NHTSA CASE # [XXX] MY POWER STEERING RETURN LINE IN MY 1999 HONDA ACCORD EQUIPPED WITH A 3 LITER V6 ENGINE FAILED AND STARTED LEAKING VERY BADLY. THE POWER STEERING LINE CONNECTS WITH THE POWER STEERING HOSES. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THIS PROBLEM OCCURS QUITE FREQUENTLY ON ACCORDS WITH V6 ENGINES. THE REASON I'M CONTACTING YOU IS THE CURRENT RECALL OF DEFECTIVE POWER STEERING LINES AND HOSES ON 2003-2007 HONDA ACCORDS EQUIPPED WITH 6 CYLINDER ENGINES. ALTHOUGH MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, HONDA MAY NOT BE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM OCCURRING ON 6-CYLINDER ACCORDS IN YEARS OTHER THAN 2003-2007. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE CLEAR COAT/PAINT IS PEELING/WEARING OFF OF MY 1999 HONDA ACCORD. IT IS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LOOK HORRIBLE. THOUSANDS OF OTHER HONDA OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. CLEARLY THIS IS A RESULT OF DEFECTIVE PAINT. I PREVIOUSLY OWNED A 1993 ACCORD AND AT 196,000 MILES, THE PAINT LOOKED A HUNDRED TIMES BETTER THEN THE PAINT ON MY 1999. TO HAVE THE CAR REPAINTED, IT WILL COST OVER $1000. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND HONDA SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS DEFECT AND THE PAINT BE RECALLED. *TR

THE CAR CUTS OFF AT ANY GIVING TIME THE LIGHTS ARE DIM AND THE ELECTRICAL IS MALFUNTIONING. *TR
