NHTSA complaint #10185667, filed 2007-03, 48,000 miles“The power windows except for the driver's side stopped working from today (oct/13/2004). Not sure how much expense involved in fixing them as I don't have extended warranty for the vehicle. Also, driver's side window too slow in movement.”
NHTSA complaint #10095730, filed 2004-10, 51,000 miles“All of the above dates and mileage are approximate. I have the information on paper at home. I have also had the hardest time with Honda financial services with them calling me and saying that I never paid my monthly bill (last fall), which I did, and then finally they found the check and said "oh, our mistake, it has been here the whole time." and then now, I have them saying that I was in default of my lease because they never had information for my insurance, which my insurance was supposed to send them that information. …”
NHTSA complaint #10069667, filed 2004-01“The contact owns a 2001 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, the passenger front window fractured, then shattered into pieces. Sharp fragments of glass increases the risk of injury. He contacted the dealer and was advised by a technician that because there was no recalls, he would be responsible for the repair. He took the vehicle to a local repair facility and had the window replaced. He has pictures of the failed component. The failure and current mileages were 140000.”
