1995 Honda Accord brakes complaints
Page 2 of 5: complaints 11 to 40 of 124, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Malfunctioning ABS modulator and accumulator were replaced for $1400.00 at 93700 miles. 1995, honda, accord v6 sedan.
When driving brakes would intermittently not function. Mechanic diagnosed that the master cylinder was defective.
Abs brake light stays on. Problem had been fixed (seal replacement) a couple of years ago, 9-10-99 to be exact, but about a year after that reoccured. Since then I have filled the ABS reservoir each time the light came on and then the problem went away. Now that does not help anymore either. This seems to be a known and dangerous problem with this model and I thought at least that they would have fixed it the first time this problem came up.
Abs light continues to stay on no matter what I do. Brakes feel hesitant. Brake pads are fine, brake fluid level is fine. This same problem has occurred to a lot of people and all honda motor company keeps doing is ducking and dodging and its time for the proper authorities to do something. I feel ripped off.
Honda accord 95. Transmission problem, cost to fix: $2000. Honda car not reliable. Had other problems, replacement part: $700. Dealer can't be trusted! Brakes pulsating, fixed at pep boys: $200. Brake problems! Power driver's seat cost for fixing: $200. Constant problem! Still a problem, still not working well! Timing belt change : $500. Costs more than other cars to get this done! Abs light came on, I have to replace modulator that is leaking, $1400. I want honda to be responsible and pay for the replacement. Have always had problems. Every time is something else! Enough! I don't want to have to get a new car! I can't get a new car and used cars are not reliable either!!!!!
Abs light came on followed by continuous pumping of the modulator assembly. The dealer quoted $1600 to replace the defective part. Nlm
Abs system leaked all its fluid,causing car to skid off road when brakes were applied.
This seems to be a persistent issue for 1994 through 1998 honda cars. No safety defect listed.
Abs light comes on after routine service. Service mechanic says leakage around seals of ABS unit. Paid $150 to have seals replaced--mostly labor. After service, brakes mushy and ABS light still comes on. Based on mechanic recommendation had master cylinder replaced and system bled again. Problem still not fixed. Abs pump will work for first few minutes while driving, but then runs constantly and quits, causing ABS warning light to come on and system to shut down. Mechanic says next step is to replace entire assembly at $1200+. For a system that is hardly used, this is unacceptable. It should last the life of the car!
Abs system not working, took to dealer and was told the modulator was leaking and that possibly other ABS components were bad but that I would have to pay $70 to check it out. Was qouted "anywhere from $300 to $3,000" to fix and after telling the service manager that I had read that it was a common problem with the 95 accords, he confirmed that it was but said "it's really no big deal you still have regular brakes". I believe a problem like this should not occur on a car with only 50,000 miles and have read of many, many other people with the same model\year having the same problem. I think honda should repair the problem at no charge since it is an important safety feature.
Honda accord hydraulic cylinder split on highway. Brakes failed. Thankfully, was able to manuaver the car to a safe.
No summary listed for above vehicle.
Abs light came on. Dealer says modulator is leaking and malfunctioning although ABS light goes out when fluid is added. I believe modulators are being replaced when the only thing wrong is the leak. Cost is $1100 to replace. A safety feature such as ABS should not be failing. This should be a recall or fixed at the manufacturer's cost.
The ABS light come on. The honda dealer price was $1700 to replace ABS modulator and acummulator.
While vehicle was in a standing position there was constant fluid leaking under vehicle. Dealer was notified. Mechanic stated the anti-lock brake system was leaking fluid, and was replaced.
The ABS system has been replaced twice. Consumer has an extended warranty but it doesn't cover the ABS system.
My ABS light comes on and even when I have a brake job done it stays on.
Consumer states there was loss of vehicle control due to premature wear of the rotors. Please provide additional information.
The modulator and accumilator needs replacing ,and reported to cost $1500. If the part cost this much, I would think that it should last the life of the car.
Abs light came on. I brought car to dealer and they said there was a bulletin out to reseal and retighten the ABS modulator. Abs light was back on within 4 months. Went back to dealer and was told it would cost $1400 to fix problem or ignore it because the car would operate perfectly fine without ABS function. Lately the ABS light is coming on sooner and more often and I am having to pump the brake pedal to keep it from going to the floor. I am going to the dealer today, but I am expecting the usual run around.

The ABS warning light came on while driving. The dealer advised that the ABS hydraulic system had failed and that repairs would cost over $700. Honda customer service refuses to take any responsibility for this defect, although it appears that this is a common problem in 1994 and 1995 accords. Why hasn't the federal safety agency mandated a recall? The ABS systems on these vehicles are clearly defective. Honda is trying to avoid paying millions to repair their defective products. The federal safety agency has an obligation to assist the driving public and compel honda to repair their defective cars.
While traveling on highway anti lock brake light appears on the dashboard. Ant ilock feature doesn't work at all. Dealership is aware of problem.
In june of 1999 I got into my 1995 honda accord to start it and the moment it turned over the ABS light came on. I called one of the local honda dealerships (oneal honda) and made an appointment to bring my car in for them to check why the ABS light was on. Oneal honda ran my car through several tests and after 3 hrs. Told me they couldn't find anything wrong with it and they did not know why my airbag light was staying on. The manager of the service department said the only alternative was to check the electrical harnes to see if anything showed up there. He also said they may not find a solution with that option either. He wanted to charge me $500.00 for further investigation. I refused to have them do the work.. The following july, I started having problems with blue/gray smoke coming from the exhaust pipes. I had a service repair main check it out for me . His findings were that it probably had a cracked seal. My car only had 65000 miles on it at that time. I called the oneal dealership and talked to the service man about this problem. He said that was impossible. Honda's do not have those problems with that low of mileage. Not more than one year later the anti lock brake sensor (accumulater) went out . I took my car to jay wolfe honda to have it looked at. He said the brake fluid was gone and it needed a new sensor. I have always kept the maintenance up on this car. I cannot believe that a honda with such low milage should have all these mechanical failures. I am getting no satisfaction from the local dealerships other than a very expensive quotes on repairs.
Abs light has come on, there is a grinding sound when applying brakes, and ABS pump is running constantly when driving.
Abs light comes on after system attempts to build pressure. Very common problem among hondas of this and other years.
While driving 75 MPH the oil drained from the vehicle, causing engine to lock up. Dealer determined that plug from engine housing came out. *ak while driving the service engine soon light illuminated, vehicle would not accelerate or respond, engine locked up, consumer was not able to restart the vehicle, dealer replaced the timing belt, balancer shaft belt, balancer shaft seal and a retainer was put in to hold the shaft seal in place, consumer has been informed that a new engine is needed, consumer states there are two bulletins regarding the front balancer shaft seal and the front balancer seal, however honda will only pay 1/3 of the engine replacement cost. Faulty brakes were causing a noise in the right front, dealer machined rotors and serviced front brakes.
While driving and upon pressing brakes vehicle lunged forward. Took vehicle to dealer. Please provide any further information.
Abs light came on 1 day after routine service. Returned to dealer and informed that ABS module and accumulator bad (pump running constantly). Bleeding system didn't change condition. Cost to exceed $1450.00 for repairs. I have checked the internet and have found many instances of ABS failures with honda vehicles, all in and around 1995 model vehicles. I feel that there is a problem that honda is aware of but isn't telling anyone about, nor are they willing to assist in the repair costs!
