Honda Accord Euro (Dealer Warranty Repair List)

**EuroAccord13** · 29-03-2005 09:16 PM

With the amount of problems we have creeping up in our rides. I was wondering if those who had problems and have taken it down to the dealer for warranty repairs, please state the problem and dealership and the state you are in where the car was repaired. If possible, state any information that you think might be relevant to the repairs.. Dealer replies and advices etc, your actions etc..What happened in the end etc, was it covered? Was there alot of trouble to get it repaired under warranty etc...

I think it would really help us Euro owners who haven't had the problems or starting to have problems to better deal with them..

CHEERS ALL

Problem: Driver's window scratched badly on delivery - only noticed by me after windows tinted one week later.

State: Vic - Oakleigh Honda

Issue: Honda dealer said it was caused by tinters (Tint Professor). Tint Professor said they never used anything sharp on the window. The dealer obtained second opinion (Tint a Car next door - they tint the dealer cars). The owner of Tint a Car said in front of me and the dealer - he sees scratched windows from the dealership all the time. He said it is very common for windows to be scratched from factory and the tint makes the scratch obvious. I was so happy to hear him say that.

Outcome: dealer replaced window free of charge.

Problem: Creaking clutch and a notchy feeling halfway down the clutch travel

State: NSW - Rick Damelian

Issue: The creak only comes after 20 minutes of driving. The first time, the dealer lubricated the clutch pedal spring. Problem came back after 1 month. The 2nd time, dealer replaced master cylinder. It has been 2 months and the clutch is still quiet. My 1-2 shift grinds less and I can get into 1st gear when the car is moving slowly now.

Outcome: Dealer replaced master cylinder under warranty after the lubrication did not work.

I suspect that most of us have the master cylinder problem, some worse, some just barely noticeable and some just live with it. The master cylinder fault leads to premature clutch wear, as an owner in the US was told by the dealer there after having it repaired.
