1999
POWER TRAIN
I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW IN 1999 WHILE WORKING AS A SALESMAN FOR A HONDA DEALERSHIP.ITS ALWAYS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED AS IT IS THE ONLY TRANSPORTATION I HAVE.I NO LONGER WORK AT THE DEALERSHIP BUT MY LITTLE BOY NEEDS A WAY TO GET TO VARIOUS ACTIVITIES AS WELL AS SCHOOL.WE DEPEND ON THIS MACHINE AND HONDAS REPUTATION TO GET THINGS DONE.AROUND 76000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SHIFT HARD AND NOT WANT TO GO INTO GEAR. AFTER CHECKING AROUND VARIOUS SHOPS AND THE INTERNET I WAS SURPRISED TO FIND OUT THAT SO MANY OTHER OWNERS OF 1999-2002 ACCORDS HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS OR WORST.SOME WITH ONLY 50000 MILES HAD TO BE REPLACED.I'M PRETTY SURE THIS IS AN AMERICAN HONDA DEAL AS THE JAPANESE PEOPLE WOULD BACK UP THEIR PRODUCTS.ONCE AGAIN WE GET SCREWED BY OUR FELLOW GREEDY AMERICANS.I WILL NOT BE BUYING ANOTHER HONDA PRODUCT BE IT A LAWNMOWER,CAR,MOTORCYCLE,GENERATOR OR PAPER BAG FOR THAT MATTER.I WILL ALSO WARN EVERYONE I KNOW BY INTERNET AND CARRIER PIDGEON ABOUT AMERICAN HONDA AND THEIR LACK OF ETHICS.WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND! *TT
