Consumer Description

I PURCHASED A 2003 HONDA ACCORD IN OCTOBER 2002 - I HAVE HAD THE BRAKES/ROTORS REPLACED TWICE. I'M CONCERNED OVER SAFETY. WHAT RECOURSE IS AVAILABLE ONCE THE CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND I AM GOING THROUGH BRAKES AND ROTORS APPROXIMATELY EVERY 8000 MILES? IN ADDITION, I NOTICED VERY SOON AFTER PURCHASE THAT AT INITIAL START UP, AND UNTIL CAR HAD BEEN DRIVEN FOR AWHILE THERE IS A "CHATTER" NOISE. I THOUGHT AT FIRST IT WAS MY IMAGINATION, AS THIS WAS SOMETHING HAD HEARD IN OLDER CARS - SUCH AS A LIFTER CHATTER. IT HAS BECOME INCREASINGLY NOTICEABLE AND AT SOME START UP TIMES SOUNDS LIKE A DIESEL. AT APPRX 23,000 I REQUESTED THE DEALER TO CHECK FOR THE NOISE, BUT BY THE TIME THE CAR GETS TO THE DEALER THERE IS NO LONGER THE COLD START, AND IT NO LONGER MAKES THE NOISE.
