SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
THIS IS MY SECOND "MAJOR" DEFECT WITH MY 1994 HONDA. THE FIRST WAS AN OIL SEAL WHICH HONDA A YEAR LATER HAD A RECALL ON. I HAVE NOW HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE ABS BRAKES. I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS AND GOT NUMEROUS ANSWERS ON WHY THE LIGHT KEPT COMING ON. NOW ALMOST TWO YEARS LATER THEY TELL ME I NEED A WHOLE NEW SYSTEM WHICH IS GOING TO COST $1300.00. TO ME THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN YOUR BRAKES ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THIS SHOULD BE A HONDA RECALL. SEVERAL TIMES WHEN I WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME YEAR CAR HAVE COME IN WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND WERE TOLD THE SAME ANSWERS. HONDA SHOULD BE MADE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS DEFECT.*AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
THE IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM HAS SHUTDOWN THE VEHICLE 3 TIMES. THE FIRST TIME WAS IN SEPTEMBER APPROXIMATELY 1 WEEK AFTER PURCHASE. THE SECOND AND THIRD TIMES WERE ON OCTOBER 14. WHILE DRIVING NORTHBOUND ON 95 ON OCT. 14TH THE IMMOBILIZER LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ENGINE SHUTDOWN CREATING A VERY HAZARDOUS SITUATIION FOR ME AND OTHER DRIVERS. THE IMMOBILIZER ACTIVATED AGAIN, THIS TIME WHILE ON THE CAPITAL BELTWAY. ON THIS OCCASION I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BY AN 18 WHEELER. THE VERY FIRST TIME THE IMMOBILIZER ACTIVATED IT WAS APPROXIMATELY ONE WEEK AFTER PURCHASE. THE MECHANICS AT POHANKA ADVISED THEY COULD FIND NO PROBLEM BUT, THAT THEY HAVE SEEN THIS PROBLEM MANY TIMES BEFORE. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP AND THEY ARE RUNNING DIAGNOSTICS, BUT I ASSUME NOTHING WILL BE FOUND THIS TIME EITHER. I HAVE TALKED TO OTHER HONDA OWNERS AND SEVERAL OF THEM HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM. I BELIEVE SOMETHING IS DRASTICALLY WRONG WITH THE IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM AND IS CREATING A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. *AK
