Honda Accord Change Vehicle

“I am not familiar with the Honda disk braking system(s) and am not sure what constitutes normal wear on a caliper. However, I got more mileage on the Honda Accord brakes before re-lining than all the previously owned Detroit made automobiles made by”

“this is actually 1998 Honda accord with 86000 original miles. The brake master cylinder was replaced due to a leak which aint bad after 16 years”

“braking system seized and needed totally replacement”

“Pads and rotors replaced, but within expected window”

“I was due for normal brake replacement because of the mileage on the car”

“The brake line was corroded and leaking break fluid. As a result the break light was on steady. Also the rear breaks needed to be replaced. The gas line was corroded also and crumbled while trying to replace”

“I had to replace the calipers on rear brakes due to routine break wear according to the dealer”

“I am happy with the wear and tear on the brakes. Better than a lot of cars in the same age range”

“I love this car.This is my 4th Honda (3 Accords and 1 Civic).They run forwever.My favorite was my 1986 Accord that I sold at 220,000 miles to my Dad's secretary's son, who drove it another 20Kmiles before a trash truck backed into it”

“Parking brake light sticks on”

“parking brake would not engage. Rear calipers were frozen-did not operate properly; hence parking brake was inoperative. new rotors, calipers and disc brake pads were required to fix the problem”

“Warp”

“Twice in the past year or so, I've had to have the rotors ground down because they warped and made the car shudder when coming to a stop, off the freeway or high speeds especially”

“had to replace front brake rotors due to wear. these had been resurfaced some years previous”

“The brakes have squeaked since the car was less than year old. The brake pads have been replaced numerous times, and the brakes have been examined numerous times, with the issue remaining unresolved”

“One evening when changing gears, the clutch pedal stayed depressed to the floor. I had to reach down and manually pull it up. Next day when driving to have the car serviced, clutch worked fine. The service department determined there was a leak”

“Rebuilt transmission because of slipping”

“the transmission wore out and had to be replaced. No surprise, the car had over 280000 miles and this was the original transmission”

“car only has 86k miles and the transmission has to be replaced for $2,000. My mechanic states the 2000 thru 2003 honda's had transmission problems. Very upset as this is the first major problem we have had with auto”

“I'm told by mechanics that 2000-04 Accord transmissions are known to fail at 120k miles. Mine did and had to be rebuilt”

“Transmission failed over 3 day period at 190,000 miles. Elected to replace with new equipment. Otherwise, car runs good”

“the transmission started leaking fluid and slipping. It had to be replaced $5,500”

“Installed new transmission. Intermittently, it is shifting hard. Dealer cannot locate problem”

“Replacement went without difficulty”

“I had to replace transmission for $1800”

“Service engine light came on...pressure was being lost affecting shifting gears”

“Due to the slippage of the transmission, I had it replaced with a rebuilt transmission”

“My car is actually a 1996 Honda. I just keep replacing parts. I first did the transmission and then the clutch”

“honda extended the warranty on the transmission to 100k miles, but failed to notify owners. the transmission began failing at 80 and I replaced at 107 (because i had to save the money up) ...and honda would not contribute a cent to the cost”

“broke”

“Had to replace one engine moumt that was broken. it was the front engine mount”

“WHEN STARTING, THE rpm GOES UP TO "THREE", AND GOES BACK TO BELOW "TWO". MECHANIC, AND FRIEND WHO KNOWS CARS, SAID THAT ONE OR MORE OF THE ENGIN MOUNTS NEEDED REPLACEMENT”

“We just started having trouble with fuel system leaks and will probably have to junk the car because fixing the problem costs more than the car is worth”

“ive been leaking oil for over 5 years”

“It leaks when it is parked after driving”

“main seal leaking, cost too much to repair, will let leak”

“It seems to be an oil seal leaking”

“Leaks from head gasket, I think it was the distributor (2 O rings)”

“Burns oil and have to frequently check oil to make sure that have oil so engine does not seize up. Even have to do this after have had an oil change a short while before”

“Oil seal around filter wore out. The seal around the timing belt cover was most likely improperly installed when the timing belt was changed last year”

“Add about a half quart a month, change oil every 3,500-4,000 miles”

“Leaking oil from gasket which was by 3 mechanics. Finally, one mechanic resolved the issue but it was difficult”

“Water leaked into passenger compartment during heavy rains resulting in soaked floor mats. Dealer checked drains and cleared the problem”

“Serious leak developed in driver side, windshield!”

“Dash lights are intermittent at night sometimes they work but not often”

“Headlights are difficult and expensive to replace”

“The car lost the tail lights, brake lights and turn signal, but the headlights and turn signal in the front still worked”

“All but 1 overhead interior light is out, lights on dash are out, light on clock frequently goes out and has to be tapped back on”

“Keyless entry batteries have not been replaced, but only because we use one and have two. Replacement keys need to be copied early, or they become expensive to replace”

“Brake light wouldn't go out. Dealership checked brakes said okay but light stayed on. Finally replaced rear rotors and light went out”

“Gear box failed”

“Hard to re-start engine after running hot and stopping. Diagnosed the problem to the individual ignition coil and increased resistance due to age and heat. Replaced all 6 ignition coils and new spark plugs”

“Needed to replace electronic ignition. Prior to replacing, car would shut down expectantly while driving”

“Ignition switch is defective and the car id number is not in the recall list. The ignition can be turned off while the car is NOT in park. I reported this to the NTSB years ago and they did not respond. It is definately a safety hazzard”

“1998 but couldn't select. One spark plug rusted up at base. Couldn't start car. Changed out 3 things before checked spark plug at dealership. How did water get in to rust?”

“Needed to replace 3 spark plugs & related coils as coils part of spark plug. These are expensive, with the three spark plug/coils replaced costing almost $400.00. Previously, had to replace 3 spark plugs/coils, again at high cost”

“It was actually something to do with the fuel getting through to the spark plugs”

“Had to replace starter”

“it had bad gasket/seals”

“Had to replace the condenser”

“Welded sections of exhaust pipe. Still not perfect”

“complete failure of brake lines. drove 3 days using only hand brake”

“Honda accord is actually a 1997 model. Hole in exhaust system that needs to be replaced. Car works great, but value is not much so I have put off making repairs. Also, put off because paint on car has begun to fade because of sun damage. New paint”

“Where the front and back pipe meet the weld gave out. It's an old car”

“Honda fixed this. Driver's seatbelt not functioning correctly”

“Driver rear window slipping out of track had to be repaired”

“Right passenger window slid open by itself and power switch would not close it. Had to replace regulator twice”
