BOTH SIGNALS ARE HESITATING A LATE REACTION. WHEN TURNING ON SIGNAL LIGHTS THERE IS A CLICKING NOISE, BUT THERE ARE NO LIGHTS SIGNALING ON DASHBOARD OR BACKING UP LIGHTING SYSTEM. DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF PROBLEM. *AK CONSUMER STATES IF IT IS EXTREMELY COLD IN THE MORNING, THE SIGNAL LIGHTS WILL NOT BLINK OR MAKE ANY SOUNDS UNTIL 30-40 SECONDS, ONCE THEY MAKE THE FAST BLINKING SOUNDS, THEY WILL NOT FLASH FOR ANOTHER 30-40 SECONDS OR LONGER, IN WARM WEATHER THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THAT THEY WILL MAKE THE BLINKING SOUND ALMOST INSTANTLY. *SLC

ABS DASHBOARD LIGHT CAME ON ONE DAY, ASSOCIATED WITH A GRUMBLING NOISE FROM THE FRONT WHEELS. THE DEALER SAID THAT SOMETIMES THESE PROBLEMS WENT AWAY BY BLEEDING THE BRAKES, BUT THAT USUALLY DIDN'T WORK FOR LONG. I NOW SUSPECT THAT THE PROBLEM PROBABLY OCCURRED BEFORE WE BOUGHT THE CAR, THEY BLED THE BRAKES TO GET THE LIGHT OFF, AND IT "APPEARED" (RE-APPEARED!) AFTER I BOUGHT IT...BUT I HAVE NO PROOF OF THAT. THE DEALER WANTS $1500 TO REPLACE THE MODULATOR AND ACCUMULATOR. I'VE SINCE SEEN ENOUGH COMPLAINTS ON THIS TO SUSPECT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH HONDA ABS SYSTEMS IN GENERAL. I DO NOT BELIEVE THESE ARE "WEAROUT" COMPONENTS. *AK

ON THURSDAY MAY 10, 2001 AROUND 12:05 PM, THE STARTER ON OUR 1995 HONDA ACCORD (@76,000 MILES) ENGAGED WHILE NO ONE OR THE KEY WAS IN THE CAR. MYSELF AND AT LEAST TWO OTHER PEOPLE WITNESSED THE CAR CLIMB A FOUR INCH CURB AND MOVE APPROXIMATELY 35 FT WITH THE PARKING BRAKE APPLIED. THE CAR WAS STOPPED WITH FOOT BRAKE. IT STARTED TO SMOKE.

THE LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED AND UNHOOKED THE BATTERY. WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO RICK WOODSON HONDA, PETERS CREEK ROAD, ROANOKE, VA. THIS CAR HAS NEVER BEEN WRECKED. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ANY WORK DONE ON THE STARTER. IT HAS NEVER FAILED TO START NOR HAS THE STARTER SYSTEM EVER REQUIRED CHECKING. OTHER THAN MOTOR OIL AND A BATTERY REPLACED ON NOVEMBER 4, 1999, EVERY MAINTENANCE PART HAS COME FROM HONDA. ONLY A HONDA DEALER OR MY HUSBAND HAS EVER HAD THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT HOOD UP ON THIS CAR. IT HAS NEVER REQUIRED A JUMP-START NOR HAS IT JUMP STARTED ANOTHER VEHICLE. I HAVE DRIVEN 95% OF THE MILES ACCUMULATED ON THIS CAR.
