FRONT LEFT ALLOY WHEEL CAUSES AIR TO LEAK FROM TIRE. DEALER HAS ATTEMPTED TO RE-SEAL TIRE TO ALLOY WHEEL THREE TIMES. TIRE IS NOT DEFECTIVE. DEALER RECOMMENDS WHEEL REPLACEMENT. THIS APPEARS TO BE DUE TO FAULTY DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING ON THE PART OF HONDA. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO MAINTAIN PROPER AIR PRESSURE IN THE TIRE WITHOUT REFILLING IT DAILY. DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITH INADEQUATE AIR IN THE TIRE AFFECTS HANDLING AND VEHICLE SAFETY. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT OTHER OWNERS OF '94-'95 ACCORD EX 4-CYLINDER MODELS AREN'T EXPERIENCING SIMILAR PROBLEMS. I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE ANY HELP YOU CAN OFFER. THANK YOU. *AK

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: SIGNIFICANT AIR LOSS CAN RESULT IN STEERING PULL,TIRE OVERHEATING, AND EVENTUAL TIRE FAILURE WHICH COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT.
