SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
ON 2/10/03 OUR ABS LIGHT ON 1996 HONDA ACCORD CAME ON SOLID. HONDA OF OXNARD STATED THE PROBLEM WAS A LEAKY MODULATOR AND BOTH MODULATOR AND ACCUMULATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WE AUTHORIZED SERVICE AT A COST OF $1425.00. I WROTE AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO AND ASKED THEM TO PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT OR SHARE IN THE COST SINCE I RESEARCHED MANY TSB'S ON NHTSA WEBSITE INDICATING A PROBLEM WITH THE ABS ON THE 1996 HONDA ACCORD. MY CONTENTION IS THAT THEY HAD PRIOR KNOWLEDGE OF DEFECTS IN THE ABS MODULATOR AND ACCUMULATOR AND ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FAILURE OF THIS SYSTEM. ON 2/20/03 I RECEIVED A CALL FROM ANGIE OF AMERICAN HONDA CUSTOMER RELATIONS DENYING MY REQUEST.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I PURCHASE A 1998 HONDA ACCORD WITH THE INTENTIONS OF KEEPING IT FOR A LIFETIME AT 30,000 UNFORTUNATELY AT 50,000 THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO JERK WHEN YOU BEGAN TO BRAKE. IT SEEMS THE CAR DIDNT KNOW WHAT GEAR IT WAS IN. AFTER HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS ATTEMPTING TO FIND THE PROBLEM HONDA CORP. ASSURED ME THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN SUCH A PROBLEM IN ANY OF THEIR CARS AND HAD NOT HAD ANY COMPLAINTS ON ANY OF THEIR 1998 ACCORDS. THEY THEN CHARGED ME 1,500 DOLLAR FOR THE REPAIR NOT COUNTING THE HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS I PAID THEM TO SIMPLY FIND THE PROBLEM. NOW JUST 6 MONTHS LATER MY TRANSMISSION FEELS AS IF IT'S SLIPPING WHEN I PARK ON A HILL. AGAIN THEY DON'T WANT TO ADMITT TO ANY KNOWLEDGE OF ANY PAST PROBLEMS. NOW I'M SURE THEY ARE AWARE OF PAST PROBLEMS BECAUSE IT WAS EXPLAINED TO ME THE TRANSMISSION I RECEIVED 6 MONTHS AGO WAS A REPAIRED TRANSMISSION FROM ANOTHER ACCORD. WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP MYSELF????? ANYONE PLEASE HELP!

AIR BAGS, SEATS
WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED MY VEHICLE, A 2000 HONDA ACCORD COUPE EX V6, THE PASSENGER SEAT WILL NOT LOCK INTO PLACE AFTER MOVING THE SEAT FORWARD SO THAT REAR PASSENGERS CAN ENTER OR EXIT THE VEHICLE, THEREFORE POSING AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD TO FRONT PASSENGER OCCUPANTS. I HAVE TOLD MY DEALERSHIP, ED VOYLES HONDA (MIKI MULLINAX IS MY SERVICE ADVISOR) ABOUT THIS SINCE I FIRST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS "JUST NORMAL". I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW A CONDITION THAT IS POTENTIALLY SO DANGEROUS CAN BE "JUST NORMAL". ALSO, MY SRS INDICATOR HAS COME ON FOR NO PARTICULAR REASON AND I EXPLAINED THIS TO MY DEALERSHIP, AFTER LOOKING AT THE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS WEBSITE, AND THEY WERE GOING TO HAVE ME PAY A DIAGNOSTIC FEE TO SEE IF THIS WAS TRUE OR NOT. I ACTUALLY ALSO HAD AN INSTANCE OF THE FAILED MIL WHICH WAS RESOLVED BY MY DEALER YESTERDAY (HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN #00-017). PLEASE ADVISE ON THESE ISSUES. THANKS. JODY KELL PS: THE INCIDENT DATE THAT I AM USING IS THE DAY THAT I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, WHICH IS WHEN THE SEAT ISSUE FIRST BEGAN.
