ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE ENGINE OIL LIGHT CAME ON AND THERE WAS SMOKE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I PULLED OVER TO A GARAGE, AND FOUND OUT THAT THE THE ENGINE OIL HAD COMPLETELY LEAKED BECAUSE OF A DEFECTIVE MAIN OIL SEAL. CONTACTED THE AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR WHO STATED THAT THEY HAVE RECALLED THE 1994 AND ONWARD MODELS BECAUSE OF THE DEFECTIVE OIL SEAL PROBLEM BUT HAVE NOT YET RECALLED THE 1993 MODEL. THE ENGINE CAN SUDDENLY SEIZE BECAUSE OF THE DEFECTIVE ENGINE BALANCE SHAFT OIL SEAL AND THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR A FIRE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT.*AK

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:HOOD:LATCH
I AM THE OWNER OF A BODYSHOP THAT REPAIRED A 1993 HONDA ACCORD WITH SOME LIGHT FRONT END DAMAGE. DURING THE COURSE OF THE REPAIR , WE NOTICED THAT THE STRIKER OF THE EXISTING HOOD WAS LOOSE. THE STRIKER IS WHAT THE LATCH HOOKS ON TO TO KEEP THE HOOD CLOSED. THE HOOD WITH THE LOOSE STRIKER WAS NOT DAMAGED IN THE CURRENT CRASH, BUT WAS REPLACED SOME TIME BEFORE. IT TURNS OUT THAT THE HOOD WAS AN AFTERMARKET HOOD NOT MADE BY HONDA. I REPLACED THE HOOD FOR THE CUSTOMER WITH A FACTORY HONDA HOOD AT NO CHARGE TO THE CUSTOMER. WOULD YOU BE INTERESTED IN INSPECTING THE AFTERMARKET HOOD? I REALIZE THIS IS A HOT TOPIC AFTER THE STATE FARM VERTICT SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. I CAN SEE NO SIGNS OF STRESS IN THE METAL WHERE THE STRIKER PULLED OUT. IT WAS NEVER CRIMPED DOWN AT THE FACTORY. THIS HOOD PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BLOWN UP ON THE HIGHWAY SOMEDAY CAUSING THE DRIVER TO BECOME BLINDED BECAUSE THE HOOD IS OVER THE WINDSHEILD. THIS IS A PRIME EXAMPLE OF WHAT CONCERNS THE BODYSHOP INDUSTRY CONCERNING AFTERMARKET PARTS. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME! JIM CHAMPION. *AK
