I WAS DRIVING ON 1995 EXPRESSWAY AT 65 MPH, WHEN THE CAR COMPLETELY DIED, I MANAGED TO COAST IT INTO A BREAKDOWN LANE. I CALLED THE POLICE THINKING I HAD A COMPUTER CHIP PROBLEM THAT HAPPENED TO A PREVIOUS HONDA. FINALLY NOTICED THAT THE RADIO WAS WORKING AND THERE HAD BEEN A KEY SYMBOL ON THE DASHBOARD BEFORE IT WENT OUT. I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR UP AND THEN REALIZED THAT THE IGNITION KEY HAD SLIPPED FORWARD INTO THE OFF POSITION WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I HAD NOT TOUCHED IT, NOTHING JARRED IT AND I CANNOT REPEAT IT BY HITTING OR LEANING ON THE OTHER ITEMS ON THE KEY CHAIN. I NOTICED THAT THE KEY HAS A LOT OF ROOM TO JIGGLE IN THE IGNIITION SWITCH. CHECKED YOUR NHTSA TO SEE SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH HONDA. VERY CONCERNED. HONDA WILL NOT SEE THE CAR UNTIL NEXT WEEK, THEY CLAIMED OF HEARING ABOUT IT IN OLDER CARS BUT NOT NEWER. *AK

I TOOK DELIVERY OF A 2004 HONDA ACCORD EX WITH LEATHER ON JUNE 25, 2004. ITS BEEN EXACTLY A WEEK. I HAVE DRIVEN ABOUT 580 MILES IN A WEEK.

I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED AFTER SPENDING $24000 ON A BRAND NEW CAR. *AK 1) THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE 'D' LIGHT ON DRIVER SIDE DASHBAORD IS CONTINUALLY FLASHING. 2) I CAN HEAR SOME SLIDING NOISE FROM LEFT TO RIGHT AND VICE VERSA WHEN MAKING SHARP TURNS (HAPPENS ALL THE TIME). THE SOUNDS SEEMS TO BE COMING FROM UNDER THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT 3) AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 60 MILES IN ONE GO IN WARM WEATHER(TEMPERATURES IN 80S), I HEAR A RUBBING/SQUEAKING NOISE WHEN MAKING TURNS. BECOMES MORE AUDIBLE WHEN WINDOWS ARE ROLLED DOWN. SOUNDS MORE LIKE TIRES RUBBING AGAINST THE BODY. 4) PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR IS SOAKING WET AND I ASSUME IT IS WATER. I CAN HEAR WATER SLOSHING SOUND UNDER THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT WHEN MAKING TURNS.

CONSUMER STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING THE SUSPENSION FELT FUNNY. THE FRONT WHEELS WANDERED. CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER SEVEN TIMES, AND EACH TIME DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM,AND STATED NOTHING WAS WRONG.

THERE WAS AT LEAST A 10% DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE CONSUMER'S VEHICLE AND ANOTHER OF THE SAME YEAR/MAKE, AND MODEL. CONSUMER STATED THAT THE HONDA REPRESENTATIVE PROMISED TO CALL HIM, BUT AS OF YET HAD NOT DONE SO. THEN, WHEN CONSUMER DID GET IN TOUCH WITH THE HONDA REPRESENTATIVE HE WAS OFFERED MUCH LESS FOR THE VEHICLE THAN WHAT HE PAID FOR IT. CONSUMER WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE WHEELS. *AK

I INCHED THE CAR OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID TO GET THE CAR RIGHT DOWN TO THE DEALERSHIP. I DROVE THERE ABOUT 10 MILES AN HOUR WITH MY 4 WAY FLASHERS ON ALL THE WAY. THEY SUPPOSEDLY ROAD TESTED THE CAR FOR BRAKE NOISE AND CHECKED LINING, THEY SAID EVERYTHING WAS FINE, THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE PROBLEM.
