ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
COMPLETE LOSS OF OIL WHILE ON HIGHWAY - I LATER FOUND OUT THIS WAS THE FAILURE OF THE BALANCE SHAFT, WHICH HAD BEEN A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE/MODEL SINCE 1996. I HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED TO THE NEAREST REPAIR SHOP (THE DEALER WAS TOO FAR AWAY TO HAVE IT TOWED THERE). THEY DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED THE PROBLEM (ALL MY BELTS AND HOSES HAD TO BE REPLACED INCLDING TEH TIMING BELT) TO THE TUNE OF $565.45. SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT THE CAR (NEW) I HAD IT FAITHFULLY SERVICED AT THE DEALER. SINCE THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND I REGULARLY HAD MY CAR SERVICED WITH THIS HONDA DEALER, WHY DIDN'T THEY ALERT ME AND HAVE THE RESTAINING CLIP INSTALLED? THIS COST ME $565.45 AND PUT ME IN A VERY DANGEROUS POSITION ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD (TO AVOID BLOWING OUT THE ENGINE). NEEDLESS TO SAY I HAVE NOT HAD MY CAR SERVICED AT A HONDA DEALER SINCE THIS INCIDENT. I BELIEVE I DESERVE TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THIS EXPENSE BY HONDA. *AK

AC UNIT DEFECTIVE FROM THE TIME I DROVE OFF THE LOT. COMPLETE LOSS OF COOLING ANNUALLY FOR 6 CONSECUTIVE YEARS FOR A TOTAL OF SEVEN TIMES. (THE FIRST TIME WAS ON THE DAY THAT I BOUGHT IT). HONDA FINALLY REFUSED TO REPAIR IT AFTER THE WARRANTY RAN OUT, EVEN THOUGH THEY REPAIRED THE SAME PROBLEM EVERY YEAR, FOR 6 YEARS. THIS YEAR I HAD TO HAVE ANOTHER REPAIR SERVICE FIX IT AT MY OWN EXPENSE. *AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
LOOKING INTO THE TECHINCAL SERVICE BULLETIN YOU WILL SEE OVER 6 BULLETIN REPORTING THE LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID FROM THE ABS ACCUMULATOR / MOLDULATOR AREA. THIS APPEARS TO ME TO BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT, A SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL. SINCE I HAVE NEVER USED MY ABS, I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THIS SYSTEM HAS FAILED DUE TO BRAKE FLUID LEAKAGE. I FEEL THAT SINCE THE GOVERMENT PUSHED ABS AND THE MANUFACTURE CHARGES ADDITIONAL FOR THE FEATURE THE MANUFACTURE SHOULD BE HELD LIABLE FOR THE DEFECTS OF THE UNIT. THIS REPAIR IS OBNOXIOUS FOR THE TYICAL CONSUMER, COSTING ALMOST $1200.00 TO REPAIR. THIS IS ABSURB, THIS IS A SAFETY FEATURE, WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN RECALLED PREVIOUSLY? ITS TIME THAT SOMEONE STOOD UP TO THE MANUFACTURE AND EXPRESSED THAT IF THEY CHARGE ADDITIONAL FOR FEATURES OF SAFETY THEY SHOULD BE FORCED TO BACK THEM. THANK YOU. *AK
