VEHICLE WILL STALL INTERMITTENTLY AND ,WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. IT WILL NOT CRANK BACK UP RIGHT AWAY, CAUSING A SAFETY HAZARD. DEALER CANNOT DUPLICATE DEFECT AND DETERMINE CAUSE.*AK

HORN INTERMITTENTLY FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. DEALER REPLACED AIRBAG MECHANISM AND CABLE INTO STEERING WHEEL, BUT PROBLEM STILL OCCURRED. VEHICLE BROUGHT BACK TO DEALER AND THEY REPLACED STEERING COLUMN AT RECOMMENDATION OF HONDA, PROBLEM SOLVED. *AK *ML

GAS PEDAL STICKS AND MUST BE PRESSED TOO HARD TO GET CAR GOING WHICH CAUSES CAR TO GO OUT OF CONTROL. *AK

THE GAS PEDAL REPEATEDLY STICKS REQUIRING EXCESSSIVE PRESSURE TO GET THE CAR MOVING. THE CAR THEN DANGEROUSLY LURCHES FORWARD. THE DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED AND ACKNOWLEDGES THE PROBLEM AND THAT IT HAS BEEN REPORTED IN OTHER HONDAS. THEY HAVE NO FIX FOR THE PROBLEM, EXCEPT TO CLEAN THE LINKAGE WHICH HELPS FOR 2-3000 MILES. *AK

I NOTICED THE ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM AT AROUND 7K MILES, BUT I DID NOT BELIEVE IT AT FIRST. I CHECKED THE OIL LEVEL ONCE A WEEK. THE ENGINE BURNS CLOSE TO 3/4 QUART OF OIL EVERY 1,000 MILES, BUT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP SAID IT'S FINE. I BELIEVE IT IS EXCESSIVE FOR A RELATIVELY NEW CAR, AND HONDA HAS A KNOWN REPUTATION FOR EXCELLENCE IN RELABILITY AND LOW MAINTENACE. *AK

CAR SHIMMIED AT 20 MPH. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER, AND THEY SAID IT WAS CONSUMER'S FAULT, AND THEY WERE NOT GOING TO REPAIR IT. *AK

FUEL GAUGE WAS NOT REGISTERING THE PROPER AMOUNT OF FUEL IN THE FUEL TANK. DEALER NOTIFIED, AND INFORMED CONSUMER THAT THIS PART WAS NOT COVERED UNDER A MANUFACTURER'S RECALL, AND REPAIRS WOULD BE MADE AT CONSUMER EXPENSE. *AK

WHEN TAKING OFF AT LOW SPEEDS THE CAR WILL HESITATE AND THEN TAKE OFF. AT AROUND 45 MPH IT WILL ALSO HESITATE. THIS HAS HAPPEND HUNDERDS OF TIMES. THE DEALER SPENT A WHOLE WEEKEND WITH THE CAR AND FOUND NOTHING. MY WIFE WENT THERE DROVE IT AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. TH KEPT THE CAR FOR A WEEK AND DID NOT FIND ANYTHING, THE DEALER CLAIMS THAT THAT IS THE WAY THE CAR WORKS. MY 91 ACCORD HAS NEEVR DONE THIS. *AK

I BROUGHT THE CAR TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS FOR THEM TO FIX THE RATTLING NOISE FROM THE WINDOWS. I ALSO SPOKE TO THE REGIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE AND DISTRICT SERVICE MANAGER TO FIND A SOLUTION TO FIX MY CAR BUT IT STILL MAKING THE SMAKES NOISE. I BELIEVE I GOT A LEMON. THEREFORE, I HOPE MANUFACTURER WOULD HELP SOLVING THE PROBLEM.*AK
