| 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. | |||
