1999 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

THE REAR-COMPUTERIZED MOTOR MOUNT ON MY HONDA IS DEFECTIVE ACCORDING TO HONDA. THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM ON THE 1998 AND 1999 ACCORDS, HOWEVER, THEY SAY THEY CAN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED AFTER IT HAS BEEN SITTING FOR TWO HOURS OR MORE, OR WHILE ACCELERATING, THE ENGINE SHIFTS AND THE REAR MOUNT COLLAPSES ENOUGH TO MAKE CONTACT WITH THE STOPPER ON THE BODY OF THE CAR. THIS RESULTS IN A LOUD THUNK AT START UP AND, WHILE DRIVING, A LOUD THUD AND I HAVE RECENTLY EXPERIENCED A WEIRD FEELING IN MY STEERING WHEEL. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE BEEN VERY COOPERATIVE IN TELLING ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO UNTIL HONDA CORP. AUTHORIZES A RECALL OR A SPECIFIC FIX FOR MY CAR. I AM CURRENLY IN CONTACT WITH THEIR ZONE OFFIC IN TORRANCE CALIFORNIA. THE CASE NUMBER FOR MY CAR IS 98-12-23-00001 AND THEIR PHONE NUMBER IS 800-999-1009.

I FEEL THERE IS A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM WITH THE REAR SEAT BELTS. WHEN YOU PUT THEM ON, THEY LOCK TIGHT AROUND YOUR NECK AND YOU CAN NOT LOOSEN THEM UNLESS YOU UNHOOK THEM AND LET THE BELT GO ALL THE WAY BACK. I WENT TO THE DEALER TODAY TO SEE IF THIS WAS A DEFECT AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS WHAT THEY ARE SUPOSED TO DO. IF THESE BELTS DO NOT GIVE DURING A COLLISION, THEY WILL BREAK YOUR NECK OR CHOKE YOU TO DEATH. PLEASE ADVISE. I THOUGHT SEAT BELTS WERE MENT TO BE ADJUSTABLE.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE A MECHANICAL BEARING SOUND COMES FROM THE TRANSMISSION. WHEN TAKING TO THE DEALERSHIP, OWNER WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *AK

CONSUMER WAS BACKING UP HIS CAR HE NOTICED THAT A PUDDLE THAT WAS ORANGE IN COLOR COMMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION. THE CONSUMER STATED THAT HE TOOK HIS CAR TO THE DEALER ON NOV 23, 1998, THE DEALER STATED THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO. *AK
