1994 Honda Accord complaints

WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH CONSUMER HEARD A NOISE COMING FROM VEHICLE. SOON AFTER FRONT END RIGHT SIDE DROPPED TO THE GROUND. VEHICLE PROCEEDED INTO A SKID. TECHNICIAN SERVICED VEHICLE, AND DETERMINED BALL JOINTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *AK

THE ABS BRAKES FAILED. THE DEALER WANTS APPROXIMATELY $1400 TO REPAIR. CAR IS WELL MAINTAINED WITH LOW MILEAGE.

MY WIFE WAS PARKING THE CAR AT APPROX 5 MPH. SHE HAD HER FOOT ON THE BRAKE BUT SUDDENLY THE CAR ACCELERATED ITSELF AND CRASHED INTO THE WALL 2-3 FEET AWAY. THE 2 AIRBAGS DEPLOYED BREAKING THE WINDSHIELD, THE FRONT OF THE CAR HAVE SEVERE DAMAGES AND MY WIFE BROKE 4 BONES IN HER RIGHT FOOT TRYING TO STOP THE CAR BY STEPPING HARD ON THE BRAKE.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED - AND THE POWER DOOR LOCKS WERE NOT FUNCTIONING (DIDN'T LOCK). I BROUGHT IT IN FOR REPAIR AND THE MOTOR WAS REPLACED. THERE IS ON AND OFF A LOCKING SOUND - LIKE THE DOOR IS TRYING TO LOCK ITSELF. JUST BROUGHT IT IN TODAY AND THEY MECHANIC THINKS IT'S THE RELAY THIS WILL BE ANOTHER 200 (PARTS AND LABOR)

WE PURCHASED OUR 1994 HONDA ACCORD WAGON NEW ON 4/10/94 FROM HONDA OF HAYWARD IN CALIFORNIA. AFTER ABOUT A YEAR OR SO MY WIFE NOTICED THAT THE BRAKES FELT DIFFERENT BUT COULD NOT SPECIFICALLY STATE WHY. ON 7/19/96 WE BROUGHT OUR CAR INTO THE DEALER BECAUSE THE REAR BRAKES WERE SQUEALING. WE WERE TOLD THAT THEY WERE WORN OUT AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. I QUESTIONED THAT THE REAR BRAKES WOULD WEAR OUT AFTER 18261 MILES AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS NORMAL. I WAS CHARGED $129.08 FOR THIS WORK. ON 11/26/97 WE NEEDED TO HAVE OUR HONDA SERVICED DUE TO A FAILED CAM BEARING SEAL. WHILE THE CAR WAS BEING SERVICED WE TOLD THE SERVICE MANAGER JIM MCLAUGHLIN THAT THE BRAKES FELT STRANGE IN THAT THEY PULSED AND THE ABS LIGHT WOULD COME ON WHEN THE CAR WAS DRIVEN ON TRIPS OF 100 MILES OR SO BUT WOULD GO OUT WHEN THE IGNITION WAS TURNED OFF. WE WERE AGAIN TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY FOR THIS MODEL OF CAR. (WE WERE ALSO CHARGED BY THE DEALER FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE SEAL AND HAD TO APPLY FOR A REFUND SEVERAL YEARS LATER WHEN THE SAFETY RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED) ON 11/17/98 I HAD TO HAVE BOTH THE FRONT AND THE REAR BRAKES REPLACED WITH THE ODOMETER READING 36198. THIS COST $166.49. ON 5/1/02 WE HAD THE BRAKES REPLACED AGAIN WITH 66246 MILES ON THE CAR. ALL DURING THIS TIME WE CONTINUED TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES. THIS COST $289.21 FOR THE REPAIRS. FINALLY ON 9/13/03 WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY I ATTEMPTED TO APPLY THE BRAKES AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. THE VEHI

WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE OIL LIGHT STARTED BLINKING. THE CONSUMER DROVE HOME TO DISCOVER THAT THE ENGINE WAS DRY OF OIL. THE OIL HAD DRIPPED OUT THROUGH THE HEAD GASKET. THERE IS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM. *PH

PROBLEMS WITH ABS SYSTEM AND AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESSOR.*MR THE ABS FAILED WITH LESS THAN 80000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT IT WAS NOT REQUIRED FOR SAFE OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER MOVED TO VIRGINIA, AND NOW THE VEHICLE WON'T PASS INSPECTION UNLESS THE ABS LIGHT IS OFF. THE A/C COMPRESSOR ALSO FAILED WITHIN THE FIRST THREE YEARS. *NLM

RE: HONDA BALANCER SHAFT DEFECTIVE OIL SEAL AND BLOWOUT PROBLEM. I RECENTLY AND SUDDENLY EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM WITH 94 HONDA ACCORD. MY FAMILY AND I HAD BEEN ON A TRIP TO L.A. AND BACK ON SEVERAL FREEWAYS, THE SEAL BLEWOUT AND THE OIL WAS DRAINED WITHIN MINUTES. IT COULD HAVE CAUSED THE ENGINE TO FREEZE UP AND CREATED A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. I CALLED HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE, THEY HAD A VERY INDIFFERENT ATTITUDE, THEY SAID THEY MADE A PUBLIC OFFER TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM BUT THAT OFFER HAS NOW "EXPIRED". "IT WASN'T OFFICALLY A RECALL SO WE DON'T HAVE TO FIX ANYTHING". "IT WASN'T OFFICALLY PEGGED AS A SAFETY ISSUE, SO NO RECALL WAS IMPOSED." TRUST ME, LOSING YOUR OIL SUDDENLY AT HIGH SPEEDS CAN VERY EASILY BECOME A' SAFETY ' ISSUE! I WOULD LIKE TO ASK THE N.H.T.S.A. TO RECONSIDER THE PROBLEM AND MAKE IT A RECALL ! LET'S TAKE THE INDIFFERENT ATTITUDE AWAY FROM SMUGG AUTOMAKERS THAT ARE VERY AWARE OF "SAFETY" PROBLEMS, THEY KNOW THAT THEY HAVE DEFECTIVE PARTS THAT WERE NOT CORRECTED. A $5 RETAINER (THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE ) WOULD AVOID THIS PROBLEM! PLEASE ENFORCE A RECALL ON HONDA AND MAKE THEM RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR ERROR IN DESIGN. THANK YOU, TOM ROSS. *AK

I WAS WAITING TO ENTER THE PARKING DECK AND MY 1994 HONDA ACCORD IGNITION WAS ON, THE CAR WAS IN DRIVE, FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE AND THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED FORWARD AND SLAMMED INTO THE SIDE OF A 2003 TRAILBLAZER. THE IMPACT WAS SO HARD, THE TRAILBLAZER HIT THE CAR PARKED NEXT TO IT. BOTH AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. *LA

ON TWO OCCASSIONS ( APRIL AND JUNE 2003) MY 1994 HONDA ACCORD EX ROLLED BACKWARDS FROM MY DRIVEWAY. AFTER SECOND EVENT VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE KEY LOCK CYLINDER WAS DEFECTIVE LETTING KEY RELEASE IN ANY POSITION. THE IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER WAS REPLACED. EACH TIME THER WAS PROPERTY DAMAGE ALL WELL AS COST TO CURE THE DEFECT.

EACH TIME THER WAS PROPERTY DAMAGE ALL WELL AS COST TO CURE THE DEFECT.

AFTER PURCHASING OUR NEW HONDA ACCORD WAGON ON 4/10/94 WE NOTICED THAT THE BRAKES DID NOT FEEL AS THOUGH THEY WERE OPERATING CORRECTLY. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALER ON 7/19/96 TO HAVE THE BRAKES SERVICED BECAUSE THE REAR BRAKES WERE WORN OUT AFTER 18261 MILES. WE ASKED THE SERVICE MANAGER IF THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES DUE TO THE PREMATURE WEARING OUT OF THE REAR BRAKES. WE WERE SIMPLY TOLD THAT THIS WAS NORMAL FOR THIS CAR WITH ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. WE NEEDED TO HAVE THE CAR SERVICED AGAIN FOR AN UNRELATED PROBLEM ON 11/26/97 AND WE AGAIN TOLD THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT THE BRAKES WERE NOT FUNCTIONING RIGHT AND WE WERE AGAIN TOLD THAT THIS WAS NORMAL FOR THIS CAR. ON 9/13/03 WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE CAR ON THE 880 FREWAY I APPLIED THE BRAKES AS I WAS ABOUT TO EXIT AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO QUICKLY PUMP THE BRAKES FAST ENOUGH TO GET THE CAR TO COME TO A STOP WITHOUT HITTING ANYTHING. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO A NEARBY MIDAS REPAIR FACILITY AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE WERE QUITE A FEW SERVICE BULLETINS COVERING THE PROBLEMS THAT I HAD EXPERIENCED WITH MY VEHICLE AND THAT THE DEALER SHOULD HAVE DEALT WITH THEM BEFORE THIS FAILURE. I WAS FORCED TO PAY OVER $1400.00 FOR REPAIRS TO MY VEHICLE THAT WERE THE DIRECT RESULT OF THE HONDA DEALERSHIP'S FAILURE TO LOOK INTO MY CONCERNS ABOUT THE BRAKE PROBLEMS AND LOOK UP THE SERVICE BULLETINS ON FILE. THEY PUT ME, MY WIFE AND MY SON'S LIFE IN DANGER BY NOT DOING THEIR JOB.

CONSUMER CALLED COMPLAINING ABOUT BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER LEAK. DEALER WAS CONTACTED. THE CONSUMER STATED HE WAS TAKING THE VEHICLE TO A SHOP TO BE REPAIRED. MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED AT THE TIME OF THIS CALL.*AK

I HAD 2 DIFFERENT GOODYEAR REGATTA TIRES BLOW OUT ON MY CAR. BOTH INCIDENTS OCCURRED WITHIN 2 MONTHS OF EACH OTHER. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS THE PASSENGER REAR, WHICH BLEW OUT WHILE TRAVELING APROX 60 MPH. THERE WAS NO WARNING SIGNS AND THE AIR PRESSURE WAS APROX 34PSI. THE SECOND OCCURENCE WAS THE DRIVER FRONT ON THE SAME CAR. THIS TIME MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AND WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 35 MPH. AGAIN AIR PRESSURE WAS FINE, ~35PSI, BECAUSE I HAD CHECKED IT A WEEK EARLIER. THE TREAD WAS STILL GOOD ON BOTH TIRES AND THE CAR HAD RECENTLY PASSED A STATE SAFETY INSPECTION WHICH INCLUDES TREAD WEAR.*AK

ABS LIGHT COMES ON AND GOES OFF NEMEROUS TIMES WHILE CAR IS IN USE. ACCUMULATOR MAKES LOUD NOISE AT START OF VEHICLE AND THROUGH OUT DRIVING. BRAKE SOMETIMES GOES TO THE FLOOR. HAVE NOTICED SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE, AND WANT MORE INFORMATION ON KNOWING IF HONDA DEALER WILL REPLACE AND FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A "SAFETY RECALL" DUE TO SO MANY DEFECTS. THIS COULD CAUSE SEVERE ACCIDENT FOR MANY INNOCENT PEOPLE. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A MJOR DEFECT BECAUSE HONDA CORRECTED THIS PROBLEM IN THE 1997 MODEL.*AK

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY TIRES HAD THREE BLOWOUTS . ON SEPARATE OCCASION TWICE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND ONCE ON THE REAR PASSENGER'S SIDE TIRE TREAD SEPARATED FROM THE WHEEL. *AK

MY WIFE WAS PARKING THE CAR AT APPROX 5 MPH. SHE HAD HER FOOT ON THE BRAKE BUT SUDDENLY THE CAR ACCELERATED ITSELF AND CRASHED INTO THE WALL 2-3 FEET AWAY. THE 2 AIRBLAGS DEPLOYED, BREAKING THE WINDSHIELD, THE FRONT OF THE CAR HAVE SEVERE DAMAGES ,AND MY WIFE BROKE 4 BONES ON HER RIGHT FOOT TRYING TO STOP THE CAR BY STEPPING HARD ON THE BRAKE.*AK

MY ABS MODULE WAS TRYING TO PUMP PRESSURE EVERY 2-3 MINUTES, IT IS NOT OPERATING CORRECTLY. IT IS A WELL MAINTAINED VEHICLE.*AK

ABS UNIT IS LEAKING AND UNSURE IF IT WILL ACTUALLY WORKS WHEN NEEDED. THE ACCUMULATOR KEEPS BUZZING TRYING TO BUILD PRESSURE AND DOES THIS EVERY FEW MINUTES. THERE IS ALSO A LEAK ON THE BOTTOM OF IT. *AK

ACCIDENT. NO DETAILS LISTED. *AK

I WAS RECENTLY DENIED ASSISTANCE IN THE REPAIR OF WHAT I CONSIDER A SAFETY CONCERN ON THE 1994 HONDA ACCORD. THE FUEL GAUGE MALFUNCTION IS A SAFETY RELATED CONCERN. I LEARNED THE BULLETIN PERTAINING TO THIS WASN'T RELEASED UNTIL 1995. WHEN THE DEALER WAS CALLED DURING THE FIRST MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP TO ASK IF THEY WERE AWARE OF ANY CONCERN WITH THE FUEL GAUGE NOT READING PROPERLY NATURALLY THEY SAID NO. BECAUSE OF THIS THE CAR WAS NEVER BOUGHT INTO A DEALER FOR REPAIR. HERE ARE EXCERPTS FROM MY LETTER TO HONDA: RE: VIN # [XXX] MY FIANC IS THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE. HER ACCORD NOW HAS ABOUT 150,000 MILES ON IT. WHEN MY FIANCE STARTED A NEW JOB AND BEGAN DRIVING THE ACCORD MORE FREQUENTLY(OVER 500 MILES/ WEEK) I INSPECTED THE VEHICLE. FOR THE MOST PART IT ONLY REQUIRED SOME MINOR MAINTENANCE. THE ONE ISSUE THAT I DID DISCOVER HOWEVER WAS THAT THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT READ FULL WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. I ASKED MY FIANC ABOUT IT AND SHE SAID THAT IT WAS LIKE THAT SINCE THE DAY SHE FIRST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I DECIDED TO FIND OUT IF THERE WERE ANY BULLETINS FROM HONDA TO ADDRESS THIS CONCERN. I LEARNED ABOUT BULLETIN NO. 95-013, WHICH SPECIFICALLY ADDRESSES THE FUEL GAUGE CONCERN. LAST WEEK I ASKED MY FIANC TO TAKE THE CAR TO A HONDA DEALER TO SEE IF THEY COULD PROVIDE SOME ASSISTANCE IN REPAIRING THIS CONCERN. THE BULLETIN EVEN MENTIONS THAT REPAIRS MIGHT BE ELIGIBLE FOR GOODWILL CONSIDERATION AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRATION. MY FIANC WAS DISAPPOINTED WHEN THE SERVICE ADVISOR BAS

THE ABS LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENTAL PANEL ALL THE TIME. THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE DID NOT WORKING PROPERLY. *TT THE VEHICLE SKIDDED IN RAIN AND QUICK STOPS *CB *JB

PROBLEMS WITH WINDOWS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THE STICK SHIFT GRINDED WHEN IT WAS SHIFTED TO 5TH GEAR. *MR *PH *JB

I OWN A 1994 HONDA ACCORD. OVER THE PAST MONTH, WHILE DRIVING, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WOULD FAIL - ALMOST AS IF THE ENGINE HAD BEEN SHUT OFF. OVER TIME THE SYMPTOMS BECAME MORE FREQUENCY AND THE ENGINE WOULD ALSO SWITCH OFF. THIS FAILURE CAUSED THE VEHICLE'S ACCESSORIES INCLUDING POWER STEERING TO STOP FUNCTIONING AND ALMOST RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. I LATER LEARNED THAT THE PROBLEM IS CAUSED BY A FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH WHICH THOUGH KNOWN TO AFFECT MANY HONDA ACCORDS DOES NOT COVER THE 1994 MODEL YEAR. REPLACEMENT OF THE IGNITION SWITCH, AT MY EXPENSE, HAS REMEDIED THE PROBLEM. *NLM

ONGOING PROBLEMS WITH FRONT DISC ROTORS. ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT ROTORS WARPED AND HAD TO BE TURNED SEVERAL TIMES. REPLACED AT 125000 MILES (2002) WITH HONDA PARTS AND THE NEW ROTORS HAD TO BE TURNED AFTER 2000 MILES. NOW ABOUT 6000 MILES LATER THEY ARE BADLY WARPED AGAIN. STOPPING DISTANCE IS SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED WHEN THE ROTORS ARE THIS BADLY WARPED. *JB

THE ABS BRAKING SYSTEM HAS FAILED. THE DEALER STATES I NEED A NEW ABS MODULATOR. THE CAR IS EXTREMELY WELL MAINTAINED AND HAS LOW MILEAGE. THIS FAILURE SHOULD NOT HAVE OCCURRED.*JB

ABS VACCUUM LEAK FROM UNDER HOOD. AFTER SEVERAL DRAW DOWNS, ABS WARNING LAMP COMES ON. THIS HAS OCCURRED FOR SEVERAL YEARS. MULTIPLE ABS LISTINGS IN SERVICE BULLETINS POINTS TO SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH SYSTEM, NOT AN ISOLATED EVENT.

ON MY WAY BACK FROM MT RUSHMORE ON JULY4 ON I90 E TO ST PAUL, MN , SOMETHING HAPPENED RESULTING IN STEERING PULL, TIRE OVERHEATING AND EVENTUALLY THE TIRE LAYERS CAME OFF HITTING THE FENDERS & BUMPERS CAUSING SOME DAMAGE..I SUSPECT THE PROBLEM MAY BE RELATED WITH TIRE STEM..FORTUNATELY THERE WERE NO MAJOR CASUALTIES...I STILL FEEL HORRIFIED BY THE INCIDENT..SOMETHING MUST BE DONE TO AVOID SUCH INCIDENTS..

BROUGHT CAR TO MIKE PIAZZA LANGHORNE PA HONDA DEALER (1908 E. LINCOLN HWY - 215-702-1500 / ) - REFUSED TO FIX DEFECT UNLESS I PAID $68 IN THE EVENT THAT THE DEALERSHIP MAY BREAK AN AFTERMARKET IGNITION WIRE WHILE CONDUCTING THEIR MANUFACTURING DEFECT. I ELECTED NOT TO HAVE THE DEFECT FIXED AT THAT TIME BECAUSE THEY WANTED ME TO PAY ADDITIONAL MONEY TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE DEFECT OCCURRED OUT OF MY CONTROL. MY QUESTION, AM I LIABLE FOR THIS OCCURRENCE UNDER A MFG RECALL? ISN'T A MANUFACTURER RESPONSIBLE TO FIX DEFECTIVE PRODUCT FREE OF CHARGE? IS THIS HOW THEY GO ABOUT MAKING MONEY ON RECALLS? A DEFECTIVE PART - IS A DEFECTIVE PART. IT SHOULD BE CORRECTED NO MATTER WHAT EXPENSE IS TO COME TO THE MANUFACTURER. WHAT ARE THE QUALITY CONTROLS METHODS GOING ON AT HONDA MFG PLANT TO ELIMINATE DEFECTIVE PRODUCT? THIS LANGHORNE DEALERSHIP IS LOOKING FOR $68 IF THEY BREAK A PART TO GET TO THE DEFECTIVE PART. I WOULD LIKE ASSISTANCE FROM THE GOVERNMENT REGARDING CONSUMER RELATED PROBLEMS WITH MANUFACTURERS. WHAT ARE THE RIGHTS TO INNOCENT CONSUMERS FACED WITH RECALL PROBLEMS. I WOULD APPRECIATE HEARING FROM THE PARTIES INVOLVED AND HOW WE CAN RECTIFY THIS SITUATION. DT

I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS BY OTHERS ABOUT THE ABS MODULATOR ON THE 1994 ACCORD. I HAVE ALSO SEEN THAT THIS PROBLEM OCCURS PRIMARILY IN THE CARS MANUFACTURED AT THE OHIO PLANT (BEGINNING VIN# 1HG). THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT CORRECTIVE ACTION NEEDS TO IMMEDIATELY BE TAKEN ON. THANK YOU.*AK
