NHTSA Complaint #10159541 — 2001 HONDA ACCORD

INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS GO OUT AND AT NIGHT I CAN'T SEE SOME OF THE GAUGES LIKE THE SPEEDOMETER OR GAS GAUGE. BUT OTHER LIGHTS LIKE, CHECK ENGINE, MAINTENANCE REQUIRED, TCS LIGHTS WORK OK. I HAVE READ WHAT NHTSA CONSIDERS A SAFETY HAZARD AND LIGHTING IS ONE OF THEM. THERE HAS ALREADY BEEN A SAFETY RECALL ON OTHER 2001 HONDA V6 MODELS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AS I AM EXPERIENCING. YET, THERE IS NO INVESTIGATION BEING DONE ON MY PROBLEM. NHTSA REPRESENTATIVES WON'T EVEN TALK TO ME, I GET A PERSON ON THE PHONE AND THE ONLY THING THEY KEEP REPEATING IS " THERE IS NO INVESTIGATION BEING DONE ON YOUR VEHICLE AT THIS TIME" I FEEL LIKE IM TALKING TO A MACHINE. I WOULD LIKE SOME FEED BACK FROM A PERSON AT NHTSA AS TO WHY THIS PROBLEM IS NOT BEING ADDRESSED. WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THE HONDAS? I'VE ALREADY GOTTEN TWO OTHER RECALL NOTICES OF OTHER PROBLEMS. I AM VERY DISCOURAGED WITH WHAT'S GOING ON. I PAID A LOT OF MONEY FOR MY CAR BECAUSE I TRUSTED THE HONDA NAME, ALSO TO MAINTAIN IT IN TOP CONDITION. I JUST DON'T FEEL THAT I SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS DEFECT. *JB
