Vehicle developed leaks in brake line and fuel line in region below floor pan. This was due to rust-through. Service advisor informed me that this condition has been showing up lately, and showed me an assembly that had been recently replaced on a similar vehicle. Vehicle was impounded by dealer because of potential total failure of systems. Vehicle required almost two weeks to repair because Honda had a national backorder on the replacement parts. This suggests to me that there may be a sudden demand for these parts.
Right front brake line has a groove cut into it and cv boot is split. First noted on 12/04/03 when car checked for brakes. Transmission had been replaced by Honda on 03/03 after complaints of hard down shifting. Car still downshifts hard but not all the time. Gas pedal sticks when car is cold on acceleration. Honda corporate has been notified along with dealer. They want me to pay for half of the repairs. Parts have been on order for two weeks. There was never a problem with brakes until Honda replaced transmission on 03/03.
