| 2001 | EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL:AIR CONDITIONER | WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY LAST YEAR, I HEARD A SCREECHING NOISE UNDER THE HOOD OF MY 2001 HONDA PRELUDE. ABOUT APPROXIMATELY 10 SECONDS LATER I HEARD SOMETHING FALL ONTO THE STREET AND VERY HOT AIR BEGAN BLOWING OUT MY AIR CONDITIONER (WHICH UP UNTIL THAT POINT WAS BLOWING VERY COLD AIR). IT TURNS OUT THAT THE AIR CONDITIONER CLUTCH PULLEY FELL OFF MY CAR AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT BY HONDA. THEY SEEM NOT TO CARE AND THUS REFUSE TO FIX IT. I RESIDE IN ARIZONA WHERE TEMPERATURES REACH 110 PLUS IN THE SUMMER. I HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO NORTH AMERICAN HONDA IN THE HOPES THAT SOME RESOLUTION COULD BE RESOLVED, BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT. AIR CONDITION PULLEYS DO NOT JUST FALL OFF A VEHICLE! *NM |
| 2001 | POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION | MY 5-SPEED TRANMISSION, IS ALWAYS GRINDING, AND THIS LEADS TO TRANSMISSION FAILURE. I HAVE LOST THE REVERSE GEAR 2 TIMES NOW, AND THE TRANSMISSION ALWAYS GRINDS ON UPSHIFT INTO 5TH GEAR. THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS PROBLEM, HOWEVER HONDA WILL NOT REMEDY THE PROBLEM. MANY HONDA TECHNICIANS HAVE TOLD ME THAT THESE TRANSMISSIONS NEED TO BE RECALLED AS THIS IS SUCH A BIG PROBLEM. THE PROBLEMS WITH THIS TRANSMISSION HAS COST ME SUBSTANTIAL DOWNTIME, AND MONEY.*AK |
