problem #2

While driving oil indicator light came on -lost all oil in engine. Balance shaft seal popped out along with cam shaft seal resulted in loss of all oil no prior warning. Cost $483.22 repaired at dealership. All belts required to be changed. Manufacturer refuses to accept resp for cost. Dealership did not inform of service bulliten notification dtd 10/96. Clip needed to be installed to avoid re-ocurrance.NHTSA should be made aware that these clips are being installed on cars when belts are changed for masintenance at 90,000. But what of the owners where their engines are destroyed because Honda refuses to make the necessary repair before problem occurrs. They refuse to supply me with complete copy of service bulletin. I have not paid the bill and will not because this is a defective part and manufacturer has been aware of this even on 1995 models. I hope that you consider posting this entire message for other owners.
