I just read and printed the settlement to the Class Action Suit against Honda for the automatic transmission failures. The entire court documents can be found at www.hondatransmissionsettlement.com. You can enter your car's VIN # to see whether or not you car is part of the settlement. My car is but I have not had any problems with the transmission so far. I have less than 75,000 miles on my 2000 Accord. The Class Members in the settlement have to have had to purchase/lease the car after 11/21/98 and had less than 109,000 miles on the car on 8/21/06. The settlement extends the warranty on the transmission to 93-months and/or 109,000 miles. There is nothing in the court documents indicating you need proof the transmission was serviced every 50,000 miles.

Changing drivers side low beam bulb Accord 2002

Does anyone know how to change drivers side low beam halogen bulb on Honda Accord 2002 V6? All the manual says is to remove the radiator overflow container (easy enough), but the bulb is still covered by a plastic case.
Don't know how to remove the plastic screws to remove the plastic case. Might also have to remove battery and air filter casing?
Replacing passenger side bulbs is easy enough, also replacing drivers side high beam is also easy (but not the low beam)
Thanks
Thanks

My new used 98 Accord has started dying while driving down the road. The green key light flashes on the instrument panel. The car will start right back up usually... even while still rolling down the road most times.
Please help me know what is my problem? Key? Ignition?Main Relay? and how can I determine which it is?
Thanks for the Help!!

I have a 2002 Honda Accord and Honda just replaced my Transmission. They did not need any service records. If you are having a problem with the V6 transmission there should not be any need for your service records...

1998 accord ex v6 vibration

Hello,
I have recently purchased a 1998 accord ex-v6 with 39,000 miles on it. I'm not a previous Honda owner but this seems like a nice enough car. However I have a vibration that seems to be suspension related (maybe), or at least not engine related. I feel it through the steering wheel as well as the ride itself and it seems to come and go. It occurs while coasting or driving at a steady speed, especially around 60mph, but at lower speeds as well. The car idles perfectly and the acceleration seems smooth. I had the tires aligned, balanced, and rotated which alleviated the problem but did not eliminate it. Sorry for being so vague but I'm hoping that someone more technical than me can maybe at least ask me the right questions to get me going in the right direction. The tires appear to be relatively new as a final tidbit of info. Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Sincerely,
danarich

I have a similar problem with mine (98 4-cyl). It turns out that one of the rims is slightly bent causing steering wheel vibration. I especially notice it while braking and at lower speeds. If this is the problem, rotating the tires will change the feeling of the vibration (you'll feel it more if the wheel is on the front). I haven't replaced my wheel..I'm just dealing with it for now.

I have a 1998 V6 Model it runs great and has 127K miles on it. This place where I went to have my oil changed, the guy advised me that i should have the Timing Belt changed. He gave me a quotation for $ 850 which included Water pump also. I took the car in for the job. He called me after an hour and said there was something broken(strut I think) and then reeled out a list of things that I should replace, including Termostat, Brake liner, spark plug, Ignition Wite, clutch etc. Since, I was nearby, I just went over and asked him what was broken, he said nothing was broken, but he was just recommending that I get them done as a precaution. I asked him to just stick to the Timing Belt and give me an Estimate for the Laundry List that he had and I would get it done next time I had a budget. Well, this extra 'Laundry List' toted up to $ 1400!! The Bill for the Timing Belt replacement came to $ 1200.

Should go to a Honda Dealer for more complicated work. The dealer would have done a better job for 800-850. Go back and tell the guy you want your 350 back. Go to the dealer next time.
