The middle of my steering wheel or where my airbag would deploy is sticky and the vinyl has lost its integrity. My center console under the dashboard has melted to the point I have had to cover it with felt because everything sticks to it. It's like tar. Approximately a year ago, I called Honda and spoke to a representative who told me she never heard of such a problem, and that unfortunately I was not covered under warranty anymore. She would make note of it. I was to take it to a dealer to see what they had to say about it. Maybe they would have a cleaner to solve the problem. Knowing there would be no cleaner in the world to get rid of the goo, I did not make an appointment. I did, however, just recently see a segment on our local news featuring 'melting dashboards" which described my problem. My car is garage kept. I lived in New Jersey and moved to Florida in 2006.

I purchased this vehicle, a 2002 Honda Accord ex V-6, in 2008 with 45,000 miles. I began to notice hesitation when changing gears, and a hard jerk that would occur while first gear changes to second gear. I took it to the local Honda dealership, and they could not find anything wrong with the vehicle. Six years later at 130,000 miles, my vehicle still does the same thing while driving. I have talked with other Honda owners, same model, and they all have had the same problem. I don't understand why this issue has not been recognized yet. It is not only unsafe, but unfair to not provide owners with some type of resolution. Don't even get me started on the clearcoat that has also worn off.

Problem with structure - vehicle making a knocking/crunching noise. Took it to Honda dealership and was advised that the subframe on the front passenger side, below where the ac unit drains, is rusted through. The car was deemed unsafe and inoperable. To the extent that this was the result of a design defect - I.e., where the ac unit/draining is placed - the manufacturer should be made aware of it and perhaps recall vehicles to protect consumers from injury.

The subframe that supports the engine/transaxle and the front suspension is rusting through on the right side. This can result in a catastrophic failure during operation of the vehicle, and appears to be a very common defect in this generation of Accord. Most mechanics attribute the cause of the defect to the location of the airconditioner drain tube that drips condensation onto the subframe while it is running.

The clear coat on my Honda Accord is peeling off the car. The car has been well maintained. The paint is now greatly affecting my resale value and seems to be a common problem with Honda paint.

The dashboard reflected in the windshield, when driving in direct sunlight.

When the consumer drove toward direct sunlight, the dash board reflected the sun light toward the windshield, which impaired consumer's visibility.
