ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
I HAVE HAD 2 HONDA ACCORDS AND MY GIRLFRIEND HAS A 3RD HONDA ACCORD. OVERALL THE CARS ARE GREAT, BUT THERE IS AN ISSUE THAT HONDA REFUSES TO ADDRESS. THE EVAP SYSTEM IS FLAWED AND ESPECIALLY IN NEW ENGLAND WEATHER, THE CANISTER AND SHUT VALVE GET ATTACKED BY ROAD CONDITIONS IN THE WINTER AND SOMETHING FAILS. WHY SHOULD WE AS CONSUMERS HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR CONSTANTLY WHEN THE ISSUE IS SIMPLY AN OVER-SIGHT ON PACKAGING THE UNIT TO PROTECT IT. LOOK ON THE INTERNET AND RUN CODE P1456 AND P1457. IF YOU LIVE IN NEW ENGLAND YOU WILL HAVE THIS PROBLEM OR YOU WILL BE VERY LUCKY. YOU ASK, HOW DO I KNOW SO MUCH ABOUT THIS? I AM BATTING %100. 3 HONDA ACCORDS 1998-2000 YEAR MODELS AND 3 CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CODE P1457. IT IS PRETTY RIDICULOUS. THEY SHOULD HAVE DONE A VOLUNTARY RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM AGES AGO. I JUST SPENT MONEY TO GET IT FIXED ON THE 2000 HONDA ACCORD. WOULDN'T YOU KNOW, RIGHT AROUND A YEAR AFTER THE 1999 HONDA ACCORD. COINCIDENCE? I THINK NOT. PLEASE TAKE THE TIME AND DO THE RESEARCH. THESE ARE GREAT CARS SO YOU PROBABLY DON'T GET MANY COMPLAINTS, BUT HONDA IS GETTING OVER. THEY SCREWED UP AND THEY KNOW IT. LOOK AT THE NEW HONDA ACCORD, TOTALLY REDESIGNED EVAP CONTROL UNIT. COINCIDENCE? I THINK NOT. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

POWER TRAIN
I WAS DRIVING 70 MILES PER HOUR ON A BUSY FREEWAY WHEN THE VEHICLE DOWN SHIFTED ABRUPTLY AND DRASTICALLY REDUCED IN SPEED. IT REFUSED TO SHIFT INTO HIGHER GEARS, RANDOMLY SPIKED IN ENGINE RPM, AND RESULTED IN A HAZARD DUE TO QUICKLY-APPROACHING TRAFFIC FROM BEHIND. THE VEHICLE'S SPEED HAD REDUCED TO NEARLY 20 MILES PER HOUR IN BUSY FREEWAY TRAFFIC BEFORE I HAD SUCCESSFULLY NAVIGATED THE VEHICLE ACROSS 3 LANES AND ONTO THE SHOULDER. I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND SHIFTED THE TRANSMISSION INTO PARK. I TURNED THE ENGINE BACK ON A FEW MINUTES LATER, AND WAS ABLE TO GET THE TRANSMISSION TO SHIFT AND DRIVE NORMALLY UNTIL THE END OF THE OFF-RAMP. UPON REACHING THE OFF-RAMP'S STOP LIGHT, THE TRANSMISSION DIED AGAIN, AND REFUSED TO ACCELERATE THE CAR. THE ENGINE WAS RESPONDING TO GAS PEDAL INPUTS AS IF IT WERE IN NEUTRAL, ALTHOUGH THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN DRIVE. I WAITED FOR SEVERAL TRAFFIC LIGHT CYCLES, UNABLE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE AND AMID IMPATIENT DRIVERS' CAR HORNS FROM BEHIND ME. THANKFULLY, THE CAR'S TRANSMISSION RESPONDED TEMPORARILY AGAIN, LONG ENOUGH TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE INTO A NEARBY DEALERSHIPS PARKING LOT. WE HAD TO PUSH IT THE LAST FEW FEET INTO THE PARKING SPOT. HERE, THE TRANSMISSION HAD FINALLY FAILED TO THE POINT THAT I COULD NO LONGER SHIFT IT OUT OF PARK. I CALLED MY INSURANCE COMPANY TO GET A TOW TRUCK TO TOW THE VEHICLE 15 MILES BACK TO MY LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP. THEY DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AS A TRANSMISSION FAILURE, WHICH REQUIRED A NEW TRANSMISSION ALTOGETHER. THEY WERE SURPRISED BY THE RELATIVELY LOW MILEAGE, BUT SAID IT WAS A FREQUENT PROBLEM LIKELY DUE TO A DESIGN FLAW IN THE V6 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS ON THESE ACCORDS. I WAS ESPECIALLY DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE I HAD JUST SPENT OVER A THOUSAND DOLLARS IN MAINTENANCE COSTS AT THIS SAME HONDA DEALERSHIP A WEEK BEFORE, WHERE I HAVE CONSISTENTLY MAINTAINED MY VEHICLE.
