HI, DON'T KNOW WHERE ELSE TO REPORT THIS INFORMATION. I'VE CALLED BEFORE, LET IT RING FOR UP TO 20 MINUTES, WITH NO KIND OF PICK UP.I WAS GOING TO BUY THE MENTIONED VEHICLE FROM ROSS AUTO, AT 590 28TH ST SE, 49509 . I TOOK THE CAR TO RIVERTOWN HONDA IN GRANDVILLE, MI , KENOWA SW, 49509 FOR INSPECTION. ROSS'S CLAIMS CAR HAS 20,000 ACTUAL MILES. I BROUGHT IT BACK,QUITE LIVID WITH THE LIES. HE TOLD ME TO GIVE HIM CARFAX IN MY HAND, I SAID I WOULD FOR THE $35 FEE. HE FREAKED OUT,SAID THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH ME FOR BEING UPSET ABOUT THEIR LIES.I TOLD HIM TO GET THE CAR OFF THE LOT.THE FOLLOWING SUNDAY,DROVE TO ROSS', CAR STILL THERE. PRICE RAISED TO $7998.CALLED MY ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE >TOLD ME TO CALL THE MY SECRETARY OF STATE.REP GAVE ME PHONE NUMBER CLAIMED 2 B A FEDERAL AGENCY.WAS NOT.CALLED BACK MY SEC STATE,ON HOLD > THAN 1/2HR, TOLD "THIS IS FEDERAL OFFENCE" >CALL ANOTHER #. TOLD>..."NOTHING U CAN DO,CAR IS> THAN 10 YRS OLD".I CALLED FBI IN GRAND RAPIDS, MI. TOLD ME IT'S ISSUE 2 TAKE UP W. THE MY SEC. OF STATE. SEE NOW WHY ROSS' LAUGHING ALL THE WAY 2 BANK, AS HE'S UNACCOUNTABLE 2 MY NEIGHBOR,[XXX] ,DISTRICT COURT JUDGE >OFFICE ABOUT A MILE FROM ROSS', IN CITY OF WYOMING COURT BUILDING. TOLD ME HE HAS NO JURISDICTION, DOESN'T OFFER LEGAL ADVICE. DON'T KNOW IF CAR IS STILL ON LOT. I PRESUME SOMEONE BOUGHT IT & BEEN RIPPED OFF ROYALLY. AT CLOSING TIME, MULTIPLE HISPANIC MEN DRIVE MANY OF THE CARS OFF THE LOT FOR SOME REASON. I FIND THIS QUITE PECULIAR. THIS SITUATION IS AN OUTRAGE, & I'M DUMBFOUNDED THAT THERE IS NO ONE WHO WILL TAKE THE TIME TO STOP THESE LOW LIFES.SO WHAT IF CAR IS >MORE THAN TEN YEARS OLD? DOESN'T THE ODOMETER HAVE A SERIAL NUMBER ON IT THAT CAN PROVE IT'S MUCH LESS THAN TEN YEARS OLD? THIS IS A "TOTAL LOSS VEHICLE" BEING SOLD AS SOMETHING QUITE DIFFERENT. INEXCUSABLE OUTRAGEOUSNESS. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I FIRST NOTICED THAT WHEN THE CAR WAS IDLING, IT DIDN'T SOUND EXACTLY RIGHT. THEN ABOUT A WEEK LATER WE NOTICED THAT WHEN WE BEGAN TO STOP, THE CAR JUMPED. AFTER THAT WHEN YOU GO TO TAKE OFF FROM BEING STOPPED THE CAR WILL REV UP THE RPMS AND THEN THE MOTOR CATCHES UP AND JERKS INTO GEAR. WHEN WE CALLED AND TALKED TO A MECHANIC (HIGHLY KNOWN FOR TRANSMISSIONS) ABOUT IT, HE TOLD US THAT THEY HAVE BEEN HAVING A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THE 1998-2000 MODEL HONDAS, AFTER 100,000 MILES DOING THIS, THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING OUT ON IT, THAT WE NEED TO HAVE IT REPLACED. I WAS EXPECTING TO HAVE THIS CAR FOR A LONG, LONG TIME, AS HONDA IS KNOWN FOR BEING A VERY RELIABLE CAR. *TR

THE "BALANCE SHAFT SEAL POP OUT" IS KNOWN ISSUE (DEFECT) SINCE DAY1, HOWEVER, AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR COMPANY WAS TRYING TO COVER IT UP AND MY YEAR MODEL (2000) WAS INTENTIONALLY NOT INCLUDED IN THE ORIGINAL RECALL LIST IN ORDER FOR THEM TO REDUCE THE COST BY RISKING PEOPLE'S LIFE. HOWEVER, IF YOU GOOGLE IT, 2000 YEAR AND EVEN LATER MODEL ARE ALL OVER THE PLACES. HONDA MOTOR COMPANY WAS BETTING ON ITS DEALER WOULD BE SUPPOSED TO PUT A RETAINER ON TOP OF THE SEAL WHEN THE CAR IS DUE ON ITS FIRST TIMING BELT REPLACEMENT. HOWEVER, IT DID NOT HAPPEN, THE NET RESULT IS IT COSTS ME OVER $720 TO FIX IT AND I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH THE ENGINE WAS NOT BLOWN UP (AND I HAD NOT BEEN KILLED) ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE OF THE EMPTY ENGINE OIL RESULTED FROM THIS SUDDEN SEALED BEING POPPED OUT (THE OIL WOULD BE GONE SECONDS AFTER POP OUT HAPPENS). WORST YET, AFTER THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED, I CONTACTED WITH AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR TALKED WITH [XXX] WITH SOME JAPANESE LAST NAME WHO HAD VERY BAD ATTITUDE AND VERY UNPROFESSIONAL, SIMPLY FLATTENED OUT AND TOLD ME I AM SORRY AND WE CAN NOT HELP IN ANYWAY. I BELIEVE IT IS TIME TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND GRADUALLY DRIVE THIS VERY FOREIGN MOTOR COMPANY OUT OF US, THEY DO NOT CARE OUR LIVES HERE IN US ANYMORE.

DURING A NORMAL DRIVE AND THEN A STOP AT A RED LIGHT, CAR'S ENGINE STALLS. AFTER AUTO SHOP EXAMINATION, THE CONCLUSION WAS THAT THE BALL BEARING IN THE ENGINE'S TENSIONER LOCKED UP, THUS THROWING THE TIMING BELT OFF AND BENDING VALVES DUE TO INCORRECT TIMING. A WHOLE NEW ENGINE WAS REQUIRED TO FIX IT BECAUSE OF THE EXTENSIVE DAMAGE. OLD ENGINE HAS BEEN REMOVED AND REPLACED AND I DON'T THINK IT WOULD BE AVAILABLE. *TR

I HAVE A 2000 HONDA ACCORD SE. IN MARCH I HAD TO HAVE MY ENGINE REPLACED BECAUSE IT OVERHEATED. IT WAS NOT THE HEADS AND THE MECHANIC COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT CAUSED IT AFTER EXAMINING THE CAR FOR A MONTH. NOW MY TRANSMISSION IS GOING. THE ENGINE COST ME $2,000 AND THE TRANSMISSION IS ESTIMATED PARTS AND LABOR AT $3800. THEY NEED TO EXTEND THE TRANSMISSION WARRANTY FROM 7 YEARS 9 MONTHS TO 10 YEARS. MY CAR ONLY HAS 88,000 MILE AND HAS BEEN MAINTAINED WELL. *TR

VEHICLE IDLE REAL LOW AND SHUT OFF WHEN STOP. WHEN THAT HAPPEN I RESTART ENGINE, PUT IT IN DRIVE AND VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF AGAIN. IN ORDER TO MAKE IT STAY RUNNING, I HAVE TO GIVE IT SOME GAS WHILE I HAVE A FOOT ON THE BRAKE. *TR

CAR WAS IDLING AT A STOP LIGHT WHEN SUDDENLY THE ENGINE ALMOST STOPPED RUNNING. SEEMED LIKE IT HAD ONLY 1 OR 2 CYLINDERS WORKING. WAS ABLE TO GET TO A PARKING LOT, TURN OFF ENGINE, WOULDN'T RESTART. TOWED IN TO SHOP AND FOUND GASOLINE FILLING 3 CYLINDERS (6 CYL. ENGINE). BROKE A CONNECTING ROD, REPLACED ENGINE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE SHORT DISTANCES, THE ENGINE BECAME HOT AND THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WOULD START, SHAKE, AND THEN SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO A DEALER TWICE, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 02V12000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH). THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 90,621 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,000. UPDATED 03-11-08 *BF

I NOTICED WHEN I STOPPED MY CAR MADE AN ABNORMAL IDOL NOISE. I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER WHO PROCEEDED TO INFORM ME THAT THE SPARK PLUG IN MY CAR WAS STRIPPED AND THE THREADING COILS WERE NOW COMPLETELY STRIPPED AS WELL AND THE CYLINDER HEAD NEEDS REPLACED. THE SPARK PLUG IN THE CAR IS A GENUINE HONDA SPARK PLUG WHICH IF THIS IS NOT CAUSED BY NORMAL WEAR THEN IT MUST HAVE BEEN POOR WORKMANSHIP. HONDA IS ONLY WILLING TO PAY FOR HALF OF THE DAMAGE (TOTAL COST IS $2000.75) I AM STUCK BECAUSE I DO NOT FEEL I SHOULD PAY FOR DAMAGES THAT WERE INCURRED WHILE THE SPARK PLUGS WERE PLACED BY HONDA. *JB

DRIVING A 2000 HONDA ACCORD (4 CYLINDER) AT APPROXIMATELY 25 MILES PER HOUR. MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN. TOTAL LOSS OF POWER TO AUTOMOBILE. COMPLETE ENGINE SHUTDOWN. ENGINE RESTART AFTER SECOND ATTEMPT BUT COMPLETE FAILURE AGAIN. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND ALL DASH INSTRUMENTATION ILLUMINATED PRIOR TO SECOND ENGINE FAILURE. CAR TOWED TO HONDA DEALERSHIP. OWNER INFORMED THAT EGR VALVE FAILED. OWNER INFORMED THAT IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE EGR TO FAIL WHILE CAR WAS IN MOTION. THAT SIMPLY IS NOT TRUE AS THIS FAILURE INDEED HAPPENED TO THIS VEHICLE WHILE IN MOTION. TOTAL REPAIR COST NOT PROVIDED AT THIS TIME. NO PRIOR INDICATION OF EGR PROBLEMS PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT. *JB

THE ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON, THE CODE SAID BAD EGR VALVE, SO IT WAS CLEANED OUT, WHEN THAT DIDN'T WORK, THE EGR VALVE WAS REPLACED AND 8 MONTHS LATER THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN SAYING THAT THE EGR VALVE IS MALFUNCTIONING AGAIN. *NM

MY "MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP' ON MY 6 CYLINDER 2000 HONDA ACCORD CAME ON. THE DEALER LET ME KNOW THAT THEIR DIAGNOSTICS POINTED TO A PROBLEM WITH CYLINDER #4. HE HAD ME AUTHORIZE A $1000 "TEAR DOWN THE ENGINE" ESTIMATE IN CASE MY EXTENDED WARRANTY DIDN'T COVER THE REPAIR. AMERICAN HONDA CORP SENT THEIR ADJUSTER TO DETERMINE THAT IT WAS EXCESSIVE CARBON BUILD UP IN THE ENGINE WHICH IS NOT COVERED BY MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE DEALER HAD THE PARTS SENT TO A MACHINIST TO DETERMINE IF THERE IS A DAMAGED PART IN THE CYLINDER THAT WOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I HAVE BEEN GIVEN A $2300 APPROXIMATE REPAIR BILL TO PAY ON MY OWN IF NO DAMAGE IS FOUND. NOT THAT LONG AGO, I SPENT $300 AT THE DEALERSHIP CLEANING A CARBON BUILD UP PROBLEM THAT WAS CAUSING MY ACCELERATOR TO STICK. *NM

CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS ON - MAKING DRIVER THINKING THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH ENGINE. SINCE I HAVE A CHILD I TOOK MY CAR TO MANCHESTER HONDA, FOUND THAT MY GAS CAP WAS NOT ON TIGHT. MANCHESTER HONDA CHARGED ME $163 AND THIS IS THE BIGGEST SCAM HONDA EVER DOES THIS AND HOW MANY PEOPLE DID THEY DO THIS TOO...*NM

THE CASE # IS N012005121900955. THIS IS MY STORY: I WAS DRIVING NORTH ON I-5 IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. WHEN I SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 40 MILES AN HOUR MY CAR JUST DIED. I WAS ABLE TO BARELY ABLE START THE CAR AND SLOWLY DROVE OFF THE OFF THE ROAD LESS THAN 50 FEET. I BARELY MADE IT OFF THE ROAD. I HAD NO CLUE HAPPENED. UP TO THAT POINT CAR RAN GOOD. FORTUNATELY I WAS ON THE FAR RIGHT LANE. IT COULD HAVE BEEN DISASTROUS WITH ALL THE TRAFFIC. I WONDER IF ANY ACCIDENTS HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY HARMONIC BALANCER COMING LOOSE AND LOOSING ALL POWER? BOTH FAN BELTS WERE OFF. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION BY THE HI WAY RESCUE TEAM, HE NOTICED THAT THE HARMONIC BALANCER WAS NOT INLINE. I CALLED TACOMA HONDA THE FOLLOWING MORNING AND INQUIRED ABOUT THE HARMONIC BALANCER COMING LOOSE ON HONDA ENGINES AND THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID HE HASN'T HEARD ANY PROBLEMS. SO I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A MECHANIC FRIEND OF MINE, VIN, AND HE REPAIRED. VIN INFORMED ME THAT HE WORKED ON ONE WHO HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN ABOUT THE SAME DAY ON A 1999 HONDA WITH LESS MILES. ALSO HIS FRIEND HAD A HARMONIC BALANCE COME LOOSE ON A PRELUDE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT YEAR THIS CAR WAS MADE. THIS CANNOT BE JUST A TACOMA, WASHINGTON PROBLEM. I ASKED THE PARTS MANAGER ABOUT HARMONIC BALANCERS COMING LOOSE AND HE SAID HE HAS HEARD OF IT. A HARMONIC BALANCER SHOULD NEVER COME LOOSE FOR 2 REASONS. ONE, IT IS TIGHTEN SO TIGHT THAT YOU CAN NOT LOOSEN IT WITH A IMPACT WRENCH. TWO, IT TURN AGAINST THE DIRECTION OF THE THREAD. THIS IS WHAT CARLA TOLD ME THIS MORNING THAT SHE IS NOT AWARE OF ANY PROBLEMS SIMILAR TO WHAT I EXPERIENCED. I WILL WAIT FOR A WEEK FOR ANY FEEDBACK FROM YOU. IF YOUR RESEARCH FINDS NO PROBLEMS WITH HARMONIC BALANCER COMING LOOSE I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW. YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO FIND OUT HOW MANY HARMONIC BALANCERS HAS BEEN SOLD OR REPLACED. I WILL WRITE TO NHTSA TO SEE IF THIS IS A FLUKE THAT HAPPENED IN TACOMA OR MORE WIDESPREAD. *NM

DT: THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE CONSUMER HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC, AND THEY FOUND THE CODE P1457. THEN HE TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP, WHICH FOUND THE SAME CODE WHEN CHECKING FOR THE PROBLEM. THEY SAID THAT IT WAS BECAUSE THERE WAS AN INTERNAL PROBLEM WITH THE EVAPORATION SYSTEM. DISCOVERED A LEAK WITHIN THE SYSTEM BY DOING A SMOKE TEST. IT WAS IN A CANISTER IN THE EMISSION SYSTEM. THEY REPLACED THE CANISTER AND THE VALVE THAT WAS CONNECTED WITH IT, PARTS 17011S84A00 AND 17310S84L31. THE CONSUMER CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER, WHO TOLD THE CONSUMER THAT THEY HAD NO OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THE CONSUMER WAS CONCERNED BECAUSE HE HAD FOUND OTHER COMPLAINTS INVOLVING THE CODE P1457 ON A WEBSITE, WWW.ANSWER.COM. *AK

I HAVE A 2000 HONDA ACCORD LX V6 4DOOR SEDAN. AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES, THE ENGINE FAILED TO START AFTER IT WAS SHUT OFF FOR 5-10 MINUTES. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, THE CAR WAS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD. EACH TIME I TRY TO RESTART THE ENGINE, THE ENGINE WOULD TURNOVER AND RUN FOR ABOUT 2 SECONDS AND THEN STALLED. EACH TIME I WOULD HAVE TO DEPRESS THE GAS TO GET THE ENGINE GOING AND IF I RELEASE THE GAS, THE ENGINE WOULD DIE. THE ENGINE SOUNDS LIKE IT'S RUNNING OUT OF GAS AND JUST DIE. THE STRANGE PART IS IF I CAN GET THE CAR IN GEAR AND DRIVE WITH THE GAS APPLIED FOR ABOUT ONE BLOCK, THE ENGINE WOULD RETURN TO NORMAL. THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS SINCE I HAVE TO DEPRESS THE GAS AND BRAKE AT THE SAME TIME SO THE VEHICLE WOULD STAY IN CONTROL. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND THEY HOOKED UP SOME KIND OF COMPUTER TO THE CAR AND THEY SAID THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND ANY PROBLEM. THE ACCORD IS A NICE CAR BUT THIS CONSTANT ENGINE-STARTING PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *NM

2004 HONDA ACCORD DEVELOPED A COLD FAST IDLE OF 1500 RPM FOR 2-6 MINUTES..***NO ANSWER REQUIRED***.*MR *JB

WITH 46,270 MILES, TWO HEAD BOLTS BROKE RESULTING IN THE FAILURE OF THE HEAD GASKET. THE VEHICLE DID NOT OVERHEAT UNTIL AFTER THE GASKET FAILED. THE DEALER HAS "SUGGESTED' THAT THE BOLTS WERE OVER TORQUED AFTER MANUFACTURER, HOWEVER, I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW AND NO WORK HAS BEEN DONE ON IT THAT WOULD INVOLVE THE HEAD BOLTS. REPAIR INVOLVED A NEW GASKET KIT AND 12 NEW BOLTS. I HAVE THE OLD BOLTS.*AK

WHILE DRIVING, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD AND REMAINED ON. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE MECHANIC INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS. *JB

AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR A WHILE, THE VEHICLE HAS A PROBLEM WITH RESTARTING. VEHICLE WOULD HESITATE FOR A WHILE AND YOU NEED TO APPLY THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO THE FLOOR BEFORE STARTING. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO TWO SEPARATE DEALERS. THE FIRST DEALER REPLACED THE ERG VALVE. AND THE PROBLEM RECURRED AND THE SECOND DEALER REPLACED THE FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR KIT AND THE PROBLEM STILL RECURRING. *NM. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CONTINUES TO APPEAR ON DASHBOARD. INTERMITTENT STALLING. DEALER REMOVED AND REPLACED EGR VALVE/REMOVED INTAKE MANIFOLD AND CLEANED PORTS. *AK

EGR VALVE WENT BAD ON THE CAR. INTERNET SEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS HAPPENS TO MANY PEOPLE. ASKED DEALER TO FIX THE PROBLEM AS IT WAS A DEFECT. THEY SAID IT WASN'T. I HAD TO PAY SINCE IT WAS AFFECTING MY FUEL ECONOMY. IT WAS REPLACED BY A NEW, DIFFERENT TYPE OF VALVE. THAT MAKES ME THINK THE ORIGINAL PART WAS BAD.*AK
