LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES - HOOD - LATCH
01/14/20051
 While driving to work on 1/14/05, southbound on highway i-75, my hood latch opened. my hood started to lift; before i could safely pull to the shoulder of the highway the hood latch safety failed. the hood instantly lifted and slammed against my windshield - completely obscuring my vision. luckily no vehicle was in the lane to my immediate right. i was able to safely steer the vehicle to the road shoulder. the impact of the hood against the frame of the windshield warped the hood hinges, crumpled portions of the hood and broke molding around the windshield. fortunately, i was able to partially close the hood and secure it with bungee cords. i was able to return home, driving at a slow speed, without further incident. i currently have an insurance claim being processed and will take the vehicle to the collision shop on 1/17/05 for inspection. i am shocked that the safety latch on the hood could fail under normal driving conditions. if the highway traffic would've been more dense, i'm sure this problem would've resulted in an accident. my vehicle is a 1999 honda cr-v. *nm
POWER TRAIN - AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

 I have a 99 honda accord v6 coupe. my transmission started holding out going into second gear, and had a small jerk. when come to a complete stop, it would downshift hard back into 1st gear. the transmission finally gave up on the highway on my way to work. the trany wouldnt shift out of second gear, and when it did, it would quickly shift back down, and cause the engine to rev at a high rpm. i called honda and they said they couldnt help me. i had my car put in the shop, and my trany rebuilt. cost me $1200. i was reading a chat forum, and have discovered a ton of people who are haveing trouble with their transmissions in their hondas'!!

 Automatic transmission on my 1999 honda accord v-6 coupe began slipping and shifting roughly at approximately 75,000 miles. aamco diagnosed a lubrication problem causing excessive gear wear, and recommended rebuilding the tranny. honda dealership concurred with this diagnosis, and replaced the entire transmission. the 2001-2003 v-6 accords have already been recalled for this exact problem. i believe a transmission design failure existed as far back as the 1998 accord models. a quick search on the internet revealed over 200 complaints regarding 1999 accord v-6 transmission failures. there is the potential for a serious safety problem if someone's transmission fails while they are driving. note: the website does not offer accord as a vehicle model option, so i selected crx, the only option, instead. *nm

 I have a 1999 4 cylinder honda accord with 85,000 miles on it. when accelerating the transmission hesitates sometimes. also when it shifts from 1st to 2nd it slips, causing the rpms to over-rev badly. i am a first time car buyer and bought a honda because i figured they were reliable and i wouldnt have to shell out the cash for a new transmission 6 months after my purchase.*ak

 On 1 feb 05, i took my 99 honda accord, vin # 1hgcg1645xa011445, to a honda dealer here in fort walton beach florida due to sluggish acceleration. they told me that the transmission system needs to be replaced for approximately $3,700. i asked them why the transmission would breakdown at 47,000 miles only. they said it is no longer covered by warranty but they will check with honda hqs. later on the day, they called and said honda will pay for the parts but i have to pay the labor cost ($504) to replace the transmission. my question is: why do i have pay for the labor if they agree to provide the parts. i read that there is a lot of problem on honda transmission so i presumed it is a factory defect. is there anyway you can help?*ak
POWER TRAIN - AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - GEAR POSITION INDICATION (PRNDL)
12/18/2004140000110/30/1999
 The handle that is the shifter for putting the automatic transmission into gear broke off! completely came off the stick and all the pieces inside the hand held piece fell out, leaving the metal rod exposed which, thank goodness, i could push in and still get the car in gear. it is a 1999 honda accord that also has the problem of a previous recall where the car will roll even w/the key taken out. i love my honda but having the gear handle come off is a serious safety hazard and i have no idea if i drive it if it will continue to allow me to shift it. i will have to take it to a dealer? i wanted to report it.*ak
SEATS - FRONT ASSEMBLY - RECLINER
05/20/200520
 Drivers power seat reclines on it's own every time i turn off the car. it is not because i hit it with my leg. it does not do it until i turn off the car, exit the car, and close the door. then i can watch the seat recline. this is very dangerous as my daughter was in a child seat beind the driver, and the rec lining seat crushed her leg causing severe bruising and much pain. honda claims they never heard of this, but i find references to it on www.
11/22/2004147500103/15/2000
 199 honda accord - the weld on the right bracket on the driver's side seat failed causing the seat to recline backwards unexpectedly. i am only 195 pounds and have never had a seat fail in any vehicle i've ever owned. this should be considered a recall item. the seat failure resulted in me jerking the steering wheel and temporarily loosing control of my vehicle. though i wasn't hurt it could have been worse had there been another vehicle in the lane i veered into. this is something that should be fixed at not cost to the owners of these vehicles. *ak

TIRES - TREAD/BELT
04/24/20050
 Insured stated while traveling on the hwy her rt rear tire blew and caused her to lose control of iv. the tire shreds hit the rear bumper and tore it off or partially off. the iv then spun across traffic and hit the median with left rear end. claims adjuster looked at the photos of the tire, and it does not seem like a normal blow out. the tread appears to have just fallen off the tire. what tread was left on tire is in good shape. so we are not looking at lack of care on insured's part. insd has the physical tire in her possession.
