Crack in the engine block where the exhaust manifold connects. Honda knew about the problem and issued a service bulletin in 1998 - didn't notify consumers. Apparently it was enough of a problem that they came up with a solution for the ill placed bracket that supports the engine there. Honda, my favorite car company until now won't stand behind their product even though the car was under warranty at the time the bulletin was issued.
We buy Hondas for their lasting durability and customer satisfaction. They dropped the ball on this one.
Hi, is there any way to find out more information on this problem?? I just recently bought a 1995 Accord LX and want to know more about this situation. Please let me know all that is available or where I can obtain more information about this problem.
Thank you,
Charles Harlan
Just bought a new accord LX. So far it has been in the repair shop for a total of 20 days with ignition problems...
Piece of junk.
Never again will I invest in a Honda!
I have had my '95 Accord since '97. I bought it with about 70,000 miles on it and it now has 161,000 miles. I LOVE MY CAR. I am not sure if other people have just got the "lemons" of Honda or what, but my car has been reliable and has never given me any problems except normal things.
I am sorry people felt this way, but mine has been wonderful.
I agree with you totally. If a car company cannot stand behind it's product, whether good or bad, then that company deserves no one's business.
I have a 1995 Honda Accord with 194,000 miles. I do all the scheduled maintenance and have yet to encounter any major problems. I have also owned two Hondas previously and both gave me good service. They are great cars and no poor comments could make me think differently.
I own a 1995 Honda Accord LX 4 door. I love my car! I acquired the vehicle in 1997 with 30,000 miles. It now has 109,000 miles and runs just the way it did when I bought it. Other than exhaust system problems, this car has been extremely reliable. I bought a 2001 Honda Odyssey due to Honda's reliability and their excellent service departments. I will never own another make of car!
I have owned a '95 Accord LX since early 1996. It has given me absolutely no problems whatsoever. It is a great car in terms of both quality and comfort, although it could use a little more zip. I recently added a short ram intake and now this thing sounds mean! It is slightly quicker in the high revs, too. A wonderful, wonderful car!
P.S.- The manual transmission is excellent.
95 accord.
Antenna won't retract.
Electric windows stick fairly bad.
The ashtray spring that closes it broke.
Other than that though it runs like a champ always starts.
I would say buy one.
I have owned 2 other accords and both had electric window failure & leaked water in through the window, trunk or sunroof.
I have owned two Honda's and my father has also owned a couple. If I were buying new I would definitely buy a Honda. My 91' Accord has 240,000 miles. I have had no major problems and still have the original motor and trans. My fathers two Civics had over 200k with now major problems. Honda....The Power of Dreams.
I own a 1995 Honda Accord LX with about 127,000 miles. I bought this car in 1998 with 20K miles. I had to replace the radiator (it was cracked) within the first 90 days. Then the A/C went out in 1999, and I just recently had that fixed (summer 2003). I found out it had a leak. I then had another cracked radiator and replaced that in 2000. Apparently there is some problem with the vibration that causes the radiator to crack. I have had regular scheduled maintenance. I now have a problem where my car will start without problem, run maybe for a mile, then everything will die and my car will coast to a stop. Everything electrical just dies. It may start and die immediately or run for a short distance. It is now parked in our driveway. The battery was replaced, as was the alternator. We're really over this car at this point. It could be so many things. I did, however, find a notice on line about a recall for the wiring terminal back from December 2000, but I never received a notice in the mail. If anyone has any ideas before we drop a ton more money into this car please advise. I'm really over this and am considering never touching another Honda, despite it's previous record with me (5 years without too much of a problem). I appreciate it.

I have a 95 Honda Accord LX, my problems are: poor performance of the engine , AC leaks, the doors electric system, brakes wear out too fast; replaced rotors pads and rear brake shoes. Please comment on this if it sounds familiar.
140,000 miles,four cyliders.
Your comment may prove extra valuable for me. I've lived with exhaust noise/vibration for years in my 94 Accord LX (126K). Mechanics said no leaks, balancers in engine off so nothing can be done, some say car too old to fix it. I'll have my guy check this out!!!
Don't be so hard on dealers or car companies - not every car is perfect. Stay on top of them, show you're no dummy, things will get done. Hondas are too reliable to give up on.
I have 236,000 miles on my 1994 Accord and have yet to crack my engine or anything serious. I have been through a ditch, off road, etc. Something must have happen with your car. Could it had possibly been built--on a Friday of the 13th day of the year 1995 on the month of March?
I believe the person above that was having a lot of issues didn't MAINTAIN the car like they should have. I have had nothing, but hondas all my life yet to have a problem Started off with a 79 with a TON of miles no issue a 84 with no issues what so ever a 91 Accord with 300k now NO ISSUES still org. motor and tranny, now I have a 2005 Accord an just last night 8/24/2006 I bought a 1995 Accord EX an by the time I got home just turned 200k so now I can say its BROKEN IN.
So maybe its just the OWNER who doesn't know how to take car of it. Just having a Oil Change isn't always the case. there is other services the car needs.
Any other questions drop a email whitejl28@aol.com.
You people can say all the junk you want about a Honda. Just keep in mind when doing so, I have a 1995 Honda Civic LX 1.5. Aside from normal brakes, mufflers, tires and an oil change when I think about it. I think my Honda may have just blown a head gasket, WOW.
Okay Honda Haters, keep in mind here. MY HONDA has just a wee bit over 260,000.00 miles on it so, I guess it's due for some problems huh.
I have owned probably 30 or more cars every couple years, or months in my life time so far here. This was my first Honda and frankly after this one, I'm scared to buy anything but a Honda! I want a car that will get me where I'm going with NO WORRIES for a LONG LONG TIME!
