Complaint
2003
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL:CATALYTIC CONVERTOR
COMPLAINT RECEIVED VIA E-MAIL. I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW CAR, AND SINCE THEN I HAVE BEEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS AMOUNTS OF TIMES FOR MANY PROBLEMS. FIRST PROBLEM WAS MY BRAKES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT 4600 MILES, BUT WEREN'T REPLACED UNTIL 7700 MILES 3.5 MONTHS LATER DUE TO BACK ORDER. CURRENTLY, WITH 17,900 MILES THE BRAKES WERE GRINDING AGAIN. THIS IS MY 3RD HONDA, AND THE WORSE ONE, YET LIKELY MY LAST. THE SECOND PROBLEM WAS THAT MY RIGHT REAR DOOR WAS LOCKED FOR 3 MONTHS. THE DEALER CLAIMED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS DUE TO GETTING MY WINDOWS TINTED, BUT THEY ATTEMPTED TO FIX THREE TIMES, AND WAS TOLD THE THIRD TIME THE PROBLEM ONLY OCCURS IF THE TEMPERATURE GOES BELOW 32 DEGREES. SINCE THEN THE TEMPERATURE HAS BEEN OVER 32 DEGREES. I ALSO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH SULFUR ODOR COMING FROM THE EXHAUST, AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS NORMAL PROBLEM ,WOULD GO AWAY WITH TIME. BUT AS TIME GOES BY THE ODOR GETS WORSE, AND SMELLS LIKE ROTTEN EGGS. ANOTHER PROBLEM WITH THE CAR IS THE ALIGNMENT HAS BEEN OFF SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR. I HAVE HAD MY OWN MECHANIC LOOK AT THE CAR, AND HE BELIEVES THE CAR WON'T ALIGN CORRECTLY BECAUSE OF THE AXLES. THE FINAL PROBLEM WITH MY PIECE OF CRAP HONDA IS THE DRIVER SEAT ISN'T SECURE, IT SLIDES VERY LITTLE BACK AND FORTH AND SIDE TO SIDE.*AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TRANSMISSION WAS LEAKING EXCESSIVE TRANSMISSIONS FLUID THROUGH THE TRANSMISSION BLOCK AFTER ONLY 1800 MILES ON A NEW 2008 HONDA ACCORD. LOCAL DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDED TRANSMISSION BE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. HONDA USA CUSTOMER SERVICE DENIED RECOMMENDED TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT. DEALER THEN SUGGESTED CUSTOMER CONTACT HONDA USA CUSTOMER SERVICE TO GET TRANSMISSION REPLACED. HONDA TECHNICAL SERVICE REFUSED REPLACEMENT AND WANTED A DYE LEAK TEST OVER A ONE WEEK PERIOD AFTER ACKNOWLEDGING A WIDE SPREAD CONCERN WITH TRANSMISSION LEAKAGE. CUSTOMER REFUSED ONE WEEK TEST DUE TO UPCOMING LONG DISTANCE TRIP AND LEFT VEHICLE WITH DEALER TO CONDUCT DYE TEST. DEALER CONDUCTED DYE TEST WITH ONLY 60 MILES (1 HOUR DRIVE) TO CONFIRM LEAKING TRANSMISSION BLOCK. TRANSMISSION WAS THEN REPLACED BUT ONLY AFTER NEEDLESS INCONVENIENCE TO THE CUSTOMER. THERE APPEARS TO BE NO CURRENT TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN AVAILABLE REGARDING THIS ISSUE? *TR
