I AM THE FIRST OWNER OF 2003 ACCORD, EX. MY CAR HAS 113,000 MILES ON IT. ITS A WELL MAINTAINED CAR I KEPT FOR YEARS. I MUST SAY THAT THIS CAR IS EXCELLENT, HOWEVER, THERE ARE SIGNS THAT SOME PARTS ARE NOT FUNCTIONING REALLY WELL LATELY. FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS, I NOTICED MY TCS SIGN ON THE DASHBOARD COMES ON AND OFF TOGETHER WITH THE TRIANGLE SIGN IN ORANGE. IT STARTED COMING ON AFTER I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION TO MY FIRST DESTINATION AND AFTER JUST LIKE 10-15 MINUTES AND START MY ENGINE AGAIN, IT WILL COME ON AFTER DRIVING FOR NEXT 5-10 MINUTES. ALSO, JUST TWO WEEKS AGO I NOTICED THAT THE GEAR GETS STUCK ON "PARK" MODE AND I HAVE TO PRESS THE HANDLE BEFORE IT GETS RELEASED. I AM NOT SURE IF THE GEAR HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE TCS AND TRIANGLE SHOWING ON THE DASHBOARD. ALSO, I NOTICED MY CAR HAS AN ISSUE WITH BRAKES WHEN DRIVING WHILE RAINING. I HAVE TO STEP ON THE BRAKES A FEW TIMES WHEN ITS SLIPPERY TO BE ABLE TO COME TO A FULL STOP. IT'S SO SCARY THAT I ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME A FEW TIMES. I AM LODGING MY COMPLAIN SO THE MANUFACTURER WOULD TAKE A LOOK ON THIS ISSUE AS I FOUND ALL THE COMPLAINTS ON TCS ISSUE ON 2003 HONDA ACCORD EX ONLINE WHEN I WAS TRYING TO LOOK FOR A SOLUTION ON THE SAME ISSUE FOR MY CAR. *TR

VISIBILITY
AFFECTED PARTS: WINDSHIELD AND WIPERS. THIS HAPPENED DURING THE DAY TIME, ABOUT 8:45 AM: A GENTLE RAIN WAS ENCOUNTERED SO I TURNED ON THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS TO SLOW AND STEADY (NOT INTERMITTENT). THE WATER PILED UP ON THE WINDSHIELD TO THE LEFT BY THE DOOR POST AND TO THE RIGHT NEAR THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD AND CONTINUED TO STAY THERE UNTIL I SLOWED DOWN TO TURN OFF THE ROAD. THE RIGHT SIDE (PASSENGER SIDE) WAS CLEAR. THE WATER RESTRICTED MY VIEW TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT (FROM THE LEFT DOOR POST TO ABOUT 10:30 CLOCK POSITION, AND FROM ABOUT 1:30 TO 2:30 POSITION. DANGEROUS IN STANDARD DAYLIGHT, BUT THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS AT NIGHT, OR WITH A MUCH HEAVIER RAIN. THE CAR IS NEW AND THIS IS MY FIRST EXPERIENCE WITH ENOUGH RAIN THAT I'VE HAD TO TURN THE WIPERS ON STEADY. *TR
