Vehicle ABS started making noise around 90,000 miles and was slowly losing fluid. Light came on permanantly at 100,000 miles and ABS malfunctioned. American Honda is aware of the problem. Tsb 96-05 was issued. Dealer stated it was a common problem and the modulater costs is approx. $1,100. No recall was issued knowing the plugs on the ABS modulator were not properly tightened when the vehicle was shipped from the factory. This caused a leak of brake fluid from the system, which appears to have subsequently caused damage to the master cylinder pressure in the main braking system. Causing the brake pedal to go to the floor and a need to be pumped to obtain pressure in the braking system. Honda claims it is due to the age of the car but the tsb 96-050 clearly identifies liability of the ABS system shipped with improperly tighten plugs. This is what they are requiring owners to take the car back and pay for.
