Honda Accord Euro (Dealer Warranty Repair List)

[EuroAccord13]

Yes - the large centre console with the PUSH in chrome. Once it is closed it is VERY difficult to open (and there is nothing in there).

Ahh.. Mine doesn't open up all the time LOL..

But I'm talking about the center compartment with the pull out driver arm rest, that flat bed bit doesn't hold on anymore LOL...

I'm gonna report it again to my dealer and demand a change because the last time I checked with them, they said it's normal and then one Euro owner here managed to get it replaced...

The dealer said it was normal? lol The thing doesn't hold closed? My flat bed compartment seems to hold fine although I usually keep it open most of the time. That should be replaced.

I had mine fixed under warranty, but it's the centre console where the arm rest can be pulled out.

With the cd compartment, I just found out 2 days ago that there's a small vertical divider inside on the back wall near the top. It holds 4 standard cd case, or 6 slim cd case on the left side.

back to topic... mine still open and close fine.

New problem - CD compartment doesn't open and close properly. Anyone had this issue?

yfin - yep - similar problem with my CD compartment. Get it fixed under warranty.

Well - wouldn't you know - mine just fixed itself and opens and closes again.

Problem 1
Problem: Front windows have faint scratch marks all over the inside, make loud squeeling noise occasionally when winding windows up and down

Issue: Rang Tinting place to get a quote, they said they can't give me a lifetime warranty on the Euro unless I change the window rubbers. They offered to do it for free if I provide the new rubbers -

Outcome: It was a warranty issue, so I went back to the dealer and explained the two options. Either they fix it and lose a 1/2 day in labour + the cost of parts, or they give me four softer window rubbers and the tinting place will do it. I have four new window rubbers on the back seat ready to be installed next tuesday by the tinting place

Problem 2
Problem: Drivers seat creaks in the centre of the backrest when I sit in it

Issue: Dealer said that some of the upholstery in the seat must have come away (I'm not to blame here either - 6'2" ~85kgs so by no outside normal size/weight range)

Outcome: Dealer said they would book me into the upholsterer when possible to get the seat repaired. 1-2 months on and still now word back, so I need to follow it up again.

On my previous 2003 Euro, I had the exact same problem, driver seat was creaking in the centre and I'm only 65kgs 5'6" - so I'm not big either so I think this problem maybe more common on the Euro than your dealer might think. I never got mine looked it - got used to it along with other creaks and squeaks that are particular to Accord Euro's

[primetimex]

Problem: '03 Euro had "whining noise" from the A/C unit whenever it's turned on hot or cold and progressively got worse over time

Cause: Noisy TX Valve that had to be replaced

Solution: TX Valve will be replaced under warranty - although it is a big job as I understand it is just behind the passenger compartment side

That creaking noise on the centre of the drivers seat - I don't normally have that but if I change the back-support angle to certain angles, it can creak a little bit. But no problems at the current angle I've set it on!

With Headlight with condensation - are they normal or HID lights?

mine is a STD with normal halogen headlights and it gets it
Mates is LXY with HID and it happens in that as well

[Omotesando]

Its even worst in the friend's LUX than yours ?
I wonder if they just blow it dry and then put a better seal somewhere :S

I think I'm lucky. My rattles than I initially complained of are all gone. Nothing wrong with the car for now, except for the timing chain noise once in a while.
