1992 Honda Accord

1992 HONDA ACCORD EX WITH 149380 MILES. TRAVELING ALONG HIGHWAY AT 60 MPG AT 0545 IN THE MORNING CAR THEN DIES IN TRAFFIC. ABLE TO COAST TO THE RIGHT AND STOPPED UNTIL WRECKER SHOWED UP. WEATHER WAS 16 DEGREES AND CAR WAS RUNNING GREAT UNTIL THEN. AT THE DEALER, NOTICE THE HOOD WAS BURNT. SERVICE PERSON STATED IT WAS A BAD WIRE IN THE COIL AND/OR IGNITION. REPLACED WIRES, COIL, IGNITION,BREATHER TUBE. I WAS LUCKY. I NOTICED SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE HAD THE SAME ISSUE SO I'LL VOICE MY CONCERN ABOUT THE 92 COIL/IGNITION FIRES ON-LINE. USED PARTS WERE BURNED. 92 HONDA IS A GREAT CAR EXCEPT WITH THIS ISSUE. *JB

BRAKE SERVICE ON 1992 HONDA ACCORD.*MR THE CONSUMER PAID OVER $400 TO HAVE THE CALIPERS AND FRONT BRAKE PADS REPLACED. THE SERVICE WAS COMPLETE AND THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN THE CONSUMER INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE STILL DIDN'T STOP CORRECTLY. THE DEALER THEN INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED REAR BRAKE PADS. THE CONSUMER ASKED FOR A REFUND, SINCE THE VEHICLE STILL WASN'T FIXED, BUT WAS DENIED *NM

WHILE DRIVING AT 5 MPH AND TURNING INTO A PARKING AREA, WHEEL AND TIRE FELL OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER, AND THE MECHANIC INDICATED THAT THE LOWER BALL JOINT BROKE. *AK AS A RESULT THE RIGHT AXLE HAD GONE OUT WITH IT. THERE WAS NO WARNING. THE TIRES WORE FINE. HONDA WAS NEVER ABLE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE ABS WARNING LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE 1/2 MILE ALONG WITH NOISE. HONDA SUGGESTED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS FINE. *SC

I USED TO OWN A FIREBIRD, BUT I HAD TO TRADE IT IN FOR A BIGGER CAR CAUSE MY 2 YEAR OLD WAS GETTING TO BIG FOR THE BACK SEAT. I FOUND THIS CAR PLACE AND WENT IN AND MET WITH THE OWNER, TOLD HIM I DIDN'T WANT A PIECE OF CRAP CAR BECAUSE I HAVE A DAUGHTER TO LOOK OUT FOR, SINCE I HAVE HAD THE CAR IT HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT MONEY AND PROBLEMS. THE CAR I TRADED IN FOR HAD NO PROBLEMS. HE HAD TOLD ME THAT THE CAR WAS IN GREAT SHAPE, IT HAD NEW TIRES, AND BRAKES, AND IT RUNS GREAT. SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE MUFFLER, NEW TIRES, NEW BRAKES, DEFROSTER DOES NOT WORK, NEED A RADIATOR, I'M A SINGLE PARENT WITH LOW INCOME I CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX THE CAR EVERYTIME SOMETHING GOES WRONG.

THIS IS THE SECOND OF A SET OF FOUR TIRES BOUGHT AT COSTCO JAN99. LAST INCIDENCE OCCURED 13 MONTHS AGO WITH VERY SIMILAR DAMAGE. I WAS ON STREET BEHIND MIDDAY TRAFFIC WHEN I FELT THE TIRE GAVE IN - I DID NOT RUN OVER OR HIT ANYTHING, NOR DID I RUN UNDER PRESSURE AS MICHELIN CUSTOMER RELATION TRIED TO TELL ME. I HAVE METICULOUS RECORDS OF MY CAR AND (THOUGH I DO NOT WASH IT REGULARILY) I CONTINUOUSLY INSPECT IT. THE SIDEWALL SHREDDED AS IF A BEAR HIT THEM AND THEY SEPARTATED INTERNALLY FROM THE RADIALS (MEANING THEY PEALED INSIDE AWAY FROM EACH OTHER). I HAD/HAVE P185/70R14 (NOT ABLE TO ENTER THIS ON THIS FORM) *LA
