CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON IN THE VEHICLE, ALTHOUGH PERFORM WAS GREAT. STATE REQUIREMENTS FOR MOTOR VEHICLE REGISTRATION RECENTLY CHANGED. CATALYTIC CONVERTER FAILURE, 02 SENSOR (BOTH) FAILURE, PROBLEM PERSISTS. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON. AS OF TODAY, NO HELP FROM HONDA, ALTHOUGH MANY ATTEMPTS HAVE BEEN MADE. PROBLEM BEGAN A FEW MONTHS AFTER CAR PURCHASE. WHILE UNDER WARRANTY TECHNICIANS REITERATED THERE WAS NO PROBLEM AND RESET LIGHT MANY TIMES. NOW THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM; EVERY YEAR FACED WITH SAME ISSUE. NOT MENTION VEHICLE DOES NOT PERFORM AT OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE LEVEL. VEHICLE LOSES GAS.

THIS DEALERSHIP IS SERRAMONTE HONDA THEIR CONTACT NUMBER IS (650) 758-4800. I WOULD LIKE THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED BEFORE MY INSURANCE EXPIRES. PH

THE CONSUMER HAS EXPERIENCED AN IGNITION SWITCH AND STEERING RECALL WITH THIS VEHICLE. (RECALL # FOR THE IGNITION PROBLEM IS-02V120000) SCC

I OWN A 1998 HONDA ACCORD WITH 44,000 MILES. I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW IN 1998. I AM NOW HAVING SERIOUS TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR - LURCHING AND BUMPING. WHEN I PRESENTED THE PROBLEM TO HONDA, THEY SAID THAT I MUST PAY FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION BECAUSE THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. CAN HONDA GET AWAY WITH THIS? I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS THE HONDA CAR COMPANY. I PURCHASED THE CAR BECAUSE OF HONDA'S TRACK-RECORD OF RELIABILITY.

WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, CONSUMER STATES ONCE YOU SLOW DOWN TO EXIT THE VEHICLE WILL STALL OUT. CAUSE IS UNKNOWN. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. TS
