Those surveys are very important to Honda and to most of the dealers.They can determine how many cars are allocated to the dealer.Most dealers even pay incentives and or base your raise on them.We have to keep a 90% or higher in order to get our bonus for the month so we try about as hard as possible to make people happy..
#42 of 20241 a/c compressor by vinney Aug 09, 2000 (7:47 am)
hello, I have a 2000 lx 4cyl accord automatic trans. The other day I had to floor it to pass a car with the a/c running. my question is does the compressor shut off during hard accelaration and does this hurt the a/c system at all? does the engine cut off if you reach redline? also,can you lubricate the window channels with silicone spray? some windows roll up faster than others. This is a great running car much better than the chevy malibu I traded in for! thanks (vinney)
#43 of 20241 Recall Update by broncodave Aug 09, 2000 (12:06 pm)
I had the recall done on the Accord yesterday. They found nothing was wrong with the welding. Auburn63--Thanks for the info. on the survey. I think I have found another dealer other than where we purchased the 2nd Accord from to do work on our cars. Our main problem centered around our sale rep. not returning our phone calls over about a 4 day period. I finally had to call the sales manager. It was like once they got our money that was it. Thanks again.

For me it wasn't so much about everything that went wrong with it. It was more about how GM and the dealer acted. If a car breaks I expect both the dealer and the manufacter to be fair. GM wouldn't even listen. In fact the dealer told me "well you got 52K on the car, what do you expect?" I guess that says a lot about how they build their cars.
#45 of 20241 Vinney - Questions by jrct9454 Aug 09, 2000 (1:06 pm)
No, the AC does not cut off during hard acceleration - only cars I know of that are equipped to do that are police package domestics. Yes, the engine has a rev-limiter to keep it from being lunched - rather higher than 6000 rpm on a VTEC, but it is there. And yes, apply the spray to a rag or paper towel, and then use it on the rubbers - this also works on door and sunroof seals to eliminate creaking and squeaking noises. But don't try to spray it on directly - too messy - use a towel or rag.
#46 of 20241 Response to Survey by normkol Aug 09, 2000 (6:42 pm)
I also blasted my dealer in my survey. Gave up some free oil changes in order to do this. I sent the survey in early June, no response yet. Too bad I bought the SE in May, the price seems lower now. And the stock I sold to pay for the car has gone up 4 points. Norm

Having the right sales rep and dealership can make a big difference. I have a question about the design of the Accord coupes. Is there a reason why there isn't door guard strips running the side of the coupes. The car as far as appearanceis really sharp but after getting a few door dings on my Civic I realize their importance. The dealer I talked to said it was a dealer intalled option but I'm guessing it probably looks like crap. Seems like every other Honda has this incorporated into the car. I myself think it adds to the contour and shape of the car as well as protecting it.
#48 of 20241 RE: Accord side trim by hondaaccessory Aug 09, 2000 (10:01 pm)
the Honda option for it looks like: I looked for one on the lot to get a 'real' picture but didn't see one with the trim on it. -Trevor www.honda-accessories.com

Thanks for posting the pic. Any idea what the dealer asking price is for the option?
#50 of 20241 Vinney/ac compressor by auburn63 Aug 10, 2000 (4:01 am)
Jrct is mostly correct about the windows but the a/c compressor will and does shut of on hard accel or atleast has in the past years. I will double check tomorrow but they have done that for a while now so I can't see them changing that option.Also, although I have been known to use a silicone based spray it is best to use Shin-Etsu greese on Honda's seals and gaskets.It comes in a tube and can be applied by acid brush and or finger/rag.Then work the window up and down to carry the lube down the track.
