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

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY CAR WOULD NOT STOP WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO PARK IT. AS A RESULT, THE CAR DROVE OVER A SIDEWALK AND THROUGH THE FRONT WINDOW OF A BUSINESS ESTABLISHMENT CAUSING SERIOUS DAMAGE TO BOTH THE STORE AND MY VEHICLE. SOMEOME COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED. 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

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
STARTING IN SEPT. OF 2001 MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT CHANGE FROM 3RD TO 4TH GEAR. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, TOOK IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC. AFTER CHECKING IT WITH HIS COMPUTER HE FOUND NO PROBLEM, RESET THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. HE RESEARCHED THE VEHICLE AND TOLD ME THAT HONDA WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH TRANSMISSIONS WHEN IT WAS HUMID!?!?! SO I THOUGHT THAT I WOULD SEE IF IT CONTINUED TO DO THIS WHEN IT COOLED OFF. IT HAS AND IT HAS GOTTEN TO THE POINT THAT EVERY MORNING IT WILL NOT CHANGE GEARS UNTIL I HAVE DRIVEN APPROXIMATELY 1/2 MILE, STOP AND GO AGAIN. EVEN THEN SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T CHANGE.*AK

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
THIS PROBLEM HAS EXSISTED SINCE MY PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE READ AND EVEN BEEN INFORMED BY MY DEALER THAT THIS FAILURE IS COMMON TO MY MAKE MODEL AND YEAR VEHICLE. I HAVE ALSO BEEN TOLD THIS IS AT MY COST TO FIX, AND I FEEL THAT HONDA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FAULTY PART(S) NOT ME. I AM HOPING THAT ENOUGH PEOPLE WILL FILE COMPLAINTS SO THAT HONDA IS ASKED TO PERFORM A RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THIS FAILURE CAUSES A FALSE FUEL READING WHICH COULD LEAVE ME STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BECAUSE I MIGHT THINK I HAVE ENOUGH FUEL TO GO SOME WHERE AND END UP NOT HAVING ENOUGH. THIS FAILURE SHOULD BE HONDA'S COST TO FIX NOT MINE, AND MAYBE BY FILING THIS COMPLAINT ALL OF US WITH THIS PROBLEM WILL GET OUR VEHICLES RECALLED TO BE FIXED. *AK
