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, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:ANTI-THEFT:CONTROL MODULE
ON 8/30/02 I TOOK MY CAR TO IMMKE NW HONDA TO HAVE THE IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED DUE TO A HONDA RECALL. I LEFT THE CAR AT THE DEALER FOR THE WEEKEND BECAUSE I WENT AWAY ON A TRIP. WHEN I RETURNED SUNDAY NIGHT I HAD A VOICE-MAIL MESSAGE FROM JASON WHITE SAYING THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH COULD NOT BE REPLACED AND THAT THE CAR WOULD NOT "BE TOUCHED" BECAUSE OF THE ANTI-THEFT DEVICE THAT WAS CONNECTED TO IT. HE SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT RECONNECT THE SECURITY SYSTEM AND WOULD RATHER LEAVE IT ALONE UNTIL I AGREED TO INCUR THE COST OF RECONNECTING IT. THE FOLLOWING DAY I WENT TO PICK-UP MY CAR WITH THE IDEA THAT I'D CALL HONDA ABOUT THIS. WHEN I RETURNED HOME, I FOUND THAT THE SECURITY SYSTEM IN MY CAR HAD BEEN DISABLED AND THE IGNITION SWITH WAS NOT REPLACED. I CALLED IMMKE ABOUT THIS AND HAVE CALLED THEM SEVERAL TIMES SINCE ONLY TO GET PEOPLE BLAMING OTHERS AND NOBODY TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PROBLEM. THE SERVICE DEPT. MANAGER (TERRI NADER)DOES NOT RETURN MY CALLS. I CALLED HONDA AND THEY SAY ITS THEIR POLICY NOT TO RE-CONNECT AFTER MARKET SECURITY SYSTEMS. IN OTHER WORDS, THEY DON'T FIX THE PROBLEMS THEY CAUSE AFTER THEIR RECALL.*AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
ENGINE CHECK LIGHT CAME ON FOR THE SECOND TIME WITHIN A YEAR. THE FIRST TIME I WAS TOLD THAT THE COMPUTER WAS TOO SENSITIVE AND THEY HAD TO ORDER A NEW COMPUTER - WAIT WAS APPROX 3-4 MONTHS. THIS HAPPENED AT 3600 MILES AND WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. LESS THAN A YEAR LATER THE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT CAME ON, AND THE DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS OXYGEN SENSOR AND IT HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM IS UNRELIABLE FOR THIS TO HAPPEN WITHIN 53K MILES.*AK

I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS BY OTHERS ABOUT THE ABS MODULATOR ON THE 1994 ACCORD. I HAVE ALSO SEEN THAT THIS PROBLEM OCCURS PRIMARILY IN THE CARS MANUFACTURED AT THE OHIO PLANT (BEGINNING VIN# 1HG). THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT CORRECTIVE ACTION NEEDS TO IMMEDIATELY BE TAKEN ON. THANK YOU.*AK
