problem #2

Jan 012011

Accord SE 2.2L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 110,000 miles

I bought the car from previous owner at 106K miles. Records and proper vehicle maintenance as required since mile #1. However while the vehicle was with me, problems started right about 120K. CV Joints need replacement, Alignment needed every 4 months or so. Oil leak from engine, need to change oil every 2500miles instead of every 3K. Starter died at 133K. Maybe more to come.

problem #1

Aug 252008

Accord DX 4 cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 110,000 miles

I have a 1997 Accord that leaks cold water onto the drivers feet as they are turning corners when the air conditioning is on. I've read about the plugged drain hose that has been said to dump water on the passenger's side floor. However, the 1997 Accord seems to have this hose located entirely inside the engine compartment attached to a black canister near the fire wall and it doesn't appear to be plugged. I just recently had the system recharged, which is when this leaking started to occur.

Any ideas about how I can fix this?
