I would like to know if my 2001 Honda Accord has what is referred to as an EDR(engine data recorder)? I have heard that some cars have these units which record various parameters of the car such as speed, brake use,seatbelt use, air bag deployment and are subject to supoena in case of an accident. Anyone have info about this?

After I replaced the battery(could be co-incident) , I found the RPM and speedometer stopped working. I saw there's a posting back in 2007 for a '99 Accord with similar problem. However, the poster did not say what is replaced/repaired by the dealer. Anyone else with a similar problem? Could it be the vehicle speed sensor?

I loaned the car to a friend: she reported that the clutch suddenly would not engage and she could not get it into gear. I suspect she forced it into 2nd, and limped it to a parking lot, leaving it for me to tow home. I had the hydraulic master and clutch cyls replaced, along with the line, to the tune of $600 including parts. Now it is driveable, but 2nd gear synchro is fried. I think she must have broken the teeth off it when forcing it into gear. Car has 145K, runs great otherwise, plan to keep it. No other probs in any other gears, and had none prior to this (maybe slight scrunchiness in 2nd on occasion, and I know this gear tends to wear 1st.) Do I need to just "rebuild the tranny" or ought I just have the synchro replaced in this gear?

Does anyone know how to reset this light or has a website link that shows the steps to do this for 2001 Accord 4 cylinder? My son drives this car and I noticed the light being on. The car has 128K miles. I have done all the maintenance on the car and it does not need to go to the dealer for any service so far. Thanks, Joe

Hi, I am curious about a number of repair items suggested by my mechanic. The car runs ok, with the ride being a tad stiff. And, I think that the engine could be a little more efficient. I sometimes hear a loud screech when turning the car tightly at low speeds. Based on a friend's suggestion I thought that the CV boots needed replacement. After looking at the car the mechanic recommended the following repairs: Replace both axles: $350+ Replace both front struts: $450 Replace sway bar links: $150 Additionally, replace distributor housing: $330+ Total around $1500 with some other small items. Questions: Are these replacements expected for a car like mine? Are these quoted prices reasonable? Which one of these repairs can I live without for now? Should I plan for another automobile? Also, I want to get the engine efficiency issue looked at, but I am scared that will also be a large bill and I might be tempted to go for it.
