Consumer Description

THE FRONT BALANCER SHAFT OIL SEAL BLEW OUT, CAUSING RAPID OIL LOSS, AND THE OIL PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT TO COME ON. WE WERE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, 20 MILES FROM HOME. THE CAR NEEDED TO BE TOWED. THE DEALER KNEW OF THIS SEAL PROBLEM AND SOLD ME A RETAINER (NOT MADE BY HONDA) THE TIMING BELT AND BALANCER BELT HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO OIL DAMAGE, ALONG WITH THE WATER PUMP, WHICH A DEALER WOULD REPLACE AT TIMING BELT REPLACEMENT. PARTS ALONE WERE $123.00. IF I HAD BEEN NOTIFIED BY HONDA THAT THIS SEAL MAY BLOW OUT, I WOULD HAVE INSTALLED THE RETAINER WHEN THE TIMING BELT WAS REPLACED AT 90,000 MILES. THE OIL COATED MUCH OF THE UNDERSIDE OF THE CAR, AND POSED A FIRE AND POLLUTION HAZARD. I BELIEVE HONDA SHOULD BE MORE FORTHCOMING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.
