1998 HONDA ACCORD Complaints

WENT TO HONDA DEALERSHIP IN SANTA MARIA CA AND THEY AGREED TO DO A OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. WHEN OIL CHANGE WAS DUE I TOOK AGAIN AND THEY SAID I HAVE TO TAKE IT SOONER. ON THE RECEIPT OF OIL CHANGE DEALERSHIP IN DEED DID WRITE A MESSAGE THAT SAID IT WASTED TO MUCH OIL. WILL CONTINUE TO TAKE TO DEALERSHIP FOR FURTHER TEST. I WAS JUST WONDERING IF MY CAR WAS THE ONLY CAR WITH THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM. ALSO MY STEERING WHEEL SLIGHTLY SHAKES AND MAKES A LIGHT NOISE, DOESN'T RUN AS SMOOTH AS IT USE TO. WILL CONTACT DEALERSHIP FOR THAT MATTER.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION LUNGES FROM GEAR TO GEAR WHEN SLOWING DOWN AND SPEEDING UP. IT APPEARS THE COMPUTER CONTROLING THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT SURE WHAT GEAR IT SHOULD BE IN.

ENGINE CONTINUALLY STALLS, REPLACEMENT OF THE PCM (NOT FAILED), DID NOT RECTIFY STALLING.

PLEASE NOTE ALL FOUR TIRES HAD TO BE CHANGED DUE TO MANUFACTURE DEFECT. THE TIRE COULD BLOW OUT AND CAUSE LIFE THREATING INJURIES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CALLED BUT DIDN'T CARE. ALL FOUR TIRES SLOWLY STARTED TO FORM BUBBLES ON THE SIDE WALL WHICH PROGRESSED OVER TIME.( DOT NUMBER: MT3AC66348 TIRE SIZE: 195/65R15 )

CONSUMER HAD TROUBLE WITH VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY WITH THE REAR COIL SPRINGS. SOMEBODY HAD TOLD HER THE SPRING WERE INSTALLED BACKWARDS, AND THAT'S WHY IT WAS CAUSING TROUBLE TO THE VEHICLE. DEALER HAD REPAIRED VEHICLE. *AK

AFTER APPROXIMATELY 2 WEEKS OF OWNING MY CAR I BEGAN TO HEAR A WHINNING SOUND WHEN I WOULD TAKE MY FOOT OF OF THE GAS. THIS NOISE GOT PROGRESSIVELY LOUDER. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF OTHER CONSUMERS HAVE REPORTED ANY PROBLEMS WITH THERE NEW CAR AND THE TRANMISSION AND IF SO WILL THERE BE A RECALL. HONDA WAS VERY GOOD ABOUT FIXING MY CAR AND I HAVE NO PROBLEMS WITH THE SERVICE BUT I AM CONCERNED ABOUT JUST PURCHASING A CAR AND HAVING SOMETHING MAJOR LIKE THIS OCCUR

HAVING TRANSMISSION REPLACED WITH ALUMINUM DUE TO OTHER TRANSMISSION MADE OF PLASTER. ALUMINUM TRANSMISSION PARTS NOT AVAILABLE UNTIL FEBRUARY. VEHICLE WOULD SHUTTER & SQUEAK. *AK

THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE 11 MONTHS WE HAVE HAD THE CAR. NOT KNOWN IF THE PROBLEM IS INHERENT WITH THE PART OR THE CAR.

WHENEVER SOMEONE TRIES TO GET INTO THE SEAT BELT THE BELT GETS STUCK, AND THEY CAN'T USE THE SEAT BELT. CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, AND THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM. BUT WHENEVER SOMEONE GETS INTO THE PASSENGER'S SEAT THE PROBLEM OCCURS. *AK

POWER BRAKES MASTER CYLINDER ON THE VEHICLE KEEPS GOING LOWER. INCIDENT HAS OCCURRED TWO TIMES IN 11 MONTHS. DEALER STATED A DEFECT, AND REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. *AK
