SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
I BOUGHT MY 1996 HONDA ACCORD EX ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON, BUT THAT IT WAS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT THAT IT HAD BEEN CHECKED OUT AND NOTHING WAS WRONG. I DID SOME SEARCHING ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND OUT THAT I WASN'T THE ONLY ONE WHO HAD AN ABS LIGHT PROBLEM. I TALKED TO MY HONDA DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE WORST CASE SCENARIO WAS AN ABS MODULATOR THAT WOULD COST 1,200+. WHEN I START MY CAR IT MAKES A FUNNY NOISE FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS AND THEN MY ABS LIGHT COMES ON AND THE NOISE STOPS. IF MY ABS SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK AND I SLAM ON MY BRAKES AND THEY LOCK UP AND I HIT SOMEONE THEN I AM AT FAULT , BUT I COULD NOT HELP HITTING THEM IF MY BRAKES ARE LOCKED UP AND I AM STILL GOING. THIS COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR MAYBE EVEN DEATH. I DO NOT HAVE 1,200+ DOLLARS TO FIX THIS. THE HONDA CO. SHOULDN'T HAVE USED FAULTY PARTS. COULD YOU PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AND LET ME KNOW SOMETHING. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO MY COMPLAINT.*AK

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHEN BRAKING OR WHILE STOPPING AT STOP LIGHT THE ENGINE RACES (RPMS IN RED ZONE). MUST SLAM ON BRAKES AND SHIFT INTO PARK TO PREVENT VEHICLE FROM SURGING INTO TRAFFIC. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS--THE FIRST IN DECEMBER AND THE MOST RECENT ONE WEEK AGO. THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE IDENTICAL WITH THOSE REPORTED FOR THIS VEHICLE IN ODI ID 89408 AND ODI ID 882677. CAN YOU ADVISE HOW THOSE PROBLEMS WERE RESOLVED. AMERICAN HONDA ADVISED ME THAT THEY HAD HAD NO COMPLAINTS SIMILAR TO MINE, WHICH OBVIOUSLY IS NOT CORRECT.

AIR BAGS
THIS PROBLEM (SRS LIGHTS) STARTED WITHIN 12 MILES FROM DRIVING OFF THE DEALER LOT. WAS TOLD IT'S NORMAL-"FORGET ABOUT IT". THERE HAVE BEEN ONLY FLEETING DAYS BETWEEN THE CHRISTMAS LIGHT SHOW THE DASH LIGHTS PUT ON. IT DOES NOT INSTILL CONFIDENCE. POOR SERVIC E GUYS CAN'T FIX IT BECAUSE NOTHING WORKS. I DON'T WANT TO DRIVE A CAR WITHOUT AIRBAGS . IF I WANTED A NON-AIRBAG EQUIPED CAR, I WOULD HAVE PAID LESS FOR ONE - AN OLD ONE MOST LIKELY. I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS A HONDA PRODUCT!!!! I*AK
