Hi, I live in Canada, and planning to buy an Accord 2003 or 2004. But I read many negative reviews about the 2003 one. Is it true that the Accord 2003 has major transmission failure problem? Also, when dealers mention the word Certified, how reliable is it? Or they still play with the millage? I am very confused. Should I go for a 2003 or 2004? and dealer or Private? Views please!

Replying to: thegraduate (Apr 15, 2009 10:21 am) It would be nice to have the piece of mind, but I haven't heard about this "greatly extended warranty". Please fill me in grad. Far as I know, the only warranty extension on my 03 V6 is the audio screen dimming thing. The warranty on everything else ended at 3/36.

On a different topic, I had an interesting experience with my 1991 Accord. 91 may have been the only year where they had the seatbelts that opened when the car door opened, and automatically slid over and closed on you when you got in and closed the door. Well, my seatbelt mechanism broke, meaning I couldn't use the driver's side seatbelt. This happened in about 2003, when the car was 12 years old. I took it to the local dealer in Naples, FL, who wanted $800 to repair it. I called Honda's HQ customer service and they said there was no charge to repair it. (Obviously they were thinking ahead about the liability they could possibly have on their hands if there was an accident and I had a no seat belt as it was faulty.) Got this all squared away with the local service manager, who was contacted by HQ. When I went to pick it up, the service manager was not around and the staff insisted they had to charge me the $800!!! I had to stand there for an hour and a half before they admitted it was no charge and gave me my keys!!! Terrible experience.... Anyway, it was pretty cool that they would do the right thing and fix a problem at no charge on a 12 year old car!
