Consumer Description

MY 2003 HONDA ACCORD HAS HAD A SHUDDER WHEN BRAKING PRACTICALLY SINCE I'VE OWNED THE CAR-BOUGHT NEW IN FEB. 2002.. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THE BRAKES WOULD STILL WORK AND I COULD DRIVE THE CAR AS LONG AS I WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. I THOUGHT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP IN OMAHA HAD DAMAGED THE BRAKES WHILE FIXING THE ABS SYSTEM DUE TO A RECALL. I NOW SEE IT WAS PROBABLY A DESIGN FLAW--SINCE SO MANY OTHER OWNERS OF THIS MODEL HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING. NOW THE BRAKES NEED REPLACEMENT, AND I WILL ASK FOR NON-HONDA PARTS. I PREVIOUSLY OWNED A 1999 HONDA ACCORD, AND IT WAS WONDERFUL. THIS 2003 IS NOT--IN ADDITION TO THE BRAKE PROBLEM, THE PAINT SCRATCHES EASILY AND THE INTERIOR IS OF VERY CHEAP MATERIALS, THE AC SMELLS BAD WHEN TURNED ON, AND THE CAR HAS HAD ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS--MANY OCCURRING AFTER IT WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER HONDA VEHICLE. *TR
