| (1) event hybrid design flaw: 1989 honda accord 2.0l fuel injection: manufactured as a hybrid, july 1989. proof of hybridization: auto part dealers show different parts for this model before, during, and after july 1989. also, the hybrid fuel injection is visible from the number of wire and tubes from the valve cover for the carburetor and the official fuel-injected model. an original equipment installed yet unused valve-drive cog sits idly under a cover while a hybrid timing chain system runs the valves in perfect timing. vin number: 1hgca624xka066292 the hybrid honda has a dangerous engine and transmission design-flaw vibration. an original design causes the vibration. we replaced the tires with new perfectly balanced tires and replaced the brake rotors and brake pads and replaced the suggested engine and transmission mounts. the honda still has the dangerous design flaw engine and transmission vibration. auto-parts dealers differ on what engine and transmission mounts to use. honda will not provide a factory manual on how many or where engine mounts and transmission mounts the hybrid needs. the hybrid design flaw vibration caused me to swerve into the other lane and barely avoid a head-on collision. when the driver applies an initial load as small as engagement of the air conditioning, the steering wheel actually jumps up and down. the design flaw dangerously vibrates the whole automobile. we replaced the tires with perfectly balanced tires, the motor mounts and the transmission mounts, and brake rotors and brake pads. braking is smooth. honda will not provide a factory manual to determine where or how many parts to use. chilton and hayes auto repair manuals do not have the hybrid detail. all part suppliers have too many variations for the engine and transmission mounts for this hybrid. honda should repair this design flaw in this automobile since it is a hybrid design flaw.*ak | |||

| I bought the car for my son, who is 18, and when a friend was going to change the oil and he hoisted it to work underneath it, the whole underside of the car is damaged. the muffler isn't secured as it is rusted out, the gas tank is smashed in. it's running off the catalytic converter and the car dealer said the car made so much noise because of a piece they had connected to the exhaust pipe to make it that way. i was lied to and i will have to invest even more money into the car because of the dealers intentional misinformation. *tr | |||
