1992 Honda Accord Problems & Complaints

1992 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ENGINE PROBLEMS. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE HAD MULTIPLE FAILURES AND STALLED WHILE BEING DRIVEN. THE CONSUMER STATED THE FUEL SYSTEM, ABS SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER STEERING, AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILED. THE CONSUMER STATED THE RECALL REPAIRS NEED TO BE COMPLETED. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1992 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HER SON WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO HER RESIDENCE HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE HAS FAILED TO RESTART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WAS COVERED IN GASOLINE. THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED OIL DILUTION. THE CONTACT HAD NOT TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 300,000.

THE CAR WILL NOT GO INTO DRIVE. IT MAKES A HORRIBLE NOISE LIKE SOMETHING IS FALLING OUT UNDER THE HOOD AND WILL GO INTO REVERSE AND ALL OTHE GEARS BUT NOT DRIVE.

HORN IS DESIGNED POORLY WHICH HAS CAUSED SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS BECAUSE I WAS UNABLE TO HONK MY HORN AT A CRUCIAL TIME. INSTEAD OF BEING ABLE TO PRESS THE CENTER OF THE STEERING WHEEL TO HONK THE HORN, THERE ARE TWO SMALL BUTTONS AT THE 9 AND 3 POSITION THAT APPEAR TO BE POSITIONED TO PRESS WITH YOUR THUMB- IF YOUR HANDS ARE AT THE 9 & 3 POSITION. IN AN EMERGENT SITUATION, THE FIRST INCLINATION IS TO HIT THE MIDDLE OF THE STEERING WHEEL TO ACTIVATE THE HORN, NOT TO SEARCH FOR EITHER OF THE TWO LITTLE HORN BUTTONS. IN THE LATEST INCIDENT, I HAD THE RIGHT OF WAY ON A LEFT TURN ARROW, A CAR GOING STRAIGHT WENT THROUGH THE RED LIGHT AND NEARLY BROADSIDED ME. I WAS POUNDING ALL OVER THE STEERING WHEEL BECAUSE I COULDN'T FIND THE HORN. *TR

I AM THE SECOND OWNER OF THE 1992 HONDA ACCORD. I HAVE EXPERIENCED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE ON THIS VEHICLE THAT WILL GENERALLY REQUIRE OVERHAUL OR REPLACEMENT OF THE TRANSMISSION. AFTER SEVERAL ON-LINE RESEARCHES ON HONDA ACCORDS 1990 TO DATE, I FIND NUMEROUS PROBLEMS, I.E., ACCELERATION FAILURE. WHEN ENGINE GETS HOT, THE CAR HAS ACCELERATION FAILURE. EVEN FURTHER RESEARCH REVEALS ?CERTIFIED TRANSMISSION MECHANICS REVEALED THAT THIS KNOWN PREMATURE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE IS DUE TO AN ENGINEERING DESIGN FLAW. IN ADDITION, ?THIS DESIGN FLAW CONSISTS OF THE HONDA ACCORD AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION NOT HAVING OUTSIDE ACCESS TO THE METAL SCREEN INTERNAL TRANSMISSION FILTER WHICH BECOMES CLOGGED WITH GUNK AND METAL SHAVINGS, THUS STARVING THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH CAUSES OVERHEATING, AND FURTHER DETERIORATION AND PREMATURE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE.? THERE IS NO WAY TO GAIN ACCESS TO THE METAL AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FILTER BECAUSE THERE IS NO TRANSMISSION PAN TO UNBOLT AND ALLOW ACCESS. COMPLETE DISASSEMBLE OF THE TRANSMISSION IS REQUIRED. THIS SERIOUS TRANSMISSION PROBLEM WILL BE REPORTED TO THE U.S. GOVERNMENT NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION (NHTSA) DECLARING THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

THE CAR IS GOT SOME ELECTRICAL SHORTS IN THE WIRE MY MAINTENANCE SAID, AND NOW IT HAS A PROBLEM SHIFTING INTO ALL THE GEARS, IT STALLS WHEN YOU GO TO TAKE OFF, IT DON'T SEEM LIKE IT HAS ANY POWER BEHIND IT. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME YOU GO TO TAKE OFF IT STALLS. *TR

ABS LITE CAME ON,I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS ANY WARRANTY ON THIS. *TR

A FAULTY TRANSMISSION CONTROL UNIT, CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO AT RANDOM SHIFT IN TO AN IMPROPER GEAR OR INTO NEUTRAL AT OR DURING TAKE OFF FROM STOP. THIS RESULTED IN LOSS OF POWER WHEN TRYING TO JOIN TRAFFIC, OR ONCE ALREADY IN TRAFFIC. TCU WOULD ALSO FAIL TO LOCK OR UNLOCK T/C WHEN IT WAS DESIGNED TO. ON ONE OCCASION THE TCU LOCKED THE T/C AT A STOP LIGHT, STALLING THE ENGINE IN TRAFFIC. TCU FAILED TO ALERT THE DRIVER OF A PROBLEM THROUGH THE D4 OR CHECK ENGINE LAMPS, AND PRODUCED NON EXISTENT CODES WHEN PUT INTO DIAGNOSTIC MODE. *TR

FRONT LEFT SEAT BELT WAS BUCKLED IN, MAKING AUDIBLE CLICK, AND TURNING OFF INDICATOR LAMP ON DASH BOARD. WHILE DRIVING THE SEAT BELT POPPED OUT OF ITS LATCH. AT NO POINT DURING THE DRIVE DID ANY LAMP OR CHIME WARN THE SEAT BELT WAS NOT FULLY LATCHED. CAUSE FOR CONCERN, SEEING NUMEROUS OTHER REPORTS OF PEOPLE BEING INJURED OR KILLED BY SEAT BELTS OF THESE CARS FAILING IN CRASHES. *TR

PAINT CLEAR COAT PEELING MANUFACTURE DENIES FAULT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS BRIDGE-STONE POTENZA G109 TIRES, SIZE 195/65/R15 EQUIPPED ON A 1992 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE EXAMINING THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE THE CONTACT NOTICED SEVERAL CUTS ALONG THE SIDE WALL OF THE TIRE. THE TIRE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TIRE WAS REPLACED HOWEVER, TWO MONTHS AFTER THE REPLACEMENT THE CONTACT NOTICED HAT THE FAILURE HAD RECURRED. THE CURRENT AND THE FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 10,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL- THE CONTACT OWNS A 1992 HONDA ACCORD. WHEN SHE ATTEMPTED TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, THE VEHICLE THAT HAD THE RIGHT OF WAY WASNT ABLE TO STOP AND CRASHED INTO HER VEHICLE LEFT SIDE CAUSING THE VEHICLE TURNED SEVERAL TIMES THE VEHICLE STOPPED WHEN IT CRASHED HEAD INTO THE OTHER VEHICLE FRONT END, AND THE DRIVER FRONTAL AIR BAG DIDNT DEPLOYED. SHE RECEIVED INJURIES TO THE CHEST, NECK, KNEE, AND BACK. THE POLICE REPORT INFORMATION, AND THE VIN, WASNT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 300,000. LI

1992 HONDA ACCORD WITH MOTOR SEAL RECALL DOWNGRADED TO BULLETIN. CONSUMER STATES THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL SENT TO HER ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. SHE STATES SHE LOST ALL POWER TO VEHICLE DUE TO THIS RECALL AND HAD NO TRANSPORTATION. *KB

1992 HONDA ACCORD WITH DIFFICULT STEERING. CONSUMER STATES THAT A MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS MISSING 2 MOUNTING BOLTS FROM THE STEERING RACK. CONSUMER HAD THE BOLTS REPLACED. *KB

THE LOCKING MECHANISM IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR ON MY 92 HONDA ACCORD IS BROKEN AND WILL NOT ALLOW THE DOOR TO OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR THE OUTSIDE. I CONSIDER THIS TO BE A SAFETY CONCERN. IN ORDER TO GET OUT OF MY CAR, I HAVE TO CRAWL/CLIMB TO THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR AND EXIT THE CAR THAT WAY. IF I NEEDED TO EXIT MY CAR IN AN EMERGENCY, SAY A FIRE IN MY CAR, IT WOULD TAKE ME MORE TIME TO GET INTO THE PASSENGER SEAT AND THEN EXIT THE CAR THAN IF I COULD JUST OPEN MY DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER AND CONSIDER THIS AS A RECALL. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND HAVE SEEN SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE. I CONTACTED HONDA ABOUT GETTING THIS REPAIRED AND IT WOULD COST $250+ FOR THE PART AND THEN LABOR WOULD BE $72 PER HOUR AND IT WOULD TAKE 2.5 HOURS TO FIX IT. THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE MY LOCAL TAXES. THIS MAY NOT SEEM LIKE IT IS TOO MUCH TO GET IT FIXED BUT FOR A GUY WITH A FAMILY OF 5 AND ONLY ONE INCOME, IT IS ALLOT OF MONEY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY IN MVC WITH EXTENSIVE FRONT END DAMAGE. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED TWO OUT OF A SET OF FOUR TIRES HAVE FAILED DUE TO TREAD SEPARATION. THE CONTACT REPORTS HAVING NO STEERING PROBLEMS OR WARNINGS PRIOR TO TIRE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER OF THE TIRES IS COOPER. THE MODEL IS WEATHER MASTER XGR. THE TIRE SIZE IS P19565R14. *AK

D4 LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON FOR 10 MINUTES. TRANSMISSION HUNTS FOR GEARS AT CRUISING SPEEDS WITHOUT WARNING, OFTEN LANDING NO GEAR, CAUSING A SCARY SCENARIO. A WEB SEARCH REVEALED THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS BY 1989 TO 1993 OWNERS OF THAT MODEL HONDA ACCORD WHO ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. IT IS SUPPOSEDLY A FAILURE OF THE TRANSMISSION COMPUTER. HONDA DEALERS HAVE NO SAFETY OR MAINTENANCE RECALL/BULLETIN ON THIS ISSUE. THEY OFFER TO REPLACE THE TCM (GUESS THAT IS THE COMPUTER) FOR $570.00 PLUS LABOR! SEVERAL HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF THESE YEARS' MODELS WERE SOLD AND ARE ON THE ROAD. IF A COMPUTER FAILURE PUTS THE DRIVER AND THE TRAFFIC AT DANGER BECAUSE THE CAR CHOOSES A DIFFERENT GEAR OR NO GEAR, THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD FIX THE DAMAGED COMPUTER COMPONENT OR WHATEVER THE FAILED COMPONENT. SINCE SUCH SHEER NUMBERS ARE INVOLVED THE NHTSA SHOULD INVESTIGATE THE MATTER INDEPENDENTLY. *JB

RE; TIRE BLOW OUT FR690 P 195/65R15.*BF TWO OF THE FOUR TIRES HAD BUBBLES PROTRUDING FROM THE SIDES AND THE FOURTH TIRE APPEARED TO BE FINE. *JB

1992 HONDA ACCORD EX WITH 149380 MILES. TRAVELING ALONG HIGHWAY AT 60 MPG AT 0545 IN THE MORNING CAR THEN DIES IN TRAFFIC. ABLE TO COAST TO THE RIGHT AND STOPPED UNTIL WRECKER SHOWED UP.

REPLACED WIRES, COIL, IGNITION,BREATHER TUBE. I WAS LUCKY. I NOTICED SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE HAD THE SAME ISSUE SO I'LL VOICE MY CONCERN ABOUT THE 92 COIL/IGNITION FIRES ON-LINE. USED PARTS WERE BURNED. 92 HONDA IS A GREAT CAR EXCEPT WITH THIS ISSUE. *JB

WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH, THROUGH BRISK WIND, THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE DISENGAGED, CAUSING THE HOOD TO BREAK THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. *AK

WHILE DRIVING , THE VEHICLE STALLED. WHEN THIS OCCURRED THE VEHICLE LOST POWER, BUT THE CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT WITHIN A FEW MINUTES. SEVERAL DIAGNOSTIC TEST WERE DONE BUT NO FAILURE CODE WAS FOUND. JB THERE WAS A BAD DISTRIBUTOR, SEAT BELT FAILURE AND AN INOPERATIVE AIR BAG. *SC

CONSUMER STATED THAT WHEN IT WAS WARM AND HUMID VEHICLE DID NOT START. DEALER FOUND THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG. *AK

BRAKE SERVICE ON 1992 HONDA ACCORD.*MR THE CONSUMER PAID OVER $400 TO HAVE THE CALIPERS AND FRONT BRAKE PADS REPLACED. THE SERVICE WAS COMPLETE AND THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN THE CONSUMER INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE STILL DIDN'T STOP CORRECTLY. THE DEALER THEN INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED REAR BRAKE PADS. THE CONSUMER ASKED FOR A REFUND, SINCE THE VEHICLE STILL WASN'T FIXED, BUT WAS DENIED *NM

THE BRAKES FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE WHEN THE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED WHILE DRIVING AT 25 MPH. THE VEHICLE STOPPED WHEN IT HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. *AK *MR

WHILE DRIVING AT 5 MPH AND TURNING INTO A PARKING AREA, WHEEL AND TIRE FELL OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER, AND THE MECHANIC INDICATED THAT THE LOWER BALL JOINT BROKE. *AK AS A RESULT THE RIGHT AXLE HAD GONE OUT WITH IT. THERE WAS NO WARNING. THE TIRES WORE FINE. HONDA WAS NEVER ABLE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE ABS WARNING LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE 1/2 MILE ALONG WITH NOISE. HONDA SUGGESTED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS FINE. *SC

WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH ANTI LOCK BRAKES LOCKED UP. THIS CAUSED VEHICLE TO SKID WHICH RESULTED IN A COLLISION. *AK

I USED TO OWN A FIREBIRD, BUT I HAD TO TRADE IT IN FOR A BIGGER CAR CAUSE MY 2 YEAR OLD WAS GETTING TO BIG FOR THE BACK SEAT. I FOUND THIS CAR PLACE AND WENT IN AND MET WITH THE OWNER, TOLD HIM I DIDN'T WANT A PIECE OF CRAP CAR BECAUSE I HAVE A DAUGHTER TO LOOK OUT FOR, SINCE I HAVE HAD THE CAR IT HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT MONEY AND PROBLEMS. THE CAR I TRADED IN FOR HAD NO PROBLEMS. HE HAD TOLD ME THAT THE CAR WAS IN GREAT SHAPE, IT HAD NEW TIRES, AND BRAKES, AND IT RUNS GREAT. SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE MUFFLER, NEW TIRES, NEW BRAKES, DEFROSTER DOES NOT WORK, NEED A RADIATOR, I'M A SINGLE PARENT WITH LOW INCOME I CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX THE CAR EVERYTIME SOMETHING GOES WRONG.

THIS IS THE SECOND OF A SET OF FOUR TIRES BOUGHT AT COSTCO JAN99. LAST INCIDENCE OCCURED 13 MONTHS AGO WITH VERY SIMILAR DAMAGE. I WAS ON STREET BEHIND MIDDAY TRAFFIC WHEN I FELT THE TIRE GAVE IN - I DID NOT RUN OVER OR HIT ANYTHING, NOR DID I RUN UNDER PRESSURE AS MICHELIN CUSTOMER RELATION TRIED TO TELL ME. I HAVE METICULOUS RECORDS OF MY CAR AND (THOUGH I DO NOT WASH IT REGULARILY) I CONTINUOUSLY INSPECT IT. THE SIDEWALL SHREDDED AS IF A BEAR HIT THEM AND THEY SEPARTATED INTERNALLY FROM THE RADIALS (MEANING THEY PEALED INSIDE AWAY FROM EACH OTHER).

ENGINE WILL NOT START (EVEN TURN OVER) WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IN THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR GETS TOO HOT. THIS OCCURS ON ALL HOT DAYS. I CURRENTLY HAVE TO LEAVE ALL THE WINDOWS COMPLETELY DOWN, THE SUNROOF CRACKED (HOT AIR RISES), AND MY SILVER SUNSHADE ON THE OUTSIDE OF MY WINDSHIELD SO THAT NO SUN CAN EVEN PENETRATE THE WINDSHIELD GLASS. IF I DON'T DO THIS, I WILL BE STUCK WHERE EVER I'M PARKED UNTIL SUN DOWN. IF CAR WON'T START, I HAVE TO OPEN ALL DOORS INCLUDING HATCHBACK AND WAIT FOR INTERIOR CABIN TEMPERATURE TO COOL DOWN. *JB

I PURCHASED SEARS VOYAGER LX ROAD HANDLER P195/60 R15 RADIAL TIRES FOR MY HONDA ACCORD AS REPLACEMENTS FOR THE ORIGINALS AND THE SIDEWALLS HAVE BLOWN OUT ON 2 OF THE TIRES AFTER 55,000 MILES.

MY HUSBAND AND I PURCHASED TIRES FROM NTB IN MARCH 2000 AND IN JUNE 2000, TWO TIRES WERE REPLACED BECAUSE THEY WERE DEFECTIVE. NOW, WE ARE FACED WITH DEFECTIVE TIRES AGAIN (THE TREAD IS SEPARATING FROM THE STEEL BELTS). MY HUSBAND RETURNED TO NTB TODAY TO BE TOLD THAT IT WOULD COST HIM $100 TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE TIRES (I.E., THE COST OF THE TIRES, BALANCING, STEM, LABOR, ETC., MINUS A CREDIT FOR TIRE WEAR. THESE TIRES HAVE A 35,000 MILE WARRANTY AND WE APPARENTLY HAVE USED THEM FOR 23,000 MILES. THIS IS NTB'S STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE). THESE ARE NOT FIRESTONE TIRES, BUT FORMULA GT TIRES (WE ARE ATTEMPTING TO DETERMINE THE MANUFACTURER OF THE TIRE). WE ARE DISGUSTED WITH NTB. THEY SHOW A COMPLETE DISREGARD FOR CONSUMER SAFETY. THIS IS AMAZING IN LIGHT OF THE CURRENT SITUATION WITH FIRESTONE. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED WE FOUGHT WITH THEM IN ORDER TO GET THE TIRES REPLACED WITHOUT COST. OF COURSE, WE STILL HAD TO PAY FOR THE ALIGNMENT. TODAY THEY WERE ABSURD. MY HUSBAND TRIED TO CONTACT SEARS WHILE HE WAS IN NTB, BUT THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT MERELY PLACED HIM BACK IN TOUCH WITH THE STORE MANAGER WHO MAINTAINED HIS POSITION. MOST BUSINESS' WOULD RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEM AND TAKE CARE OF THE CUSTOMER WITHOUT QUESTION. FROM A BUSINESS STANDPOINT, IT IS MORE COST EFFECTIVE TO KEEP AN EXISTING CUSTOMER THAN TO ATTRACT A NEW ONE. I'M SURE THE MARKETING DEPARTMENT SPENDS A LOT MORE THAN $100.00 TO ATTRACT CUSTOMERS TO ITS STORES. MY HUSBAND IS IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO REACH THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT AND THE MANUFACTURER OF THE TIRE. WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR ANYTHING UNREASONABLE. WE SIMPLY WANT THE DEFECTIVE TIRES REMOVED FROM THE CAR AND NEW TIRES OF EQUAL TO OR BETTER QUALITY PLACED ON THE CAR WITHOUT FURTHER COST TO OURSELVES. WE ARE TIRED OF DEALING WITH THESE PEOPLE AND THEIR POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE AND COMPLETE DISREGARD FOR OUR PERSONAL SAFETY WHILE DRIVING ON A PRODUCT THEY SELL. WE THOUGHT THAT YOU WOULD BE INTERESTED TO KNOW THAT.

INSIDE FRONT DOOR HANDLES (BOTH SIDES) PLASTIC SHROUD HANDLE HOUSINGS SHATTERED MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO OPEN DOORS FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THIS IS AN LX MODEL WITH STD. POWER WINDOWS. IN THE EVENT OF POWER LOSS (BATTERY) IT WOULD MAKE IT IMPOSSABLE TO EXIT VEHICLE, BECAUSE WINDOWS COULD NOT BE PUT DOWN TO USE OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLES.*AK

TROUBLE TURNING IGNITION WITH THE KEY. HAS HAD CHARGING SYSTEM CHECKED, HAVE TO MAKE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS BEFORE CAR WILL START HAVE ON A PREVIOUS OCCASION TAKEN IT TO PIEDMONT HONDA, ANDERSON, SC UNABLE TO GET ANY SERVICE OR A CHECK OF THE VEHICLE. THE DOOR OPENING HANDLE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT DOOR HAS BROKEN REPEATEDLY HAS BEEN REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES THIS IS A COSTLY REPLACEMENT THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED BY THE MANUFACTURER. THE THERMOSTAT KNOB CRACKS REPEATEDLY THIS ALSO HAS BEEN REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES. MANUFACTURER NEED TO MAKE A BETTER KNOB.*AK

WHILE SITTING AT A LIGHT DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. THERE WAS SMOKE EVERY WHERE. CONSUMER WAS HIT IN THE CHEST. THERE WAS ONLY ONE AIRBAG AND IT'S ON DRIVER'S SIDE.*AK THE MANUFACTURER AND THE INSURANCE COMPANY REFUSED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. *YH

THE OIL SEAL FAILED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE TRAVELING. ALL OF THE OIL IN CAR DRAINED OUT. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A SERVICE STATION WHERE I HAD THE OIL SEAL REPLACED, AS WELL AS THE TIMING BELT AS A RESULT OF OIL SATURATION ON THE BELT. I CONTACTED, HONDA ON SEPTEMBER 21, 2000 , BECAUSE A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR 93-95 ACCORDS AS A RESULT OF AN OIL SEAL PROBLEM. HONDA'S CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE INFORMED ME THAT THE RECALL DID NOT APPLY TO MY MODEL YEAR. I UNDERSTAND THAT TSB 9610001B RELATES TO THIS PROBLEM ON 1992 HONDA ACCORDS AND WISH TO REPORT THIS FAILURE AND HONDA'S INACTION IN RESPONSE TO NHTSA.

ABS BRAKE PUMP IS DEFECTIVE. *AK THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THE BRAKES STILL WORK WITHOUT ABS. *YH

ABS LIGHT CAME ON, WOULD NOT GO OFF. DEALER SAID THE ABS PUMP WAS BAD AND THAT THEY HAVE ONLY HAD TO REPLACE THEM ON WRECKED VEHICHLES AND HAVE NEVER HEARD OF ONE BEING REPLACED OTHERWISE. CAR DOES NOT HAVE ABS NOW. ESTIMATE TO FIX WAS $1500.00. WE FEEL THERE SHOULD BE A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON A PART SUCH AS THIS. DEALER DID NOT OFFER ANY KIND OF WARRANTY INFO. DEALER IS A CERTIFIED HONDA DEALER.

AFTER FASTENING YOUR SEAT BELT AND HEARING A 'CLICK' TO CONFIRM IT THAT IT IS FASTENED, IT HAS COME 'UNLOCKED' ON IT'S OWN. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES! IT DOES OCCUR ON BOTH SIDES; DRIVER AND PASSENGER. I DO NOT KNOW IF IT OCCURS IN THE BACK SEAT. I RARELY CARRY PASSENGERS BACK THERE..

BOTH THE SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER OFTEN CONFLICT ONE ANOTHER MAKING ACTUAL VEHICLE SPEED IMPOSSIBLE TO KNOW WITH ANY CERTAINTY. SOMETIMES THE TACHOMETER WILL READ CORRECTLY COMPARED WITH PREVIOUS TACHOMETER READINGS AT CERTAIN SPEEDS BUT THE READING IS USUALLY ERRATIC. THE SPEEDOMETER HAS ALSO BEEN SEEN TO JUMP AVOUT 5 MPH WHEN CRUISING AT A STEADY PACE AND THE SPEEDOMETER WILL CONTINUE TO READ INCORRECTLY. UPON FOLLOWING A FRIEND AND CONSULTING ABOUT THE SPEED DRIVEN, I FIND THAT THE SPEEDOMETER OFTEN STATED THAT I WAS DRIVING 5 OR 10 MPH LESS THAN THE READING SHOWN ON THE SPEEDOMETER.

CAR RUNS AND THEN IT STALLS. CONSUMER HAS TO STARTED IT BACK UP. THEN, SOMETIMES IT SHAKES AND SHIMMIES. TOOK TO DEALER WHO REPLACED STARTER RELAY.

VEHICLE NOW STALLS AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, DEALER WILL NOT REPAIR EVEN THOUGH LOW MILEAGE, HONDA IN OHIO CONTACTED, THEY WILL NOT REPAIR EITHER, LOW MILEAGE BECAUSE I AM A 100% DISABLED VETERAN. NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE MY ONLY VEHICLE AFTER IT STALLED ON THE FREEWAY AT 55MPH. ALMOST HAD COLLISSION, WAS ABLE TO GET TO SIDE OF THE ROAD AND VEHICLE RESTARTED. HOWEVER, DISTRIBUTOR MAKES A GRINDING NOISE. VEHICLE WILL SUDDENLY LOSE POWER OR STALL. DEALER STATED THAT IT IS MOST LIKELY THE DISTRIBUTOR HOUSING BEARING. A COSTLY REPAIR. EVERYONE I KNOW THAT HAS AN OLDER ACCORD HAD THIS PROBLEM. MOST HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. WHY NO RECALL !!! I LOOKED UP OVER A HUNDRED COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE ALONE. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM. THE VEHICLE WILL SUDDENLY FAIL ON THE HIGHWAY AT ANY SPEED, COULD RESULT IN DEATH. EVEN WRECKING YARDS ARE ASKING 150-180 DOLLARS FOR A USED DISTRIBUTOR HOUSING, DUE TO A HIGH DEMAND FOR THE 1991-1993 ACCORDS. DEALER KNOWS THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT USUALLY APPEARS ON THE 1990-1993 MODELS USUALLY JUST AFTER THE EXTENDED WARRENTY ENDS. CONSUMER IS FORCED TO PAY FOR COSTLY DEFECTIVE ITEMS. DISTRIBUTOR HOUSING SHOULD LAST AT LEAST 150,000-300,000 MILES. UNABLE TO AFFORD REPAIR AND STUCK AT HOME. CAN'T EVEN PICK UP NEEDED MEDICATIONS. I TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER WHEN I RECEIVED THE EXTENDED WARRENTY IN 1996, WOULDN'T REPLACE DIST HOUSING BECAUSE APPEARED NORMAL. NOW IS BAD AND WON'T FIX BECAUSE WARRENTIES ARE TOO RESTRICTIVE. PLEASE HELP. SHOULD BE A RECALL.*AK

CONCERNS WITH ENGINE HESITATION OR STUMBLE CAN BE FELT UNDER LIGHT ACCELERATION BETWEEN 1500 AND 2000 RPM. DEALER SAYS THAT THE DISTRIBUTOR IS "BAD."

I DO NOT REMEMBER THE EXACT DATE OR MILEAGE BUT AM FAIRLY CLOSE. I WAS TOLD BY SIMS THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH '92 ACCORDS--THE DOOR LATCH REFUSES TO OPEN AND HAS TO BE DRILLED COSTING $520. I WAS CARRYING A 5 GAL CAN OF GAS THAT I HEARD TIP IN THE TRUNK. I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT AND WENT TO HOP OUT FAST TO CHECK BUT COULD NOT GET OUT. I CALLED HONDA AGAIN AND ASKED IF THERE WAS A RECALL. AGAIN THEY SAID I WOULD HAVE TO PAY AND IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM. I HAVE INJURED MY KNEES AND DISC TRYING TO GET IN AND OUT. I CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY FOR THIS AND IT IS DANGEROUS. IF IT WEREN'T A COMMON PROBLEM, I WOULD NOT SAY ANYTHING, BUT IF IT IS COMMON, SOMETHING SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE ABOUT IT, DON'T YOU THINK?*AK

CLEANING OUT MY GLOVE COMPARTMENT, AFTER THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED, I FOUND A HONDA WARRENTY EXTENSION FOR DISTRIBUTOR ASSEMBLY. MY FIRST FAILURE OCCURED 3/17 98 AT 73,000 MILES AND MY SECOND FAILURE HAPPENED ON 11/09/99 AT 97,622. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, ESPECIALLY THE SECOND TIME. MY WIFE AND I ARE ON A HEAVY TRAVELLED STREET, THE CAR ENGINE STOPS WHILE DRIVING ON A HILL WITH A BLIND CURVE RIGHT BEHIND US, AND ANGEL HELPED US GET THE CAR TO START TO GET TO SAFETY. I WILL BE CONTACTING HONDA RIGHT AFTER I AM DONE HERE, TO SEE IF I CAN GET REFUNDED THE MONEY I SPEND FOR THE REPAIRS SINCE I FORGOT ABOUT THE WARRENTY. I DID NOT TAKE IT TOMY DEALER, I TOOK IT TO MY MEHCANIC WHO I HAVE HAPPILY HAD FOR THE LAST 10 YEARS. THE FIRST REPAIR COST ME 258.00. *AK

PLASTIC SHROUD AROUND INSIDE FRONT DOOR HANDLES (BOTH SIDES) SHATTERED MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO OPEN DOOR FROM INSIDE

SEVERE ENGINE VIBRATION, STEERING WHEEL AND DASHBOARD SHAKE, VERY DISTRACTING, AND CONCERNED THAT DAMAGE COULD RESULT TO SOME COMPONENTS FROM THIS SHAKING. JUST HAD 90000 MILE SERVICE DONE. ASKED IF THE SHAKING HAD GONE AWAY. MECHANIC SAID THAT THE ENGINE IS OK, HOWEVER, THE SHAKING IS COMMON ON THIS YEAR ACCORD (1992). WHEN ASKED HOW IT COULD BE FIXED, HE SAID IT WAS LIKELY A MOTOR MOUNT PROBLEM, POSSIBLY THE ONE WITH FLUID IN IT. HE SAID THIS CAN DEVELOP AS THE ENGINE "SETTLES" OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. I SAID THAT THIS IS STRANGE SINCE MY 1986 ACCORD NEVER DEVELOPED THIS PROBLEM. MIGHT THIS BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT? THANK YOU.
