ON 3/31/2005 WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE ENGINE OF MY 1994 ACCORD (130K MILES) COMPLETELY STALLED (NO POWER). I WAS IN THE LEFT HAND LANE AND AS QUICKLY AS I COULD I PULLED ONTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I ALMOST RAN OVER BY THE TRUCK ON THE 1ST LANE. AFTER SITTING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR HOURS, RESTART THE CAR AND DROVE TO GASS STATION, WHICH THEY DETERMINED THAT THE IGNITER HAD FAILED AND REPLACED IT. THE GARAGE INDICATED THAT THIS IS A COMMON. THIS CAR GAVE ME NO WARNING WHAT SO EVER, IT JUST DIED. *AK

I HAVE BEEN A HONDA OWNER FOR YEARS. I HAVE A 94 ACCORD AND1998 ODESSEY. ON THE 1994 ACCORD. THE FIRST ABS LIGHT CAME ON DURING MY DRIVE TO WORK. SO, I HAD THAT REPLACE BECAUSE THE O-RING WAS BAD. THE NEXT PROBLEM WITH THE ABS IS THE WHEEL SENSOR, WHICH I HAD TO REPLACE TWICE. NEXT IS THE 98 ODESSEY, WHICH I REFUSE TO FIX BECAUSE HONDA HAS A PROBLEM WITH THEIR ABS SYSTEM. I FEEL THAT MY FAMILIES IS IN DANGER WHEN DRIVING IN THESE TWO CARS. I FEEL THAT THE NHTSA SHOULD CONDUCT A INVESTIGATION ABOUT HONDA ABS PROBLEM. I FEEL THAT ABS IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE OF THE SIZE OF THESE TWO CARS. ABS IS A MUST, ESPECIALLY DURING THE WINTER TIMES WHEN THE ABS REALLY COMES IN HANDY. I KNOW THAT IF YOU GO INTO ANY ONLINE SEARCH ENGINE AND TYPE IN HONDA ABS PROBLEM YOU WILL GET A LOT OF COMPLIANT ABOUT HONDA ABS PROBLEM. I KNOW THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE HAD MADE A COMPLIANT ABOUT HONDA ABS PROBLEM. I WISH JUST TO HAVE SAFETY WHEN DRIVING. BECAUSE IT CAN LEAD TO INJURY OR EVEN DEATH DEPENDING ON THE INCIDENT. SO, I HOPE THAT THE NHTSA WILL CONDUCT A INVESTIGATION OF HONDA ABS PROBLEM. THANKS. *AK

I OWN A 1994 HONDA ACCORD EX-ORIGINAL OWNER. SINCE BUYING NEW TIRES FROM FIRESTONE IN 12/99, I'VE HAD MANY FLATS DUE TO LEAKS.I'VE TAKEN IT TO FIRESTONE AND TIRES PLUS TO REPAIR MULTIPLE TIMES. FIRESTONE HAS NEW COMPUTER SYSTEM SO CAN ONLY TRACK IT BACK TO 1/26/01. I DON'T THINK I HAVE THE RECEIPTS FOR ALL DATES BUT I DO FOR THE FOLLOWING DATES LISTED. SINCE PURCHASING, SOME OF THE DATES OF THE LEAKS ARE: 2/18/00,2/19/00,1/26/01, 8/28/02(TIRES PLUS), 8/31/02, 12/24/03 (2 TIRES), 1/7/04(2 TIRES). ALL OF THE REPAIRS WERE DONE AT FIRESTONE AT APACHE WHERE THE TIRES WERE PURCHASED EXCEPT FOR 8/28/02. (THE TIRES ARE 195/60R15 RE910.) FIRESTONE HAS GROUND DOWN ALL 4 RIMS AND REATTACHED THE TIRES DIFFERENT TIMES. FIRESTONE STATES IT'S THE ALUMINUM RIMS FROM HONDA. ONE OF THE SERVICE MEN IN HONDA AGREED WHEN I CALLED. WHEN I CALLED HONDA MANAGER "DOYLE" AT TOM PONTIAC HONDA, HE SAID IT WAS THE POOR WORK OF FIRESTONE. DOYLE STATED HE WOULD TAKE THE TIRES OFF, REGROUND THE RIMS AND REATTACH THE TIRES FOR A COST OF UP TO $160.00. I THINK THIS IS A VERY OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE FOR THE CONSUMER AS WELL AS A POOR EXAMPLE OF CUSTOMER SERVICE FROM HONDA. I BELIEVE IT'S THE RIMS, ESPECIALLY WHEN REVIEWING OTHER COMPLAINTS REGARDING AIR LEAKS FROM 94 HONDA ACCORD EXS ON THIS WEBSITE. I BELIEVE IT'S THE RIMS AND WONDER HOW MUCH IS IT GOING TO TAKE UNTIL SOMEONE STEPS UP AND CARES FOR THE CONSUMER REGARDING THIS SAFETY ISSUE? I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT AND THE REST OF THE CAR IS EXCELLENT.*AK
