2002 Honda Accord Fuel System Problems

'TAKATA RECALL' HIGH PRESSURE POWER STEERING LINE LEAK IN THE HOSE AND OIL LEAK. VEHICULAR WAS STATIONARY AND NOTICED FLUIDS DRIPPING.

I TOOK MY HONDA TO HONDA OF STEVENS CREEK AND ASKED IF THEY KNEW ANYTHING ABOUT MY CAR NOT STARTING WHEN IS LEFT ON HOT WEATHER. THEY SAID THEY WAS A BULLETIN BUT NO RECALL AND THEREFORE I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FIX. I LOOKED ONLINE AND IT SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL PRESSURE REGULAR OR SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT. HOW DOES ONE GET A COMMON PROBLEM FIX OR START A RECALL PROCESS? IT SEEMS TO ME THAT HAVING TO USE MY VEHICLE IN COLD WEATHER ONLY IS PROBLEMATIC. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP. *TR

I HAVE HONDA ACCORD 2002 WHICH HAS BEEN REGULARLY SERVICED BY HONDA DEALERS. I RECENTLY GOT MY 120K SERVICE DONE AND SPEND ABOUT $1000 ON SERVICE AND PARTS. AT THAT TIME EVERYTHING WAS DIAGNOSED OK. AFTER COUPLE OF MONTHS DRIVING THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR NEEDS TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT WITH A COST OF $4000 UPWARD. I RESEARCHED ON THE WEB AND CAME TO KNOW THAT THE 2002 ACCORD HAVE TRANSMISSION ISSUES. A RECALL WAS DONE IN 2004 FOR TRANSMISSION. I DIDN'T RECEIVE ANY RECALL NOTICE FROM HONDA IN 2004. SINCE HONDA KNOWS ABOUT THE ISSUE I THINK HONDA SHOULD BE LIABLE TO PAY FOR THE COST OF FIXING THE TRANSMISSION. COULD ANYONE LET ME KNOW WHAT IS MY RIGHTS IN THIS SITUATION CONSIDERING IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND HONDA DID NOTHING ABOUT IT. IT IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD SINCE FAULTY TRANSMISSION CAN LOCK THE ENGINE RESULTING IN CRASH. PLEASE ADVISE. *TR

1/4 TO 1/2 GALLON OF FUEL JUST STARTED TO RUN OUT FROM UNDER THE FUEL TANK WILL FILLING UP WITH GAS AT A LOCAL SAFEWAY FOOD STORE .CALLED THE DEALER SIMS HONDA MOUNT VERNON WA THEY SAID IT'S NOT A EMMISION CONTROL DEVICE AND IS NOT UNDER ANY WARRANTY.I ASKED WHAT ABOUT A SAFETY ISSUE HE SAID IT WAS BUT I WILL COST ME I SAID NO THANKS ILL TRY YOU GUYS.*AK

I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH MY VERY FIRST NEW CAR PURCHASE. I THOUGHT HONDA WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A NUMBER ONE CAR FOR SAFETY AND WAS SUPPOSED TO BE LONG LASTING. I HAVE HAD MINE IN THE SHOP 6-7 TIMES IN THE LAST 6 -7 MONTHS AND IT IS DUE TO GO INTO THE SHOP AGAIN BECAUSE THEY STILL HAVE NOT FIXED THE WINDOW BUTTONS CORRECTLY. I HAVE HAD THE CAR NOT START 3 TIMES AND HAVE BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALER TO HAVE THEM TELL ME THAT NOTHING IS WRONG. I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT A CAR FOR SEVERAL DAYS WHILE THEY HAVE IT HOOKED UP TO SOME COMPUTER AND HAVE HAD NO RENTAL CARS AVAILABLE TO ME. I AM VERY FRUSTRATED AND VERY AFFRAID TO GO OUT TO MY CAR AND HAVE IT NOT START ON A DAY THAT I REALLY NEED IT. I WANT THESE PRONBLEMS FIXED AND AM BRINGING IT TO ANOTHER DEALER TO SEE IF THEY CAN HELP ME WITH IT. DT
