Accord 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 95,874 miles
In April 2001, I purchased new Honda Accord ex from its dealer, planethonda in union, NJ. The car had been sore for the last three years. The car was recalled because of faulty transmission. The faulty transmission affected the engine and brakes. Not only, Honda should have replaced the faulty transmission, but also the engine should have been replaced. The faulty transmission made the car run in the low gear, damaged the engine. My car engine is burning more motor oil and I have to add one quart of oil for every 700-800 miles. I also had to replace the brakes, rotor/drum, brake shoe pads every 6-8 months because of faulty transmission. My car has the side air bag and ABS lights on since 30000 miles. I was advised by NHTSA to send the complaint to NHTSA. Please forward the copy of the complaint to the appropriate department, so that they can look into the matter. Thanks....... ashok kumar

Accord

I had a problem after 200 miles (after fixed). I was driving on Nov. 28, 2002 (thanksgiving day) on I-77 / I-64 (West Virginia) it is a mountain area. I was driving about 65mph. It was down grade road and all of sudden my car was making big jerks in engine (like stalling or something like that) and engine shut off on middle of interstate at that place no shoulder line. Me and my family were in car and we were so lucky, that time no one behind me car / truck, otherwise someone car / truck can hit my car from back and you can think about what could happen at that time.
