIALIZES IN FOREIGN CARS, INSPECTED MY CAR HE SAID THE REAR SUBFRAME ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS RUSTED ALMOST COMPLETELY THROUGH AND WAS KNOCKING ON THE REST OF THE FRAME/BEAM ON THAT SIDE. HE INDICATED THAT THE AIR CONDITIONING DRAIN TUBE IS DIRECTLY ABOVE THIS SPOT. WHEN I ASKED HOW THE SUBFRAME LOOKED ON THE DRIVER SIDE, MY MECHANIC REPLIED THAT IT LOOKED GOOD AS NEW. I CONCLUDE THAT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR AND WEATHER ELEMENTS COULD NOT BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR SUCH RUSTING ON ONE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE - THAT RUST DAMAGE WOULD BE ON BOTH SIDES. I BELIEVE THAT THE LOCATION OF THE A/C DRAIN TUBE IS MAJORLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS DAMAGE AND SHOULD BE PAID FOR BY HONDA ($1500-$2000 ESTIMATE). I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED ABOUT THE MY SAFETY WHILE IN MY VEHICLE NOW AND NEED TO REPAIR THIS SOON AS I AM AFRAID IT WILL COMPLETELY FALL APART SOON AND VERY LIKELY CAUSE A CRASH. I DO NOT SEE ANY RECALLS OF THE 2002 HONDA ACCORD, BUT MANY COMPLAINTS FOR THE VERY SAME PROBLEM - WHICH WAS FIXED ON LATER MODEL ACCORDS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING IN TRAFFIC AND MY CAR'S D4 LIGHT BEGAN BLINKING AND WHEN I WOULD SLOW DOWN TO A COMPLETE STOP THE CAR WOULD JERK BEFORE COMING TO A STOP. I HAD TO RESTART THE CAR TO GET IT TO STOP JERKING. THIS HAS HAPPENED MAYBE 4 TIMES BEFORE AND I TOOK IT TO SOMEONE AND THEY SAID THAT THE TRANSMISSION COULD BE GOING AND I WOULD NEED A NEW ONE. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE TRANSMISSIONS ON THESE OLDER HONDA ACCORDS, AND I THINK IT IS ABOUT TIME THEY DO SOMETHING TO FIX THIS ISSUE. *TR

TRANSMISSION IS ALREADY JERKING AND SLIPPING AND OUT OF WARRANTY. *TR

WHEN IAM TRAVELING WITH MY AND MY WIFE BECAUSE OF TRANSMISSION PROBLEM IN MY HONDA ACCORD 2002 GEARS ARE NOT CHANGING .AS HONDA COMPANY KNOW ABT THIS TRANSMISSION ISSUE ( LIKE KNOW ISSUE) AND FOR FIXING THIS WE NEED TO SPEND ALMOST 5000$ .BUT WE CAN'T IF HONDA COMPANY KNOW THIS IS COMMON ISSUE WHY THEY ARE NOT RECALLING THOSE TYPES OF CARS. *TR

AIR BAG LIGHT TURNS ON AND OFF. *TR

THE CLEAR COAT ON MY HONDA ACCORD IS PEELING OFF THE CAR. THE CAR HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED. THE PAINT IS NOW GREATLY AFFECTING MY RESALE VALUE AND SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH HONDA PAINT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE FRAME WAS COMPLETELY CORRODED WITH EXCESSIVE HOLES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO INFORMED THAT THE RUST CORROSION WAS A NORMAL PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000. ....UPDATED 10-21-13 *BF UPDATED 10/25/2013 *JS

MY TRANSMISSION RUNS FINE BUT EVERY NOW AND THEN WHEN I COME TO A COME STOP AND HAVE TO PRESS THE GAS TO GO THE CAR WILL MOVE VERY SLOWLY AND THEN JUMP TO A HIGH SPEED, THIS IS HAPPENNING ALOT NOW. I CHECKED THE INTENET AND THE ARE SEVERAL OTHERS WITH THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL VEHICLE THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS. THE CODES ARE COMING BACK 700 AND 780 WITH ARE SHIFT MALFUNCTIONS, THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, PLEASE HELP! *TR

SRS WARNING LIGHT CAME ON WHILE PARKED. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP, WHERE DIAGNOSTIC SERVICE SHOWED THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT DETECTION MECHANISM WAS FAILING TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. THIS SAFETY SYSTEM IS CONNECTED TO THE AIRBAGS, BUT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY (PER AMERICAN HONDA AND LOCAL DEALER). THIS MALFUNCTION IS A KNOWN PROBLEM, BUT HONDA WILL NOT REPAIR/REPLACE WITHOUT CHARGING CUSTOMER, THEREBY PUTTING LIVES AND SAFETY AT RISK IN THE NAME OF PROFIT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGH WAY COMING FROM WORK. MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. I CONTACTED HONDA DEALERSHIP THEY SAID IT WOULD COST THE SUM OF 400.00 TO REPAIR WHICH I DO NOT HAVE. AFTER READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS ON THIS YEAR HONDA, I HAVE REALIZED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND RECALLED FOR FAULTY TRANSMISSION BY HONDA. PLEASE HELP WITH THIS ISSUE. I AM A US MARINE AND I RELY HEAVILY ON MY CAR AND TRANSPORTATION TO WORK. *TR

INVESTIGATING SOME STRANGE ISSUES, PULLING AND CLUNKS AT SPEED AND BUMPS, TRANNY ISSUES AND NOSE FROM THE FRONT OF MY CAR I DECIDED TO DO AN INSPECTION. I TOOK THE PASSENGER FRONT WHEEL OFF AND DISCOVERED RUST HOLES RIGHT THREW THE REAR BEAM OF THE FRONT SUB FRAME! IS COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT, THIS CAR IS A SAFETY HAZARD. IT WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION IN MY STATE AND MY FAMILY AND I ARE TERRIFIED TO DRIVE IT. THIS HONDA HAS BEEN IN MY FAMILY SINCE NEW. AND HAS BEEN DEALER MAINTAINED FOR ALL THE MAJOR SERVICE OVER THE PAST 11 YEARS AND THIS WAS NEVER SEEN? ITS NOT LIKE IT JUST HAPPENED TODAY IN MARCH OF 2013! I LOOKED AROUND UNDER THE CAR AND UNDER THE HOOD, I SEE THE DRAIN TUBE FOR THE AC DRIPS RIGHT ON THE SPOT THE FRAME IS RUSTED THREW! THEN I TOOK THE DRIVERS SIDE WHEEL OFF AND THERE IS NO RUST AT ALL! THIS IS A TRAGIC DEFECT. WHAT IF THE PASSENGER SIDE FRAME IS TO SNAP WHEN I'M DRIVING IT? THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE THAT CAR IN OTHER WISE PRISTINE CONDITION WITH ONLY LESS THAN 91,000 WOULD HAVE THIS KIND OF RUST AND WOULD HAVE TO SUFFER SUCH A HIDEOUS FLAW LIKE THIS. I CANT AFFORD TO FIX THIS NOW. ITS GOING TO BE WELL OVER $1500 AND NOT ONLY THAT MY LIFE AND MY FAMILY'S LIFE IS PRICELESS. AGAIN THE REAR BEAM OF THE FRONT SUB FRAME IS RUSTED THREW DUE TO THE FACT THE AC DRAIN TUBE DRIPS DIRECTLY ON THIS SPOT. NO OTHER RUST ON THE REST OF THE SUB FRAME. POTENTIAL DEATH TRAP. *TR

I HAVE A 2002 HONDA ACCORD EX AND THE CAR JERKS INTO GEAR, EVEN GOING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR. I AM ALWAYS WORRIED TAKING OFF FROM A STOP LIGHT BECAUSE THE CAR DOESN'T GET INTO GEAR RIGHT AWAY OR TAKE OFF SMOOTHLY. *TR

THE MIDDLE OF MY STEERING WHEEL OR WHERE MY AIRBAG WOULD DEPLOY IS STICKY AND THE VINYL HAS LOST ITS INTEGRITY. MY CENTER CONSOLE UNDER THE DASHBOARD HAS MELTED TO THE POINT I HAVE HAD TO COVER IT WITH FELT BECAUSE EVERYTHING STICKS TO IT. IT'S LIKE TAR. APPROXIMATELY A YEAR AGO, I CALLED HONDA AND SPOKE TO A REPRESENTATIVE WHO TOLD ME SHE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A PROBLEM, AND THAT UNFORTUNATELY I WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY ANYMORE. SHE WOULD MAKE NOTE OF IT. I WAS TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER TO SEE WHAT THEY HAD TO SAY ABOUT IT. MAYBE THEY WOULD HAVE A CLEANER TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. KNOWING THERE WOULD BE NO CLEANER IN THE WORLD TO GET RID OF THE GOO, I DID NOT MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. I DID, HOWEVER, JUST RECENTLY SEE A SEGMENT ON OUR LOCAL NEWS FEATURING 'MELTING DASHBOARDS" WHICH DESCRIBED MY PROBLEM. MY CAR IS GARAGE KEPT. I LIVED IN NEW JERSEY AND MOVED TO FLORIDA IN 2006. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ALONG, WITH MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR, BUT THE CAR LOST POWER, IT STOPPED GOING FORWARD. I MANAGED TO MAKE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CAR WOULD ACCELERATE, AND THEN STOP ACCELERATING, AND THEN BEGIN AGAIN. GOING SLOWLY, I MANAGED TO MAKE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AND HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A HONDA SERVICE CENTER, WHERE THEY SAID I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. I HAD ALREADY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION BACK IN 2008. THE NEW TRANSMISSION HAD ONLY 53,000 MILES ON IT BEFORE IT FAILED. SO, A 2002 HONDA ACCORD, WITH 115,000 MILES IS ON ITS THIRD TRANSMISSION. SO THE ONE I HAD INSTALLED IN 2008 ONLY LASTED 53,000 MILES, SO HONDA PUT A SECOND CRAPPY TRANSMISSION IN MY CAR. THEY DIDN'T FIX THE TRANSMISSION SAFETY PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE NOTICED EXTENSIVE RUST ON THE SUB FRAME BELOW THE AIR CONDITIONING UNIT. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AND ADVISED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO TO REPAIR THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WROTE A LETTER TO THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS CONTACT BY THEM, STATING THAT THEY COULD PROVIDE NO ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 89,660.

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED ACCELERATING, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE D4 LIGHT BEGAN BLINKING. I CALLED THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON TO GET THE CAR RUNNING AGAIN. THIS WORKED AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. THEN I DROVE THE CAR TO THE HONDA DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED. WHILE DRIVING MY CAR ON A VERY BUSY ROAD WITH A 55 MPH SPEED LIMIT, IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ABOVE 25 MPH. IT WAS A VERY DANGEROUS AND SCARY EXPERIENCE. AFTER BEING DIAGNOSED, HONDA TOLD ME THE CAR NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION FOR $4100.00. HONDA REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION IN DECEMBER OF 2008 AT 79,945 MILES FOR $2400.00. THE CAR NOW HAS 119,629 MILES ON IT AND WHEN I CONTACTED HONDA THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD NOT HELP REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE THE WARRANTY PERIOD ON THE CURRENT TRANSMISSION IS 36,000 MILES OR 3 YEARS. THE REPRESENTATIVE FROM HONDA INSTRUCTED ME TO CONTACT THE NHTSA AND BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU AS NEXT STEPS. *TR

TRANSMISSION BEGAN SURGING AND TCS LIGHT ILLUMINATED ALONG WITH BLINKING 4TH GEAR LIGHT. SHUT VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED WITH NO ISSUES. TWO DAYS LATER PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN IN TRAFFIC. PULLED TO SIDE OF ROAD. LIMPED VEHICLE HOME IN 2ND GEAR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE A TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 11V260000 (AIR BAGS) AND NEEDED A DIAGNOSIS PERFORMED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 160,000. *TR

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SUDDENLY SO I TOOK IT THE SHOP TO GET IT CHECKED OUT. THE TECHNICIAN SAID THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE CAR IS A HONDA ACCORD EX V6 2 DOOR COUPE AND ONLY HAS 70,600 MILES. IT SEEMS LIKE MANY HONDA VEHICLES ARE EXPERIENCING EARLY TRANSMISSION FAILURES THAT NORMAL. *TR

LOW BEAMS HAVE STOPPED WORKING? HIGH BEAMS WORKS FINE... I REPLACED WITH A NEW BULB, BUT IT STILL DOESN'T WORK (SOMETHING ELECTRICAL?). THIS DEFECT HAS SIMILAR SYMPTOMS TO THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES I HAVE READ ABOUT FOR THE 2003-2007 MODELS. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SEAT FRAME BROKE ON MY 2002 HONDA ACCORD . THE SHOP DIDN'T WANT TO WELD IT BECAUSE OF CONCERNS IT WOULD SIMPLY BREAK AGAIN. A NEW SEAT WOULD HAVE COST $1200 PLUS LABOR. I GOT ONE FROM A WRECKED CAR FOR $560. *TR

I HAVE BEEN THE SINGLE OWNER FOR THIS CAR SINCE DECEMBER 2001. CAR HAS 103500 MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED. VEHICLE STARTED EXPERIENCING JERKS WHEN UPSHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEARS. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO SAYS IT WILL COST $4600 AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $3100. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL AS TOO MANY PEOPLE ARE REPORTING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, A CLICKING SOUND WAS HEARD FROM THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

MY 2002 HONDA ACCORD SE WITH 2.4 L 4 CYL HAS 95,000 MILES. THE TRANSMISSION WILL SOMETIMES SLAM INTO GEAR WHEN GOING FROM PARK TO DRIVE AND SLIPS WHEN THE CAR GOES FROM 1ST GEAR TO 2ND GEAR. WHEN YOU ROLL INTO A STOP AND PRESS THE ACCELERATOR TO GO AGAIN THE VEHICLE WILL SLAM INTO GEAR. WHEN I DO COME TOO A COMPLETE STOP, THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS LIKE IT STILL WANTS TO GO AND THEN HESITATES AND THE SLAMS INTO 1ST GEAR AGAIN. OTHER FRIENDS OF MINE WITH 2000-2001 ACCORDS WITH 80,000 TO 100,000 MILES ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

WHILE GETTING MY REQUIRED YEARLY NY STATE INSPECTION (PERFORMED BY A CERTIFIED HONDA MECHANIC) THE SUBFRAME REAR BEAM (CROSS MEMBER) WAS FOUND TO BE UNSAFE AND RUSTING OUT WITH HOLES ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM DUE TO A DESIGN FLAW THAT ALLOWS FOR THE COLLECTION OF WATER AT THE PROBLEM SPOT. IT IS A VERY EXPENSIVE FIX THAT HE WAS SURPRISED THAT HONDA HAS NOT RECALLED BECAUSE IT HAPPENS SO FREQUENTLY AND IS A SAFETY CONCERN.. THE REST OF THE UNDERCARRIAGE AND FRAME WAS IN GOOD CONDITION. WHY HASN'T HONDA RECALLED THIS SAFETY ISSUE? *TR

I JUS GOT INTO THE VEHICLE IN A PARKING LOT ALONG HUGH HOWELL RD REVERSE FROM OUT OF MY PARKING SPACE AS SOON AS I PUT THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE I HEARD A LOUD REVVED COMING FROM THE ENGINE THE CAR THEN SPED OFF I TRIED TO STOPPED IT BUT THEY BRAKES WOULD NOT STOP IT.

ORDERLY PROBLEMS OCCURRED AS IT BULLETED DOWN: ?GOT IT WITH SLIPPING AND JERKING GEAR. WITHIN TWO DAYS RETURNED, BUT I WAS ADVISED THAT THERE ARE NO URGENT PROBLEMS AND THAT ONLY MY IMAGINATION. ?KEY TIME FROM TIME DO NOT STARTS OR HARD TO REMOVE. ?PROBLEM WITH A BACK WINDOW TO CLOSE WHEN OPENED IT. THE DEALER CLOSED IT AND RECOMMENDED NOT TO OPEN IT ANYMORE. ?WHEEL BEARINGS GOING OUT AND CAR DRAGS THAT CAUSE TO REPLACE A FEW TIMES TIRES AND THE BRAKES PADS. PREMATURE TIRE WEAR. ?BALL JOINT IT WAS THOUGHT IN THE BEGINNING, BUT THEN A TRANSMISSION OR BOTH. AS OF PER CARSCOMPLAINT.COM JANUARY/2013 REPORT IT TALKS ABOUT SUBFRAME RUST NEAR THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL. ?CHANGE SENSORS BUT STILL ?CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS? ? IT SHOWS P1166 AND P1167 AN AIR /FUEL RATIO SENSOR ? ARE GENERALLY WIDE BAND O2 SENSOR THAT COULD BE ANYTHING. SMELLS. ?IT COULD BE THIS PROBLEM WITH SENSOR & CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AS ACCORDING TO THE JAPANESE AUTOMAKER ?HONDA SAID THE SENSOR WIRE COULD BREAK AND CAUSE THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT TO BE ILLUMINATED AND PREVENT THE SENSOR FROM WORKING PROPERLY. WHEN THE SENSOR FAILS, THE AIR BAG SYSTEM AUTOMATICALLY MOVES TO FULL INFLATION PRESSURE, WHICH COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY FOR SMALLER DRIVERS IN A FRONTAL CRASH?. ?FINALLY TRANSMISSION GONE AND MY CAR NOW TAKING A LONG REST IN SOMEONE'S PARKING LOT. I BELIEVE IT IS ALSO A GEAR BREAKAGE! MY CORE SURVIVAL EXISTENCE IS IN A GREAT DANGER DUE TO IT, I HAVE ENCOUNTER NUMEROUS DAMAGES/INJURIES. *TR

POLICE REPORT #[XXX]FILED WITH OZAUKEE COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT WI HAS PARTICULARS. MY VEHICLE CRASHED HEADON WITH SIDE OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. MY WIFE WAS THE ONLY PASSENGER AND RECIEVED SPINAL INJURIES. SHE WAS WEARING HER SEAT BELTS BUT THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY ON EITHER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE'S AIRBAG WAS THE SUBJECT OF RECALL IN 2011 AND REPAIRS WERE MADE BY ME IN LINE WITH THAT RECALL. I HAVE NOTIFIED HONDA WITH CASE # [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ON AUGUST 3, NOTICE A LOUD CRACKING SOUND IN RIGHT FRONT OF CAR. TOOK CAR TO HONDA DEALER AUG. 9. WAS CONTACTED BY SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE, STATED FRONT CROSS BEAM WAS CRACKED NEARLY INTO TWO PIECES AND THAT DUE TO THE SERIOUS DANGEROUS CONDITION OF THE CAR IT CAN NOT BE DRIVEN. I WAS ASKED TO COME AND OBSERVE THE CONDITION. UPON ARRIVING I ASKED HOW THIS COULD OCCUR, CAR IS GARAGED, EXCELLENT CONDITION, WELL MAINTAINED. I WAS INFORMED THEY HAVE SEEN THIS CONDITION BEFORE AND THAT THE AIR CONDITIONING DRAINS ONTO THIS BEAM MAKING IT WET ALL THE TIME. THEY BELIEVE THIS HELPED THE BEAM RUST, IN ONE AREA ONLY, UNTIL EVENTUALLY NEARLY BREAKING INTO 2 PIECES. I ASKED IF HONDA ACKNOWLEDGED THIS DEFECT I WAS TOLD THEY KNOW THE DRAIN DRIPS ON THE BEAM AND THAT THEY HAVE SEEN THIS BEFORE BUT THERE WAS NO RECALL?? I CALLED HONDA USA FOR ASSISTANCE ON THIS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SAFETY CONDITION, I WAS INSTRUCTED THAT BECAUSE OF THE CARS AGE THEY WOULD NOT ASSIST. I WAS ONLY ASKING FOR HONDA TO SUPPLY THE PART, I WAS WILLING TO PAY THE LABOR COSTS. IF THIS FRONT CROSS BEAM WOULD HAVE BROKEN COMPLETELY THROUGH WHILE DRIVING IT CERTAINLY WOULD HAVE CAUSED A TRAFFIC CRASH RESULTING IN INJURY OR WORSE. I LEARNED THAT HONDA RECOGNIZED THE SAFETY PROBLEM AND CHANGED THE AC DRAIN LOCATION IN NEWER MODELS YEARS 2004 OR 2005 SO THAT IT NO LONGER DRAINS ONTO THE BEAM. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONDITION THAT CERTAINLY HAS HAD TO RESULT IN TRAFFIC CRASHES, HOPEFULLY NO INJURIES HAVE OCCURRED. *TR

2002 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO AIR BAG INFLATOR REPLACEMENT *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED THE DEALER PERFORMED SHODDY WORK IN REPLACING THE RECALLED DRIVER AIR BAG INFLATOR. THE CONSUMER STATED HE COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER ABOUT A DEEP GASH ON THE AIR BAG COVER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STEERING WHEEL. *JB

PAINT/CLEAR COAT IS PEELING/DISSOLVING PRETTY BAD ON THE TRUNK AND THE ROOF. TRIM ALONG WINDOWS IS ALSO BEGINNING TO PEEL. HONDA DEALERSHIP WON'T TAKE CARE OF ME, I LOVE THE CAR, BUT IT IS COMPLETELY EMBARRASSING DRIVING AROUND WITH THIS PAINT PROBLEM AND $3000 TO FIX SHODDY PAINT FROM THE FACTORY IS NOT SOMETHING I FEEL I SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR. THERE ARE MANY INSTANCES OF THE DEFECTIVE CLEAR COAT AND IT IS NOT OUR FAULT THEY TRIED TO CHEAP OUT ON THE PAINT AND WE ARE BEING MADE TO PAY THE PRICE. WE HAVE ALWAYS BOUGHT OUR CARS NEW AND HAVE OWNED MANY HONDAS. WE ARE VERY DISAPPOINTED AS WE ARE DRIVING A CAR THAT LOOKS HORRIBLE. WE HAVE OTHER CARS THAT ARE PARKED OUTSIDE AS WELL AND NONE OF THE OTHERS HAVE THIS PROBLEM. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE SO THAT HONDA FIXES THEIR CLEAR COAT ISSUE TO LOYAL BUYERS OF THEIR CARS. SHAME ON HONDA. *TR

HONDA HAS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT FOR A REAR BEAM PLACE. AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP, A HONDA AND STATE OF MICHIGAN CERTIFIED MECHANIC HAS CERTIFIED THAT HONDA PUT CARS IN PRODUCTION WITH A DEFECTIVE PLACE FOR AIR CONDITIONING DRAIN. THE DRAIN FROM THE AIR CONDITIONER COMES STRAIGHT ON THE TOP OF THE REAR BEAM AND MAKE THIS PIECE OF METAL CORRODED AND RUST OUT. THE POSITION FOR DRAIN HAS NOT BEEN MANUFACTURED IN THE RIGHT PLACE. THE CAUSE IS TO BREAK THE REAR BEAM AND PUT THE DRIVER IN EXTENSIVE DANGER WITH HAVING CAR RUNNING ON LESS THAN FOUR WHEELS AND DRIVING ON HIGHWAY CAN KILL A PERSON ALONG WITH OTHERS MAY GET HIT WITH THE VEHICLE. REPAIR COSTS $2000.00. *TR

I WAS TOLD THAT IT IS RELATED TO THE SEAT BELT ISSUE. IF THAT IS THE CASE, THEN THE SEATBELTS SHOULD HAVE BEEN PART OF RECALL AS WELL. IF IT DOES NOT WORK THEN WHAT IS THE POINT OF HAVING THE RECALL. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TRANSMISSION SHIFTS SLOW OR HARD, OR OCCASIONALLY DOESN'T "CATCH"... THEN SUMMER OF 2013 AT 73K ON A VERY (FIRST OUT OF TOWN TRIP IN YEARS) LONG TRIP THE TRANSMISSION WOULDN'T SHIFT OUT OF 1ST OR 2ND GEAR UNTIL THE CAR COOLED FOR A COUPLE HOURS. SHIFTS ALRIGHT MOST OF THE TIME FOR SHORT TRIPS DOWN THE STREET, BUT I CAN'T DRIVE OUT OF TOWN FOR FEAR OF BEING STRANDED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY TRANSMISSION STARTING SLIPPIN AND WAS STICKING AT 3000RPM'S. I HAD BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE HONDA DEALER WHERE I WAS TOLD "IT IS STILL SAFE TO DRIVE, I DONT NEED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AT THE TIME AND TO DRIVE THE CAR UNTIL TRANSMISSION NO LONGER WORKS". I TOOK THE CAR HOME AND HAD TO JUMP ON THE HIGHWAY, AS SOON AS I DID THIS THE CARS TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT AND LEFT ME STRANDED WITH MY CHILDREN. I GOT THE CAR HOME AND THEN HAD A MECHANIC FROM OUR AREA LOOK AT THE CAR AND HE IMMEDIATLY HAD TOLD ME THAT THERE HAS BEEN PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSIONS FOR THIS CAR AND HONDA SHOULD NEVER HAVE TOLD ME IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. I HAD TO SPEND 2400.00 ON A NEW TRANSMISSION. HONDA NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF THIS BILL. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY TRANSMISSION DECIDES TO NOT KNOW WHAT GEAR IT WAS IN. IT JUST REVS THE ENGINE ACTS LIKE IT IS IN NEUTRAL. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN SINCE THE CAR LOOSES POWER AND SOMEONE COULD HAVE REAR-ENDED ME. CHECKED ON AUTOBEEF.COM AND THE MAJORITY OF THE COMPLAINTS DEALT WITH THIS ISSUE ON THE ACCORD. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN SINCE SO MANY PEOPLE ARE AFFECTED. HONDA USED TO BE DEPENDABLE BUT NOT NOW.
