THE "BALANCE SHAFT SEAL POP OUT" IS KNOWN ISSUE (DEFECT) SINCE DAY1, HOWEVER, AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR COMPANY WAS TRYING TO COVER IT UP AND MY YEAR MODEL (2000) WAS INTENTIONALLY NOT INCLUDED IN THE ORIGINAL RECALL LIST IN ORDER FOR THEM TO REDUCE THE COST BY RISKING PEOPLE'S LIFE. HOWEVER, IF YOU GOOGLE IT, 2000 YEAR AND EVEN LATER MODEL ARE ALL OVER THE PLACES. HONDA MOTOR COMPANY WAS BETTING ON ITS DEALER WOULD BE SUPPOSED TO PUT A RETAINER ON TOP OF THE SEAL WHEN THE CAR IS DUE ON ITS FIRST TIMING BELT REPLACEMENT. HOWEVER, IT DID NOT HAPPEN, THE NET RESULT IS IT COSTS ME OVER $720 TO FIX IT AND I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH THE ENGINE WAS NOT BLOWN UP (AND I HAD NOT BEEN KILLED) ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE OF THE EMPTY ENGINE OIL RESULTED FROM THIS SUDDEN SEALED BEING POPPED OUT (THE OIL WOULD...

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD EX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART AFTER IT WAS TURNED OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A DEALER WHO ADVISED HIM THAT THE PCM AND THE FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR NEEDED TO BE UPDATED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED FOR THE FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 130,000.

IN MARCH OF 2008, MY 2000 ACCORD SE HONDA'S TRANSMISSION FAILED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED AT 122,206 MILES; I HAD TO PAY FOR A REBUILT REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION, TODAY I WAS INFORMED THAT I WILL NEED YET ANOTHER TRANSMISSION BY HONDA, THAT MY CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL THE REPAIR IS COMPLETED, AND THAT THE THREE-YEAR OR 36,000-MILE WARRANTY WILL ONLY EXTEND AS FAR AS THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY (THAT IS ROUGHLY ANOTHER 15,000 MILES OR UNTIL MARCH 2012). THE CURRENT TRANSMISSION ONLY FUNCTIONED FOR LESS THAN 21000 MILES. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL FOR THIS MODEL'S POTENTIALLY CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF A TRANSMISSION. EVEN THOUGH I WAS NOT IN AN ACCIDENT, I EASILY COULD HAVE BEEN AS I HAVE TO COMMUTE 44 MILES A DAY TO WORK. CLEARLY, IF THE SECOND IDENTICAL FAILURE HAPPENED IN SO SHORT A TIME, THERE IS A SERIOUS FLAW---ONE...

VEHICLE IDLE REAL LOW AND SHUT OFF WHEN STOP. WHEN THAT HAPPEN I RESTART ENGINE, PUT IT IN DRIVE AND VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF AGAIN. IN ORDER TO MAKE IT STAY RUNNING, I HAVE TO GIVE IT SOME GAS WHILE I HAVE A FOOT ON THE BRAKE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE AIR BAG AND SERVICE ENGINE INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC, BUT FOUND NO DEFECTS. IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE COOLING FAN WOULD REMAIN ACTIVATED FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF. SHE ALSO STATED THAT SHE COULD ONLY PLACE HALF A TANK OF GASOLINE IN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL WHEN IT HAD A FULL TANK OF FUEL. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE DEALER A SECOND TIME FOR A DIAGNOSTIC AND NO DEFECTS WERE FOUND. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES HAVE NOT BEEN DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT BEEN NOTIFIED AND THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 199,259 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 180,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE SRS WARNING LIGHT WOULD CONSISTENTLY ILLUMINATE ON THE INSTRUMENT CONTROL PANEL, WHICH INDICATED THAT THE AIR BAGS WERE INOPERATIVE. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER ON TWO OCCASIONS AND THEY PERFORMED ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, WHICH TEMPORARILY CORRECTED THE ISSUE. WEEKS LATER, THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. SHE TOOK HER VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT SHE NEEDED TO REPLACE BOTH COMPONENTS AT THE DISCOUNTED COST OF $2,600. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CONTACT SENT A LETTER TO THE MANUFACTURER, BUT NEVER RECEIVED A RESPONSE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 122,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE SHORT DISTANCES, THE ENGINE BECAME HOT AND THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WOULD START, SHAKE, AND THEN SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO A DEALER TWICE, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE.

I NOTICED WHEN I STOPPED MY CAR MADE AN ABNORMAL IDOL NOISE. I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER WHO PROCEEDED TO INFORM ME THAT THE SPARK PLUG IN MY CAR WAS STRIPPED AND THE THREADING COILS WERE NOW COMPLETELY STRIPPED AS WELL AND THE CYLINDER HEAD NEEDS REPLACED. THE SPARK PLUG IN THE CAR IS A GENUINE HONDA SPARK PLUG WHICH IF THIS IS NOT CAUSED BY NORMAL WEAR THEN IT MUST HAVE BEEN POOR WORKMANSHIP. HONDA IS ONLY WILLING TO PAY FOR HALF OF THE DAMAGE (TOTAL COST IS $2000.75) I AM STUCK BECAUSE I DO NOT FEEL I SHOULD PAY FOR DAMAGES THAT WERE INCURRED WHILE THE SPARK PLUGS WERE PLACED BY HONDA. *JB

THE CASE # IS N012005121900955. THIS IS MY STORY: I WAS DRIVING NORTH ON I-5 IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. WHEN I SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 40 MILES AN HOUR MY CAR JUST DIED. I WAS ABLE TO BARELY ABLE START THE CAR AND SLOWLY DROVE OFF THE OFF THE ROAD LESS THAN 50 FEET. I BARELY MADE IT OFF THE ROAD. I HAD NO CLUE HAPPENED. UP TO THAT POINT CAR RAN GOOD. FORTUNATELY I WAS ON THE FAR RIGHT LANE. IT COULD HAVE BEEN DISASTROUS WITH ALL THE TRAFFIC. I WONDER IF ANY ACCIDENTS HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY HARMONIC BALANCER COMING LOOSE AND LOOSING ALL POWER? BOTH FAN BELTS WERE OFF. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION BY THE HI WAY RESCUE TEAM, HE NOTICED THAT THE HARMONIC BALANCER WAS NOT INLINE. I CALLED TACOMA HONDA THE FOLLOWING MORNING AND INQUIRED ABOUT THE HARMONIC BALANCER COMING LOOSE ON HONDA ENGINES AND THE SERVICE...

WITH 46,270 MILES, TWO HEAD BOLTS BROKE RESULTING IN THE FAILURE OF THE HEAD GASKET. THE VEHICLE DID NOT OVERHEAT UNTIL AFTER THE GASKET FAILED. THE DEALER HAS "SUGGESTED' THAT THE BOLTS WERE OVER TORQUED AFTER MANUFACTURER, HOWEVER, I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW AND NO WORK HAS BEEN DONE ON IT THAT WOULD INVOLVE THE HEAD BOLTS. REPAIR INVOLVED A NEW GASKET KIT AND 12 NEW BOLTS. I HAVE THE OLD BOLTS.*AK

AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR A WHILE, THE VEHICLE HAS A PROBLEM WITH RESTARTING. VEHICLE WOULD HESITATE FOR A WHILE AND YOU NEED TO APPLY THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO THE FLOOR BEFORE STARTING.
