What 1996 Honda Accord owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Both lower ball joints cracked in half, which caused damage to the axle. The consumer replaced both ball joints. Please provide further details.
We had our battery replaced by a national auto chain. When complete, the "SRS" warning light activated. Pursuant to the owners manual, we took it to the local honda dealer - casey, newport news,va. They informed us it required a new control unit, the cost $565.00. We took it to another honda dealer - williamson, hampton,va. They also informed us it required a new control unit for $583.00 somewhere along the line it was said it was due to "low voltage". Am I to understand that each time a honda requires a battery, it will cost $583.00 + the cost of the battery. I can't believe I'm the first to complain about this.
Both underfenders for front fenders spontaneously detached on flat, dry highway when I was going at a steady speed of 45 MPH. Driver's side remained attached at front end and twisted around tire, causing me to lose control of car and veer onto verge. Passenger side abruptly detached completely and flew onto roadway. Front end of car has never been involved in collision. Honda dealer claims they never see this happening and continues to blame driver for faulty driving
Balancer shaft seal burst day after oil change, all oil had leaked out due to balancer shaft seal bursting. Damaged engine, $510.00+ repair costcould have caused serious injury if we had been on the highway. Luckily we had stopped prior to oil light going
Cv boot and joints were replaced . Car now pulls to the side, and service dept. Says that it can not be aligned w/out 700.00 replacement part.
Mold in A/C, car shook when turning (ps line pinched), power windows (2) fell off track
Vehicle pulls to the right causing front tires to wear after only 10,000 miles.
Vehicle had faulty right side rack seal and inner tie rod causing steering and suspension problems.
