PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. I THINK THERE MAY BE A PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES I AM A LOCAL MECHANIC AND I HAVE SEEN THIS MANY TIMES ON MOST ACCORDS THAT HAVE BEEN DRIVEN DOWN FROM THE NORTH. I PURCHASED MY ACCORD USED AND SURE ENOUGH I HAVE COMPONET FAILURE. MY ACCORD WAS ORIGNALY PURCHASSED IN WEST VIRGINA. THE COMPONET THAT FAILES IS THE RIGHT OR LEFT REAR UPPER BALL JOINT THAT IS POSITIONED ON THE UPPER LINK THAT HOLDES THE UPPER SUPPORT FOR THE HUB, IT SEEMS THIS IS A COMPONET THAT FAILES ONLY WHEN EXPOSED TO NORTHERN WEATHER CONDITIONS, IF ANY ADDIONAL INFORMATION IS NEED PLEASE SEND E-MAIL OR FEEL FREE TO CALL ME AT MY WORK PHONE NUMBER, I HAVE NOT REPAIRED THIS CONDITION YET HOWEVER IF I DO I WILL SAVE ALL FAILED COMPONETS, THANKYOU FOR YOU TIME, IF THIS CONCERN IS NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY AND HAS BEEN INVETAGATED PLEASE RESPOND, THANKS AGAIN, TYLER FAHLMAN. *AK

VEHICLE RAN INTO GARGE DOOR DUE TO APPLYING BRAKE PEDAL AND ACCELERATOR PEDAL AT SAME TIME. BELIEVED PROBLEM WAS DUE TO BOTH PEDALS DESIGNED TOO CLOSE TOGETHER. FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS ON THIS MATTER. *AK

WHILE PULLING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE THE VEHICLE WAS HIT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE, THE IMPACT UNLATCHED THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT CAUSING PASSENGERS HEAD TO GO THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD AND KNEES TO GO THROUGH THE DASH BOARD. NLM
