2001 Honda Accord ex-v6 review from North America
"Hondas are not all that good like that say"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I bought this brand new $35,000 junk Accord in june 2001 though it was a good car.
For one year "june 2001 to june 2002 nothing wrong.
One day I was pulling my car out of the drive way and heard a clicking noise comming from the trany- like when you put the car in gear.
So I brought the car back to the dealer
they didn't even take the car out for a test drive, and told me that the car needs a trany "3000km"
so the dealer put another trany in it.
Ran fine for 3 weeks and than broke.
That's when all the problems started.
Service engine soon light keeps comming on in the dash.
Dealer said it need another trany, so they put one in.
2 month later well making a left turn
at a stop light the car goes into limp mode "engine running, but trany not going into gear". I look down at the shifter and it was in drive4 but it would not go, I put it in other grears, but were all the same.
I had to shut the car off and start it again in the middle of the street with on comming cars in the other lane.
Finly I got going again.
This keeps happing over and again,
dealer has spent $17000.00 on it with defrent parts, but it still keeps happing to this day. todate the accord has 7500km on it, not very many km on it.
Well I have had it.
I going to buy something else
but not a junk honda.
So buyer be were.
General comments?
This was my first brand new car
that I bought
can't beleve this is happing on a new honda.
