The consumer is concerned about the design of the vehicle. The consumer almost had three accidents because of a blind spot created by the front window frame's design. The driver's side window frame completely blocks the driver's vision when going around a left curve.

Vehicle alignment problems. Vehicle has been at the original purchase dealer four different times, tires were rotated, and the vehicle was aligned. Vehicle was taken to a different dealer, and they stated that vehicle had serious problems with the frame. Manufacturer was contacted, and has told the consumer that he will need to meet with somebody from the manufacturer so the can recheck vehicle, but no solution has been found so far.

Falling acorns have left over 30 pock marks on the body of the vehicle. We also have a 2002 Honda CRV that was subjected to the same conditions with much less damage resulting, just a few small dings. The metal on the 2003 Accord feels significantly weaker to the touch than the body of the 2002 CRV. I previously had a 2000 Accord that was also subjected to these conditions with minor damage. This car looks like it was pelted with hail stones. It seems to me that a car should withstand the impact of an acorn! I wonder how it would do in a crash test.
