AIR BAGS
WITH ONLY 38,000 MILES ON THE CAR, THE COMPUTER BOARD CONTROLLING THE SRS SYSTEM FAILED. GIVEN HONDA'S SPOTTY REPUTATION WITH AIR BAGS FAILING TO DEPLOY, IT SEEMS TO BE A PATTERN WHEREBY THE MECHANISMS CONTROLLING THE AIR BAGS ARE FAULTY. A CIRCUIT BOARD SHOULD NOT BE FAILING WITH ONLY 38,000 MILES ON THE CAR, ESPECIALLY A HONDA.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
THE ABS WARNING LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE ABS HYDRAULIC SYSTEM HAD FAILED AND THAT REPAIRS WOULD COST OVER $700. HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE REFUSES TO TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DEFECT, ALTHOUGH IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN 1994 AND 1995 ACCORDS. WHY HASN'T NHTSA MANDATED A RECALL? THE ABS SYSTEMS ON THESE VEHICLES ARE CLEARLY DEFECTIVE. HONDA IS TRYING TO AVOID PAYING MILLIONS TO REPAIR THEIR DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS. NHTSA HAS AN OBLIGATION TO ASSIST THE DRIVING PUBLIC AND COMPEL HONDA TO REPAIR THEIR DEFECTIVE CARS. *AK

STEERING:RACK AND PINION
HONDA SAYS THEY WILL NOT COVER THE PART BECAUSE THEY SAY IT CRACKED AND THERE MIGHT BE EVIDENCE OF A HIT. BUT THE CAR HAS NEVER HAD AN ACIDENT AND HONDA SAYS THEY WILL NOT COVER THE PART. I THINK THIS POSES A SIGNIFICANT SAFTEY THREAD. AND IF ANY BODY DIES DUE TO FALURE OF THIS PART IN THE FUTURE HONDA SHOULD BE CHARGED.*AK
