VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
OFTEN AFTER COMPLETING LONG FREEWAY DRIVE OF OVER 2HOURS IN LENGTH AND WHEN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP AFTER EXITING THE FREEWAY, ENGINE RPM SUDDENLY JUMPED TO OVER 3,000 AND VEHICLE BEGAN TO SURGE FORWARD INTO THE INTERSECTION. HAD TO EXERT EXTREME FORCE ON THE BRAKE TO KEEP THE CAR FROM ACCELERATING FORWARD. AFTER PULLING OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH THE ENGINE STILL RACING UNCONTROLLABLY, SHIFTED INTO PARK AND BEGAN TO RELEASE THE BRAKE. AS BRAKE WAS RELEASED, ENGINE RPM BEGAN TO DROP, RETURNING TO NORMAL IDLE. TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED ENGINE. PROBLEM DID NOT HAPPEND AGAIN AS DRIVE RESUMED. TOOK VEHICLE TO HONDA DEALER ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASSIONS AFTER PROBLEM HAPPENED. DEALER UNABLE TO FIND CAUSE. REPORTED PROBLEM TO HONDA MOTOR CORPORATION. THEY CLAIMED THAT HAD NO REPORTS OF SUCH PROBLEM, NO SERVICE BULLENTIN OR RECALL NOTICES ON THIS PROBLEM. NTSA WEB SITE HAS OVER A DOZEN REPORTS OF THIS PROBLEM. WILL CONTACT HONDA MOTOR CORPORATION AGAIN.*AK

#766923September 9, 2002
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
ABS LIGHT COMES ON AFTER ROUTINE SERVICE. SERVICE MECHANIC SAYS LEAKAGE AROUND SEALS OF ABS UNIT. PAID $150 TO HAVE SEALS REPLACED--MOSTLY LABOR. AFTER SERVICE, BRAKES MUSHY AND ABS LIGHT STILL COMES ON. BASED ON MECHANIC RECOMMENDATION HAD MASTER CYLINDER REPLACED AND SYSTEM BLED AGAIN. PROBLEM STILL NOT FIXED. ABS PUMP WILL WORK FOR FIRST FEW MINUTES WHILE DRIVING, BUT THEN RUNS CONSTANTLY AND QUITS, CAUSING ABS WARNING LIGHT TO COME ON AND SYSTEM TO SHUT DOWN. MECHANIC SAYS NEXT STEP IS TO REPLACE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY AT $1200+. FOR A SYSTEM THAT IS HARDLY USED, THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. IT SHOULD LAST THE LIFE OF THE CAR!*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
ABS SYSTEM NOT WORKING, TOOK TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE MODULATOR WAS LEAKING AND THAT POSSIBLY OTHER ABS COMPONENTS WERE BAD BUT THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $70 TO CHECK IT OUT. WAS QOUTED "ANYWHERE FROM $300 TO $3,000" TO FIX AND AFTER TELLING THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT I HAD READ THAT IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 95 ACCORDS, HE CONFIRMED THAT IT WAS BUT SAID "IT'S REALLY NO BIG DEAL YOU STILL HAVE REGULAR BRAKES". I BELIEVE A PROBLEM LIKE THIS SHOULD NOT OCCUR ON A CAR WITH ONLY 50,000 MILES AND HAVE READ OF MANY, MANY OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME MODEL\YEAR HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I THINK HONDA SHOULD REPAIR THE PROBLEM AT NO CHARGE SINCE IT IS AN IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURE.*AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH
I BELIEVE A FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH IS CAUSING THIS AND IT IS CURRENTLY BEING RECALLED ON MODELS 1997 AND NEWER. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THIS RECALL EXTENDED AT LEAST TO THE 1995 MODEL. MY CAR EXPERIENCES THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS. I'LL BE TRAVELING ALONG AND THE ENGINE JUST QUIETLY SHUTS DOWN. I'M AFRAID OF DRIVING IT FOR FEAR THAT THE ENGINE MIGHT QUIT WHEN I TRY TO PASS ANOTHER CAR OR MAKE A TURN AT AN INTERSECTION. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS. JASON FRITZ. *AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
ABS LIGHT CAME ON. DEALER SAYS MODULATOR IS LEAKING AND MALFUNCTIONING ALTHOUGH ABS LIGHT GOES OUT WHEN FLUID IS ADDED. I BELIEVE MODULATORS ARE BEING REPLACED WHEN THE ONLY THING WRONG IS THE LEAK. COST IS $1100 TO REPLACE. A SAFETY FEATURE SUCH AS ABS SHOULD NOT BE FAILING. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL OR FIXED AT THE MANUFACTURER'S COST.*AK
