Yeah it was crazy what went wrong in this thing in the space of a few years before we got rid of it... Just off the top of my head:

  • Pulled too close to one of those parking dividers and the bumper barely scuffed up onto it. All the plastic attachment clips in the front bumper snapped and the bumper sagged a couple inches from there out. They quoted me something like $500 to replace some plastic clips.
  • Fuel injectors sprayed gas onto the engine block causing smoke to come out from under the hood
  • Recall on the turn signals
  • Fabric in the roof of the car bubbled up and sagged down
  • Labels on the center console (radio/climate control/etc) started peeling off
  • Lid of the center console broke
  • Glove compartment door broke
  • Stereo broke
  • Cupholders broke
  • Driver side door speaker went

There was some other stuff too but it's been a while now. My last car was an Accord that I had for many years and that thing was rock solid. I still miss it but had to sell it when I moved out of the country.
