13 Gasoline Engine problem of the 1997 Honda Accord

Failure Date: 10/20/2001

While driving the car (approx. 50 mph) the balancer shaft oil seal backed out. The engine oil was pumped out. The warning lights came on and my wife pulled the car off the road. But it was too late the engine seized. Honda was willing to replace the seal but said they would not repair the engine. Honda knows that this seal is a problem and has sent a service bulletin out telling people so. (we did not receive a notice from Honda on this) instead of recalling the faulty part Honda has figured out that they can put the responsibility for their design mistakes on their customers by simply sending out a service bulletin. If you don't get a letter from Honda --OH well. Honda should replace the seals in all of the affected cars and Honda should be required to repair/replace any engines destroyed by the faulty seal.

My car is soaked in oil from the front to the back. . Tires included. I'm surprised it didn't catch fire. People need to be aware of these defects and shouldn't have to pay.

The Honda Accord 3. 0 v-6 engine has a hesitiation problem at all speeds anytime that the engine is placed upon a slight load condition, such as going up any grade. Honda indicates that they consider this to be an acceptable 'driveability condition' and refuse to even attempt to correct. I have been advised by another Honda service representative that Honda has attempted many times to correct the problem but have been unable to do so. That being the case, Honda should be forced to state in all their sales promotional literature to prospective buyers that the 3. 0 v-6 has a driveability condition which Honda can not or will not be fixing. If I had been made aware of the 'driveability problem' before the purchase, I would never have purchased the automobile, but would have gone to another manufacturer.
