SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
ABS DASHBOARD LIGHT CAME ON ONE DAY, ASSOCIATED WITH A GRUMBLING NOISE FROM THE FRONT WHEELS. THE DEALER SAID THAT SOMETIMES THESE PROBLEMS WENT AWAY BY BLEEDING THE BRAKES, BUT THAT USUALLY DIDN'T WORK FOR LONG. I NOW SUSPECT THAT THE PROBLEM PROBABLY OCCURRED BEFORE WE BOUGHT THE CAR, THEY BLED THE BRAKES TO GET THE LIGHT OFF, AND IT "APPEARED" (RE-APPEARED!) AFTER I BOUGHT IT...BUT I HAVE NO PROOF OF THAT. THE DEALER WANTS $1500 TO REPLACE THE MODULATOR AND ACCUMULATOR. I'VE SINCE SEEN ENOUGH COMPLAINTS ON THIS TO SUSPECT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH HONDA ABS SYSTEMS IN GENERAL. I DO NOT BELIEVE THESE ARE "WEAROUT" COMPONENTS. *AK

TIRES
TIRE FAILED AFTER 6000 MILES (MOSTLY LOW SPEED MILES). THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF ROAD HAZARD. NO PUNCTURES IN TIRE. MANUFACTURER WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE A VALID REASON AS TO WHY THE TIRE FAILED. WITHOUT A VALID REASON AS TO WHY THE TIRE FAILED I CANNOT ALLOW MY WIFE TO DRIVE THE CAR WITH BRIDGSTONE TIRES ON IT. I HAVE PAID FOR FOUR REPLACMENT GOODYEAR TIRES. MANUFACTURER REFUSES TO TAKE THE TIRES BACK SAYING THAT THEY WILL ONLY GIVE ME ONE NEW TIRE. I HAVE KEPT THE TIRE IN CASE ANYONE NEEDED TO LOOK AT IT.*AK (DOT NUMBER: 4791OEP130 TIRESIZE: 205/65/R15)

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
DRIVING DOWN STREET AND OIL LIGHT CAME ON..PROCEEDED TO STORE AND PUT OIL IN CAR, DROVE APPROXIMATELY 10 MILES AND OIL LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. THEN I DETERMINED THAT ALL THE OIL HAD DRAINED OUT. OIL IS POURING OUT OF MY CAR FASTER THAN I CAN PUT IT IN. SEARCHING ON THE INTERNET I'VE FOUND THAT OTHER HONDA ACCORD OWNERS OF THE 1996 MODEL HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS. I EVEN NOTICED THAT ONE HAD A RECALL FOR THE DAMAGED PART. I HAVE NO RECALL AND HAVE LIVED IN THE SAME LOCATION..JUST 5 MINUTES FROM THE HONDA DEALER WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED. MY CAR IS SOAKED IN OIL FROM THE FRONT TO THE BACK..TIRES INCLUDED. I'M SURPRISED IT DIDN'T CATCH FIRE. PEOPLE NEED TO BE AWARE OF THESE DEFECTS AND SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY.*AK
