SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
WE RAN INTO THE BACK OF ANOTHER VEHICLE AT AN INTERSECTION. HE WAS STOPPED AND WE ATTEMPTED TO STOP. THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK AND WE CONTINUED TO ROLL INTO THE CRV. WE HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM SEVERAL TIME TO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIPS. THE PROBLEM IS THE BRAKES WILL RANDOMLY STOP WORKING EVEN THOUGH WE ARE APPLYING MAXIMUM PRESSURE, THEY WILL "CHATTER" AS THE DEALER DESCRIBED IT. THEY HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED THE CHARACTERISTIC BUT SAY WE HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT. IT SUPPOSEDLY IS A DESIGN ISSUE. THE ABS SENSES SOME WHEEL ANOMILY AND DISENGAGES THE BRAKES AND RE-ENGAGES THEM RAPIDLY BUT NOT RAPIDLY ENOUGH AND THE VEHICLE CONTIUES TO GO FORWARD. WE HAVE ROLLED THROUGH STOP SIGNS, LIGHTS, INTO INTERSECTIONS, ETC. THIS TIME INTO A VEHICLE. FORTUNATELY, WE WERE NOT HURT BUT IT ONLY A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL A MAJOR INJURY OR DEATH OCCURS. AGAIN THE DEALERSHIPS HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED THE CHARACTERISTIC BUT SAY THEY CAN DO NOTHING TO "FIX" IT BECAUSE TECHINICALLY IT IS NOT BROKEN. A TECHINICIAN SAID THE FIX IS "OFF THE RECORD" AND THEY DISCONNECT THE ABS DURING SERVICE AND DO NOT CONNECT IT AGAIN GIVING REGULAR BRAKES BACK WITHOUT THE ABS. I REQUESTED THIS TO BE DONE BUT THEY CANNOT DO IT LEAGALLY. MY INSURANCE COMPANY IS FARMERS INSURANCE AND THE AGENT WARREN ALDOUS IS LOCATED IN KEMAH/SEABROOK, TX AREA. *AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
AT APPROXIMATELY 40000 MILES THE ENGINE STARTED TO USE AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL. IT NOW TAKES AN ADDITIONAL 1.5 - 2 QTS EVERY 3000 MILES. I BELIEVE THIS IS NOT NORMAL VEHICLE OPERATION. THE MANUFACTURER CLAIMS THIS IS NORMAL OIL CONSUMPTION. I HAVE NEVER OWNED A CAR THAT USED OIL LIKE THIS. I BELIEVE THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE VALVE GUIDES OR PISTON RINGS.

SUSPENSION
THE VEHICLE STARTS VIBRATING AND SHIMMEING AT ABOUT 60 MPH. IT FEELS SIMILAR TO A TIRE BEING OUT OF BALANCE OR LIKE THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF ALIGNMENT. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER HAS INSTALLED NEW WHEELS, NEW TIRES, NEW SUSPENSION BUT THE SHIMMIEING HAS BEEN WORST THAN DAY ONE! THE DEALERSHIP SAYS "SO IT SHIMMIE'S SO WHAT?" THE MANUFACTURER SAYS "ACCORDING TO OUR DEALER, THE CAR IS OK, SO YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY CASE. WE HAVE DONE ALL WE CAN." IT SEEMS TO ME LIKE THE CAR WOULD BE A DANGER TO DRIVE IN HAZARDOUS WINTER CONDITIONS IF IT SHIMMIES THIS BAD. THE CAR IS SO BAD THAT THE DEALERSHIP SALES MANAGER OFFERED ME TO "BUY IT BACK AS A LOW VALUE TRADE-IN CAR AS A FAVOR TO ME." THE SAME DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS CALLING THIS CAR TO BE IN GOOD CONDITION. THE CAR HAS BEEN WITH DEALERSHIP AND MANUFACTURER FOR ABOUT 7 TIMES SO FAR. THEY BOTH REFUSE TO EVEN TAKE A LOOK AT THE PROBLEM ANY MORE. WHAT CAN I DO NOW FOR THE LEMON? PLEASE HELP.
