2003 Honda Accord EX review from North America
"Piece of Junk"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
12,000m - ABS Harness caught on fire, luckily Honda replaced everything. I saved the car with a fire est.
15,000m - Front Brakes and rotors - silent recall.
--- recall on the transmission gear -- no issue with mine.
40,000m - Radio unit goes out.
Car cranks to get it to start, Honda advised its the fuel gauge regulator - when its actually the fuel injectors, which they won't replace.
I wrote American Honda about the fire and asked for a new car because I didn't trust the vehicle. They were NASTY about the whole situation.
I traded the piece of crap in last week. Will never own another Honda again. Refusal to recall things.
General comments?
Car is not worth the hype.
