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

THE VEHICLE STARTED HESITATING AND PULLING VIOLENTLY FORWARD. TWICE HAVING THE VEHICLE CHECKED THE SECOND DRUM WAS DIAGNOSED AS THE PROBLEM CAUSING THE CATYLIC CONVERTER TO GO OUT. THE PROBLEM WAS PARTIALLY CORRECTED BY A INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE DEALER WAS INFORMED OF THE PROBLEM. PLEASE PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION.*JB

AIR BAGS
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM INDICATOR LIGHT ALWAYS GOES ON WHEN WE DRIVE THE CAR, WHICH MEANS THE SYSTEM HAS A PROBLEM AND WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO BENEFIT FROM THE SRS IF THERE WERE A CRASH. THE MANUFACTURERTOLD OWNERS TO HAVE THE SRS CHECKED AFTER 10 YEARS OLD OF THE CAR. MY CAR IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD AND HAS ONLY 42000 MILES ON IT. I GUESS THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS FAILURE.*AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE PROBLEM I HAVE IS THE TRANSMISSION LEAK(BLEEDING OIL) THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS TWICE @ 22500 MI & 39929 MI. THE FIRST TIME HAPPENED THE DEALER ADDED DYE AND TOLD ME TO DRIVE IT FOR A WEEK AND BRING THER CAR BACK FOR CHECK UP. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE PRESSURE HOSE IS LOOSE SO THEY TIGHTENED IT BACK THAT WAS FIND WITH ME. BUT THEN @39929MI IT HAPPEN AGAIN AND I TOOK IT BACK TO THEM AT THE DEALER IN DIAMOND BAR THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NO LEAK BECAUSE THE OIL FLIUD IS AT THE FULL LEVEL. BUT WHEN I ASKED HIM WHY IS THAT THERE ARE LOTS OF DIRT BUILD UP AROUND THE TRANSMISSION AND IT IS STILL WET(OIL MIX WITH DIRT). THEY COULD NOT GIVE ME AN ANSWER BUT JUST TOLD ME TO DRIVE THE CAR BACK AND WAIT TO SEE IF IT STILL LEAK. THIS IS SO UNPROFESSIONAL. AND ALL ALONG I DO FEEL THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT SHIFTING AS SMOOTH AS BEFORE. I KNOW THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF HONDAS OWNERS THAT HAVE TRANSMMISION PROBLEMS AS WELL. I HOPE THAT THIS COULD BE RESOLVE. PLEASE LET ME KNOW THANKS. *AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
THE ABS LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF, AND I TOOK IT TO A HONDA REPAIR PLACE AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE ABS MODULATOR/PUMP IS LEAKING. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE PART ALONE WAS $1,200.00, AND WITH LABOR IT WOULD BE $1,400.00 TO REPLACE. THAT TOO ME SOUNDS ABSURD. I CONTACTED THE HONDA DEALER, AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THIS WAS A REBUILT PART, AND HONDA DID NOT SUPPLY NEW PARTS TO REPLACE THIS FAULTY ABS MODULATOR. AT THIS POINT I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH HONDA OF AMERICA, AND I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS INDIVIDUALS ON THE WEB THAT HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR ABS MODULATORS LEAKING.... TO ME THIS IS JUST ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY FOR HONDA TO MAKE AN EXTRA BUCK ON ITS LOYAL CUSTOMERS.*AK

MY CAR WOULD NOT STOP WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO PARK IT.

THE CAR HAS BEEN FIXED, BUT I AM VERY AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. THIS HAS BEEN VERY COSTLY FOR ME IN TERMS OF MY DEDUCTABLE AND THE INCREASE IN MY INSURANCE THIS WILL CAUSE. I WAS NOT CITED FOR THE ACCIDENT AS THE POLICE DID NOT FEEL I WAS DRIVING CARELESSLY. *AK
