When I bought the Honda Accord 2000 LX 4 cyl summer sale of 1999 it was rated #1 car of the year-again!
Can't walk into dealership without an $800 bill. Moved from Arizona to Idaho when car was 4yrs old. When it was 30 degrees or less the car would not start. After multiple tows and repairs that did not fix the problem
($3,000) I asked a guy who had an old civic about it. It turned out to be a sensor under the dash on the drivers side. The part was $150. Dealer said they had no problem starting it, but charged me for parts anyway. NOW the car has been to 2 mechanics-breaks replaced, new drums, calipers, tierod, bearings, tires w'balance, struts, and axle on right side. There is a loud clicking noise coming from the frontend and a loud creaking, moaning noise in the rear end. The moaning noise in the rear gets much worse when there is weight in the trunk. The clicking noise from the frontend sounds like a baseball card that is clothes pined to the spokes of a bicycle tire. It clicks faster and louder when breaks applied. Sometimes it goes away for a day and then comes back. I am afraid to drive on the freeway for fear that something will fall off and land on the car behind me! I am not fond of breaking down either!!! I am faithful about changing the fluids and general up keep. I am going to keep driving it until somthing just blows up. I can't afford to take on a car payment. I 'm stuck with it.
