TIRES:TEMPORARY/EMERGENCY SPARE TIRE
SPARE TIRE PROVIDED WITH CAR IS WRONG SIZE. CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH 16 INCH TIRES WITH ALLOY RIMS. SPARE TIRE IS SIZE 15 INCH. WHEN I CALLED TO ASK WHY SPARE TIRE DOES NOT MATCH PERMANENT TIRES, I WAS TOLD THE 15 INCH SPARE TIRE IS FOR EMERGENCY USE ONLY. WHEN I ASKED WHY A 16 INCH SPARE IS NOT PROVIDED, I WAS TOLD THAT IF HONDA GAVE ME A 16 INCH TIRE THEN THEY WOULD HAVE TO GIVE EVERYONE 16 INCH SPARE TIRES. *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP:ABS WARNING LIGHT
ABS LIGHT CONTINUES TO STAY ON NO MATTER WHAT I DO. BRAKES FEEL HESITANT. BRAKE PADS ARE FINE, BRAKE FLUID LEVEL IS FINE. THIS SAME PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED TO A LOT OF PEOPLE AND ALL HONDA MOTOR COMPANY KEEPS DOING IS DUCKING AND DODGING AND ITS TIME FOR THE PROPER AUTHORITIES TO DO SOMETHING. I FEEL RIPPED OFF. *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY DAUGHTER AND I WERE DRIVING ALONG A BUSY STREET WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO SLOW DOWN BECAUSE THE TRAFFIC AHEAD STARTED SLOWING DOWN FOR A RED LIGHT AND MY CAR DIDN'T RESPOND TO MY BRAKING. I WAS DRIVING BEHIND A BUS AND MY CAR KEPT ACCELERATING TOWARDS THE BUS. I THREW THE CAR IN PARK - STRIPPING THE GEARS - AND THE CAR KEPT GOING. BY SOME LARGE MIRACLE, THERE WAS A GAP IN THE TRAFFIC COMING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION, SO I TURNED INTO THOSE LANES AND TRAVELED FOR A FEW FEET BEFORE I CAME UPON A ONE WAY STREET - NOT IN MY FAVOR - IT'S ANOTHER MIRACLE NO ONE WAS COMING UP THAT STREET, SO I TURNED INTO THE ONE WAY HOPING TO FIND SOME WAY TO STOP THE CAR. THE TWISTS AND TURNS TOOK AWAY SOME OF THE MOMENTUM AND WHEN I HAD GONE ABOUT 1/3 OF THE WAY DOWN THE ONE WAY STREET, I YANKED UP THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND THE CAR FINALLY STOPPED. THE CAR WAS TOWED INTO THE DEALERSHIP ON TUESDAY, MAY 6, 2003 AND THEY CALLED ME ON WEDNESDAY, MAY 7TH, TO SAY THAT THEY RAN ALL SORTS OF CHECKS AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES. THE FACT THAT THE BRAKES ARE NOW WORKING DOES NOT MEAN THAT THE BRAKES ARE GOOD. MY DAUGHTER AND I CAN TESTIFY TO THAT FACT BECAUSE WE WERE THE ONES WHO FACED THAT NEAR DEATH SITUATION AND I REFUSE TO TAKE A CHANCE WITH OUR LIVES. THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE BRAKES AND I WOULD HATE TO START SEEING REPORTS OF FATALITIES CAUSED BY THIS BECAUSE THEY SIMPLY DID NOT DO EXTENSIVE ENOUGH TESTS TO FIND AND FIX THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER IS BASICALLY SAYING THAT SINCE THEY CAN'T FIND A PROBLEM, I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT THE TAKE THE CAR BACK. I ABSOLUTELY CANNOT DRIVE THAT CAR THE WAY IT IS BECAUSE I CONSTANTLY VISUALIZE THE OUTCOME HAD I BEEN TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY GOING 50 OR 60 MILES AN HOUR. AS IT IS, WE ARE VERY LUCKY AND THANKFUL THAT EVERYTHING WORKED IN OUR FAVOR AND WE DID NOT CRASH. I DON'T WANT TO BECOME A STATISTIC AT WHICH TIME THEY WILL BREAK THEIR NECKS TO FIND AND FIX THE PROBLEM....TOO LATE. *NLM

AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW
NEW 2003 HONDA ACCORD EX, WITH ONLY 900 MILES ON IT, HIT AT BETWEEN 40 AND 45 MILES PER HOUR ON PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. NEITHER FRONT OR SIDE AIRBAGS WERE DEPLOYED. NECK INJURIES WERE THE RESULT OF MY HEAD HITTING THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW. I ALSO HAD A 2002 HONDA ACCORD EX, HIT ON DRIVER'S SIDE PASSENGER DOOR AT 35 MILES PER HOUR WHILE PARKED AND NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED EITHER. LUCKILY I WAS NOT IN THE CAR WHEN THE 2002 ACCORD WAS HIT. *JB

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE
THE SRS LIGHT ON OUR 1997 HONDA EX-V6 MODEL WILL NOT GO OFF. WE COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER, WILLEY HONDA, (WHERE THE AUTOMOBILE WAS PURCHASED NEW AND ALL SERVICE WORK HAS BEEN DONE) AND THEY SIMPLY TURNED THE LIGHT OFF SAYING THERE MUST BE A "SHORT" IN THE LIGHT. THE FIRST COMPLAINT WAS BEFORE THE WARRANTY WAS UP ON THE VEHICLE. SEVERAL TIMES SINCE WHEN IT HAS COME BACK ON - THEY WOULD TURN IT OFF. NOW THEY ARE TELLING US IT MUST BE THE COMPUTER SYSTEM AND THEY WANT US TO PAY $750.+ TO HAVE IT REPAIRED PROPERLY AS THE AIR BAGS MIGHT NOT BE WORKING RIGHT! WE FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THEY SHOULD HAVE TAKEN CARE OF THE PROBLEM THE FIRST TIME INSTEAD OF "GUESSING". THIS SHOULD NOT BE OUR PROBLEM NO MATTER HOW MANY MILES ARE ON THE CAR! WE ARE, NOW, AFRAID TO DRIVE IT IN CASE THEY INFLATE WHEN THEY "SHOULDN'T" OR WHEN THEY "SHOULD". I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH CUSTOMER SERVICE HONDA AND THEY SAID THE WARRANTY WAS UP AND I WOULD NEED TO PAY. I JUST HEARD ABOUT YOUR AGENCY OR I WOULD HAVE CONTACTED YOU WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED! THANKS SO MUCH FOR WHATEVER YOU CAN DO FOR ME! THERE ISN'T REALLY AN "INCIDENT DATE" BUT THE PROGRAM WOULDN'T LET ME GO ON WITHOUT A "DATE". I PUT THE DATE THE "NEWS OF THE COST" WAS GIVEN TO ME AT WILLEY HONDA! *JB

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
THE DRIVER DOOR ON HONDA ACCORDS 1990-1993 THE DOOR IS JAMMING CLOSED WON'T OPEN THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT OPEN IS TO WELD THE DOOR OFF, THIS COST IS 700.00 TO HAVE THIS DONE EVERY HONDA REPAIR AND DEALER I HAVE CALLED SAID THEY KNOW ABOUT THIS AND IT IS HAPPENING TO ACCORDS 1990-1993, I THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE AN INVESTIGATION DONE THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS IF THE OWNER CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX IT RIGHT AWAY AND HAS TO DRIVE IT LIKE THAT WHAT IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT AND THE ONLY WAY OUT IS THAT DOOR AND IT WONT OPEN OR THE WINDOW DOES NOT ROLL DOWN FOR WHAT EVER REASON THIS IS HAPPENING TO THESE CARS HOW WILL A PERSON GET OUT? *JB
