I would take the tsb to the dealer. Tell them you feel that this is an obvious defect in materials and workmanship, and you feel that Honda should repair their own mistake. Be nice, you may have to talk to the service manager, unless they consult him on their own.

We have a 1998 sable LS Wagon and have a problem at high speed 70MPH. We get a high pitch whining noise from the back. The dealer thought it was the electric fuel pump, but it checked out o'key, so did the rear-end. it doe's not do it all the time.Sometimes on a trip you my be driving for about 2-3 hours then it will start and go away. It is worse when you go down hill. The high pitch is real loud and hurts your ears. Any one with this problem??

I'm sorry, did you say that he checked the differential? I didn't understand that sentence. How about the wheel bearings?
#64 of 527 Tgmyers Sable Wagon by spokane Jul 28, 1999 (1:30 am)
This is a front-wheel-drive car so you don't have many "moving parts" in the rear. Does the wagon have roof rack? Sometimes these can set up a drumming sound that is surprisingly loud ...it will usually occur within a fairly narrow range of road speeds. Check the roof rack for any looseness, maybe move the transverse bars a few inches and see if that helps. If the Sable has a roll-down rear window (I can't picture it) you can also have a passenger ride in the rear and reach out the open rear window and grasp the roof rack when the noise starts. Another way to check out the roof-rack theory is to tie a rope to the center of the transverse member and take the free end of the rope in the passenger window. When the noise starts, pull on the rope to add tension to the roof-rack member. If the noise pitch changes, you're on the right track.

Thanks for your replies. I was out of town for awhile and just checked back. I try taking it in.

I just purchases a new Ford Contour SVT. In the final inspection I noticed several scratches and chips in the paint. the dealer has said they will fix it in the body shop and fix it (either repaint the panels or touch up work). Won't either of these options lesson the value of the car? what can I do? any thoughts? Please help soon.
#67 of 527 BMW Speedometer by tmanger Aug 25, 1999 (11:13 pm)
I recently purchased a 740 BMW, the speedometer is off 10+%. It is under warranty, but the dealer has a service bulletin that states that as long as it is not off more than 10% + 2.5 mph, it is within bmw specs. To really go 70mph, my speedometer reads 80mph. They refuse to fix it, because they contend that it is not broken!! Has anybody else had this problem, or know of a fix?
#68 of 527 Honda fuel guage problem. by chevycam Aug 28, 1999 (9:09 pm)
You may or may not be covered. If there is record that you asked about the problem at 50K and your car is in good shape, call Honda's support line. You might be surprised. I had two tsbs fixed on my honda at 66,000 miles. The dealer did it with no problems.

Honda is probably the most generous company going when it comes to repairs after warranty, however the fuel gauge problem is shared by a lot of manufacturers at this time and it is being caused by sulfer concentrations in the fuel, as you have not gone to the dealer with this problem until you have had over 100K miles do you honestly expect this should be repaired for free? you should be able to have this repaired for $200 or less or if you choose to not repair the fuel gauge will be accurate from 1/2 to empty
