ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I WAS DRIVING DOWN A MAJOR STREET WHEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY DIED. I REACTED QUICKLY AND WAS ABLE TO COAST AND PULL OFF ONTO A SIDE STREET WITHOUT INTERRUPTING THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC. I BARELY MADE THE TURN WITHOUT THE POWER STEERING. I DID SOME INVESTIGATING AND FOUND THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH HAD SOME BURNED CONTACTS. THAT'S WHAT CAUSED THE SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER. *TR

THE IGNITION SWITCH ON A 1990 HONDA ACCORD. I RECENTLY WAS DRIVING MY CAR AND I NOTICED THAT WHEN I SPEED UP THE CAR JUST SHUTS OFF AND IT GOES BACK ON. IT DOES IT AROUND 55 MPH.

SEAT BELTS
I JUST PURCHASED A 1991 HONDA ACCORD LX AND THE AUTOMATIC SEATBELT IS JAMMED IT DOES NOT GO BACK TO WHERE I CAN WEAR IT, THUS I ONLY HAVE A LAP BELT. I WAS TOLD THAT HONDA DOES HAVE A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON THE SEATBELT AND ITS COMPONENTS. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT IT WAS UP TO THE DEALER AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THE SEAT BELT TRACK WAS UNDER WARRANTY. HONDA STATES THAT THE SEAT BELTS AND THEIR FUNCTIONING COMPONENTS ARE UNDER A LIFETIME WARRANTY. WITH THIS SAID, HONDA STATES THAT IT IS UP TO THE DEALER AS TO IF IT IS COVERED. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL HONDA DEALER AND HE SAID IT IS ONLY THE SAFETY BELT ITSELF THAT WAS COVERED. THE WARRANTY STATES DIFFERENT AS I MENTIONED ABOVE. A SEAT BELT IS THE MOST SAFEST AND IMPORTANT PART TO THE CAR, AND I WOULD LIKE HONDA TO STAND UP TO THEIR WARRANTY AND FIX THE TRACK TO MY AUTOMATIC SEAT BELTS. THE CAR CANNOT BE PROPERLY INSPECTED BECAUSE THE SEATBELTS HAVE TO BE IN PROPER FUNCTIONING ORDER. *TR

SEAT BELTS
1990 HONDA ACCORD TWO DOOR COUPE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT BELT MALFUNCTION. MY FRONT TRACK SEAT BELT IS LOCKED IN THE FORWARD POSITION. NORMALLY IT RETRACTS TO REAR POSITION AFTER DOOR CLOSES. I TOOK MY CAR TO LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP AFTER THEY SAID OVER THE PHONE THAT SEAT BELT REPAIR WAS COVERED FOR LIFETIME OF VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP HAD THE CAR FOR TWO DAYS THEN SAID I NEEDED A SEAT BELT CONTROL UNIT, NOT COVERED BY LIFETIME WARRANTY. DEALER DID NOT FIX MALFUNCTIONING SEAT BELT. I CALLED HONDA USA IN TORRENCE, CA.(1-800-999-1009), THEY ALSO SAID SEAT BELT CONTROL UNIT WAS NOT WARRANTED. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO OTHER THAN FIX PROBLEM AT MY OWN EXPENSE. IS HONDA'S ASSUMPTION CORRECT IN STATING SEAT BELT CONTROL UNIT IS NOT PART OF THE SEAT BELT, THUS NOT COVERED UNDER LIFETIME WARRANTY? *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR HAS OPERATED FINE FOR YEARS THEN ONE DAY IT WAS CLOSED NORMALLY AND IS NEVER TO BE OPENED AGAIN (FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE, LOCKED OR UNLOCKED). IT APPEARS THERE IS A FAULT WITH THE INTERNAL DOOR LATCH. AT THIS POINT, THE DOOR WILL JUST NOT OPEN. I AM UNABLE TO REMOVE THE DOOR PANEL TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THE DOOR IS CLOSED. IT'S A REAL CATCH22. I AM NOW FORCED TO ENTER AND EXIT THE VEHICLE FROM THE PASSANGER SIDE. WHICH HAS ME CONCERNED BECAUSE IF I HAVE TO EXIT IN AN EMERGENCY IT MAY BE A PROBLEM. RIGHT NOW I AM TRYING TO GET SOMEONE TO GIVE ME AN ESTIMATE ON WHAT IT WOULD COST TO REPAIR BUT NO ONE CAN BECAUSE THEY SAY THEY HAVE TO REMOVE THE DOOR PANEL FIRST. I FEEL THIS IS A DEFECTIVE PART DUE TO IT'S DESIGN (IF THE DOOR LATCH IS TO FAIL FROM NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR THEN THERE SHOULD AT LEAST BE SOME MEANS TO OPEN THE DOOR SO IT CAN BE REPAIRED!) SO FAR NO DEATHS OR INJURIES HAVE OCCURED BUT I WOULD HATE TO SEE SOMETHING LIKE THAT HAPPEN BECAUSE OF SOMEONE NOT BEING ABLE TO GET OUT OF THEIR CAR.
