Replying to: Lukie (Jan 25, 2009 6:39 pm) I have a green 2003 Honda Accord and the clear coat started getting cloudy over a year ago. My dealer actually painted the roof free of charge (car was 4 years old then) but now the problem is on my trunk and starting on the hood. I have always taken good care of my car which is not garage kept but that should not matter. Honda doesn't sell their cars stating that they must be garage kept to keep the clear coat from coming off. The district rep for Honda came out to inspect the car and gave me the same jive that he gave you about environment and mileage on the car (95,000 miles) which has nothing to do with the paint. Honda Customer Svc has agreed to give me $250 towards the cost to paint my car (my estimate is over $1,000). I am very dissatisfied with Honda and will not buy another car from them. I informed them of my dissatisfaction and they directed me to the Better Business Bureau. They were actually cocky about it. I would love to join a class action suit. A five year old car should not need to be repainted. Honda just don't seem to care and I believe they should pay for the car to be painted...not me.

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Jan 26, 2009 9:46 am) I swung by Advance Auto Parts and the guy looked up spark plugs for my 2004 Honda Accord EX-L w/ Navi (Auto, Sedan) and the NGK Laser Iridium 1ZFR6K11 (stock no. 6994) came up. It was $9.99 each and they were in stock.   I was expecting to find the IZFR6K13 (NGK) for SULEV model (4-door model only). Did I get the right plugs?   The Denso 3377 Iridium Long-Life also came up, but were $20.99 each and had a check shelf next to it so I just told them to forget about it.   there's a 3 year replacement on the NGK - how would that work for me? Would they go bad? if so, how would I know?   On the Denso, there's a 90 day replacement if defective. Both of these warranties are as per Advance Auto Part's printout.

Replying to: Jannsstterr (Jan 26, 2009 5:09 pm) My black '93 EX had to be repainted when the clear coat failed. My graphite '07 EX is staring to get cloudy on the hood already. I need to bring it in and have it checked. Also, I have found the '07 seems more prone to door dings then other vehicles (including the '93). The PDR guy is putting his kids through college on my $75/ding repairs lol.

Randomly had the passenger side air bag light come on during the middle of a road trip. It went off but still concerns me that it went off in the first place. I have a 2006 Accord EX.

Replying to: rascal7298 (Jan 26, 2009 7:17 pm) Are you talking about the one's up front or the ones that come out of the seat? I think those are side-impact airbags.   If the side-impact light went off, if you were riding with somebody, it may have meant that your passenger fell asleep and was leaning too far over. Otherwise I don't know.

Replying to: rascal7298 (Jan 26, 2009 7:17 pm) The light, above the hazard-flashers button, comes on when something or someone is in the seat that is similar to the weight of a child (the owner's manual tells this in detail). Somewhere between 45 and 89 lbs I believe. Lets you know the airbag won't deploy.   My backpack can do it sometimes. Nothing to worry about.

Replying to: rascal7298 (Jan 26, 2009 7:17 pm) Randomly had the passenger side air bag light come on   Thegrad was right... if no one was in the passenger seat and there was something on the seat that set off the light. However, it looks like you said the side air bag light came on. Was anyone with you? As someone said, that happens if they had an arm or were otherwise leaning against the door. It shuts off the airbag for safety reasons. Had it happen to me once when my daughter leaned against the door.

yeah my wife (about 120) was in the seat. I don't think she was leaning against the door, but she was moving around a lot to help with our baby in the back. Replies to this message: thegraduate (Jan 27, 2009 7:34 pm)

Replying to: rascal7298 (Jan 27, 2009 5:09 pm) That'll do it. My (now ex) gf was around 105 lbs, but when she'd cross her legs (putting more of her weight on the floorboard), the light would sometimes illuminate.
