#10182110 | February 9, 2007

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

#10038829 | September 13, 2003

I WAS DRIVING MY 1999 HONDA ACCORD WHEN MY CD STARTED SKIPPING AND THEN MY ABS DASH LIGHT CAME ON. I CONTINUED ON THE HIGHWAY (A MAJOR INTERSTATE WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC) UNTIL MY EXIT. WHEN I SLOWED DOWN AT AN APPROACHING INTERSECTION, MY CAR JUST DIED. ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING QUIT...RADIO, AC,ETC...CAR FLASHERS WOULD NOT WORK, I WAS STRANDED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WITHOUT ANY WAY TO LET APPROACHING TRAFFIC KNOW I HAD CAR TROUBLE. PUT MY HOOD AND TRUNK UP AND ESCAPED MY CAR. IT WAS TERRIBLE...BUT WOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE IF I HAD STILL BEEN ON I-285 WHICH IS A HEAVILY TRAFFICKED ARTERY AROUND ATLANTA WITH MULTIPLE LANES AND FAST TRAFFIC. I GOT ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING THAT THIS WOULD HAPPEN...NO DASH LIGHTS (I.E. BATTERY INDICATOR LIGHT) CAME ON TO LET ME KNOW THAT MY ALTERNATOR HAD DIED. THAT IS WHY THE CAR QUIT AS I SLOWED AT THE INTERSECTION...THE BATTERY...

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN THE CRANKSHAFT PULLY FELL OUT OF THE BOTTOM OF THE ENGINE, RESULTING IN POWER STEEERING FAILURE AND ENGINE DIED. THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT, THE ALTENATOR QUIT, THE WATER PUMP QUIT. LUCKILY I COULD COAST INTO A PARKING LOT ENTRANCE TO GET OFF OF THE HIGHWAY.THE CRANKSHAFT BOLT "CRYSTALIZED" AND BROKE OFF INSIDE THE CRANKSHAFT. THE TIMING BELT, CRANKSHAFT PULLY AND BOLT, AND THE WATER PUMP HAD TO BE REPLACED. *AK
