AIR BAGS, POWER TRAIN
THE SRS LIGHT STAYS ON. NOT SURE IF AIRBAGS WILL WORK IN A COLLISION. DEALER WILL TRY TO FIX WITH NEW SRS CONTROL MODULES. SPEEDOMETER HEAD UNIT IS UP TO 13% OFF (DEPENDING ON SPEED) AND IS SOMEWHAT UNRESPONSIVE TO MINOR SPEED CHANGES. DISCONCERTING WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC SINCE I CAN'T VERIFY MY ACTUAL SPEED DUE TO THE SLOW TO RESPOND AND INACCURATE SPEEDOMETER UNIT READOUT. THIS LEADS TO OVERACCELERATING OR OVERDECCELERATING WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC IN AN ATTEMPT TO HOLD LOCAL SPEED ZONE LAWS. VERIFIED BY A PGM TEST AT LOCAL DEALER. NO FIX FOR THE SPEEDOMETER HEAD UNIT FOR NOW...TOLD BY HONDA CUSTOMER RELATIONS TO WAIT FOR A POSSIBLE FIX IN NOVEMBER 2000. THE DRIVER'S POWER SEAT MAKES A CLUNKING NOISE WHILE DRIVING, NOT SURE WHY. FINALLY, WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC MANY TIMES WHEN I PRESS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL THE CAR DOES NOT RESPOND VERY QUICKLY OR EVEN FALLS FLAT FOR A SECOND BEFORE IT GOES, PRETTY DISCONCERTING AT TIMES, ESPECIALLY AT INTERSECTIONS.

TIRES:TREAD/BELT
ON JULY 11, 1992 MY HUSBAND AND I WERE DRIVING EAST ON I580 IN CALIFORNIA. IT WAS A HOT DAY AT ABOUT 8:00 IN THE MORNING. THE REAR TIRE LOST IT'S TREAD CAP AND I LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS A TOTAL LOSS. I HAVE 6 PICTURES OF THE TIRE AND THE POLICE REPORT STATING IT WAS A TIRE FALIURE. MY HUSBAND WAS SERIOUSLY INJURED AND SUFFERS PARTIAL HEARING LOSS FROM THIS ACCIDENT. WE FILED A REPORT IN 1992 AND CONTACTED AN ATTORNEY WHO WAS NOT WILLING TO TAKE THE CASE ON CONTINGINCY DUE TO THE SIZE OF THE COMPANY WE WOULD BE UP AGAINST (FIRESTONE). I WAS FORCED TO DROP THE CASE AT THAT TIME. I JUST WANTED THE PROPER AUTHORITIES TO KNOW THIS HAPPEND TO OTHER VEHICLES OTHER THAN FORD. IT WAS THE TIRE, NOT THE VEHICLE. IF YOU WANT THE PICTURES AND POLICE REPORT, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. SINCERELY, JULIANA SCHIRMER( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 185-13 )

CAR DOES NOT HAVE ABS NOW. ESTIMATE TO FIX WAS $1500.00. WE FEEL THERE SHOULD BE A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON A PART SUCH AS THIS. DEALER DID NOT OFFER ANY KIND OF WARRANTY INFO.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
WHILE DRIVING, OIL LIGHT INDICATOR SUDDENLY STARTED FLASHING. PULLED OFF HIGHWAY AND PROCEEDED TO NEAREST GAS STATION. I TOLD THE GAS STATION MECHANIC THAT MY OIL LIGHT INDICATOR HAD SUDDENLY STARTED FLASHING. GAS STATION MECHANIC OPENED UP THE HOOD AND CHECKED THE OIL. DIPSTICK CAME UP DRY. ALL OIL HAD BEEN LOST. GAS STATION MECHANIC PROCEEDED TO PUT TWO QUARTS OF OIL IN VEHICLE. WHILE DOING THIS GAS STATION MECHANIC NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A MAJOR OIL LEAK. HE INFORMED ME THAT THERE HAD BEEN REPORTS OF A DEFECTIVE OIL SEAL IN 1996 HONDA ACCORDS AND HE ADVISED ME TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE NEAREST HONDA DEALERSHIP. AT THAT TIME, I CONTACTED MY INSURANCE COMPANY WHO PROVIDED TOWING SERVICES. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO ED MORSE HONDA ON US1 IN FORT LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA. I ADVISED MARK GREENE, SERVICE ATTENDANT AT ED MORSE, OF WHAT HAD HAPPENED. I ALSO TOLD HIM THAT THE GAS STATION MECHANIC HAD MENTIONED A DEFECTIVE OIL SEAL. I LEFT VEHICLE AT DEALERSHIP AND THEY PROMISED TO CALL WITH AN ESTIMATE. WHEN MR. GREEN CALLED BACK WITH THE ESTIMATE, HE INFORMED ME THAT THE OIL SEAL WOULD NOT BE COVERED BY HONDA. THE COST TO FIX THE OIL SEAL WAS $510. MR. GREENE ALSO RECOMMENDED REPLACING TIMING BELT AND WATER PUMP FOR AN ADDITIONAL $170.
