Consumer Description
CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. HAD THE DEALER CHECK FOR THE CODE WHICH CAME UP AS P1491, EGR VALVE ISSUE. THERE IS DOCUMENTED RECALL/NOTE FOR THIS MAJOR DESIGN DEFECT PART, BUT ONLY FOR 8YR/80K MILES. I CALLED AMERICAN HONDA AND ASKED FOR "GOOD FAITH"/IF THEY WOULD PAY FOR THE REPAIR. AM/HONDA REFUSED MY REQUEST. MY 99 ACCORD EX V6 HAS 130K MILES. THIS IS A KNOWN DOCUMENTED DESIGN FLAW. EMISSION PARTS SHOULD LAST THE LIFE OF THE CAR. HAD TO SHELL OUT $300 FOR THAT REPAIR. I HAVE OWNED 7 OTHER HONDA'S PLUS THIS CAR. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE HAD THIS TYPE OF ISSUE. AMERICAN HONDA NEEDS TO DO BETTER. I AM SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING CHANGING CAR BRANDS, POSSIBLY SWITCHING TO TOYOTA. *JB
