problem #1

Feb 072004

Accord 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 3,000 miles
My 2003 Accord makes a clunking noise when accelerating from a cold start, accelerating from a stoplight, accelerating after turning a corner, and accelerating, and on the freeway when passing another vehicle. After several repair attempts, my local service department diagnosed this as being caused by the ABS system and that I should consider it a normal characteristic of the automobile until a fix is found by Honda. Most recently, the ABS, the tcs, and the brake light came on. Service department stated that it was a false code and that there was no problem with the ABS system.
