SUSPENSION:FRONT, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM, FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:TRUNK LID:LOCK
THE CAR PULLS TOWARDS THE LEFT VERY STRONGLY AND YOU NEED TO APPLY FORCE TO KEEP IT STRAIGHT. I GOT ALL OF THE WHEELS ALIGNED, BUT IT DIDN'T HAVE ANY EFFECT. THE EXHAUST SYSTEM MAKES UNNECESSARILY LOT OF NOISE, THE GAS INDICATOR DOES NOT SHOW THE FULL INDICATOR. THE TRUNK HYDRAULIC OPENING SYSTEM DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY EVEN THOUGH THE DEALER REPLACED IT UNDER TEH WARRANTY, STILL IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM. *AK

TIRES
FRONT LEFT ALLOY WHEEL CAUSES AIR TO LEAK FROM TIRE. DEALER HAS ATTEMPTED TO RE-SEAL TIRE TO ALLOY WHEEL THREE TIMES. TIRE IS NOT DEFECTIVE. DEALER RECOMMENDS WHEEL REPLACEMENT. THIS APPEARS TO BE DUE TO FAULTY DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING ON THE PART OF HONDA. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO MAINTAIN PROPER AIR PRESSURE IN THE TIRE WITHOUT REFILLING IT DAILY. DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITH INADEQUATE AIR IN THE TIRE AFFECTS HANDLING AND VEHICLE SAFETY. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT OTHER OWNERS OF '94-'95 ACCORD EX 4-CYLINDER MODELS AREN'T EXPERIENCING SIMILAR PROBLEMS. I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE ANY HELP YOU CAN OFFER. THANK YOU. *AK

#706062April 28, 1999
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
OIL SEAL/BALANCER SEAL "POPPED OFF" OF THE ENGINE. DEALERSHIP SEES 3-4 OF THESE EVERY OTHER WEEK. TECHNICIAN HAS INVENTED OIL SEAL HOLDER PART TO HOLD OIL SEAL ON BECAUSE OF THE FREQUENCY OF THIS REPAIR. HONDA WILL NOT RECALL. MY COSTS $399.87. ALL OF THE OIL LEAKS OUT OF THE ENGINE WHEN THIS OCCURS; VERY DANGEROUS TO BE DRIVING WITH THIS FAULTY PART IN SO MANY HONDA ACCORDS FROM 90-97. CONTACT CROWN HONDA IN GREENSBORO NC FOR CONFIRMATION OF FREQUENCY OF OCCURANCE OF THIS DEFECT.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN MAINTAINED & PROPERLY SERVICED. IT HAS NEVER EXPERIENCED ANY PROBLEMS. FORTUNATELY, WHEN THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED, I WAS ON MY WAY TO THE HONDA REPAIR SHOP. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS UNPREVENTABLE AND UNPREDICTABLE. I WAS TOLD THAT IF THE CAR HAD BEEN TRAVELING AT ANY FASTER SPEED, THE ENGINE WOULD HAVE SHUT DOWN, RESULTING IN THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OF DAMAGE. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT HE WAS SEEING 2-3 HONDAS PER WEEK WITH THIS PROBLEM. THIS CAR IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND APPARENTLY THERE IS NOTHING THAT COULD HAVE PREVENTED THIS INCIDENT. I FEEL THAT UNDER DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES A SERIOUS ACCIDENT COULD HAVE OCCURRED. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT HONDA NEEDS TO ADDRESS IMMEDIATELY. I AM INTERESTED TO KNOW THE HISTORY OF THIS PROBLEM AND IF I AM ENTITLED TO REIMBURSEMENT. NO SAFETY DEFECT MENTIONED IN THE SUMMARY. *AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
ABS MODULE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, BUT OWNER BELIEVES A MAJOR SAFETY FEATURE LIKE THIS SHOULD LAST THE LIFETIME OF THE CAR, ESPECIALLY WHEN REPAIRS COST $1200 OR MORE. MY MECHANIC (HONDA-TRAINED) SAID HE DID 5 ABS REPAIRS IN 3 WEEKS. WHY WAS THE ABS MODULE REDESIGNED IN 1996? PERHAPS A HIGHER -THAN- NORMAL FAILURE RATE TREND WAS NOTICED (JUST MY OPINION). PRE-1996 ACURA LEGENDS ALSO HAVE THE SAME ABS MODULE. *AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
I PURCHASED A USED HONDA FROM THE ABOVE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. IT HAD A PENDING OIL LEAK AND A DEAD BATTERY. OVER THE NEXT TWO MONTHS I HAD TO RETURN TO HAVE THE LEAK FIXED. FOR UNDER MY PURCHASE CONTRACT THE LEAK WOULD BE REPAIRED. AFTER THE FOURTH TIME RETURNING FOR AN OIL LEAK, THE DEALERSHIP(FINDLAY TOYOTA) SAID I HAD A CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK. UPON REQUEST OF WHAT WAS I SUPPOSED TO DO AND WOULD THEY HELP ME AND WOULD MY 2 YEAR WARRANTY PAY FOR IT? NO WAS THEIR REPLY. I TOOK IT TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP AND WAS ABLE TO HAVE IT EXPOSED,(YEH, RIGHT!) AND PAID FOR THAT REPAIR. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP ALSO FOUND SOME OTHER FAULTS WITH THE CAR THAT IN MY MIND SHOULD HAVE BEEN HANDLED IN "TOYOTAS POINT INSPECTION BEFORE SOLD TO THE PUBLIC." WHAT ARE MY RIGHTS? DO I NOW OWN A LEMONCAR? ITS VALUE HAS SIGNIFICANTLY FALTERED NOW DUE TO THE CRACKED BLOCK. *AK
