SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK
THIS IS THE SECOND MAJOR "DEFECT" I HAVE HAD WITH THIS VECHILE. FIRST IT WAS WITH THE OIL SEAL WHICH RESULTED IN A $750.00 REPAIR AND NOW WITH THE ABS WHICH IS $1665.00. HOW ABOUT MAKING HONDA RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEFECTS THEY HAVE IN THIS CAR. I'M TIRED OF SHELLING OUT BIG BUCKS FOR THEIR MISTAKES.

#711616September 20, 1999
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
BALANCE SHAFT SEAL FAILURE LEAD TO CATASTROPHIC OIL LOSS FROM TIMING BELT COVER HOUSING. MAY BE DESIGN DEFECT IN ORIGINAL SEAL BECAUSE DEALER FIXING CAR SAID REPLACEMENT PART WAS 'LARGER' AND HE DID A STEADY BUSINESS IN REPAIRING HONDAS WITH FAILED BALANCE SHAFT SEALS. THE DEALER HAD NOT SEEN ANY FAILURES OF THE DIFFERENTLY DESIGNED REPLACEMENT PART BALANCE SHAFT SEAL. (THIS DEALER WAS IN NEW HAMPSHIRE WHERE THE SEAL FAILED.) FIXING A SHAFT SEAL FAILURE REQUIRES NEW BALANCE BELT AND NEW TIMING BELT IN ADDITION TO NEW SEAL. IF ENGINE DAMAGE HAS OCCURRED DUE TO THE SUDDEN OIL LOSS, YOU MIGHT AS WELL GIVE UP. APPARENTLY THE SEAL FAILS WITHOUT WARNING (OUR SEAL FAILED WITHIN TWO WEEKS AND 700 MILES OF A VERY MAJOR SERVICING BY THE DEALER).

#710943September 5, 1999
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
BALANCER OIL SEAL FAILED AND ALL OIL GUSHED OUT, CAUSING SATURATION OF THE TIMING BELT, BALANCING BELT AND DRIVE BELT, THE WATER PUMP AND ALL THREE OILS SEALS. HONDA DEALER REQUIRED THAT ALL THESE PARTS BE REPLACED, RESULTING IN A BILL OF $809.57. THE NHTSA CONSUMER COMPLAINT DATABASE LISTS OVER 7 RELATED COMPLAINTS FOR THE FAILURE OF OILS SEALS. I HAVE REQUESTED FROM THE DEALER THE DAMAGED PARTS, BUT HAVE NOT RECEIVED THEM. THE DEALER WAS UNAWARE OF THIS PROBLEM, ALTHOUGH THERE APPEARS TO BE A RELATED NHTSA SERVICE BULLETIN, NUMBER 961001B. THE SEAL COSTS ABOUT $12 TO $13, BUT ITS FAILURE CAN CAUSE EXTENSIVE DAMAGE AND SAFETY PROBLEMS.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
WHILE DRIVING, THE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT STARTED BLINKING. PULLING OVER THE THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY, I FOUND THE ENGINE TO HAVE NO OIL AS DETERMINED BY THE DIP STICK. INSPECTION OF THE ENGINE REVEALED THAT THE BALANCE SHAFT OIL SEAL HAD FALLEN OUT AND WAS HANGING ON THE BALANCE SHAFT. THIS SUDDEN LOSE OF ALL OIL IN THE ENGINE IN HIGHWAY TRAFFIC COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT.
