1998 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

I CALLED AMERICAN HONDA AND WAS ASKED WHERE I GOT THE INFO FROM. AND I TOLD THEM THE INTERNET AND WAS THEN ASKED IF IT WAS A HONDA SITE TO WHICH I SAID NO. I WAS THEN TOLD THERE WAS NO SUCH RECALL. NO SAFETY DEFECT MENTIONED. *AK

WHILE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED TO FLOORBOARD CONSUMER NOTICED VEHICLE JERKING HARD. DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

TREADS SEPARATED ON BOTH REAR TIRES @ 37,000 MILES. VEHICLE BECAME VERY UNSTABLE. DEALER ACKNOWLEGED DEFECT AND DISCOUNTED 2 NEW TIRE BUT WITH BOTH TIRES FAILING IT MAY BE A MANUFACTURE PROBLEM THANKS. *AK (TIRESIZE: 14INCH)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 14INCH )

THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FOR MY 1998 HONDA ACCORD FAILED 2500 MILES AFTER THE WARRANTY ENDED. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT TRANSMISSIONS DO NOT FAIL THIS EARLY ON IN THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO MANY MECHANICS WHO ALL STATED THAT THERE MUST BE A DEFECT IN THE TRANSMISSION AND TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER BECAUSE THEY DO NOT GO OUT THIS FAST. EVERYONE BUT HONDA STATES THAT THERE MUST BE A DEFECT. THE HONDA CORPORATION ACCEPTS NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS AND CONTENDS THAT THERE IS NO DEFECT OR RECALL. THROUGH RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS OF TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS FOR THE 1998 ACCORDS ESPECIALLY ON THE NHTSA CONSUMER COMPLAINTS SITE. I FEEL THAT HONDA IS IGNORING/HIDING CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS TO AVOID A RECALL ON THE 1998 HONDA ACCORDS. THIS IS NOT RIGHT THAT THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT SO EARLY ON IN THE CAR'S LIFE AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I KNOW THAT THIS MUST BE GOING ON ON A LARGER SCALE PROBABLY ALL OVER THE COUNTRY AND BEING IGNORED BY THE DEALERS.*AK

EXTREME WEAR AND DELAMINATION ON BOTH FRONT TIRES DISPITE FREQUENT MAINTENANCE (TIRESIZE: P205/65R)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P205/65R )

WHILE CONSUMER WAS ATTEMPTING TO PARK THE VEHICLE IT SUDDENLY ACCELERATED CAUSING THE CONSUMER TO RUN INTO A HOUSE ACROSS THE STREET(ATTORNEY FOR CLIENT). NLM

MY VEHICLE WAS HIT DIRECTLY FROM BEHIND AT HIGH IMPACT. AT IMPACT, MY DRIVER'S SEAT WENT TO THE RECLINING POSITION. AFTER THE IMPACT, IT WAS NOTED THAT THE MANUAL SEAT BACK ADJUSTMENT LEVER HAD BEEN PULLED COMPLETELY OFF OF THE SEAT, APPARENTLY DUE TO ENTANGLEMENT WITH THE SEAT BELT DURING THE IMPACT.*AK

WHILE MAKING A U TURN BALL JOINT SEPARATED FROM VEHICLE. IT JUST HAPPENED LIKE MENTIONED IN RECALL 99V069000, BALL JOINT CAN PREMATURELY WEAR OUT AND SEPARATE.*AK

THE STEERING WHEEL IN MY VEHICLE HAS SLACK IN IT SOMETIMES AND GET HARD TO CONTROL. *AK

MY CAR WAS REPAIRED AT THIS DEALERSHIP, BECAUSE COGGIN HONDA COULDN'T TAKE MY CAR BECAUSE STATED THERE WERE 8 OTHER CAR THAT WERE DAMAGED DUE TO THE RAIN, BUT PURCHASED AT COGGIN HONDA IN 7/98. HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO TAKE IT TO DUVAL HONDA. THEY TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T TELL ME WHERE THE LEAK IS IN MY CAR. THEY ALSO DAMAGED THE LEATHER INTERIOR ON THE FRONT DOORS WHILE IN THEIR CARE. 2 HOLES ARE ON THE DOOR., PLUS SCRATCHES ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR. THEY WERE NOT HELPFUL AT ALL. I HAD TO PAY $500 AND NOW THE CAR IS STILL DAMAGED. *AK
