2009 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO REPAIRS RELATED TO REMOTE START AND MAIN FUSE *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED WHEN SHE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, SHE PURCHASED A HONDA CARE VEHICLE SERVICE CONTRACT EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE CAME EQUIPPED WITH A REMOTE START. HOWEVER, ON NOVEMBER 13, 2011, HER SON WAS UNABLE TO START THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER, WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED A MAIN FUSE HAD BLOWN, POSSIBLY DUE TO THE REMOTE START. THE FUSE WAS REPLACED. HOWEVER, ON DECEMBER 9, 2011, THE VEHICLE BROKE DOWN AGAIN, AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER. IT WAS DETERMINED, A WIRE IN THE REMOTE START BLEW THE MAIN FUSE AGAIN. HOWEVER, THE CONSUMER HAD TO PAY $241.31 FOR THE REPAIRS. THE DEALER REFUSED TO THE HONOR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THE CONSUMER PURCHASED, BECAUSE THEY WERE CONCERNED THAT THE REMOTE START WAS AN AFTER MARKET COMPONENT. IT WAS DETERMINED, THAT THE SELLING DEALER DID IN FACT INSTALL THE REMOTE START THROUGH AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE. *JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAVE A 2000 HONDA ACCORD SE - 4 CYLINDER. SOMETIMES WHEN I TAKE MY CAR FROM PARK TO REVERSE, I GET A THUD SOUND. I DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING ABOUT IT. AT AROUND 120,000 MILES, WHEN I PUT MY CAR IN REVERSE, THE CAR WON'T MOVE. WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS TO TRY TO GET THE CAR TO MOVE IN REVERSE, THE ENGINE REVS, BUT THE CAR STILL WON'T MOVE. I PUT THE CAR BACK TO PARK AND THEN PUT IN INTO REVERSE AND IT WILL BE FINE. IF I AM PARKED ON A SLANTED SURFACE WHERE THE FRONT END OF MY CAR IS SITTING LOWER THEN THE BACK AND I TRY TO PUT MY CAR INTO REVERSE, THE CAR ROLLS FORWARD, BUT NOT REVERSE. ONE TIME I HAD TO PUT MY CAR INTO PARK, THEN REVERSE, PARK THEN REVERSE ABOUT 20 TIMES TO GET OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE. BECAUSE MY CAR IS OVER THE WARRANTY PERIOD, MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. MY HUSBAND SEEMS TO THINK THAT MY TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AND SOMEDAY I AM GOING TO BE STUCK. WE DON'T HAVE THE $2000 TO $4000 TO HAVE A NEW TRANSMISSION PUT IN. I THOUGHT HONDAS WERE A LONG LASTING CAR? I BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW AND HOPED TO GET MY YEARS OUT OF IT BEFORE I HAD TO PUT MAJOR MONEY INTO IT. HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS PROBLEM? *TR
