#709201July 26, 1999
UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE ODOMETER AND TRIP ODOMETER ON THIS MODEL OF THE ACURA IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO READ DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS BECAUSE OF THE NATURE OF THE DISPLAY. THERE IS A SAFETY HAZARD TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS NECESSARY TO REMOVE YOUR EYES COMPLETELY FROM THE ROAD AND STICK YOUR FACE CLOSE TO THE ODOMETER IN ORDER TO READ IT. ON A RECENT 2,000 MILE TRIP, I WANTED TO CHECK MY TRIP ODOMETER FREQUENTLY. IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS TO TAKE TRY AND READ THE DISPLAY. SOONER OR LATER, SOMEONE WILL BE DISTRACTED ENOUGH TO HAVE OR CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I CONTACTED THE ACURA DIVISION OF AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO. BUT THEY STATE THEY HAVE NO INTENTION OF ADDRESSING THE PROBLEM. THE IDIOT WHO DESIGNED THE INSTRUMENT PANEL DISPLAY OBVIOUSLY NEVER DROVE THE CAR IN THE DAYTIME. WHILE THIS IS NOT LIKELY TO BE A MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM IN TERMS OF POSSIBLE FATALITIES, IT IS STILL A SAFETY HAZARD. AND, THIS LEVEL OF POOR DESIGN SHOULD NOT BE TOLERATED.
