Complaint received via e-mail. I purchased a brand new car, and since then I have been back to the dealership numerous amounts of times for many problems. First problem was my brakes needed to be replaced at 4600 miles, but weren't replaced until 7700 miles 3. 5 months later due to back order. Currently, with 17,900 miles the brakes were grinding again. This is my 3rd Honda, and the worse one, yet likely my last. The second problem was that my right rear door was locked for 3 months. The dealer claimed that the problem was due to getting my windows tinted, but they attempted to fix three times, and was told the third time the problem only occurs if the temperature goes below 32 degrees. Since then the temperature has been over 32 degrees. I also have problems with sulfur odor coming from the exhaust, and was told that this was normal problem ,would go away with time. But as time goes by the odor gets worse, and smells like rotten eggs. Another problem with the car is the alignment has been off since I bought the car. I have had my own mechanic look at the car, and he believes the car won't align correctly because of the axles. The final problem with my piece of crap Honda is the driver seat isn't secure, it slides very little back and forth and side to side.

Various problems with 2000 Honda Accord. The alternator failed, the egr valve failed, the srs light illuminated, the driver's seat back panel had fallen due to s defective plastic anchor pin, the a/c stopped working, and the front passenger door seal at the bottom was falling off.

(1) driver's power seat was moved to its most extreme rearward position while cleaning under the seat. Backrest was not moved or unlatched from it's normal upright position. Seat was then repositioned to its normal driving location. (2) upon sitting in the seat and leaning back against the backrest, it gave way and driver fell backwards. Holding onto the steering wheel prevented driver from falling into a nearly horizontal position. Upon releasing pressure against the backrest, it sprang back to its normal upright position. Seat would not lock into the upright position. If the latch had failed while driving the driver would have been thrown backwards and could have resulted in loss of control of vehicle with a possibility of a crash. (3) driver attempted to operate the power seat's various controls controls to re-engage latching mechanism without success. When vehicle was brought to dealer, it took about an hour of disassembling the module containing the latching mechanism module before it could be made to lock. Technician could not explain why it failed and why it repaired itself or that it wouldn't happen again with the original module. New part was ordered and is to be replaced at owner's expense week of July 5- approximate cost $400. Presently don't know if I can retain custody of old part.

Front passenger seat has for 3 years failed to lock into place after the front seat is moved forward to allow access in the backseat.

After tilting forward passenger side front seat only locks into place if the back of the seat is locked back before sliding the seat back into place. I have had several occasions where the passenger slid forward while braking. The seat belt held, but the passengers were caught by surprise.

If they do not lock the back upright first, there is a chance the seat is not locked into place.
