#6454 of 13114 Crank seal by scout2003 Dec 15, 2003 (5:41 pm)
I have a 2000 Honda Accord with 75,000. It's a five-speed manual LX. I just had to replace the rear crank seal. I find this unacceptable for a Honda or Toyota. I'm concerned that this is a sign of things to come for this car. Anybody else hear of any problems with rear crank seals on 2000 Accords?

Same here. The car was foggy for a few months. But after driving the car more often, the problem went away.

Sorry to read that your crank seal started leaking.What engine do you have? The four or six?

This isn't something I've heard of before but, anything can happen I suppose.   You find this "unacceptable"?   Well, things can and do happen to the best of cars. 75,000 is a lot of miles too.   I think people expect perfection from Honda and Toyota these days and when a mishap occurs it's unacceptable.   I guess that says a lot for the expected quality of these cars compared to others.   Still, sorry to hear of your problem. I have no idea of what's involved to change this seal.

I don't think that crank seals in Honda should be going at 75k. We buy Hondas as a mark of reliability, and if this happens, then its surely not acceptable. And anyway, 75k is not a lot of miles. I have a 03 Accord on which I have put 25k miles in a year, so in 3-4 yrs I will be at the 75 k mile mark, which to me is just the start of middle age for a Honda.

What is your choice for an alternative that meets your needs as good as your 03 Accord if the reliability is a concern?

2002 Honda CR-V : Made in Japan 5 recall letter   2003 Honda Accord : Made in USA 1 recall letter   I'm not sure what that means but I offer it as pure antecdotal data.

I probably wasn't clear with my post.   I don't think a seal "should" fail at 75,000 miles either.   Still, it's a seal and seals eventually will fail.   If the "average" life of that seal is, say, 200,000 miles, this means some will last 400,000 miles and a few will fail at 75,000.   I guess I show my age when I can remember when it would have been cause for celebration if a car went 100,000 miles without major engine work.   The better the car the greater the expectations I suppose and that's the way it should be.   Still, things will break in the best of cars...that was my point.

Cars are machines and machines break. It does not matter what symbol is on the hood, they can break down at any time for any reason.   Some brands just have fewer problems than others. None are perfect.
#6463 of 13114 What do you guys think by exalteddragon1 Dec 16, 2003 (2:20 pm)
of your accords comparing to the new Malibu, it should have little to none mechanical problems but I know Honda is sturdy too. What do you guys think of the sedans in particular??
