Consumer Description
ABOUT 5 WEEKS AGO, THE ENGINE OF MY 1999 HONDA ACCORD EX (4-CYLINDER AUTOMATIC) BEGAN DYING WHILE I AM DRIVING. THREE TIMES I HAVE BEEN PULLING INTO HEAVY TRAFFIC WHEN THE ENGINE DIED, AND I AM LUCKY NOT TO HAVE BEEN INJURED OR KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE, AUDIBLE OR TACTICAL SIGNS THAT THE ENGINE IS ABOUT TO SHUT DOWN, AND NO INDICATOR LIGHTS. THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER CHARGED ME $100 TO EVALUATE THE SITUATION TO NO AVAIL. USE OF FUEL CLEANER WAS THEIR RECOMMENDATION, BUT THAT DID NOTHING TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. FRUSTRATED, I CONSULTED THE INTERNET AND FOUND 43 SEPARATE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON CARCOMPLAINTS.COM. COMPLAINANTS ALL SAY THAT THEY HAVE SPENT HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS ON GOING FROM DEALER TO DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND A VARIETY OF REPAIRS, NONE OF WHICH SEEM TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. I DOUBT SERIOUSLY THAT AMERICAN HONDA IS AS IGNORANT OF THIS PROBLEM AS THEY CLAIM TO BE, BUT THEY OFFER NO HELP. PLEASE LOG ONTO CARCOMPLAINTS.COM TO SEE HOW WIDESPREAD AND DANGEROUS THIS PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE. I'M SURE THIS IS JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG. *TR
