ABS light comes on after routine service. Service mechanic says leakage around seals of ABS unit. Paid $150 to have seals replaced--mostly labor. After service, brakes mushy and ABS light still comes on. Based on mechanic recommendation had master cylinder replaced and system bled again. Problem still not fixed. ABS pump will work for first few minutes while driving, but then runs constantly and quits, causing ABS warning light to come on and system to shut down. Mechanic says next step is to replace entire assembly at $1200+. for a system that is hardly used, this is unacceptable. It should last the life of the car!

ABS system not working, took to dealer and was told the modulator was leaking and that possibly other ABS components were bad but that I would have to pay $70 to check it out. Was qouted "anywhere from $300 to $3,000" to fix and after telling the service manager that I had read that it was a common problem with the 95 Accord, he confirmed that it was but said "it's really no big deal you still have regular brakes". I believe a problem like this should not occur on a car with only 50,000 miles and have read of many, many other people with the same model\year having the same problem. I think Honda should repair the problem at no charge since it is an important safety feature.

ABS light came on. Dealer says modulator is leaking and malfunctioning although ABS light goes out when fluid is added. I believe modulators are being replaced when the only thing wrong is the leak. Cost is $1100 to replace. A safety feature such as ABS should not be failing. This should be a recall or fixed at the manufacturer's cost.

The modulator and accumilator needs replacing, and reported to cost $1500. If the part cost this much, I would think that it should last the life of the car.

ABS light came on. I brought car to dealer and they said there was a bulletin out to reseal and retighten the ABS modulator. ABS light was back on within 4 months. Went back to dealer and was told it would cost $1400 to fix problem or ignore it because the car would operate perfectly fine without ABS function. Lately the ABS light is coming on sooner and more often and I am having to pump the brake pedal to keep it from going to the floor. I am going to the dealer today, but I am expecting the usual run around.

The ABS warning light came on while driving. The dealer advised that the ABS hydraulic system had failed and that repairs would cost over $700. Honda customer service refuses to take any responsibility for this defect, although it appears that this is a common problem in 1994 and 1995 Accord. Why hasn't NHTSA mandated a recall? the ABS systems on these vehicles are clearly defective. Honda is trying to avoid paying millions to repair their defective products. NHTSA has an obligation to assist the driving public and compel Honda to repair their defective cars.

In June of 1999 I got into my 1995 Honda Accord to start it and the moment it turned over the ABS light came on. I called one of the local Honda dealerships (oneal Honda) and made an appointment to bring my car in for them to check why the ABS light was on. Oneal Honda ran my car through several tests and after 3 hrs. Told me they couldn't find anything wrong with it and they did not know why my airbag light was staying on. The manager of the service department said the only alternative was to check the electrical harnes to see if anything showed up there. He also said they may not find a solution with that option either. He wanted to charge me $500 for further investigation. I refused to have them do the work.. the following July, I started having problems with blue/gray smoke coming from the exhaust pipes. I had a service repair main check it out for me. His findings were that it probably had a cracked seal. My car only had 65000 miles on it at that time. I called the oneal dealership and talked to the service man about this problem. He said that was impossible. Honda's do not have those problems with that low of mileage. Not more than one year later the anti lock brake sensor (accumulater) went out. I took my car to jay wolfe Honda to have it looked at. He said the brake fluid was gone and it needed a new sensor. I have always kept the maintenance up on this car. I cannot believe that a Honda with such low milage should have all these mechanical failures. I am getting no satisfaction from the local dealerships other than a very expensive quotes on repairs.
