1995 Honda Accord complaints

THE FRONT AXLE MAKES CLICKINC NOISE AS THE RESULT OF AXLE FAILURE. YH

I HAVE CONTACTED HONDA REGARDING BOTH THESE PROBLEMS. THEY HAVE AGREED TO PAY 25% OF THE TOTAL COST. I FEEL THAT SINCE THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT BOTH THESE PROBLEMS FOR THIS YEAR CAR THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL - EVEN THE HONDA MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT IF I TRADED THIS CAR IN HONDA CARS OF CORONA WOULD HAVE TO REPAIR BOTH ITEMS BEFORE THEY SOLD THE CAR BECAUSE THEY ARE SAFETY PROBLEMS. HONDA SHOULD PAY THE ENTIRE COST. *AK
