HONDA 08L14-E09-100 Complaints

WE BOUGHT A NEW 2008 HONDA ACCORD, WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT WITH THE DEFROSTER OR THE AC ON THE HEAD LIGHTS WILL DIME, AT FIRST ALMOST TO DARK, THE DEALER HAS REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR AND THE FUSE BOX THIS DID HELP A LITTLE, BUT NOW ITS NOTHING THE KNOW TO DO THE RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE CALL THE 800 # FOR HONDA AND THEY SAY THIS IS NORMAL, I DO NOT AGREE WITH THIS ANSWER AT ALL. HELP WITH THIS WOULD BE GREAT THANKS. *TR

PURCHASED A USED 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY IN 2005; AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE THE VEH WAS STILL UNDER LIMITED MANUFACTURES WARRANTY. VERY WELL AWARE OF THE TRANSMISSION RECALL. WE ARE NOW GOING ON OUR 4TH TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT SINCE THE PURCHASE. THE LAST REPLACEMENT WAS IN FEBRUARY 2008; THEY MADE ME FIGHT FOR A WARRANTY ON THAT REFURBISHED / REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION 3 YEAR OR 36,000 MILES. WELL THIS ONE BARELY LASTED 12,000 MILES AND I AM COMPLETELY FED UP. MY WIFE TRANSPORTS MY REMAINING 4 SCHOOL AGED CHILDREN AROUND. THIS VEHICLE HAS STALLED ON NUMEROUS TIMES IN BUSY TRAFFIC, AND THIS TIME AROUND I WILL NOT EXCEPT A REFURBISHED OR REBUILT OR USED TRANNY. I WILL FIGHT FOR A NEW ONE, OR A COMPLETE REFUND OF THE MONEY SPENT! *TR

WE OWN A 2007 HONDA CIVIC DX WHICH HAS HAD A CHRONIC PROBLEM WITH THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR FAILING TWICE BEFORE AND, NOW, BOTH THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND PASSENGER'S SIDE SUN VISORS HAVE FAILED. EACH TIME A HONDA DEALER HAS REPLACED THE DEFECTIVE PART. THE SAFETY ISSUE IS THAT, WITH THE DRIVER'S SIDE MALFUNCTIONING, THE DRIVER HAS TO HOLD THE VISOR OUT OF HIS / HER LINE OF SITE LEAVING ONLY ONE HAND TO DRIVE THE CAR. THE MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN CONTACTED AND HAS SAID IT WILL REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE PART AS IT OCCURS, HOWEVER, THIS PART SHOULD BE EXAMINED AND RE-ENGINEERED TO GIVE CONSISTENT, SAFE SERVICE. *TR

I HAVE A 2002 CRV NOW WITH 139,000 THIS IS THE 4TH TIME MY AIR COMPRESSOR HAS GONE OUT ON THIS CAR AND HONDA REFUSES TO TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY. THE FIRST TIME IT WENT OUT WAS IN JULY 2003 AT 31842 MLS, JULY 2004 AT 46,997 MLS, MAY 2006 AT 99,384 AND NOW JUNE 2008 AT 139,000. THE FIRST 2 TIMES IT WENT OUT IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY THE 3RD TIME HONDA SAID THEY WOULD FIX IT BECAUSE IT WAS STILL UNDER 100K AND NOW THEY ARE SAYING THAT I SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE EVEN KNOW THEY KNOW THEY ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH THE COMPRESSORS IN 2002 AND 2003 CRV. *TR

ON THURSDAY, MAY 8, 2008, I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW HONDA METROPOLITAN SCOOTER FROM LAKE CITY POWER SPORTS AT 12048 LAKE CITY WAY N.E., SEATTLE, WA 98125. IN A MATTER OF FOUR DAYS, A NUMBER OF INCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED. IMMEDIATELY AFTER LEAVING THE STORE, I NOTICED THE MIRROR WAS LOOSE. MY BOYFRIEND, ANTHONY SHEARS, TOOK THE SCOOTER TO THE SHOP THE NEXT DAY, FRIDAY MAY 9, TO GET IT TIGHTENED. AGAIN, THE MIRROR CAME LOOSE AND ANTHONY HAD TO BRING IT BACK A SECOND TIME FOR TIGHTENING. ON SATURDAY MAY 10, ANTHONY WENT TO THE SHOP AGAIN BECAUSE THE BLINKER WAS STUCK. ALTHOUGH THE BLINKER SWITCH WAS IN THE RIGHT PLACE (IN THE MIDDLE WHICH SHOULD RESULT IN NO BLINKING), THE RIGHT BLINKER WOULDN'T STOP. ALSO ON SATURDAY WE NOTICED THE SPEEDOMETER AND ODOMETER HAD STOPPED WORKING. *TR

MY 99 HONDA ACCORD EX CUTS OFF WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD WITHOUT WARNING. THIS IS DUE TO IGNITION SENSOR WHICH I CORRECTED SHORTLY AFTER BUYING MY CAR WITH RICK HENDRICK HONDA. NOW YEARS LATER THERE IS A RECALL ON THE IGNITION INTERLOCK. BUT, HONDA WILL NOT FIX THE IGNITION SENOR BECAUSE IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE RECALL. CERTAINLY THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY MATTER AND I FEEL IT'S UNFAIR THAT HONDA WILL ONLY FIX HALF OF THE PROBLEM AND BURDEN THE COST TO ME. I DON'T THINK I'M ALONE WITH THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER. I FEEL I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS IGNITION SENSOR. I HAD THE RECALL IGNITION INTERLOCK FIX AT HONDA OF COLUMBIA, P.O. BOX 8234 , COLUMBIA, SC 29202. *TR

I BOUGHT A USED 2003 HONDA ODYSSEY FROM POWER HONDA OF VALENCIA IN DECEMBER 2007. IN APRIL 2008 THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF SECOND GEAR OR GO FASTER THAN 35 MPH. THE RPMS WOULD REV VERY HIGH 5K+. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION. AMERICAN HONDA OFFERED ME A 25% DISCOUNT ON A REBUILT TRANSMISSION, BUT I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR 4 MONTHS AGO AND I FEEL THAT OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM LEADING ME TO BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE BAD HONDA TRANSMISSION. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 EX-L HONDA ODYSSEY WITH 11000 MILES ON IT. I HAVEN'T DRIVEN IT MUCH YET. I'VE NOTICED THAT MY A/C HAS STOPPED WORKING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY TOLD ME THAT A ROCK HAS HIT A A/C CONDENSER AND FREON HAS LEAKED OUT AND IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND WOULD COST ME $960. I CALLED AMERICAN HONDA AT 1-800-999-1009 TO COMPLAIN BUT THEY REJECTED MY CLAIM. I'M SEEING NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE WITH SAME ISSUE. I DON'T THINK IT'S A COINCIDENCE, BUT RATHER A PROBLEM WITH THE DESIGN. *TR

SUBJECT: 1998 HONDA ACCORD 117,000 MILES. EVENTS THAT LED TO COMPLAINT: VEHICLE ENGINE AND ALL ELECTRICAL COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN LEAVING NO CONTROL OVER VEHICLE: NO LIGHTS, NO BRAKES, NO STEERING, NO SIGNALS, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. A SUDDEN AND COMPLETE LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL WITH 2-3 KIDS IN CAR AND 2 ADULTS. WE WENT ON LINE FOR RECALL NOTICES AND FOUND THE FOLLOWING: COMPLIANT: RECALL # 02V120000,MAY 16TH, 2002' & 03V423000 OCT 27,2003' "IGNITION SWITCH CONTACTS WORN OUT CAUSING THE ENGINE TO STALL WITH OUT WARNING". "CATASTROPHIC FAILURE!" HONDA OF OXNARD REPLACED PART BACK ON MAY 2002' WITH SAME FAULTY PART. REGISTERED COMPLIANT 4/3/08 WITHOUT RESOLUTION WITH HONDA AMERICA AND HONDA OF OXNARD DCH: HONDA AMERICA CASE # N012008-04-0200208 - SENIOR REGIONAL CASE MANAGER:JAMAHL BROWN 1-800-999-1009 X118263. JAMAHL ASKED THAT WE TAKE THE SUBJECT CAR IN TO DCH HONDA OF OXNARD FOR DIAGNOSTIC TO CONFIRM FAILURE. FAILURE WAS CONFIRMED BY CLINT STREMCHA-SERVICE TECH, ROSE SIELA - SERVICE MANAGER, TO BE THE "IGNITION SWITCH"! SAME AS RECALLED PART. I BROUGHT THE RESULTS BACK TO JAMAHL BROWN AT HONDA AMERICA AND HE SAID HE WOULD NOT PERFORM ANY GOOD WILL BECAUSE OF AGE OF VEHICLE. I STATED TO HIM THAT THIS CAR WAS STILL ON THE ROUND TRANSPORTING KIDS TO AND FROM SCHOOL DAILY. A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THIS MAGNITUDE COULD CAUSE GREAT BODILY INJURY OR DEATH. HE REPLIED THAT IS MY PROBLEM AND THAT I NEED TO KEEP THE VEHICLE SERVICED. I FURTHER EXPLAINED THIS PART IS NOT A SERVICEABLE PART LIKE BRAKES AND OIL ARE. I ALSO SAID I HAVE A HONDA THAT HAS 200,000 MILES THAT IS STILL ON THE ROAD WITHOUT INCIDENT. I ASKED HIM WHY DID HE ASK ME TO TAKE THE CAR TO HONDA TO IT GET DIAGNOSED TO CONFIRM THE FAILED PART? WITH OUT ANSWERING THE QUESTION HE SAID HE WOULD STAND BY HIS DECISION NOT OFFER ME ANY FINANCIAL SUPPORT OR SOLUTION TO THIS FAILURE. END OF EXPLANATION. *TR

CD PLAYER MALFUNCTION, NOT A MECHANICAL FAILURE, 2003 FIRST MODEL YEAR OF THE ACCORD LX MAKEOVER, HIGH HEAT BUILDS UP IN THE DASHBOARD WHEN ON THE FREEWAY WITH HEATER AND PLAYER ON. CD ARE VERY HOT. DIGITAL DISPLAY "ERR" OR "BUSY",THIS HAPPENED AT 18,000 MILES,(COVERED BY WARRANTY) WHEN DRIVING ON VACATION IN LATE FALL, 2ND FIX AT 75,000,DEALER REDUCE CHARGE OF NEW INSTALLATION, AT 100,000 MILES BURNED OUT AGAIN, ON FREEWAY EACH WEEK SINCE I OWNED THE CAR AT LEAST 2 HRS. DEALER DENIAL OF ANY RESPONSIBILITY, SERVICE-PERSON,ACKNOWLEDGED PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL YEAR, BUT ON THIRD VISIT DENIED HE MADE SUCH STATEMENTS. NOT A BOOMBOX PROBLEM, I PLAY MOSTLY CLASSICAL MUSIC, WHEN I DO, NOT FROM OVERUSE! NO COMPUTER CD EVER PLAYED, ONLY COMMERCIAL CD'S PLAYED. IT STILL LOADS AND REJECTS AS NORMAL BUT DISPLAYS ERROR MESSAGE, AND BUSY MESSAGE. SERVICE TOLD ME THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH ALL 2003 ACCORDS, THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED IN THE 2004 MODEL. I WOULD LIKE HONDA TO ASSUME COSTS AND FIX MY PLAYER.....PLEASE. CD ARE NOT WARM, THEY ARE VERY, VERY HOT WHEN PLACED ON TO THE CHEEK, AT FIRST ALARMED ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF A FIRE, SO I EMPTIED OUT THE PLAYER AND HOPED THAT I WOULD NOT HAVE TO PULL OVER. *TR
