SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
ABS LIGHT CAME ON. I BROUGHT CAR TO DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE WAS A BULLETIN OUT TO RESEAL AND RETIGHTEN THE ABS MODULATOR. ABS LIGHT WAS BACK ON WITHIN 4 MONTHS. WENT BACK TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST $1400 TO FIX PROBLEM OR IGNORE IT BECAUSE THE CAR WOULD OPERATE PERFECTLY FINE WITHOUT ABS FUNCTION. LATELY THE ABS LIGHT IS COMING ON SOONER AND MORE OFTEN AND I AM HAVING TO PUMP THE BRAKE PEDAL TO KEEP IT FROM GOING TO THE FLOOR. I AM GOING TO THE DEALER TODAY, BUT I AM EXPECTING THE USUAL RUN AROUND.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
THE ABS WARNING LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE ABS HYDRAULIC SYSTEM HAD FAILED AND THAT REPAIRS WOULD COST OVER $700. HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE REFUSES TO TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DEFECT, ALTHOUGH IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN 1994 AND 1995 ACCORDS. WHY HASN'T NHTSA MANDATED A RECALL? THE ABS SYSTEMS ON THESE VEHICLES ARE CLEARLY DEFECTIVE. HONDA IS TRYING TO AVOID PAYING MILLIONS TO REPAIR THEIR DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS. NHTSA HAS AN OBLIGATION TO ASSIST THE DRIVING PUBLIC AND COMPEL HONDA TO REPAIR THEIR DEFECTIVE CARS. *AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
IN JUNE OF 1999 I GOT INTO MY 1995 HONDA ACCORD TO START IT AND THE MOMENT IT TURNED OVER THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON. I CALLED ONE OF THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIPS (ONEAL HONDA) AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO BRING MY CAR IN FOR THEM TO CHECK WHY THE ABS LIGHT WAS ON. ONEAL HONDA RAN MY CAR THROUGH SEVERAL TESTS AND AFTER 3 HRS. TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT AND THEY DID NOT KNOW WHY MY AIRBAG LIGHT WAS STAYING ON. THE MANAGER OF THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THE ONLY ALTERNATIVE WAS TO CHECK THE ELECTRICAL HARNES TO SEE IF ANYTHING SHOWED UP THERE. HE ALSO SAID THEY MAY NOT FIND A SOLUTION WITH THAT OPTION EITHER. HE WANTED TO CHARGE ME $500.00 FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION. I REFUSED TO HAVE THEM DO THE WORK.. THE FOLLOWING JULY, I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH BLUE/GRAY SMOKE COMING FROM THE EXHAUST PIPES. I HAD A SERVICE REPAIR MAIN CHECK IT OUT FOR ME . HIS FINDINGS WERE THAT IT PROBABLY HAD A CRACKED SEAL. MY CAR ONLY HAD 65000 MILES ON IT AT THAT TIME. I CALLED THE ONEAL DEALERSHIP AND TALKED TO THE SERVICE MAN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. HE SAID THAT WAS IMPOSSIBLE. HONDA'S DO NOT HAVE THOSE PROBLEMS WITH THAT LOW OF MILEAGE. NOT MORE THAN ONE YEAR LATER THE ANTI LOCK BRAKE SENSOR (ACCUMULATER) WENT OUT . I TOOK MY CAR TO JAY WOLFE HONDA TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. HE SAID THE BRAKE FLUID WAS GONE AND IT NEEDED A NEW SENSOR. I HAVE ALWAYS KEPT THE MAINTENANCE UP ON THIS CAR. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT A HONDA WITH SUCH LOW MILAGE SHOULD HAVE ALL THESE MECHANICAL FAILURES. I AM GETTING NO SATISFACTION FROM THE LOCAL DEALERSHIPS OTHER THAN A VERY EXPENSIVE QUOTES ON REPAIRS.*AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
I RECENTLY WAS A VICTIM OF A HONDA RECALL ON FRONT BALANCER SHAFT SEAL, WHICH CAUSES OIL TO BE RAPIDLY PUMPED OUT ENGINE WITHOUT WARNING, CAUSING SERIOUS ENGINE DAMAGE. I TOOK MY CAR TO EMPIRE HONDA IN DENVER,CO (303)-399-8443. AT EMPIRE HONDA THEY ADMITTED IT WAS THE HONDA RECALL THAT CAUSED ME TO ALMOST WRECK ON THE HIGHWAY. THEY STATED THAT IT WAS COVERED UNDER THE HONDA RECALL AND THEY STARTED TO MAKE REPAIRS. WHEN THEY DISCOVERED THAT I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE, THEY STATED THEY WOULD ONLY COVER 1/3 OF THE COST. WHICH IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE, BECAUSE PROBLEM NEVER WOULD HAVE OCCURRED IF IT WERE NOT FOR THE "DEFECT" IN HONDA CARS. I HAVE THE PAPERS ON THE HONDA RECALL THAT STATES HONDA IS SUPPOST TO REPLACE MY ENGINE AT NO COST (FRONT BALANCER SHAFT OIL SEAL REPLACEMENT PG. 5 "D"). I KNOW YOU HAVE ACCESS TO THESE PAPERS PLEASE LOOK AT THEM, SO YOU CAN SEE THAT I AM CORRECT. HONDA IS TRYING TO WEASEL THEIR WAY OUT OF TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE "DEFECTS" IN HONDA CARS. IF THERE IS ANY INFORMATION OR HELP THAT WOULD HELP ME IN MY FIGHT AGAINST HONDA TO MAKE THEM TAKE RESPONSIBILTY FOR THEIR DEFECTS, PLEASE CONTACT ME (303)-458-6314. IF THERE IS ANYBODY THAT CAN MAKE HONDA TAKE RESPONSIBILITY IT IS THE NHTSA.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
ABS LIGHT CAME ON 1 DAY AFTER ROUTINE SERVICE. RETURNED TO DEALER AND INFORMED THAT ABS MODULE AND ACCUMULATOR BAD (PUMP RUNNING CONSTANTLY). BLEEDING SYSTEM DIDN'T CHANGE CONDITION. COST TO EXCEED $1450.00 FOR REPAIRS. I HAVE CHECKED THE INTERNET AND HAVE FOUND MANY INSTANCES OF ABS FAILURES WITH HONDA VEHICLES, ALL IN AND AROUND 1995 MODEL VEHICLES. I FEEL THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM THAT HONDA IS AWARE OF BUT ISN'T TELLING ANYONE ABOUT, NOR ARE THEY WILLING TO ASSIST IN THE REPAIR COSTS! THE APPLICABLE WEB SITE IS WWW.CARTRACKERS.COM/FORUMS/LIVE/HONDA/32.HTML, IF YOU WISH TO CHECK MY CLAIMS OUT FOR YOURSELF. I HOPE YOU WILL INVESTIGATE THIS SITUATION!

AIR BAGS
WHEN I TURNED ON THE IGNITION THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK THE CAR TO HONDA AND THEY SAID THE COMPUTER COMPONENT IN THE AIR BAG SYSTEM WAS DEFECTIVE. IT WOULD COST $600 TO $800 DOLLARS TO REPAIR/REPLACE. I CONTACTED HONDA THREE TIMES AND THEY WOULD NOT REPAIR THE AIRBAG SYSTEM SAYING THAT ALL PARTS ON THE CAR WEAR OUT AND HAVE TO BE REPLACED AND THAT IS MY RESPONNSIBILITY. I ARGUED THAT SOMETHING LIKE A SAFETY DEVICE IN STANDBY CONDITION COULLD NOT WEAR OUT SINCE IT WAS NEVER USED. THEY PERSIST IN SAYING ALL PARTS OF A CAR WEAR OUT AND HAVE TO BE REPLACED. I NEED HELP.
