problem #1

Accord 6-cyl

I bought the 2001 Honda Accord V6 in June, after a year I had intermittent ABS light on and off, I had this ABS light on/off since Aug 2002 (which is still under warranty period), had the dealer checked and they found no problem until recently in June of 2003, the same problem occurred again and this time I took it to a different dealer to diagnostic (which I have to pay $100 since the warranty expired), they consulted with american Honda, and had the ABS module replaced under customer assist warranty, the symptom was gone for a day but with sponge brake and have to bring back to dealer to re-bleed the brake again, with sponge brake pedal the brakes completely bled, and ABS light was on. Techician diagnostic with no dtc on the scanner but the ABS light was on, guess what...they reset it and let me drive home and told me drive safely. In Aug 10th 2003 (which is less than a month) the ABS light is on/off again, I called up the dealer that perform the repaired and they request I let them had the car a day to find out what's going on, Aug 19th and they returned the car to me un repair and saying I have an electrical issue on the ABS brake, they want me to pay 2-3 hours of labor to tear apart my car to find out the problem, I called up american Honda again...no help because of the warranty is expired and they will see if the problem is their then they will cover the repair under warranty. I was totally upset about this situation. This is my 1st and will be my last Honda, I will get rid it soon. So far...I visited the dealer 5 times for the same problem.
