Re: Windshield Wiper Safety Recall for '03 [chucko3] by mrbill1957

Here is what is posted on the NHTSA web site.
 
"HONDA IS RECALLING 351,000 MY 2003 ACCORD VEHICLES. IF WATER ENTERS THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR BREATHER PORT, WHICH IS DESIGNED TO ALLOW THE MOTOR TO VENT WARM AIR DURING NORMAL OPERATION, IT CAN RESULT IN CORROSION INSIDE THE MOTOR HOUSING. THIS CAN CAUSE A FAILURE OF THE ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT BREAKER INSIDE THE MOTOR HOUSING."
 
If your referring to the vent intake screen, the size of the holes there probably doesn't apply. The motor vent hole is the culprit. The recall isn't mentioned if you search with 2004, just 2003 shows the recall.

came on on my 03EXV6 yesterday. The lights went away after I turned off
and started the engine again. First time this happened.
They didn't come on today.
Anyone experienced once?

2006 Accord EX CD Changer by thegraduate

Hey guys. Thought I'd let you know that my CD Changer has bitten the dust at 36,200 miles. I tried to change from disc 6 to disc 1, and it never would make the change, with continuous whining, then an "ERR" message. I tried ejecting the disc, and couldn't get it to stop whining trying to eject it. The next morning, the CD was sticking out of the slot. When I pushed the CD/AUX button on the dash, it didn't respond at all. I could play AM/FM, however. I could get to the CD mode by using my steering wheel "MODE" button, but when it gets to CD, it just says ERR and blinks the red LED at me.
 
I took it by the dealer this morning, and under the slightly extended warranty due to the class action lawsuit regarding odometers reading a little high, they ordered a new changer, citing that they are like transmissions; "we don't work on them, we just replace them." Whatever gets me my music back works for me . The only little issue here is that they have to send my old changer back to the supplier (Panasonic?) with my 5 other CDs in it, to be returned to the dealer in about 6 weeks time.
 
Needless to say, I'm not happy that this component failed pretty early in life, but I am pleased with the no-hassle treatment from my dealer. They are calling me Wednesday to let me know if the new changer comes in, they said it'd take 90 minutes to replace, and would give me a shuttle to and from work if I needed one. I guess you can't ask for much better than that, eh?

Honda service. Good for you,Grad. That's one reason I let my dealer do all my work,including state inspection stickers. They seem to appreciate the customers they see in the dealership frequently. .02.

I was there for an oil change exactly one week ago!
 
Now, if only they could do something for my dad and his Civic's tires... you can check out the 2006-2007 Civic Issues thread for that though.
 
I guess they'll change the whole center stack with climate controls too? I have manual A/C controls.

Were all the CDs commercially labeled, or did you burn and make your own CD label/s?

Some CDs are burned, some are commercially sold. I never ever put labels on my burned CDs; I just write on the label-side with a sharpie marker and allow plenty of dry time before ever playing them.

The burning smell is still there, 10,000 miles later... anyone think its a problem? It's not a plastic bag, they checked eons ago...

Need tire recommendation for 2006 Accord EX-V6 AT 4 DR by wds1

I would like some suggestions on replacing the tires on my 2006 Accord EX-V6, Automatic, 4 Door. The tires are P215/50R17 93V. I have the original tires on the car and am looking to replace the tires in the next couple of weeks. I live in the Southeast, so cold weather is definitely not an issue. Rain can be an issue or it was in the past until drought has seemed to set in....... Thanks for any input you can provide!

How many miles on the tires? I have a 2007 V6 and have good and bad about these tires Honda put on.
 Many say Bridgestone as a replacement,but i think Bridgestone are made by Michelin. I choked a bit when i saw what the original tires cost.
