This is a follow-up to a previous complaint - 10020962 from last year. Low and behold, 4 months after my brake rotors were turned and repaired, the brakes started to warp again. The Honda dealership would not re-repair them - they indicated that the aftermarket brake pads on the front were causing the problem (the brake pads were fine). I took my car to another facility - one that fixes and maintains race cars - they indicated that auto makers are using lighter (and less durable) parts to enhance mpg ratings - which is more likely the cause of this problem with my Honda Accord, as well as with other types of vehicles. The good news was that while my car was in, I was able to get the recall on the ignition switch fixed, and at the same time, they indicated that my car needs a new catalytic converter - I believe this is the same issue many Honda owners are facing - "check engine" light comes on about 3-4 months into each new gas cap. I've had 4 for this vehicle (and have not lost any). I've never replaced a gas cap in my life before, just as I have never had brake rotor problems before. The only good thing I could say was that they did not charge me the diagnostic fee - given the problems I've had, I would hope not. I ended up having the O2 filter / sensor (whatever it is) replaced at another facility - which took care of a drop in mileage issue I was experiencing. The bad news for Honda is that I am probably going back to Toyota - I would love to have another Honda if the dealership would stand behind their vehicles or make me an offer I can't refuse (with a decent trade in on this vehicle)...I'm in the market for a 2004-2005 small to med SUV...I loved some aspects of my Accord, but need a new, larger vehicle to haul my daughter back and forth to college. Ps: since I know the rotors won't last, I'm not repairing them anymore. This is obviously a faulty design for this model.

Sticking accelerator pedal in a 1999 Honda Accord ex sedan 4 cyl automatic. The accelerator started sticking and would result in a sudden unsafe surge when accelerating from a stop. The dealer identified the problem as a carbon build-up in the throttel body which resulted in the throttle plate sticking.

1.) sometimes when I start the car the gas pedal sticks. 2.) while coming to a stop the car shuts off as if the battery died. The battery is fine. 3.) yesterday duiring the day the car would not start, acted as if it wasen't getting any fuel. The gas tank is full. After several attemps and waiting for 15-minutes the car started ok. I have serviced my car as required.
