“The replacement of the failing ignition distributor (engine light is on), which is essential part of the emission control system, is required on my 1995 Honda Accord wagon lx. In addition, there is a significant decrease to the mileage and speed sensor may need to be replaced. According to Honda north america the extension of the emission warranty (TSB# 98-081) granted to all 1995-v6, 1996-all and 97-all accords, is not applicable to my year and model. …”

The lady inside asked, was that noise my car lock, she showed me that hers was the same, we also have problems with our antenna's, and windows. This is not a real how often do you meet someone with the same problems?( we both have two windows,two doors locks, and antennas problems) and the same model and year.
