THE AUTOMATIC SEAT BELT ON MY DRIVER SIDE IS STUCK IN THE FORWARD POSITION. THE PASSENGER SIDE BELT WORKS JUST FINE, JUST NOT THE DRIVER SIDE. THIS HAPPENED AFTER I HAD MY DISTRIBUTOR REPLACED AND WHEN I STARTED MY CAR UP, IT WOULDN'T WORK.
No injuries · No fire · No crash
CAR DIED WHEN I'M STOPPED AND WHEN I ACCELERATE. NOW I CAN'T GET IT TO START AT ALL. THE SPARKS ARE GOOD, THE FUEL PUMP IS GOOD AND IT HAS GAS IN IT .
No injuries · No fire · No crash
DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR BECAME LOOSE AND NOW STAYS IN A DOWN POSITION AND SWINGS FREELY. WAS TOLD TO VISIT JUNK YARD TO FIND A FUNCTIONAL VISOR (WHOLE UNIT HAS TO BE REPLACED). THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED 5 YEARS AGO. THE WINDSHIELD SUN VISOR IS A BIG ISSUE SINCE IT OBSTRUCTS MY VISION (ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT) AND SINCE IT IS SO ANNOYING, I'VE REMOVED IT. NOW I HAVE SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS WHEN THE SUN IS SHINING BRIGHTLY DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME WHEN I'M DRIVING. APPROXIMATELY 8 YEARS AGO THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR SIDE WINDOW QUIT WORKING. I HAD THE MOTOR REPLACED, BUT IT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM - IT WON'T GO UP THE ENTIRE WAY. ABOUT 5 YEARS AGO THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE - SIDE WINDOW STOPPED GOING DOWN ALL THE WAY. AGAIN, I HAD THE MOTOR REPLACED, BUT IT STILL WON'T GO DOWN WITHOUT HESITATION AND STOPS AT THE HALFWAY POINT. THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON PERMANENTLY APPROXIMATELY 7 YEARS AGO AND I'VE HAD 3 REPAIR SHOPS TELL ME THEY CANNOT GET IT TO TURN OFF. NOW I DON'T KNOW WHEN I'M HAVING AN ISSUE. CURRENTLY, I KEEP SMELLING A BURNING RUBBER SMELL, BUT NO ISSUES W/RADIATOR ARE PRESENT. NOT SURE IF THE 'CHECK ENGINE LIGHT' WOULD HAVE ALERTED ME TO A PROBLEM, BUT I DO COUNT ON MY INSTRUMENT PANEL WARNING LIGHTS TO WARN ME OF ISSUES I WOULDN'T BE AWARE OF SINCE I'M NO MECHANIC. I PURCHASED A HONDA DUE TO THEIR SAFETY RECORDS AND DURABILITY AND COUNTED ON KEEPING MY CAR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE. I'M NOW HAVING TO RECONSIDER PURCHASING A CAR IN THE NEXT YEAR AND AS MUCH AS I WAS ABLE TO DEPEND ON MY HONDA, I'M STRONGLY CONSIDERING A DIFFERENT CAR MAKE (NOT A HONDA). *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE AUTOMATIC RETRACTABLE SEAT BELT RESTRAINT IS CURRENTLY STUCK IN THE FORWARD POSITION BY THE WINDOW AND WILL NOT RETRACT. WE HAVE TAKEN THE CAR FOR A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK TO VERIFY THAT IT NEEDS REPLACED. THE PART IS SUPPOSED TO BE COVERED UNDER THE LIFETIME SEATBELT WARRANTY BUT WE ARE HAVING CONTINUED ISSUES GETTING SOMETHING DONE. THEY HAVE TOLD US THEY CAN'T LOCATE A PART, THAT THEY AREN'T "SURE" IF IT'S COVERED, AND HAVE BASICALLY BRUSHED US OFF.
