THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE POWER SEAT BROKE. SOMETHING ON THE SEAT BROKE THAT CAUSED THE SEAT BACK TO ROCK BACK. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL YEARS AGO. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THEY SAID IT WOULD COST $1500 TO $2000 TO REPLACE THE SEAT. THE CAR WAS DRIVABLE. EARLIER THIS YEAR, A BRACKET THAT HELD THE SEAT TO THE FLOOR BROKE, CAUSING THE SEAT TO SEPARATE FROM THE FLOOR. THE CAR WAS NOT DRIVABLE. I HAD THE BRACKET WELDED SO THAT I COULD DRIVE THE CAR. ON APRIL 11, 2012, DIFFERENT BRACKET ON THE SEAT BROKE. THE CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AGAIN BECAUSE THE SEAT ROCKS BACK WHEN YOU ACCELLERATE OR STOP. IT LOOKS LIKE METAL FATIGUE AT BOTH PLACES. *TR

I OWN A 2002 HONDA ACCORD AND THE "SRS" LIGHT REMAINS ON CONSTANTLY. I GOOGLED THIS ISSUE AND APPARENTLY HUNDREDS OF HONDA ACCORD OWNERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. THE SRS APPARENTLY DEALS WITH THE SEATBELT RESTRAINT SYSTEM WHICH IS AN APPARENT DEFECT WITH HONDA. *TR

WHEN AT A STOP SIGN I PRESS ACCELERATOR AND THE CAR JERKS FORWARD UNTIL TRANSMISSION ENGAGES. DIAGNOSED BY HONDA AS TRANSMISSION INTERNAL FAILURE AT 54,856 MILES. *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2002 HONDA ACCORD IN 2007 AND WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER I PURCHASED IT FROM THAT THEY HAD REPAIRED THE TRANSMISSION AS PART OF HONDA'S RECALL. I BEGAN LEAKING TRANSMISSION FLUID AND SHORTLY AFTER, THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO HESITATE. WHEN I AM MOVING FROM A STOPPED POSITION, THE ENGINE REV'S UP BUT THE VEHICLE WILL NOT MOVE THEN SUDDENLY THE VEHICLE WILL TAKE OFF. I AM TERRIFIED OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE. I AM AFRAID OF CROSSING TRAFFIC, MAKING TURNS IN FEAR THAT THE VEHICLE WILL HESITATE AND NOT MOVE IN AND I WILL BE HIT BY AN ONCOMING VEHICLE. THIS IS A KNOWN RECALL FROM HONDA CORPORATION AND UNFORTUNATELY DUE TO THE DEALER MISREPRESENTING PERFORMING THE RECALL WORK, I AM NOW STUCK WITH THE VEHICLE AND ITS REPAIR COSTS. *TR
