FALLING ACORNS HAVE LEFT OVER 30 POCK MARKS ON THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE. WE ALSO HAVE A 2002 HONDA CRV THAT WAS SUBJECTED TO THE SAME CONDITIONS WITH MUCH LESS DAMAGE RESULTING, JUST A FEW SMALL DINGS. THE METAL ON THE 2003 ACCORD FEELS SIGNIFICANTLY WEAKER TO THE TOUCH THAN THE BODY OF THE 2002 CRV. I PREVIOUSLY HAD A 2000 ACCORD THAT WAS ALSO SUBJECTED TO THESE CONDITIONS WITH MINOR DAMAGE. THIS CAR LOOKS LIKE IT WAS PELTED WITH HAIL STONES. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT A CAR SHOULD WITHSTAND THE IMPACT OF AN ACORN! I WONDER HOW IT WOULD DO IN A CRASH TEST. DT
I HAVE A 2003 HONDA ACCORD PURCHASED IN MARCH 03. THE LEFT REAR AND RIGHT FRONT IS LEAKING WATER. WE DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHEN THIS STARTED BUT NOTICED IT ON MAY 3RD. DEALER HAS BEEN UNABLE TO FIX AS OF NOW AND NOW CAR IS SMELLING LIKE MOLD. CONCERNED ABOUT MOLD NOW THAT IT SMELLS. TECHS AT DEALER HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX. HONDA MOTOR CORP. WAS CALLED BY ME AND DEALER BUT THEY HAVE BEEN NO HELP. I KNOW THAT IT'S DANGEROUS TO BREATHE IN MOLD SO I AM NOW AFRAID THAT SINCE THEY HAVEN'T FIXED AND DON'T KNOW WERE IT'S LEAKING FROM THAT THERE COULD BE MOLD THAT I AM NOT SEEING. *NLM
DRIVER SIDE WINDOW AND WINDSHIELD ARE CREAKING WHEN DRIVING OVER LEFT SIDE BUMPS. CAR TAKEN TO DEALER WHO CLAIMS THIS IS NORMAL BODY FLEX WHICH IS INCORRECT. RESEARCH INDICATES THAT THIS IS POSSIBLY DUE TO A PILLAR CLIPS OR MOHAWK STRIP, HOWEVER DEALER INSPECTED THE A PILLAR AND CLAIMS IT IS "TIGHTENED TO SPEC". *NLM
MY 2003 ACCORD WHEN PUT INTO REVERSE WILL ACCELERATE AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED WITH NO PRESSURE BEING PUT ON THE GAS PEDAL. THE CAR ALMOST FEELS LIKE IT'S OUT OF CONTROL AND MAY NOT BE ABLE TO BE STOPPED. ALSO, WHEN DRIVING IN REGULAR GEAR THE CAR WILL CONTINUE AT IT'S CURRENT RATE OF SPEED WITHOUT ANY PRESSURE BEING PUT ON THE GAS PEDAL. WHEN THE CAR IS UNDER THESE CONDITIONS IT FEELS LIKE THE CAR IS "STUCK" IN GEAR AND WON'T/CAN'T GET OUT OF THIS ACCELERATION MODE. *NLM
