LEFT AND RIGHT FRONT MACPHERSON STRUTS LEAKING, CAUSING FRONT END NOISE AND VERY POOR HANDLING. PARTS BACK-ORDERED FOR UNDETERMINED TIME. *JB

THE WHEEL BEARING SNAPPED, WHICH CAUSED THE TIRE TO WOBBLE. *JB

THE CONSUMER FOUND THE TIRES ONLY HAD A FEW HUNDRED MILES LEFT TO GO BEFORE HE WOULD NEED TO GET NEW TIRES. FIRESTONE FR690 TIRE EQUIPMENT. MR SCC *JB

WHEN DRIVING IN THE RAIN A GRINDING SOUND OCCURS FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE. TEMPORARY LOSS OF POWER AND CONTROL OCCURRED WHEN ON THE FREEWAY.*JB

THE LEFT REAR WHEEL BEARING SNAPPED WITHOUT WARNING, CAUSED THE TIRE TO WOBBLE AND MADE IT DIFFICULT FOR THE DRIVER TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. *NLM

I OWN A HONDA CIVIC EX 2001, AND THE HANDLING ON THE CAR IS UNSAFE DUE TO FAULTY STRUTS. THE CAR RATTLES AND SHAKES ON EVEN THE SLIGHTEST OF BUMPS. I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW AND HAD THE RIGHT FRONT STRUT REPLACED AT 23,000 MILES. AT 27,000 I HAD TO REPLACE THE LEFT RIGHT STRUT AS WELL. THE PARTS ARE ON BACK ORDER DUE TO WHAT HONDA REP DESCRIBED IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM ON 2001 HONDA CIVICS. *JB

I PURCHASED A 2001 HONDA CIVIC COUPE EX, IN NOVEMBER 2000. IT HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS EVER SINCE. IVE BEEN TO TWO DIFFERENT HONDA SERVICE CENTERS ALMOST 20 TIMES NOW. THE CAR HAS 23,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS GONE THROUGH 3 SETS OF BRAKES. THE CAR COMPLETELY DIED ON TWO OCCASIONS, BOTH NEEDING BATTERY TO BE BOOSTED. THEN ALL OF THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS WERE FLASHING CRAZY. ON ONE OF THOSE OCCASIONS, IT DIED RIGHT IN FRONT OF HONDA, AFTER THEY ASSURED ME THAT MY CAR WAS FINE. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH HONDA. THEY FAIL TO FIND ANY OF THE SERIOUS PROBLEMS THAT ARE CONTINUING. THE CAR MAKES ALL KIND OF RATTLING AND CLICKING NOISES WHEN DRIVING, HONDA FINDS NOTHING. THE WINDOWS/WINDSHIELD FOG UP, DEFROSTER DOES NOT WORK WELL, HONDA FINDS NOTHING. ALL FOUR TIRES ARE LEAKING, HONDA AT FIRST FIND NOTHING WRONG, NOW SAY I HAVE TO REPLACE TIRES. THE DRIVER'S SEAT IS LOOSE AND ROCKING, HONDA REPLACED SEAT TRACK TWICE, PROBLEM CONTINUES, TOOK CAR IN AGAIN FOR SEAT, HONDA FINDS NOTHING WRONG. SEAT ROCKING GETS WORSE, MAKING LOAD NOISE WHEN DRIVING, AFRAID FOR SAFETY. NOW THE CAR IS GETTING WORSE, CAR BRAKES WITHOUT PUTTING FOOT ON BRAKE, CAR IS SLUGGISH, DRIVING FUNNY. I THINK THIS IS THE TRANSMISSION THAT IS GOING TO GO BAD. IT STALLS TO START VERY OFTEN, THEN COMPLETELY FAILED TWICE, NEEDING BOOST. IM VERY CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AT THIS POINT. I EVEN REACHED OUT TO HONDA CONSUMER AFFAIRS IN CALIFORNIA, THEY DID NOT HELP AT ALL, IN FACT THEY WERE RUDE AND EVEN THREATENED ME, WHILE I HAD THE RENTAL, TO REPORT THE RENTAL STOLEN BECAUSE I ASKED IF I COULD HOLD THE RENTAL UNTIL HONDA FIXED MY CAR (ESPECIALLY SINCE THE CAR HAD DIED RIGHT IN FRONT OF HONDA, AND TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, MY CAR WAS DENTED, TWICE, WHILE BEING "FIXED" BY HONDA THAT DAY AS WELL) I AM COMPLETELY DISGUSTED WITH THE CAR AND THE SERVICE IVE GOTTEN. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER PROBLEMS I DIDN'T LIST HERE, TOO MANY TO LIST. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP IN THIS MATTER, THANK YOU. *NLM

THE FRONT TIRES EXPERIENCED TREAD SEPARATION.*JB

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND THE AIR CONDITIONER IS ON. CONSUMER HAD AN EXPERIENCE WHEN APPLIED THE BRAKE, THE PEDAL GOES HALF TO THE FLOOR RESULTING IN EXTENDED STOPPING. DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. TS

1) NO ACCIDENT YET, BUT FREQUENTLY THE SIDE OF MY RIGHT FOOT HITS THE ACCELERATOR WHILE PUTTING THE BRAKES ON; PART OF MY LARGE FOOT IS ON THE BRAKE - PART LANDS ON THE ACCELERATOR. (I AM 6' 1" TALL). DEALER HAS SAID THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT IT. I DO FEEL THIS REPRESENTS A HAZARD TO MY CAR AND OCCUPANTS, AS WELL AS TO OTHERS. MY ONLY SOLUTION IS TO GET RID OF THE CAR TO A SHORT PERSON. (THE REQUIRED DATE BELOW IS INVALID AND IRRELEVANT.)*AK

WHEN I PRESS ON MY BRAKES IT MAKES A LOUD POPPING NOISE.I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THERES NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT BECAUSE THERES SOME KIND OF DEFECT THAT CAUSES THE BRAKE PADS TO SHIFT.THE TECHNICIANS TOLD ME THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED BUT SINCE THEY DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX IT THEY CAN NOT DO ANYTHING FOR ME. SO BASICALLY I'M STUCK WITH MY CAR MAKING THE POPPING NOISE BECAUSE HONDA DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM.I AM VERY UNSATISFIED WITH HONDA AND THE PERFORMANCE OF MY CAR.MY CAR IS A 2001 HONDA CIVIC. I HAVE HAD IT FOR TWO YEARS AND I HAVE HAD TWO RECALLS ON IT AND JUST RECENTLY MY CAR HAS BEEN MAKING A POPPING NOISE WHEN I TURN MY STEERING WHEEL OR PRESS ON THE BRAKES.I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES WITH IN THE PAST WEEK AND EVERY TIME I PICK UP MY CAR THEY TELL ME THE NOISE IS GONE.I DRIVE IT OFF THE LOT ONLY TO FIND OUT THE NOISE IS STILL THERE. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY MY CAR IS MAKING THE POPPING NOISE WHEN I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE LAST TIME I DROPPED IT OFF THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO ABOUT THE BRAKES.I FIND IT VERY DISTURBING TO KNOW THAT MY CARS BRAKE PADS ARE SHIFTING AND HONDA WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY DO NOT KNOW HOW. I DO NOT WANT TO BE TRAVELING DOWN THE FREEWAY AND MY BRAKES FAIL BECAUSE HONDA DID NOT FEEL THAT IT WAS IMPORTANT TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM EARLIER.I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD LOOK INT THIS ISSUE AND CONTACT ME BACK WITH SOME INFORMAION.THANKYOU.

VEHICLE'S CONNECTOR CONTACTS WERE BROKEN, CAUSING THE HEAD LIGHTS TO BE INOPERABLE. DEALER WAS NOTIFIED. PH

I BOUGHT A USED 2001 HONDA CIVIC FROM PREMIERE MOTORCARS OF SANTA FE IN NOV. OF 2002. THE CAR HAD THE SRS LIGHT ON AND NEEDED NEW CLIPS FOR THE SUN ROOF. THEY WERE FIXED BEFORE I BROUGHT THE CAR HOME. APPROXIMATELY ONE MONTH AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR I WAS PARKED AT RALEYS SUPERMARKET WHEN AN INDIVIDUAL DRIVIG A TRUCK HIT THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY BUMPER. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO BE FIXED, THE REPAIR SHOP TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS PRIOR DAMAGE TO MY RADIATOR. I HAD TO PAY AN ADDITIONAL $1000 TO FIX EVERYTHING. I WAS SHOWED THE PRIOR DAMAGE BEFORE THE REPAIR SHOP FIXED IT; SOME OF MY BUMPER WAS ACTUALLY TAPED TOGETHER FROM THE INSIDE, IT WAS NOT VISIBLE AT ALL FROM THE OUTSIDE. WHEN I TOLD SANTA FE PREMIERE ABOUT THIS THEY INSISTED THAT I HAD DONE THE DAMAGE. SINCE THEN MY SRS LIGHT HAS GONE ON ABOUT 5 TIMES AND EACH TIME I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT FIXED I AM TOLD THAT THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG SO THEY JUST RESET THE LIGHT. THE MANTENIENCE REQUIRED LIGHT HAS NOW BEEN ON FOR THE PAST THREE DAYS AND I AM UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THE WORK DONE AT SANTA FE PREMIERE MOTORS. MY CAR HAD TO HAVE BEEN IN A BAD CAR ACCIDENT BEFORE I BOUGHT IT. *AK

THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN AND WILL NOT RESTART. PLEASE FILL IN ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. DEALER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. PH

WHEN CONSUMER SHIFTED THE GEARS, THE ENGINE SURGED AND VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED, RESULTING IN A COLLISION, CONSUMER APPLIED BRAKES HARD, BUT CAR WOULD NOT STOP. RELATED RECALL 01V329000, CONSUMER'S V.I.N. NOT INCLUDED. TS UPON IMPACT THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. IT IS ALSO NOTED THAT THE TECHNICAN EXPERIENCED THE SAME CONDITION WHEN ENTERING THE VEHICLE TO BE SERVICED. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS FAULTY. CONSUMER SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES AND THERE WAS FRONT END DAMAGE. *TT...*AK

I HAVE THE SAME COMPLAINT AS #010302, 8014926 & 746038. MY CAR IS MAKING A LOUD BUZZING, VIBRATION AROUND THE GEAR SHIFT AREA WHEN IT GETS WET UNDERNEATH. BEAVERTON HONDA SWEARS IT IS WATER BOILING OFF OF THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, BUT THAT WOULDN'T EXPLAIN WHY THE NOISE IS LOUDER AS YOU ACCELERATE. I HAVE A YOUNG CHILD IN THE CAR WITH ME AND THIS NOISE IS DISTRACTING YOU CANNOT HEAR ANYTHING INSIDE THE CAR WHEN IT HAPPENS. I HAVE NEARLY HAD A WRECK WHEN THIS HAPPENS BECAUSE YOU ARE AFRAID TO STEP ON THE GAS AT ALL. TS

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED VEHICLE WILL SQUEAK AND THE STRUTS WILL LEAK. THE FRONT STRUTS WERE REPLACED SEVEN TIMES BY THE DEALER.*AK

THERE IS A WHISTLING NOISE COMING FROM, I BELIEVE, THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. I FIRST HEARD THE NOISE WHILE DRIVING THE CAR HOME FROM THE DEALER ON MAY 5, 2001. HAS BEEN TO VANDERGRIFF HONDA 3 SEPARATE TIMES. THE FIRST TIME THEY REPLACED THE WINDSHIELD. THE SECOND TIME THEY SAID THEY COULD NEVER HEAR THE NOISE SO COULDN'T DO ANYTHING. THE THIRD TIME THEY HAD THE CAR FOR 3 DAYS AND STILL DID NOTHING EXCEPT SAID THEY THOUGHT THE NOISE WAS COMING FROM THE BACK BRAKES. SO THEY FIXED THEM. THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES. TWO WEEKS AGO TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER PURCHASED FROM. HE RODE IN THE CAR WITH ME FOR AT LEAST 50 MILES. NEVER HEARD THE NOISE. I LEFT THE CAR. THEY KEPT THE CAR FOR 15 DAYS AND DID NOTHING. ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE REPORT AND THE SERVICE ADVISOR THEY REPRODUCED THE NOISE, BUT COULD NOT FIND OUT WHERE IT WAS COMING FROM. THE COPY OF THE SERVICE REPORT THAT I RECEIVED WHEN I PICKED UP THE CAR, SHOWS 9 HOURS TIME SPENT ON VEHICLE - DRIVING, TAPING, ETC. NOT A LOT OF TIME SPENT ON IT IN 15 DAYS. I CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA CASEWORKER AGAIN TODAY. WHEN I PICKED UP THE CAR YESTERDAY, AS SOON AS I GOT ON THE HIGHWAY THE NOISE STARTED. AFTER 10 MINUTES OF CONTINUAL WHISTLING I CALLED BACK THE SERVICE ADVISOR I HAD JUST LEFT AND HE HEARD THE NOISE. MY DAUGHTER AND GRANDDAUGHTER WERE ALSO IN THE CAR WITH ME. THE NOISE CONTINUED ALL THE WAY HOME. THE DEALER IS 1 HOUR FROM MY HOME. THAT IS THE ONLY REASON THAT I DID NOT TAKE IT TO THEM BEFORE. BUT WHEN VANDERGRIFF COULDN'T FIX IT, I WROTE A LETTER TO AMERICAN HONDA (9/10/02). FINALLY GOT A RESPONSE BACK FROM THEM THE END OF OCTOBER. AFTER WHICH WE AGREED THAT I WOULD TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER I PURCHASED FROM. I HAVE ASKED AM. HONDA WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO ABOUT THE PROBLEM. THE RESPONSE IS NOTHING. SOMEHOW, SOMEWAY HONDA WILL MAKE THIS PROBLEM GO AWAY.

A/C DOESN'T GET COLD, CAN'T GET HONDA TO FIX AS BEEN THIS WAY SINCE NEW. BRAKES WENT BAD WITH ABOUT 15000 MILES ON THEM. WERE BAD BEFORE THAT, STILL DOES NOT STOP RIGHT, AND HAS A VIBRATON WHEN STOPPING TRANSMISSION HAS A THUMPING LIKE NOISE SOME TIMES WHILE IDLING. HAD TO REPLACE STRUT ON PASSANAGER SIDE, COULDN'T GET HONDA TO PAY FOR ALL OF IT. I THINK ONE ON DRIVER SIDE IS BAD ALSO. SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE HONDA CIVIC

CONSUMER STATED THAT WHEN APPLYING THE ACCELERATOR THE VEHICLE WOULD SURGE FORWARD WITHOUT WARNING CAUSING A DISTRACTION TO THE CONSUMER. DEALER NOTIFIED. TS

CONSUMER STATES HE WAS TOLD BY A MECHANIC THAT HIS BRAKES ARE NOT FITTING TIGHT TO THE CALIBER, WHICH CAUSES HIS BRAKES TO MAKE A NOISE IN SHAFTING BEFORE IT CAN MAKE A STOP. HE WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THERE IS NO FIX FOR IT. TS IT HAS BEEN ADVISED THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE IS COLD THE FRONT BRAKE PADS BECOME LOOSE CAUSING THE BRAKE PADS TO SHIFT/NOISY WHILE COMING TO A STOP. *TT

I RAN INTO THE BACK OF A FULL SIZE TRUCK GOING 35-40 MPH THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED BUT THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY I SUSTAINED HEAD AND CHEST TRAUMA IN WHICH I HIT THE STEERING WHEEL. DT

CONSUMER STATED COLLIDED WITH NEIGHBOR'S CAR TRAVELLING APPROXIMATELY 5MPH AND THE FRONT BUMPER WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED. CONSUMER FEELS THAT BUMPER DESIGN IS UNSAFE AND WOULD NOT OFFER ANY PROTECTION IN A MORE SERIOUS COLLISION. TS CONSUMER HAS HAD 3 OTHER OCCASIONS WHERE THE BUMPER WAS DAMAGED. *TT

THE KEYS GET STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND AT TIMES WILL NOT COME OUT AT ALL. *JB

ROTORS RESURFACED AND MASTER CYLINDER REPLACE AT 20,000 MILES, ROTORS RESURFACED AGAIN AT 32,000, NOW NEED TO BE REPLACED AND MASTER CYLINDER GOING OUT AGAIN. HONDA REFUSES TO FIX BECAUSE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. BLAMED EVERYTHING FROM ME, TO TIRE ROTATIONS, TO GETTING THE ROTORS WET. WILL BE FILING A LEMON LAW SUIT. ROTORS AND MASTER CYLINDERS DO NOT WEAR OUT 3 TIMES IN 42,000 UNLESS THERE IS A DEFECT. I DON'T RIDE MY BRAKES AND I DON'T EVEN ROTATE MY TIRES SO THOSE CAUSES ARE NILL. *LA

ROTORS RESURFACED AND MASTER CYLINDER REPLACED AT 20,000 MILES IN OCT 2002. ROTORS RESURFACED AGAIN IN APRIL 2003 AT 32,000. NOW ROTORS AND MASTER CYLINDER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT 42,000 MILES. HONDA REFUSES TO REPLACE STATING THAT THE WARRANTY WAS UP AT 36,000 MILES. THEY HAVE BLAMED ME FOR RIDING MY BRAKES WHICH I DONT... I PUT 24,000 MILES ON THE CAR A YEAR AND USE MY CRUISE CONTROL 90% OF THE TIME. THEY BLAMED PEOPLE WHO ROTATE THE TIRES FOR TIGHTENING THE LUG NUTS TOO TIGHT... I HAVE NEVER ROTATED MY TIRES SO THAT IS NILL. THEN THEY ASKED IF THE CAR IS PARKED NEAR A SPRINKLER BECAUSE IF THE ROTORS GET WET THEY WILL RUST. THEY ARE BLAMING ANYTHING THEY CAN SO THEY DONT HAVE TO PAY. WELL.. THE LEMON LAW IS ON MY SIDE AND THEY WILL PAY. THIS IS MY 5TH BRAND NEW HONDA AND WILL BE MY LAST. ATLEAST KIA STANDS BY THEIR VEHICLES.

THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE IS NOT SPECIFIC TO THE DATE THAT I HAVE REPORTED. HOWEVER, I NOTICED THE PROBLEM START AT 15000 MILES. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME. THE DEALER INFORMED THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I RETURNED TWICE WITH SAME PROBLLEM. THE DEALERSHIP PERFORMED "SOME PROCEDURES" TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING FINE AFTER THAT. THE PROBLEM RETURNED AROUND 33000 MILES. THE PROBLEM WAS AGAIN THE SAME: WHINING NOICE ON ACCERATION, TRASMISSION LAGGING, NOT MOVING IMMEDIATELY WHEN SHIFTED TO DRIVE AND ACCERATOR DEPRESSED. ALSO THE TRANSMISSION WOULD STARTED TO ACT UP GOING ON GRADUAL INCLINES, I.E. AS IF IT WAS SLIPPING BACK AND FORTH. I RETURNED TO DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY PERFORMED ANOTHER SIMILAR PROCEDURE AS BEFORE. PROBLEM SEEMED TO HAVE GONE AWAY. TH E PROBLEM CAME BACK AGAIN AT AROUND 40 K. NOW MY WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. HOEHN HONDA IN CARLSBAD IS THE SAME DEALER I HAVE BEEN TAKING THIS VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE SINCE DAY ONE. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ADVISED ME THEY WOULD REQUEST A NEW TRANSMISSION AND THAT THEY WOULD ASK FOR APPROVAL FROM HONDA TO HAVE IT COVERED UNDER WARANTY. IT WAS APPROVED AND NEW TRANSMISSION INSTALLED. THE VEHICLE RAN FINE FOR THREE TO FOUR MONTHS AND NOW THE PROBLEM RECCURED. I HAVE DISCUSSED THIS SITUATION WITH CUSTOMER SERVICE AT HONDA USA. NOW I AM ON MY THIRD TRANSMISSION IN MY 2001 CIVIC.! HONDA USA HAS ADVISED ME THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THIS TYPE OF TRANSMISSION (CONTINUOUS VARIABLE TRANSMISSION), AND THAT THERE HAVE BEEN NO RECALLS AT ALL. THE THIRD TRANSMISSION WAS INSTALLED BY CUSH HONDA IN SAN DIEGO SINCE THE CAR STALLED CLOSE TO THAT DEALERSHIP. TODAY I HAVE APPROXIMATELY 58000 MILES ON MY 2001 CIVIC AND THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM HAS RETURNED. I HAVE NOT YET CALLED THE DEALER. THIS IS MY COMMUTER CAR AND I DRIVE THIS VEHICLE APPROX 600 MILES A WEEK. I REQUEST YOUR HELP. THE DEALERSHIPS HAVE BEEN HELPFUL WITH TRYING TO SOLVE MY CAR PROBLEMS, I BELIEVE THERE IS A DEFECT WITH THE CV TRANSMISSION .THANK YOU.

WHILE DRIVING, WHEN CONSUMER APPLIES GAS VEHICLE WILL DECREASE INSTEAD OF INCREASE IN SPEED. CONSUMER HAD VEHICLE TOWED, DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS AS A RESULT OF A DEFECT IN THE HYDRAULIC BRAKES. PLEASE PROVIDE MORE DETAILS. TS

INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING SRS SENSOR LIGHT COMES ON, WHICH DISABLES THE AIR BAGS. DEALERSHIP IS UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE, BUT THEY HAVE RESET THE DEVICE THREE TIMES. BUT, FAILURE STILL EXISTS. *AK

WHILE TRAVELING ABOUT 60MPH ON HIGHWAY ANOTHER VEHICLE PULLS OUT IN FRONT OF CONSUMER'S VEHICLE AND HIT IT. UPON IMPACT, PASSENGER'S SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED, BUT DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG DIDN'T DEPLOY. DEALERSHIP WAS AWARE OF PROBLEM.*AK *NLM

CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THE FRONT BRAKE CALIPER WAS LEAKING. MR THE DEALER TIGHTENED A LOOSE BOLT. *JB

CUSTOMER HIT A TRUCK HEAD-ON. THE FUSE PANEL SHATTERED AND SEVERELY LACERATED THE DRIVERS LEG.

PLASTIC WRAPPER FELL OFF. NLM

WHILE DRIVING 43 MPH, VEHICLE ENCOUNTERED ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT MADE A -U- TURN. THE VEHICLE WAS STRUCK HEAD ON WITH ONLY THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYING. THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY WHICH ALLOWED THE DRIVERS UPPER BODY TO MAKE CONTACT WITH THE STEERING WHEEL. THE MOST EXTENSIVE DAMAGE WAS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WITH THE ENTIRE FRONT PUSHED IN ALONG WITH TIRE BLOWING. PLEASE DESCRIBE DETAILS. *MR

SEAT BELT IN REAR OF VEHICAL TWISTED ON PASSENGER WHEN TRYING TO RELEASE AND TIGHTENED AROUND PASSENGER'S NECK CAUSING INJURIES.*AK

THE AIRBAG SRS LIGHT HAS NEEDED TO BE RESET FOUR TIMES SINCE PURCHASING THE NEW VEHICLE. THE DEALER IS UNSURE IF THE AIRBAG WOULD DEPLOY WHEN THE SRS WARNING LIGHT IS ON. THE DEALER HAD A SERVICE BULLETIN POSTED IN THEIR OFFICE CONCERNING THIS DEFECT. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE DUE TO THE SUSCEPTIBLITY OF THE AIRBAG SENSORS TO NORMALLY OCCURRING RF FROM ENVIRONMENTAL SOURCES THAT MEET FCC STANDARDS FOR RF EMISSIONS. HONDA HAS NO EFFECTIVE SOLUTION FOR THE PROBLEM. I WOULD THINK THAT A RECURRING PROBLEM THAT POSES A RISK OF THE SRS NOT DEPLOYING WOULD BE AN UNACCEPTABLE RISK THAT WOULD REQUIRE MITIGATION. IN EVERY CASE, THE SRS LIGHT HAS COME BACK ON WITHIN A FEW DAYS OF SERVICE. I CAN'T BRING THE VEHICLE BACK IN ON A WEEKLY BASIS FOR AN SRS RESET, SO I HAVE DRIVEN THE VEHICLE EXTENSIVELY WITH NO CONFIDENCE THAT THE SRS SYSTEM WOULD DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT. IF THIS IS COMMON ENOUGH TO REQUIRE A SERVICE BULLETIN, IT MAY BE ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR KILLED DUE TO THIS DEFECT.*AK

CONSUMERS SON WAS INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY.*YH

CONSUMERT STATES WHILE DRIVING HAD EXTENED STOPPING.DEALER NOTIFIED SAID PADS WORE DOWN. NLM

BRAKES FAILED. DEALER NOTIFIED. PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE.*AK

CONSUMER STATES WHILE AT A INTERSECTION ACAR HIT HEAD ON AND AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. BOTH SENSORS WERE HIT.

THE VEHICLE STALLS WHEN SLOWING- ESPECIALLY ON OFF RAMPS OR WENT ENTERING TRAFFIC AFTER TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE SOUCE OF THE PROBLEM (AS REPORTED BY MANY CONSUMERS ABOUT THE SAME VEHICLE) IS A SOFTWARE DEFECT IN THE EMISSIONS CONTROL MODULE THAT CAUSE FUEL TO BE WITHHELD FROM THE ENGINE. HONDA KNEW OF THIS PROBLEM WHEN THEY SOLD THIS DANGEROUS CAR TO ME AND DID IT ANYWAY. THEY CLAIM THAT THEY ARE NAVIGATING THE EPA TO GET APPROVAL, BUT MY DEALING HAVE BEEN CONTENTIOUS AT BEST IN GETTING INFORMATION. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUED BECAUSE THIS IS A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM. THE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN FINES HAVE OBVIOUSLY NOT TAUGHT THEM ANY MORE RESPECT FOR CONSUMERS.

VEHICLE HAD BEEN IN A FRONTAL COLLISION AT 50 MPH AND NEITHER AIR BAG DEPOLYED. DEALER AND MANUFACTUERER WERE NOTIFIED. FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

VEHICLE WAS BROADSIDED WHILE MAKING A SLOW LEFT HAND TURN, THE STEERING COLUMN LOCKED UP. NO INJURIES, VEHICLE WAS TOTALLED. *AK WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN, AN ONCOMING VEHICLE HIT THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR QUARTER PANEL. BECAUSE THE VEHICLE COULN'T BE CONTROLLED, IT SLID HEAD ON INTO A TELEPHONE POLE, DEPLOYING THE AIR BAGS AND TOTALLING THE VEHICLE. THE IGNITION KEY IS STUCK IN THE IGNITION. *SCC

WHILE TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY CONSUMER IS HEARING A TICKING NOISE COMING FROM REAR OF VEHICLE. DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF PROBLEM.*AK

FRONT CRASH AT 30 MPH, NEITHER AIRBAG DEPLOYED. PASSENGER HIT HER HEAD ON WINDSHIELD. DAMAGE UNKNOWN AT THIS TIME.*AK
