The brake proportioning valve is failing, this part delivers breaking fluid ti each break. The dealer can not get the part, I have tried to find it on the internet with not luck. Since this is critical to safety I should not drive the car, however at times I must. The car has about 165,000 miles. They have to provide safety belts for life, why not break systems? Since it was in for service this came up, no incident happened

Targa top and windows leak when it rains and creaking noise from roof while driving. The creaking noise is very annoying and the leaking water causes my interior to smell pretty bad.
Dt: the caller would like to report odomerter fraud 1993 honda delsol. The caller states that she noticed that on the carfax report her car that she just bought on july 13, 2005 had 140,000 miles on it. But it was sold to her with only 110,000 miles on. Bought the car from a private seller, and I had not been to get in touch with him as of now, to find out if he knows any information on this matter. I have not contacted the police or insurance company, but plan to contact the police, insurance company and loan company.
Consumer states the wrong size of tires mounted on vehicle are much larger than promulated by owner's manual specification (guardsman 40 t/e all season p185/70r14, dot # unknown). Consumer is requesting that correct size tires (p175 / 70r13 8s2) are replaced. *tt
Targa top leaks when it rains or when washed. It has been continuous since I purchased car in 1996. Dealer temporarily fixed the creaking noise from roof, but told me they could not fix the leaking roof b/c car was passed warranty. This is a manufacturing problem, not something I caused and I know several other owners who have reported the same problem.
Every del sol owner I have talked to in the past 8 months has reported that their cars leak... Water pours on the driver's left leg when you drive in the rain... It is quite distracting...the seat is also always wet when you get in the car.*** *ak dims 11 ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut-over to artemis***758888.
Roof leaking.
Defogger was on for rear windshield. Temperature was 35 degrees outside, and windshield shattered. Dealer was contacted for a price, but will question what could have been the cause.
The passenger side door handle and trim failed making it impossible to open the door from the inside. Other owners have experienced the exact same problem.
Was traveling 30-35mph when another vehicle turned in front & was "t" boned. Upon impact with the vehicle, driver's side air bag failed to deploy. Back & chest bruising. Vehicle totaled.
