TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1992 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HER SON WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING.

1992 HONDA ACCORD WITH MOTOR SEAL RECALL DOWNGRADED TO BULLETIN. CONSUMER STATES THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL SENT TO HER ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. SHE STATES SHE LOST ALL POWER TO VEHICLE DUE TO THIS RECALL AND HAD NO TRANSPORTATION. *KB

CONSUMER STATED THAT WHEN IT WAS WARM AND HUMID VEHICLE DID NOT START. DEALER FOUND THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG. *AK

CONSUMER STATES HE STARTED HIS AUTO AND THE OIL STARTED SHOOTING OUT RIGHT NEAR THE TIMING BELT, ABOUT 3 QTS OF IT. CONSUMER ALSO STATES THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED. TS

WHILE DRIVING, VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A SEVERE OIL LEAK, DEALER STATED THE SEAL ON THE BALANCE SHAFT HAD BROKEN OFF AND THE LEAK HAD DAMAGED A NUMBER OF BELTS WITHIN THE AREA, DEALER ALSO INFORMED CONSUMER THAT ACCORDS FROM 1994 TO PRESENT ARE COVERED UNDER RECALL, HOWEVER HER VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED. *SLC

THE OIL SEAL FAILED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE TRAVELING. ALL OF THE OIL IN CAR DRAINED OUT. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A SERVICE STATION WHERE I HAD THE OIL SEAL REPLACED, AS WELL AS THE TIMING BELT AS A RESULT OF OIL SATURATION ON THE BELT. I CONTACTED, HONDA ON SEPTEMBER 21, 2000 , BECAUSE A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR 93-95 ACCORDS AS A RESULT OF AN OIL SEAL PROBLEM. HONDA'S CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE INFORMED ME THAT THE RECALL DID NOT APPLY TO MY MODEL YEAR. I UNDERSTAND THAT TSB 9610001B RELATES TO THIS PROBLEM ON 1992 HONDA ACCORDS AND WISH TO REPORT THIS FAILURE AND HONDA'S INACTION IN RESPONSE TO NHTSA.

SEVERE ENGINE VIBRATION, STEERING WHEEL AND DASHBOARD SHAKE, VERY DISTRACTING, AND CONCERNED THAT DAMAGE COULD RESULT TO SOME COMPONENTS FROM THIS SHAKING. JUST HAD 90000 MILE SERVICE DONE. ASKED IF THE SHAKING HAD GONE AWAY. MECHANIC SAID THAT THE ENGINE IS OK, HOWEVER, THE SHAKING IS COMMON ON THIS YEAR ACCORD (1992). WHEN ASKED HOW IT COULD BE FIXED, HE SAID IT WAS LIKELY A MOTOR MOUNT PROBLEM, POSSIBLY THE ONE WITH FLUID IN IT. HE SAID THIS CAN DEVELOP AS THE ENGINE "SETTLES" OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. I SAID THAT THIS IS STRANGE SINCE MY 1986 ACCORD NEVER DEVELOPED THIS PROBLEM. MIGHT THIS BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT? THANK YOU.
