ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
CAME OUT OF CHURCH AND NOTICED A LINE OF FLUID GOING TO CAR. THEN DISCOVERED THAT IT WAS DRAINING OIL LIKE CRAZY. I HAD IT TOWED AND FOUND THAT IT WAS A BALANCER SEAL THAT WENT BAD. WHEN I LEFT CHURCH I FOLLOWED THE LINE OF OIL ALL THE WAY HOME WHERE IT STARTED LEAKING WHEN I WAS IDLING WHILE WAITING FOR MY FAMILY TO GET INTO THE CAR. THERE WAS NO WARNINGS OR LIGHTS. THE OIL ALL GONE WHEN I DISCOVERED THE PROBLEM. AND NOW I AM STUCK WITH $608 BILL. BUT MOST OF ALL HOW DO I KNOW THAT MY ENGINE HAS NOT BEEN DAMAMGED? WHAT KIND OF PROBLEMS WILL THIS CAUSE ME TO HAVE IN THE FUTURE?*AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
DRIVING DOWN STREET AND OIL LIGHT CAME ON..PROCEEDED TO STORE AND PUT OIL IN CAR, DROVE APPROXIMATELY 10 MILES AND OIL LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. THEN I DETERMINED THAT ALL THE OIL HAD DRAINED OUT. OIL IS POURING OUT OF MY CAR FASTER THAN I CAN PUT IT IN. SEARCHING ON THE INTERNET I'VE FOUND THAT OTHER HONDA ACCORD OWNERS OF THE 1996 MODEL HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS. I EVEN NOTICED THAT ONE HAD A RECALL FOR THE DAMAGED PART. I HAVE NO RECALL AND HAVE LIVED IN THE SAME LOCATION..JUST 5 MINUTES FROM THE HONDA DEALER WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED. MY CAR IS SOAKED IN OIL FROM THE FRONT TO THE BACK..TIRES INCLUDED. I'M SURPRISED IT DIDN'T CATCH FIRE. PEOPLE NEED TO BE AWARE OF THESE DEFECTS AND SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY.*AK

AIR BAGS
SRS LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING. TOOK TO DEALER THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG, RESET THE SYSTEM. WHILE STILL AT DEALER START THE CAR, AND THE SRS LIGHT STAYS ON. THEY TELL ME IT'S A POSSIBLE CABLE REEL PROBLEM, WHEN THEY TAKE A LOOK AT IT THERE ISN'T ANYTHING WRONG. THEY RESET THE SYSTEM, AND MADE MULTIPLE TEST DRIVES WITHOUT THE LIGHT COMING ON. NEXT TIME I START THE CAR THE LIGHT COMES ON. THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS WRONG, BUT I CAN PAY TO HAVE THE AIRBAG REPLACED, AND THE INTERNAL COMPUTER OF THE CAR REPLACED. I HAVE YET TO TAKE IT BACK SINCE THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG.*AK

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
