Hello everyone. Well here is the story, I was on vacation for 3 weeks, and while I was on vacation I told my brother in law to turn my car every 2-3 days. I live in Canada and its very cold right now. When I came back I noticed that I had 3 lights on. ABS, Traction control, and the TCS light on.....well it ended up being my ABS control unit. The dealership wanted $1700 for the assemly kit but luckily I found a used one for $250. Has anyone else had their ABS control unit screw up? Second question is, today I noticed that my heated seats are not working and my power seat is not working.....is it just a coincidence that everything is screwing up all at once? What could cause this to happen? I installed HID lights, and some people told me that it could be that, but most tell me it has nothing to do with it. I remember I replaced my battery right after I installed the lights, and my mechanic told me that if I wasnt boosting the car properly it could of screwed the electrical wiring....someone hellllllpp

I just brought my car in for a 90k service to the dealer. My dealer says all is fine but he says my front brakes are down to a 0 and I need it replaced. This is my 3rd time to do the brakes. What is the normal longevity. My other cars have never had to have the brakes replaced this fast. I asked about going with a 3rd party brake and he advised me against it because of warping of the rotors. What do you guys suggest. I think 30k for brakes is just too fast.

Hi, The front license plate bracket of my 2005 accord broke and I need to buy a new one. I called up a dealer in Houston and they quoted $58 + tax. Can't believe $60 for a piece of plastic  Any place I can get it cheaper. Can't seem to find it any where on the internet either! Thanks Kris

Replying to: ezshift5 (Jan 14, 2009 7:07 pm) I have 07 I4 Manual. Around 56K. My shims just started making warning squeal on the drivers rear. I looked at the pad depth and they seem fine still. My front have not yet made any noise. I believe driving style and habit are the primary factor in brake wear differences. "Recommendation" make sure whenever replacing pads that you have brand new shims put on. This way you know that you are not being taken advantage of at a brake place/dealership. Also, I don't remember if the owners manual lists the depth for change on brake pads but you should find that out for your car and measure yourself periodically. If you can't find it I am sure someone in hear may have access to that info. But if you are not inclined to do any of your own mechanic work at the very least make sure new shims are put on so you can hear the warning sound. Especially if you were told "0" was left on the pad. That means pretty soon you would have started grinding the rotors which could triple the cost of your brake job since you would have to probably get new ones (depending on how long they were ground for of course). Good Luck! PS ~ Not sure if their is a "Brake" thread but you may want to find one to get more advice.
