SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE
ABS BRAKE LIGHT STAYS ON. PROBLEM HAD BEEN FIXED (SEAL REPLACEMENT) A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, 9-10-99 TO BE EXACT, BUT ABOUT A YEAR AFTER THAT REOCCURED. SINCE THEN I HAVE FILLED THE ABS RESERVOIR EACH TIME THE LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. NOW THAT DOES NOT HELP ANYMORE EITHER. THIS SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL AND I THOUGHT AT LEAST THAT THEY WOULD HAVE FIXED IT THE FIRST TIME THIS PROBLEM CAME UP. *AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE TRANSMISSION WAS ROUGH IN SHIFTING WHEN WE FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR, AND NOW THE TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED TOTALLY. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY ONE DAY AND THE TRANSMISSION ALL OF A SUDDEN SWITCHED DOWN TO FIRST GEAR WHILE I WAS GOING 55 MPH. I THOUGH THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS, SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THEY'RE TELLING ME I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. I HAVE 8OK MILES, BUT I FEEL HONDA HAS MADE A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT AND NOW I HAVE TO COME UP WITH THE MONEY FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION. *AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
ABS LIGHT ON 1996 HONDA COMES ON AFTER 1-2 MILES AFTER STARTING VEHICLE. PUMP MAKES NOISE AFTER STARTING VEHICLE. SLIGHT LEAK. A HONDA SPECIALTY SHOP HAS ALREADY REPLACED THE RESEVOIR AND TORQUED THE O-RINGS, BUT THE LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON. THE HONDA DEALER SAYS THAT THE MODULATOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACEE AT A COST OF $1100. AFTER RESEARCHING THE INTERNET THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A BIG PROBLEM FOR 94-96 HONDA ACCORDS, EXPECIALLY THOSE MANUFACTURED IN OHIO WITH THE VIN# BEGINNING WITH 1HG, WHICH MY CAR IS ONE OF THOSE VECHICLES FROM OHIO. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT WITH THIS UNIT AND THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED BY YOUR OFFICE FOR A POSSIBLE RECALL. HONDA SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM FOR THEIR COMSUMERS. PLEASE ADVISE ON ANY ACTIONS.*AK
