haha, the rotors, the slow windows, the glove-box light, all of that bugs me too.

here is one that bugs me; when my gas gets quite low, it takes longer to start up (I believe it's because the gas drains out of the lines?)

I've also had rotor problems and slow *** windows. I also have a problem where it sometimes locks it self over and over for a period of time I don't know when it finally stops. Basically this whole car bugs me it is slow and seems to have these problems. Plus it doesn't seem to get any better gas milage than I would be getting with a LS1 Camaro that actually has some power to it.

slow windows, i dont know if any of you have noticed but on the 94 accords, mainly the lightblue/teal, the left tail pipe cover comes off. i had to drill out and retap the hole to put it back on. the horn stops working on occasion. i might go to a pimp my ride first and get a air horn and use it as my horn.

Oh yeah I had the heater **** break also I just put some glue or jb weld or something on it a few years back and it has been good since then. I thought somone must have done something to it to break it but maybe they just break.

I knew the windows were common I had no idea about the light in the glove box though.

I also have a loose wire somewhere as one of the corner light bulbs will go out and if you hit the light it comes back on for a while then will eventually go back out.

The heater **** is by far the most common problem with the Accords

The local Honda dealership here used to keep a box under the parts counter full of them so they wouldn't have to walk into the back to get them, they sale that many. One of the guys there told me that they sell about 5 a day.

Slow windows, vibrating exhaust... my gas gauge is pretty off... i can go 100+ miles on full but when it gets lower 30 can almost kill a quarter of a tank.

another thing i hate is that you have to go forward and reverse about 10 times just to do a u-turn. in my integra and civic all it took was one turn!!
