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.
Brake lights:
If an aftermarket security system is installed, brake indicator light may come on when the automatic transmission is placed in gear, and go off in neutral or park. (1995-97)
Cupholders:
The cigarette lighter/cupholder comes loose. (1995-96)
Engine noise:
A problem with the power brakes' vacuum-booster check valve causes a buzzing noise when idling in gear. (1995)
Fuel gauge:
The fuel gauge on some vehicles does not go all the way to "F" because the arm on the sending unit is too long. (1995)
Glovebox:
The glovebox door pops off because the latch assembly falls apart. (1995)
Oil leak:
Sudden oil loss and resultant severe engine damage could be the result of front balance shaft oil plug popping out. (1995-97)
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. (1995-97)
