1995 Honda Accord complaints

AIR CONDITIONER DOES NOT COOL PROPERLY WHEN OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE EXCEEDS 90 DEG. F ESPECIALLY IF THE HUMIDITY IS HIGH. TWO ATTEMPTS BY A HONDA DEALERSHIP TO REMEDY THE SITUATION HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL.

BRAKE FLUID LEAKING FROM ABS MODULATOR. THERE WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN ISSUED NOV.4,1996 FOR 1994-1996 VEHICLES DESCRIBING THE SAME FAILURE. *YC

WHEN THE REAR SEAT/ PASSENGER'S SIDE AND DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELTS WERE EXTENDED TO THE MAXIMUM THEY DID NOT RETRACT PROPERLY AND REMAINED STRETCHED ALL THE WAY OUT. DEALER HAS NOT BEEN CONTACTED. *AK

FALSE AND VIOLENT DEPLOYMENT OF BOTH AIR BAGS RESULTED IN INJURY TO CONSUMER AND DAMAGES TO VEHICLE (ATTORNEY FOR CONSUMER). MJS

THE FLOOOR MATS SLIDE UNDERNEATH THE PEDALS, CAUSING MISGUIDANCE OF PEDAL APPLICATION. THE PEDALS WILL NOT GO TO THE FLOOR. DEALER HAS NOT SEEN VEHICLE.

CONSUMER EXPERIENCED ACCIDENT DUE TO THE CLOSE PROXIMITY OF THE GAS AND BRAKE PEDAL DESIGN, WHICH RESULTED IN ACCIDENTAL ENGAGEMENT. MJS

AIR BAG COMPUTER SYSTEM FAILED (DEFECTIVE). MJS

WHILE BACKING INTO A PARKING SPACE AND APPLYING ACCELERATOR PEDAL, VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO TAKE OFF ( NO CRUISE CONTROL). IT BACKED INTO THREE OTHER VEHICLES WHILE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED, AND WOULD NOT STOP. AFTER HITTING THE OTHER S,CONSUMER WAS ABLE PUT GEAR SHIFT INTO PARK AND TURNED OFF KEY. DEALER / MFR. NOTIFIED. CAN NHTSA PROVIDE FURTHER DETAIL ON THIS MATTER. *AK

ABS SYSTEM ISN'T WORKING. WHEN CONSUMER APPLIES THE BRAKES THEY GO STRAIGHT TO THE FLOORBOARD, AND THE ABS SYSTEM KICKS. CONSUMER HAS TO PUMP THE BRAKES. HARD.

WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH THE A/C UNIT STARTED TO GET HOT AND THEN TEMPERATURE GAUGE WENT ALL THE WAY UP, AND THE VEHICLE OVERHEATED, CAUSING THE ANTI-FREEZE TO LEAK OUT OF THE ENGINE. *AK

AIRBAGS EXPERIENCED FALSE DEPLOYMENT IN A MINOR "FENDER BINDER" AT LESS THAN 10 MPH WITH NO DAMAGE TO VEHICLE, WHICH COULD HAVE RESULTED IN INJURY TO DRIVER / PASSENGER. *YC

A/C MOTOR WOULD NOT RESPOND TO TURNING A/C ON. AT TIMES, IT WILL COME ON AFTER 5-10 MINUTES, OTHER TIMES IT WON'T RESPOND. THIS HAPPENED BEFORE, AND HONDA DEALER REPLACED FAILED COMPONENT, BUT NOW IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN DURING HOT TEMPERATURES

THE ENGINE BLOCK IS CRACK. THIS CAUSES THE ENGINE FLUID TO LEAK OUT. HAVE TAKEN TO DEALER FOR REPAIRS. WAS INFORMED WOULD PATCH CRACKS BUT WILL NOT REPAIR OR REPLACE.

WHEN DRIVING THERE IS A VAPOR SMELL OF GAS WITHIN THE VEHICLE, AND DEALER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. *AK

SRS CONTROL UNIT WAS REPLACED UNDER RECALL 96V217000 AND CORRECTIVE ACTION WAS DONE ON 04-11-97, BUT THE AIRBAG CAME ON AGAIN ON 05-09-99, INDICATING IT IS INOPERATIVE. *AK

NO SUMMARY LISTED FOR THIS VEHICLE. *AK

MY ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM HAS COMPLETELY FAILED, RESULTING IN A $1,300.00 ESTIMATE TO GET THEM REPAIRED. THE REPAIR SHOP ADVISED ME THAT MANY SIMILAR HONDA VEHICLES ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. SINCE NOT MANY OWNERS WOULD BE WILLING TO PAY $1,300.00 TO GET THE ABS REPAIRED, IT RENDERS THE ABS SYSTEM USELESS. AS MY VEHICLE ONLY HAD 60,000 MILES, IT APPEARS THIS PROBLEM IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. *AK

MY 1995 HONDA ACCORD EX SEDAN HAS HAD AN EXHAUST BUZZ SINCE THE DAY AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW FROM FREELAND HONDA. NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS BY THE DEALER TO CORRECT PROBLEM HAVE FAILED. I WAS TOLD BY HONDA TO "LIVE WITH THE PROBLEM" BECAUSE SOME HONDAS MAKE THIS NOISE AND WE CAN'T FIX IT. IT IS A CONSTANT BUZZ AT 1800 RPM'S. NOW THAT THE VEHICLE IS 4 YEARS OLD, THE "BUZZ" HAS GROWN TO A CONSTANT VIBRATION WHICH CAN BE FELT IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE BRAKE PEDAL, AS WELL AS THROUGH THE FLOOR AND SEATS. *AK

WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON, CONSUMER NOTICED HOOD WAS VIBRATING, CONSUMER LEANED FORWARD TO TURN OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL AND APPLIED THE BRAKES, AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED, CAUSING THE CONSUMER TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE FOR ABOUT FIVE SECONDS. VEHICLE'S WHEELS WERE ON THE GRASS. AFTER INSPECTION AT HONDA DEALERSHIP, THEY FOUND AN ONE INCH HOLE IN THE BOTTOM OF THE STEEL PLATE UNDER THE AIR BAG DECELERATION DETECTOR. IT IS BELIEVED A METAL OBJECT HIT THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR AND SET OFF THE AIR BAGS. *AK

DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH CONSUMER REARENDED THE VEHICLE IN RONT, AND DUAL AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLO,Y WHICH COULD HAVE RESULTED IN INJURIES. *AK

SAFETY RECALL OF AIR CONDITIONING WIRING HARNESS POSSIBLY CAUSED FAILURES OF RELATED A/C COMPONENTS.(COMPRESSOR CLUTCH, COOLING FAN MOTOR). CONSUMER EXPERIENCED FAILURES PRIOR TO RECALL NOTICE.

I HAVE CONTACTED AUTO PARTS DEALERS TO DETERMINE IF THE 1994 AND 1995 SRS CONTROL UNITS ARE INTERCHANGABLE. THEY ARE. THEREFORE, THE RECALL ON THE 1994 ACCORDS FOR FAILURE OF THIS PART SHOULD HAVE APPLIED TO ALL OF THE 1995 ACCORDS. WHY HAS NHTSA NOT REQUIRED HONDA TO RECALL ALL MODELS OF THE ACCORD IN THESE YEARS FOR FAILURE OF THIS PART?

THE SEALS ON THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM PUMP WENT BAD, CAUSING THE BRAKES NOT TO RESPOND IN AN EMERGENCY. CONSUMER SLID ON SOME ICE INTO A DITCH. AFTER THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SLIDE THAT WA S WHEN CONSUMER REALIZED THAT THE BRAKES WERE OUT. DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED. *AK

WRONG PCV VALVE INSTALLED IN VEHICLE WHICH RESULTED IN GASOLINE FUMES TO ENTER VEHICLE OVER A LONG PERIOD OF TIME WITHOUT FAILURE BEING DETECTED, FUMES CAUSED CONSUMER VASCULAR SYSTEM DAMAGE.(ATTORNEY FOR CONSUMER).

I HAVE CHECKED YOUR DATABASES AND IT APPEARS THAT YOU DID NOT REVIEW THE '95 ACCORD WAGONS FOR THE SAME DEFECT. PLEASE EXPLAIN.

I HAVE WRITTEN TO AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO. THEIR REPLY WAS LESS THAN SATISFACTORY. I HAVE PAID TO REPLACE THIS FAILED PART. THE 1994 HONDA ACCORD SRS CONTROL UNIT WAS RECALLED. I CANNOT LOCATE ANY PATENT INFORMATION WHICH WOULD INDICATE THE 1995 SRS CONTROL UNIT IS SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFERENT FROM THE 1994 SRS CONTROL UNIT.

POWER WINDOW REGULATORS FAILED TWO TIMES.
