ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
VEHICLE NOW STALLS AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, DEALER WILL NOT REPAIR EVEN THOUGH LOW MILEAGE, HONDA IN OHIO CONTACTED, THEY WILL NOT REPAIR EITHER, LOW MILEAGE BECAUSE I AM A 100% DISABLED VETERAN. NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE MY ONLY VEHICLE AFTER IT STALLED ON THE FREEWAY AT 55MPH. ALMOST HAD COLLISSION, WAS ABLE TO GET TO SIDE OF THE ROAD AND VEHICLE RESTARTED. HOWEVER, DISTRIBUTOR MAKES A GRINDING NOISE. VEHICLE WILL SUDDENLY LOSE POWER OR STALL. DEALER STATED THAT IT IS MOST LIKELY THE DISTRIBUTOR HOUSING BEARING. A COSTLY REPAIR. EVERYONE I KNOW THAT HAS AN OLDER ACCORD HAD THIS PROBLEM. MOST HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. WHY NO RECALL !!! I LOOKED UP OVER A HUNDRED COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE ALONE. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM. THE VEHICLE WILL SUDDENLY FAIL ON THE HIGHWAY AT ANY SPEED, COULD RESULT IN DEATH. EVEN WRECKING YARDS ARE ASKING 150-180 DOLLARS FOR A USED DISTRIBUTOR HOUSING, DUE TO A HIGH DEMAND FOR THE 1991-1993 ACCORDS. DEALER KNOWS THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT USUALLY APPEARS ON THE 1990-1993 MODELS USUALLY JUST AFTER THE EXTENDED WARRENTY ENDS. CONSUMER IS FORCED TO PAY FOR COSTLY DEFECTIVE ITEMS. DISTRIBUTOR HOUSING SHOULD LAST AT LEAST 150,000-300,000 MILES. UNABLE TO AFFORD REPAIR AND STUCK AT HOME. CAN'T EVEN PICK UP NEEDED MEDICATIONS. I TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER WHEN I RECEIVED THE EXTENDED WARRENTY IN 1996, WOULDN'T REPLACE DIST HOUSING BECAUSE APPEARED NORMAL. NOW IS BAD AND WON'T FIX BECAUSE WARRENTIES ARE TOO RESTRICTIVE. PLEASE HELP. SHOULD BE A RECALL.*AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
I NOTICED THE ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM AT AROUND 7K MILES, BUT I DID NOT BELIEVE IT AT FIRST. I CHECKED THE OIL LEVEL ONCE A WEEK. THE ENGINE BURNS CLOSE TO 3/4 QUART OF OIL EVERY 1,000 MILES, BUT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP SAID IT'S FINE. I BELIEVE IT IS EXCESSIVE FOR A RELATIVELY NEW CAR, AND HONDA HAS A KNOWN REPUTATION FOR EXCELLENCE IN RELABILITY AND LOW MAINTENACE. *AK
