1994 HONDA ACCORD EX IS USED 6 MONTHS OF THE YEAR AS IT IS LEFT AT CONDO AND HAS $17,400 MILES. IT IS A PERFECT RUNNING CAR. ON DECEMBER 19, 2017 AN ICON SHOWED UP ON THE DASHBOARD. IT SAID "CHECK". WAS TOLD IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE ENGINE. WAS GOING TO BRING IT TO MECHANICAL STATION AS IT WAS LATE. AFTER DRIVING ON A HEAVY TRAFFIC MAIN ROAD, IT STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITH NO WARNING. IT WAS PUSHED TO THE SIDE AND HAD TO BE TOWED. IT WAS ABOUT $450.00. I NOW SEE THE CAR WAS RECALLED FOR THIS YEARS AGO. I NEVER GOT A RECALL WARNING. THE REASON I AM WRITING THIS IS BECAUSE IF THERE WAS A CAR IN BACK OF ME, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BAD. IF DRIVING ON I95 WHERE CARS GO TO 85 MILES AN HOUR, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN DISASTROUS. THIS CAR IS EXCELLENT AND I WAS TOLD BY DELRAY HONDA THAT "THIS ENGINE WILL LAST FOREVER". CARS SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED TO BE SOLD TO THE PUBLIC WHERE IT IS POSSIBLE TO JUST STOP WHILE IN MOTION. IT WAS A DISTRIBUTOR. HAVE A RECEIPT IF NEEDED.

1994 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY PRODUCTS. *SMD
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1994 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS WITHOUT WARNING. IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE LOCATOR BEACON HAD BEEN INSTALLED INCORRECTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE UNKNOWN.
THE WINDSHIELD DOES NOT CLEAR WITH DEFROST ON. IT FOGGS UP SO BAD YOU CAN NOT SEE TO DRIVE. VERY DANGEROUS. WE BOUGHT THIS CAR USED SEVERAL MONTHS AGO FOR MY 16 YR OLD TO DRIVE TO SCHOOL. NOW WITH THE WEATHER CHANGE I SEE IT IS NOW IS NOT SAFE.
