ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
DISTRIBUTOR BEARINGS WERE GROUND UP. DISTRIBUTOR NEEDED REPLACEMENT. I HEARD ABOUT A POSSIBLE RECALL/REIMBURSEMENT ON THE PAT GOSS AUTOMOTIVE RADIO SHOW. PAT TOLD ME THAT THERE IS SOME TYPE OF RECALL ON HONDA DISTRIBUTORS, AND THAT HONDA DISTRIBUTORS ARE A KNOWN PROBLEM IN THE AUTOMOTIVE FIELD. I AM SUBMITTING THIS IN AN EFFORT TO BE REIMBURSED BY HONDA FOR THE REPAIRS THAT I PAID FOR. I ALSO WANT TO KNOW IF HONDA HAS REDESIGNED THEIR DISTRIBUTORS SO THAT FAILURES WILL NOT OCCOUR IN THE FUTURE. THE PAT GOSS AUTOMOTIVE IS ON FROM 11AM TO 2PM EST ON SUNDAYS. HIS PHONE NUMBER AT THAT TIME IS 1-800-636-1067 IF YOU WOULD LIKE MORE INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT HE KNOWS CONCERNING THE MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH HONDA DISTRIBUTORS. PAT TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NO MILEAGE LIMIT TO THE RECALL. I PLAN ON KEEPING THIS CAR AS LONG AS IT WILL RUN, AN WOULD ALSO LIKE TO BE ASSURED THAT ANY FUTURE REPAIRS TO THE DISTRIBUTOR WILL BE PAID FOR BY HONDA. MY CAR WAS DISABLED, SO I HAVE A TOWING BILL ASSOCIATED WITH THIS REPAIR. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!!! PLEASE CONTACT ME AFTER YOU GET THIS, SO I KNOW IT WENT THRU. THANKS! -- MIKE YOUNG
