2000 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO TRANSMISSION FAILURE. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED WHILE DRIVING ONE NIGHT, THE VEHICLE STARTED MAKING STRANGE NOISES AND IT WOULD NOT PICK UP SPEED AFTER BRAKING OR HALTING AT TRAFFIC SIGNALS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND INSPECTED. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER, THERE WAS KNOWN RECALL ON THE VEHICLE REGARDING THE TRANSMISSION. THE CONSUMER STATED HE WAS NEVER NOTIFIED ABOUT THE RECALL.

I FEAR MY VEHICLE IS BEING DENIED A RECALL DUE TO IT BY HONDA. MY VEHICLE FAILED ITS ANNUAL EMISSIONS TEST ON AUG. 22. THE STATE SENT ME A NOTICE INFORMING ME THAT MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD WAS PART OF A RECALL CLASS IN 2004 THAT WAS CONNECTED TO AN EMISSIONS PROBLEM. I RECEIVED NO ALERT FROM HONDA ABOUT SUCH A RECALL. WHEN I ASKED HONDA ABOUT IT THIS WEEK, THEY TOLD ME MY CAR WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL CLASS. AND THEY CLAIMED THAT THEY COULD DETERMINE THIS BY MY CAR'S VIN -- THAT THE VIN INDICATED IT WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL CLASS. SO I AM ASKING FOR YOUR HELP TO DETERMINE IF MY VEHICLE IS PART OF THE RECALL. BASED ON MY REVIEW OF YOUR "2004 ANNUAL SUMMARY OF EMISSION RELATED RECALL" (HTTP://WWW.EPA.GOV/OTAQ/CERT/RECALL/420B05022.PDF), IT SEEMS LIKE IT IS PART OF THE CLASS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP. *TR

RECENTLY BOUGHT A 2000 HONDA ACCORD IN GREAT CONDITION. UPON INSPECTION NOTICED THAT THERE THE FRONT SUSPENSION CROSS MEMBER/SUBFRAME WAS ROTTED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS ONLY ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. UPON RESEARCHING ONLINE HAVE NOTICED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER OWNERS ABOUT THE AC UNIT LEAKING AND ROTTING OUT THAT PART OF THE SUB FRAME. *TR

I BOUGHT A HONDA ACCORD WITH 162,000 MILES ON IT AND WAS TOLD ALL IT NEEDED WAS BRAKES AND ROTORS. WHEN I WAS REPLACING THE BRAKES AND ROTOR ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE I INSPECTED ALL OTHER PARTS AS WELL AND THAT'S WHEN I NOTICED THE BIG PROBLEM. THE SUB FRAME WAS ROTTED OUT. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR AND THAT HONDA RECOGNIZES THIS BUT FAILS TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THE AIR CONDITION DRAIN IS POSITIONED SO THAT IT IS CONSTANTLY DRIPPING ON TO THAT PART OF THE SUB FRAME. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND I WAS ADVISED NOT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE UNTIL I HAD THE PART REPLACED. I RESEARCHED THE PRICE AND LABOR FOR THE PART : PART: $600+ HONDA GARAGE. LABOR: $500+ HONDA GARAGE. HONDA NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS AS OTHER HONORABLE COMPANIES HAVE. *TR
