    A/c recall - cooling system never works properly. Defrost doesn't clear windows on left side. Engine started leaking oil profusely (part recall?) abs braking system went out. Lighting switch went out & all lights blew. Antenna does'nt work properly. Windows are coming down slower and slower. Seems like the transmission might be the next to go. This car has been a continual case of murphy's law.*ak

    Oil seal/balancer seal "popped off" of the engine. Dealership sees 3-4 of these every other week. Technician has invented oil seal holder part to hold oil seal on because of the frequency of this repair. Honda will not recall. My costs $399.87. All of the oil leaks out of the engine when this occurs; very dangerous to be driving with this faulty part in so many honda accords from 90-97. Contact crown honda in…
