2003 Honda Accord EX review from North America
"It's a fun car to drive, but it comes with too many rattles and recalls"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The catalytic converter had to be replaced at 4255 miles.
The body seams had to be sealed.
Flap seals had to be installed.
Both sun visors rattle.
There is a noise coming from the driver's door window or roof area.
The center piece of the dash had to be replaced at 15,600 miles due to rattles.
Both of the door panels had to be replaced due to rattles.
The transmission had a recall.
The airbag light comes on when it's very windy.
General comments?
The Accord EX 2003 is a great looking car.
The heating and air conditioning work really well.
However, there are too many rattles.
Also, I have spent much too much time at the dealership having the car serviced.
