The contact owns a 2003 Honda Accord. While driving 45 mph, the vehicle shook violently. The contact coasted the vehicle to the side of the road. The vehicle was driven to the contact's residence and taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the front passenger side axle connected to the transmission and wheels were corroded. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 111,680.
The right front axle suddenly failed while making a left turn at slow speed. The axle cracked in half at mid shaft at the location of the axle damper under which the axle had corroded evidently resulting in its failure. This suggests that water (and salt in our climate) can collect under the axle damper leading to corrosion and potentially catastrophic failure.

(please check the attached full complaint letter) I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a concerning matter regarding my experience with the american Honda motor company. As a loyal consumer and a law-abiding citizen, I believe it is crucial to address issues that impact consumers and the general public. Since 2013, I have been trying to resolve a critical issue with my brand-new Honda Accord car I bought from Honda. Unfortunately, american Honda company didn’t resolve the issue that affected my car and hundreds of thousands of the same cars’ owners that they sold in NJ and in 22 salt belt states. My argument with the american Honda company is that they have a major design issue with their front left and right axles for Honda Accord cars that have been manufactured since 2003.
At around 107,000 miles, I noticed my transmission leaking fluid very rapidly. In addition, the front end of the car started vibrating violently between 50mph and 60mph.
Honda Accord ex v6 pulling to the right. I had my car aligned 6 times in tire kingdom. When I called regal Honda lakeland florida about the problem. They said they need to do an alignment again. I told them I have done it 6 times. And the car is not safe to drive. They are not willing to fix the problem.
I am experiencing a steering vibration during stops in my 2003 Honda Accord lx sedan with automatic transmission. I have contacted a Honda dealer and they were not able to provide a cause for this and said noting is wrong with my Honda. I have seen that there is a NHTSA id #10000990 tbs reported about the steering vibration issue. My car has only 33k miles on it. I believe Honda should fix the problem.
Consumer purchased a 2003 Honda Accord brand new,and since then it has been rattling. Consumer took vehicle back to the dealer, and dealer replaced a few things. But had not fixed the problem. Consumer did not know where the sound was coming from.
I test drove 03 Accords that tracked straight and some that did not. The car I picked pulled to the right, but the salesperson assured me that the car could be corrected by an alignment. Before I took delivery of my car, I asked they do an alignment, but when I drove the car upon delivery it still pulled to the right. So I took it back for a second alignment that again did not fix the problem. On my third try to do an alignment, they found a service bulletin that said that my Accord needed to have its subframe adjusted. They did the subframe adjustment and it made the situation better, but was still misaligned. On my fourth attempt at the dealer to get the alignment right they said that my car was within spec because it did not drift out of its lane in under 6 seconds. They said that alignments could not always be right on new cars and I should accept the car because it was within spec. But it is unacceptable that even when the road slopes slightly down on the left of the road, the car still drifts to the right. Out of frustration, I went to an independent wheel and brake shop for alignment (which Honda will not pay for, so it was $60 out of my pocket. ) they where able make the car track straighter than before, but it still drifts to the right, even on road completely flat or sloping slightly down on the left. They found that the springs of my car made the right front tire on my car ride 1/4" lower than the left front tire. They think this creates a slight problem that cannot be completely compensated for. I am currently in the process of trying to get the customer service representative from american Honda corp. To try to fix the situation, but I might be out of luck. They keep saying car is "within spec". My case # at Honda is n012003-09-0500462. The representative is anthony hill.
(1) a. Window being scratched by something in panel. Both driver and passanger window. B. At about 16000 miles it was noticed that the transmission was leaking so badly I couldn't drive out of the dealership. ( I believe the car may have been leaking since purchase. New with only 36 miles. ) c. Trunk liner sagging. D. When making left hand turns if you have the sunvisor out it can swing and hit you in the head. E. Passenger door latch not activated. Could not open door from inside. (dealer forgot to install this on window repair. ) f. Motor mounts not installed correctly. G. Belt tensioner needed replacement. H. Car pulling to the right. F. Black seal around door frame warping. (2) no consequences from any of these failures. Except loss time having to leave car overnight for several days. Who know what longterm effects of a leaky transmission, belt tensioner, and improper motormounts have on the car. (3) under warranty the dealer corrected every problem. Mosts times more then one repair for the same problem was needed to correct the problem. For the tranmsission the dealer tried to stop the leaks with Hondabond. The next morning I had leaks in the drive way. They had my car for a whole week on the first fix attempt. Finally Honda replaced the transmission with a new one. Nothing was done about the visor because the dealer said if they install a new one it will do the same. My windows are still being scratched by the felt lining in the window panel.
I purchased a new 2003 Honda Accord ex-v6 sedan on 7/22/03 and immediately noticed that the car pulled to the right. I returned to the dealer for installation of upgraded wheels (Honda 16" chrome. . . My expense). Despite changing the wheels, the symptom still existed. I then returned to the dealer and they performed a front end alignment. Afterwards, the car still pulled to the right. I contacted american Honda, and they assigned case no. N012003-09-05-01198. They acknowledged that they had received other similar complaints, but advised that no "service bulletin" had been issued. This condition affects the safety of the vehicle. I want Honda to take responsibility for correcting this hazzardous defect on my vehicle and all others with similar defect. Let's not wait for fatalities!.
Vehicle drifts to the right. Dangerous on interstates when traveling @ 70mph. Must constantly hold vehicle in lane. Also problems with brakes grabbing when stopping. Dealer adjusted subframe and replaced brakes. Vehicle is still extremely sensitive to road crowning. Dealer said the drift is better but not perfect. I'm still concerned with safety of vehicle.
The vehicle drifted to the side.
Vehicle had an alignment problem. It constantly pulled to the right.
Purchased my new Accord 9/02, two days later took car in to dealer. Car pulls to the right. Have taken my car in total of 5 time in last 9 months, still pulls. Manufactures says I will have to learn to live with it that way. Car is unsafe for me and my children to ride in.
Vehicle alignment problems. Vehicle has been at the original purchase dealer four different times, tires were rotated, and the vehicle was aligned. Vehicle was taken to a different dealer, and they stated that vehicle had serious problems with the frame. Manufacturer was contacted, and has told the consumer that he will need to meet with somebody from the manufacturer so the can recheck vehicle, but no solution has been found so far.
