1992 Honda Accord EX review from North America
"This is a great over all car and still looks good despite its age"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
90,000 miles stock CD player began to act weird in cold weather.
100,000 miles faulty starter.
120,000 miles tint began to bubble.
130,000 miles transmission computer shorted ended up costing a whole new transmission as well as computer.
130,000 miles master cylinder cracked.
140,000 miles compressor hose sprung leak and freon escaped.
140,000 miles thermostat faulty and car overheated.
150,000 miles transmission still acts up, but unhooking the battery for about 30 minutes works very well.
160,000 miles compressor switch went out.
160,000 miles stock CD player no longer works.
160,000 miles fuel injectors cracked.
The trunk leaks.
Door seals deteriorate.
Vibrates heavily in reverse.
Door sensors (for headlight warnings, dome light, door ajar, keys in ignition, etc.) Stick and/ or only work in cold/damp weather.
Door speaker fabric comes off.
Retractable antenna doesn't retract all the way.
General comments?
I know I put a lot of faults, but I get great gas mileage, and when it rains it pours, but at the same time once I get it fixed its fixed. I have put a lot of miles on it since I have had it, I drive 80+ miles a day in the Texas heat and the only thing that I have had to really invest in was the transmission.
