1996 Honda Accord EX review from North America
"This car is not reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Check engine light was always an issue. Replaced engine and all fuel injectors. All oil pan gaskets and valves. Condenser fan motor, timing belt, power steering pump, front motor mounts, oil pan gasket leaked, and rear main oil leaks to name a few. Transmission went bad after new engine was replaced.
General comments?
This car is very unreliable and expensive to maintain.
