Consumer Description

BALANCER OIL SEAL FAILED AND ALL OIL GUSHED OUT, CAUSING SATURATION OF THE TIMING BELT, BALANCING BELT AND DRIVE BELT, THE WATER PUMP AND ALL THREE OILS SEALS. HONDA DEALER REQUIRED THAT ALL THESE PARTS BE REPLACED, RESULTING IN A BILL OF $809.57. THE NHTSA CONSUMER COMPLAINT DATABASE LISTS OVER 7 RELATED COMPLAINTS FOR THE FAILURE OF OILS SEALS. I HAVE REQUESTED FROM THE DEALER THE DAMAGED PARTS, BUT HAVE NOT RECEIVED THEM. THE DEALER WAS UNAWARE OF THIS PROBLEM, ALTHOUGH THERE APPEARS TO BE A RELATED NHTSA SERVICE BULLETIN, NUMBER 961001B. THE SEAL COSTS ABOUT $12 TO $13, BUT ITS FAILURE CAN CAUSE EXTENSIVE DAMAGE AND SAFETY PROBLEMS.
