1990 Honda Accord LX review from North America
"An unexpected LEMON"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A power window motor broke.
The glove compartment won't open.
The paint wore off on the roof.
The air conditioning had to be replaced.
Both of my rear brake lights retain water and dump it into my trunk when I open it - and this is after a dealer "fixed" it.
The defroster doesn't work - also after a dealer "fixed" it.
The windows don't always roll up straight - which can allow water in, and these are only the problems that I don't typically associate with old age and normal wear and tear.
General comments?
You have to be rich to keep up with all of this car's repairs!!!!
