Trouble Spots
Consumer Guide's® Auto Editors have scoured repair bulletins and questioned mechanics to search
for commonly occurring problems for a particular vehicle. In some cases we also give possible manufacturer-suggested
solutions. In many instances these trouble spots are Technical Service Bulletins posted by the manufacturer,
however, we have our own expert looking at additional vehicle problems.
Dashboard lights:
The speedometer gear (in the transmission) seizes and gets stripped. (1994-96)
Hard starting:
Engine may be hard to start after sitting due to fuel-injection leak-down requiring replacement of injectors. (1994-95)
Oil leak:
Leaks at the spark-plug tubes allow oil to leak onto spark plugs. (1994-96)
Seatbelts/safety:
Seatbelts may not retract or may retract slowly. Also, the button that keeps the seatbelt tongue from sliding down breaks. The belts should be serviced under the Honda Lifetime Seat Belt Limited Warranty. (1994-97)
