2003 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

POWER STEERING HOSE CAME APART WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREET. STEERING SUDDENLY BECAME DIFFICULT, WHEN I GOT HOME THERE AN EXECUTIVE AMOUNT OF POWER STEERING FLUID UNDER THE CAR ON THE DRIVEWAY. WHEN I INSPECTED UNDER THE HOOD, THE POWER STEERING HOSE HAD COME APART.

I JUST BOUGHT MY HONDA ACCORD 2003 FROM A USED CAR DEALER AND IT HAD 120XXX MILES LITERALLY DROVE IT TWO MONTHS AND IT BROKE DOWN MECHANIC SAID IT WAS THE TEANSMISSION SO I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND I SEEN THAT THESE ACCORDS HAVE BAD TRANSMISSIONS EVERYWHERE I SEEN SOMEONE HAD A PROBLEM WITH TRANS I CHECKED IF THERE WAS A RECALL BUT THEY SAID THERE WASN'T THIS IS REALLY DISAPPOINTED KNOWING I I LYNCH HAD IT TWO MONTHS AND HAVING THE SAME ISSUE OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING

CATASTROPHIC CENTRIFUGAL EXPLOSION OF A FIRESTONE AFFINITY TOURING TIRE WHILE TRAVELLING ON A CONGESTED INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AT A FAIRLY HIGH RATE OF SPEED (65MPH). THE FORCE OF THE EXPLOSION TORE OFF THE BUMPER VALANCE, BUMPER CUSHION, BELLY PAN, INNER FENDER WELLS, FENDER SKIRT, FENDER TO BODY MOUNTS AND DAMAGED THE FENDER AND SAME-SIDE DOOR. THE DEBRIS SHOWERED INTO TRAFFIC. TIRE WAS PURCHASED NEW AT A FIRESTONE DEALER IN 2014 AND HAD 26K MILES ACCORDING TO THE FIGURE ON WARRANTY. IT HAD NO INJURIES AND WAS NEVER REPAIRED. IT'S SPEED RATING WAS 92T AND IT WAS MANUFACTURED IN WEEK 31 OF 2012. THIS TIRE AS WELL AS OTHER THREE SHOWED SIGNS OF PREMATURE WEAR AND DETERIORATION. HAVE PURCHASE RECEIPT AND WARRANTY TO SUPPORT THE CLAIM OF PREMATURE WEAR AND DETERIORATION. HAVE THE TIRE AND CAR ALSO. PHOTOGRAPHS ARE AVAILABLE AND HAVE BEEN UPLOADED TO A GOOGLE'S DATA BASE FOR "FIRESTONE CENTRIFUGAL TIRE EXPLOSION."

TRANSMISSION WAS BAD AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. NEW TRANSMISSION WAS BAD ALSO. WASTED MONEY FOR THE SAME THING MULTIPLE TIMES AND HONDA WILL NOT HELP. THIS YEAR MAKE AND MODEL IS ONLY COMPATIBLE WITH THE SAME EXACT MAKE MODEL AND YEAR. IT IS HARD TO FIND A TRANSMISSION, AND AFTER SEEING THE RECALL AND IT MATCHING BOTH TRANSMISSIONS I DON'T SEE WHY WE SHOULD HAVE TO KEEP SPENDING MONEY ON FAULTY PARTS. ALL THE TRANSMISSIONS FOR THIS VEHICLE HAD RECALLS AND WERE FAULTY. WE WANT HONDA'S HELP TO FIX IT FOR GOOD SINCE NO OTHER MECHANIC CAN FIGURE IT OUT AND WE HAVE SPENT MONEY BACK TO BACK ON THE SAME THING. THIS YEAR MAKE AND MODEL WAS TERRIBLE FOR TRANSMISSION FAILURES. I FEEL IT IS WRONG TO HAVE YOUR CUSTOMERS BUY TRANSMISSIONS THAT HAVE TO BE THE SAME THAT CAME OUT OF THE VEHICLE, AND WE ARE WASTING ALL OF OUR TIME AND MONEY TO DO SO, BECAUSE ANY TRANSMISSION WE BUY IS ALREADY MESSED UP.

MY SON WAS DRIVING HIS 2003 HONDA ACCORD 2DR EX V-6, WITH HIS 110 LB GIRLFRIEND. THE CAR WAS VERY HOT INSIDE, AS IT WAS A 90 DEGREE DAY. HE SLOWLY PULLED OUT OF HIS APARTMENT ENTRANCE. AS SOON AS HE TURNED ONTO A SMALL NEIGHOOD ROAD, THE SIDE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS BOTH ACTIVATED WITH ABSOLUTELY NO COLLISION OR CONTACT WITH ANYTHING. LUCKILY HIS GIRLFRIEND WAS NOT INSURED, SHE DOES STILL HAVE A RINGING OR WHITE NOISE SOUND IN HER RIGHT EAR. I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF THEY WERE ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. SHE DOES STILL HAVE A RINGING
