problem #2

Feb 162009

Accord

  • 39,500 miles
Roughly a month ago from today ie December 2008; the horn on my car sounded different but then was fine, time had passed and it got worse and crackled. I took the car into the local dealer for repair this morning and had asked if this could be considered under warranty eventhough I am 3,000 miles over the std warranty with the 5% extension from Honda, the car is 3 days shy of 3 years old, they said no. The problem was the right horn broke, the left worked fine. It was about $120 for diag, parts, and labor which I had to do but am asking Honda to consider this to be covered since a 3 year old car should not have something basic break so soon, clearly it was a defective part. This is a safety concern especially with a 4 month baby I Transport daily in this car.

Accord 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 22,000 miles
The contact owns a 2006 Honda Accord ex. While driving, the alarm and the horn automatically activated for an extended period of time. As a result, other drivers send rude signals to her and she feels that this is very dangerous. The contact notified the Honda dealer in her area and a diagnostic test was performed. The dealer was unable to find the cause of failure. She also notified Honda's regional office who stated that her vehicle is out of warranty and nothing can be done. Honda advised her to go to the passenger side of the vehicle and use the key in order to stop the failure. The engine size was unknown. The current mileage is 25,564 and failure mileage was 22,000.
