I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO A HONDA DEALER WHO SAYS THAT I AM NOT THE FIRST PERSON TO REPORT THIS PROBLM. I FIND THAT THIS IS COMPLETLY UNACCAPTABLE ESPECAILLY FOR THE KIND OF CAR I BOUGHT, A HONDA, WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO BE A TRUSTWORTHY, REALIABLE CAR AND OWNER'S SHOULD NOT BE FORCED WITH REAPLACING BARKE PADS EVERY 20K. I WOULD THINK WITH SO MANY UNAHAPPY OWNERS HONDA WOUD DO GOOD BY THEM AND MAKE THIS RIGHT. AT LEAST HAVE THE BRAKE PADS AVAILABLE TO PURCHASE INSTEAD OF PAYING 200$ BUCKS VS ONLY BEING ABLE TO HAVE HONDA REPALCE THEM! NOT TO MENTION THIS HAPPENS RIGHT BEFORE A 20K RECOMMENDED SERVICE WHICH COSTS $120.00 AND THAT BEING RIGHT AFTER I JUST SEPNT $180.00 ON THE 15K SERVICE.. ABSOULTLEY RIDICUOUS AND I WILL DEFINELTY THINK ABOUT PURCHASING ANY MORE HONDA'S DOWN THE ROAD, IF THIS IS THE WAY THEY ARE TREATING THEIR CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE BEEN LOYAL AND ONLY EXPECT THE BEST FROM THEM!!

I COMPLAINED THAT THE BRAKES SHOULD NOT BE GOING OUT THIS SOON AND WAS TOLD THAT IT IS MY DRIVING HABITS THAT CAUSED THE BRAKES TO GO OUT SO SOON.

TWO WEEKS AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED, THE CONTACT HEARD A SCREECHING SOUND WHEN SHE APPLIED THE BRAKES AT 15 MPH. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE NOISE WAS NORMAL DUE TO THE MATERIAL USED FOR THE BRAKES AND THAT THE SOUND WOULD EVENTUALLY GO AWAY. THE BRAKES AND PADS ON THE VEHICLE WERE COMPLETELY WORN OUT AT 8,000 MILES; HOWEVER, NO BRAKE FAILURE HAS OCCURRED. THE SCREECHING NOISES COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE NEVER CEASED. THE CONTACT CAN CURRENTLY HEAR THE NOISE EVEN WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS NOT BEING DEPRESSED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE REAR BRAKE LINING ON THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WAS DOWN TWO MILLIMETERS, WHICH MEANT THAT NEW REAR BRAKES WERE NEEDED. THE CONTACT ALSO BELIEVES THAT THE BRAKES WERE STUCK ON THE CALIPERS, CAUSING THE BRAKE PADS TO WEAR MORE QUICKLY THEN THEY SHOULD. THIS WOULD MEAN THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. THE CONTACT BELIEVES THAT THE VEHICLE SHOULD NOT BE EXPERIENCING BRAKE ISSUES AT SUCH A LOW MILEAGE. SHE SPOKE WITH THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE ANY FAILURE OR PROVIDE ASSISTANCE WITH THE REPAIRS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

I FEEL THAT EITHER HONDA NEEDS TO FIND A FIX FOR THE PROBLEM BY DOING A RE-CALL ON ALL CARS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM OR THEY NEED TO COVER THE FIX UNDER WARRANTY.

THEIR FINAL STATEMENT IS THAT THE PASSENGER "SLAMMED" THE DOOR TO HARD AND IT CAUSED THE AIR-BAGS TO DEPLOY. IT IS PRETTY SCARY TO THINK THAT THIS CAN HAPPEN IF YOU SHOULD CLOSE YOUR DOOR TO HARD.

THE CAR IS NOW AT THE SHOP, I'M WAITING FOR THE DEALERS CALL TO SEE WHAT THEY FOUND.. HONDA'S WEBSITE (HTTP://CORPORATE.HONDA.COM/PRESS/ARTICLE.ASPX?ID=4110 ) READS: "ANOTHER KEY VSA FUNCTION IS RECOGNIZING EMERGENCY BRAKING SITUATIONS AND ALMOST INSTANTLY APPLYING ADDED BRAKING FORCE.

VEHICLE IS 2008 HONDA ACCORD EX V6 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. THIS IS A SERIOUS DEFECT AND FITS THE CRITERIA FOR A SAFETY RECALL ON BOTH CONCERNS, I.E., "POSES AN RISK TO MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY, AND "MAY EXIST IN A GROUP OF VEHICLES OF THE SAME DESIGN OR MANUFACTURE, OR ITEMS OF EQUIPMENT OF THE SAME TYPE AND MANUFACTURE". HONDA KNEW OF THIS PROBLEM IN 2007 CIVIC MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS AND IGNORED THE PROBLEM AND CONTINUED TO PUT THE DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSIONS IN THE 2008 ACCORDS AND CIVICS. FINALLY AFTER A CONSUMER DEMONSTRATION IN CALIFORNIA AND COVERAGE BY THE LOCAL MEDIA, HONDA ISSUED A HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN 08-020 THAT REPLACES THE DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION PARTS. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A MANUFACTURER RECALL BASED ON THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS LISTED HERE WHERE THE CONSUMER WRITES THAT THEY BELIEVE IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AND THAT THEY WERE ALMOST INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. TOO MANY NEAR MISSES TO IGNORE. ALSO, BECAUSE IT FITS THE CRITERIA LISTED ON THIS WEBSITE FOR A LIKE DEFECT IN A "GROUP OF VEHICLES". I HOPE IT DOESN'T TAKE A DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY TO REQUIRE HONDA TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR THE DEFECTIVE MODELS. WE ALL KNOW MONEY IS THE DETERMINING FACTOR AND BASIS FOR THEIR DECISION AND IF LEFT TO THEM, THEY WOULD NEVER ISSUE ONE. I AM THINKING TO BURN MY NEW HONDA ACCORD WHICH HAS LESS THAT 7000 MILES ON IT AND IS CURRENTLY AT FIRST TEAM HONDA IN CHESAPEAKE, VIRGINIA WITH A BAD TRANSMISSION. I AM SO DISGUSTED WITH PAYING OVER 32 THOUSAND DOLLARS AND GETTING A LEMON AND VEHICLE THAT WILL NEED TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REMOVED ALREADY. HONDA DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THE CONSUMER ANYMORE, ONLY THE $$$. HELP FOR A RECALL PLEASE ! I THINK I WILL CONSTRUCT A WEBSITE TO PUBLICIZE THIS TRAVESTY AND GAIN SUPPORT FOR THE BURNING OF MY HONDA.

CARS BEHIND YOU THINK YOU ARE TAPPING THE BRAKES. 5.) SOME ONE PASSING YOU MAY THINK THAT YOU HAVE FLASHED THEM TO COME BACK INTO THE LANE PREMATURELY. I COULD GO ON AND ON. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NOT NORMAL. PLEASE HELP. THERE HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL LEMON LAW SUITS FILED AGAINST HONDA DUE TO THIS ISSUE. YOU ARE OUR GOVERNMENT, YOUR ONLY PURPOSE IS TO SERVE THE PEOPLE.

DIFFICULT TO SEE100 FEET AHEAD. THIS IS EXACERBATED BY A DRAW ON THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM THAT MAKES THE HEADLIGHTS DIM WHILE CAR IS IN MOTION. I WILL NOT DRIVE THE CAR AT NIGHT OR AT NIGHT WHILE IT IS RAINING. I FEEL THAT THE CAR IS DANGEROUS AND ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS I ALMOST HIT PEDESTRIANS WALKING OR ON A BICYCLE. THIS OCCURS ON A DAILY BASIS AND IS CONSTANT. THE HONDA DEALER INSPECTED THE ISSUE ONCE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO DEFECT, BUT THAT THE CAR OPERATES TO NORMAL SPECIFICATION AND ID COMPARABLE TO ALL 2008 HONDA ACCORD 4 CYLINDER MODELS. THIS ISSUE WAS PREVALENT SINCE I TOOK DELIVERY OF THE NEW CAR IN JULY, 2008. 2.) SINCE TAKING DELIVERY OF THIS VEHICLE AND TO THE PRESENT DATE, THERE IS A WOBBLE/WHEEL SHIMMY IN THE SUSPENSION AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND DIFFERENT DEGREES OF SEVERITY ON A DAILY BASIS. ON THE FIRST REPAIR ATTEMPT THE DEALER REPLACED SEVERAL TIRES AND PERFORMED A HIGH TECH WHEEL BALANCE USING A HUNTER 9700 ROAD FORCE BALANCING MACHINE. THE PROBLEM WAS NOT CORRECTED. ON THE SECOND VISIT THE DEALER TEST DROVE THE CAR AND STATED THAT THE ISSUE IS A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE AND OTHER HONDA ACCORD 4 CYLINDER MODELS WITH THE SAME ENGINE, TRANSMISSION AND SUSPENSION. CONCLUSION: THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS, EXHIBITS VERY POOR STEERING AND RIDE AS IT WANDERS AND SHIMMIES ALL OVER THE ROAD.

THE SEAT HAS WHAT IS CALLED AN "ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINT" WHERE THE HEADREST IS MECHANICALLY LINKED TO A PLATE IN THE SEAT BACK. THE PLATE IN THE SEAT BACK PRODUCES AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF LUMBAR SUPPORT, EVEN WITH THE POWER LUMBAR CONTROL COMPLETELY DISENGAGED. IN ANY SEATING POSITION, THE MAJORITY OF THE PRESSURE IS CONCENTRATED ON MY LOWER BACK. THE OTHER PROBLEM WITH THE SEAT IS THE AGGRESSIVE FORWARD ANGLE OF THE HEADREST. THE HEADREST ANGLE IS NOT ADJUSTABLE, AND IT FORCES MY HEAD TO BE POSITIONED FURTHER FORWARD THAN IS COMFORTABLE, PLACING STRAIN ON MY NECK. THIS IS AN 8-WAY POWER SEAT, AND I HAVE HAD IT IN EVERY POSSIBLE POSITION, BUT THE COMBINATION OF THE LUMBAR PLATE AND HEADREST ANGLE PRODUCES DISCOMFORT AND PAIN IN MY BACK, NECK, AND SHOULDERS. I AM FEARFUL THAT THE SEAT MAY CAUSE PERMANENT INJURY TO MY BACK AND NECK AS I AM EXPERIENCING THE BACK AND NECK PAIN NOW EVEN WHEN I AM NOT SITTING IN THE CAR. THE PAIN IS AFFECTING MY SLEEP AND POSTURE THROUGHOUT THE DAY. I HAVE NEVER HAD BACK PROBLEMS IN MY LIFE BEFORE THIS. I HAD THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR LOOK AT THE SEAT AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS FINE AND FELT NORMAL. I HAVE TRIED PLACING VARIOUS PADS ON THE SEAT BACK BUT THAT OFFERS NO RELIEF. *TR

I CALL THE HONDA DEALER, WE SET UP AN APPOINTMENT TO CARRY THE CAR IN TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. THEY FIND THAT THE CONDENSER HAS A SMALL HOLE APPARENTLY CAUSED BY A ROCK WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THIS IS CONSIDERED A ROAD HAZARD AND THEREFORE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. WHAT IS THIS CONDENSER MADE OF????? WHY-HOW- COULD THIS HAPPEN? HOW COULD A ROCK PUT A VERY SMALL HOLE IN THIS CONDENSER? I THINK HONDA HAS A PROBLEM WITH THIS CONDENSER. SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT HERE!!! I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS BEING A ROAD HAZARD. HOW MANY MORE TIMES IS A ROCK GOING TO PUT A HOLE IN THIS "THIN" MADE CONDENSER??? HOW MANY MORE TIMES CAN I AFFORD THIS TO HAPPEN??? THEY CHARGE ME $98 FOR A DIAGNOSTIC FEE BECAUSE THIS PROBLEM IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, OTHERWISE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN FREE. THEY WANTED TO CHARGE SOMEWHERE ABOUT $750 TO REPLACE THE CONDENSER IF WE FILE UNDER OUR INSURANCE AND AFTER THE MECHANIC TALKED TO SOMEONE ELSE HIGHER UP, THEY DECIDE IF WE DO NOT FILE INSURANCE, THEY WILL GIVE ME A BREAK AND CHARGE ME $279. DO I FILE UNDER MY INSURANCE AND RISK THE CHANCE OF MY INSURANCE GOING UP MORE OR DO I PAY THE $279? AFTER DELIBERATION, I CHOSE TO PAY THE $279. (I ALREADY HAVE 2 TEENAGERS ON MY INSURANCE!!) THEY HAVE TO ORDER THE PART AND IT WON'T BE IN TIL NEXT WEEK AND THEN I WILL HAVE TO MAKE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT TO SPEND THE DAY AT THE SHOP WHILE MY VEHICLE IS REPAIRED.
