Filed Jul 26, 2005 · Electrical · CO

Faulty ignition switch on honda accord 1994 ex sedan. While drving the vehicle, the engine just quits. There is no stuttering, stalling, or engine misfires, it quietly just quits.when you finally coast to a stop and try to re-start, it immediately re-starts and runs okay.when the key is turned to 'start', the engine did start but as soon as you released the key to spring back to the 'run' position, the engine would quit. Eventually, it would stay running but it quit reguarly after that. I am going to repalce the part by tomarrow becuase this is serious . The car stopped in the highway , the stering wheel stop because it is hydraulic and ABS brake stoped working.

Orginal ABS modulator leaked and was replaced. Now factory installed replacement is leaking. This is a high risk of accident problem because honda plumed the ABS system in with the hydralic brake system. Leaking in the ABS system can cause failure of brakes and an accident.

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 vehicle was taken to a midas facility where I explained to the manager what had happened and he checked the car and then showed me the service bulletins that were on his computer for 94 accords with VIN no's starting with 1hgc. The defective accumulator was replaced ($1182.54). After completing the replacement of the accumulator we drove the car and noticed the brake pedal fading into the floor and they determined that the master cylinder needed to be replaced.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
