Where? I dont see any .pdf's there.. Got a link?

PESTLNC

I got this from AllData while trying to pull TSB info:

As for the NHTSA's site, those must have been put up very recently. I've never seen them before...and it it just me, or did the number of TSBs posted there more than double since about a month ago? [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

Here's one that has actual repair info: Squeaky clutch pedal fix

edit: Diagnosis and fix for rear main oil seal leak
edit: Fix for window rattle
edit: Front suspension noise
edit: Driver's seat rocks back and forth
edit: Inaccurate fuel gauge
edit: Cracked fog light
edit: Engine makes rattling noise
edit: Noisy or stiff steering
edit: Windshield cracking in corners
edit: Rear seat lock hard to turn

That's it for now...gives people w/o warranties hope to fix it themselves.

Use this link and then select your model year. The Adobe files should be listed in the description of the TSB, just keep scrolling down.

I mean, this link of course (duh)

ahhhh... seems we need to pay $35 to see any TSBs... those ones someone posted above work though (i mean, for free). just printed out the squeaky cluth pedal one.

thirdhonda

you only need to pay the $35 for the ones that aren't already posted (standard government rate for searching public records), and with any luck they'll post them all. It also turns out that any of you who live near Washington DC can go to the NHTSA "Reading Room" to look at any TSB and copy it. If there is any fee, its probably only for the copy paper. I got this answer from the folks at NHTSA:

"The TIS Reading Room is a repository for the public documents of NHTSA. Manufacturers are required to send TSB's to NHTSA, and we have them accessible in various formats, depending on the date of issuance. The oldest (issued from the 1960s - mid-1980s are here on microfiche and can be copied). Bulletins from the mid-1980s - late 1990s are on an in-house optical disc system. Newer TSBs are on a separate optical disc.
All can be viewed and/or copied during our public hours of 9:30 A.M. - 4:00 P.M. (barring a computer system outage, which can happen, but it is not a frequent occurrence). The Reading Room is in Room 5110 at 400 7th St., S.W., Washington, DC and all visitors must go through security."

Thank you .... My car qualifies for FIVE of those, where the dealer claims nothing is wrong. And there's a few more, noises that I could not find on that page. I now have some ammo the next time I go in there.

can someone download the squeaky pedal fix it and post here. i can't see it.

PESTLNC

To fix this problem, replace exhaust pipe B with P/N18220-S5D-A12,H/C 66932 12. The replacement pipe has a different shape to compensate for thermal shock.

PESTLNC

1. Raise the vehicle so that the front wheels are at chest height.
2. Remove the left front wheel.

NOTE: Do not spill brake fluid on the vehicle; it may damage the paint. If brake fluid does contact the paint, wash it off immediately with water.

3. If the clutch master cylinder is equipped with a retaining clip holder, remove it. Remove the retaining clip.
4. Remove the clutch line fitting from the clutch master cylinder by accessing it through the opening at the tie rod end.
5. Apply a thin coat of silicone grease to the clutch line fitting and to the opening in the clutch master cylinder. Do not use silicone spray; it could damage the O-ring.
6. Reinstall the clutch line fitting onto the clutch master cylinder.
7. Reinstall the retaining clip and the retaining clip holder.
8. Bleed the clutch hydraulic system.
9. Check to see if the noise is gone from the clutch pedal. If the noise is gone, the repair is complete. Go to step 10. If the noise is still present, look for other causes.
10. Reinstall the front wheel.
11. Test-drive the vehicle to check for proper clutch operation.

for some odd reason i can't read any of these things, i try and download but come up with just a bunch of code


help please

thanks

1) What browser are you using? If its AOL that could screw anything up.
2) How are you downloading them? The best way is to right-click on the link and then choose "save as". make sure its being saved as a .pdf file.
3) Do you have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed? If no - get it. If yes, once you are finished browsing the Internet, find the file using Adobe or Windows Explorer (assuming you use a PC) and open it.


By the way, if anyone has used these new TSBs at a dealer, let us know what happened. Thanks.

Print it off, bring it in next time you have to bring your car, and they really cant say anything, My service guy today kinda looked at me in awe, and really didnt know what to say, but "we'll look at"

YS

iTrader: (4)

So they'll change it FREE OF CHARGE ???? and they'll replace it both or just the broken one??? any dealer?

DaveyD

iTrader: (2)

Yea, I would assume so. My dealer is changing free, becuz I still have warrenty. If your dealer sucks, goto another one

YS

iTrader: (4)

I got my car on July 2002 ... so i guess i still have the warranty ...... maybe i'll go this weekend

Thanks DaveyD [IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG]
