1996 Honda Accord

I BOUGHT MY 1996 HONDA ACCORD EX ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON, BUT THAT IT WAS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT THAT IT HAD BEEN CHECKED OUT AND NOTHING WAS WRONG. I DID SOME SEARCHING ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND OUT THAT I WASN'T THE ONLY ONE WHO HAD AN ABS LIGHT PROBLEM. I TALKED TO MY HONDA DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE WORST CASE SCENARIO WAS AN ABS MODULATOR THAT WOULD COST 1,200+. WHEN I START MY CAR IT MAKES A FUNNY NOISE FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS AND THEN MY ABS LIGHT COMES ON AND THE NOISE STOPS. I WASN'T CONCERNED AT FIRST , BUT I FOUND OUT THAT I COULD CONTACT NHTSA AND SOME ACTION COULD BE TAKEN. IF MY ABS SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK AND I SLAM ON MY BRAKES AND THEY LOCK UP AND I HIT SOMEONE THEN I AM AT FAULT , BUT I COULD NOT HELP HITTING THEM IF MY BRAKES ARE LOCKED UP AND I AM STILL GOING. THIS COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR MAYBE EVEN DEATH. I DO NOT HAVE 1,200+ TO FIX THIS. THE HONDA CO. SHOULDN'T HAVE USED FAULTY PARTS. COULD YOU PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AND LET ME KNOW SOMETHING. A GOOD PLACE TO GO TO FIND OUT INFORMATION ON ABS MODUALTORS IS YAHOO.COM. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THIS IS DONE CASE-BY-CASE. HERE IS A CASE NUMBER THAT I ATTAINED OFF OF THE INTERNET. : (301).990.2000. I HOPE THIS HELPS. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO MY COMPLAINT.*AK

I HAD TO HAVE THE BALANCER SHAFT SEALS REPLACED ON MY 96 ACCORD AFTER THEIR COMPLETE FAILURE AT A COST OF $700. IN OCTOBER I RECEIVED WORD THAT THE CAR WAS BEING RECALLED FOR HE PROBLEM AND THAT I COULD SUBMIT FOR REIMBURSEMENT. WAS TOLD TO EXPECT PAYMENT IN 8 WEEKS. THAT WAS 8 MONTHS AGO. HONDA IS NOT PROCESSING THESE REIMBURSEMENTS IN EVEN A REMOTELY TIMELY MANNER. THEY CLAI THEY UNDERESTIMATED THE TIME INVOLED, BUT EVEN IF THEY PROCESS 5 A DAY THEY SHOULD BE MAILING OUT CHECKS. THEY ARE STONEWALLING, AND REFUSE TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE CONSUMER OVER THE MATER.*AK
