The struts on both front and back went bad about 7 years ago. I was driving down the street with my boyfriend at the time, who is a mechanic and heard some thumping and other noises. He looked in under my honda and told me that my struts on both the front and back are bad and need replacing. It's gotten a lot worse, floating over bumps, having a difficult time keeping it under control while turning around any type of corner and if I happen to not see any kind of bump or whole in the road, it sounds as if my car is going to fall apart. I have taken exceptional care of my accord, but can't afford to pay for all new struts!!

After having the vehicle in "reverse" to get into a stall parking space on the street, it was shifted into "drive". While being in "drive" and tapping on the gas pedal, the vehicle went in "reverse" uncontrollably. The brakes did not respond. In an attempt to avoid reversing into a wall, the vehicle turned and crashed into a parked vehicle. The impact potentially injured a women that was standing behind the impacted vehicle talking with someone.

To whom it may concern, through this letter, I wish to inform you of my disagreement with the evaluation of the air bags in my 2000 honda accord. I was involved in an accident and the air bags did not deploy to protect me. When I addressed my concern to the dalton agency, I was informed that the service manager, manuel pez navarro and the head of mechanics, jorge cardenas only do oil change and filters. They advised if I wanted to know why the air bags did not function correctly, that I should pay a technician $600.00 pesos to connect a scanner to my car to see if there is an error in the system, an error that may have been there from the beginning when the car was assembled. Please understand that the factory invoice for my auto specifies that it has air bags at the highest security level. That is why I?ve taken my car to be service regularly at the dalton agency to keep all warranties in place. I placed my trust in the agency, in the honda company and in the global brand and feel that I have been misled about service and quality. I am totally disappointed by the lack of concern from individual lives. The trauma, injury and rehabilitation after the accident has been terrible, least having to deal with you has caused unnecessary frustration and fear. Knowing that the air bag situation has been called a simple mistake or accident does not help my dilemma. Luckily I am alive today, but a few centimeters could have made a big difference and caused a tragic story. What has happened to me could have happen to anyone else, especially someone having a hard time in life. Please consider taking responsibility and do the ?right thing?. I?m attaching pictures and copies of all documents for your review and providing the following information: license plate #: 124-ppu service history: 2001 ? Present service agency: honda dalton polanco de mxico, d.f.

I bought a honda accord with 162,000 miles on it and was told all it needed was brakes and rotors. When I was replacing the brakes and rotor on the front passenger side of the vehicle I inspected all other parts as well and that's when I noticed the big problem. The sub frame was rotted out. I did some research online and found that this is a common problem with this year and that honda recognizes this but fails to do anything about it. The air condition drain is positioned so that it is constantly dripping on to that part of the sub frame. This is a major safety issue and I was advised not to drive the vehicle until I had the part replaced. I researched the price and labor for the part : part: $600+ honda garage. Labor: $500+ honda garage. Honda needs to take responsibility for this as other honorable companies have.

I was approaching a traffic light at a speed of about 35 MPH driving my honda accord 2000 v6 on july 13, 2013 approximately @ 2.00 pm est. I was in the right lane and all of a sudden my car accelerated on its own increasing the speed to approximately 60 MPH. Shocked by the random acceleration, I applied brakes to stop the vehicle. After stomping on the pedal it was apparent that the brakes did not work . Therefore in order to avoid going towards the traffic I decided to drive into the woods on to my right side. The car came to a stop inside a wooded area 45 yards from the edge of the right lane knocking off all the trees on its way. It deployed both airbags in the front. The vehicle is completely damaged ( totaled). There was no injuries to me or any others in this crash. I firmly believe & suspect there was some malfunction in the vehicle's speed control system that resulted in this mishap. It would be a great help if you could assist in contacting honda motor company.

We just got in the car after valet parking returned it to us. After the first brake application at about 20 MPH the brakes went to the floor. We found a parking space and called for a tow to our honda dealer. The dealer called later to say that the brake lines had rusted through and could not be driven. This car has been serviced at this dealer since new and had just had the required 150,000 mile inspection with no mention of a problem. In 61 years of automobile ownership, I have never experienced such a problem. I think that this is a safety issue and not a normal wear and tear issue such as a leaky brake cylinder.

After 2 years owning the vehicle when it was driven for about 17k miles front brake pads had worn completely and had been replaced by a mechanic. After replacement when odometer showed 19.5k miles brakes have been overheating extremely and later brake pedal during usage started to exhibit heavy pulsations. Car has been taken to the mechanic that replaced pads with honda brand pads and discs have been resurfaced. At 25k miles vehicle pedal pulsations came back, rotors metal turned blue and overheating was bad. I understand that it is a brake design problem and decided to investigate on my own. I have a mechanical engineering master degree. At about 40k miles I made rotor replacement and oiled caliper bolts. Also, I investigated how toyota brakes of similar car size never got so hot and found one construction element that different between honda accord 2000 brakes and toyota camry brakes. Toyota brakes use v shape return springs on a brake pads and brake pads have holes in them to accept end points of these v springs. I drilled holes in honda brake pads using toyota camry brake pads as a reference. Also, bent v shape return springs from piano string 1.2 mm (bought in ace hardware) and installed the same way as on toyota. Rotors have been replaced at 40k miles. Currently car has 127k miles and same rotors as I put in 2004. I managed to get 35-45k between pads replacements after this modification and overheating of rotors has stopped. Whoever interested in fixing this honda brake design problem make sure to oil caliper pins and caliper side contact elements of brake pads during replacement with high temperature graphite grease. This is more important then resurfacing your rotors! Use toyota camry brake pads and v springs as reference or just buy v springs designed for camry (brake repair kit). This will solve all overheating and disk wobbling forever.
