SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM
VEHICLE HANDLING BECAME UNSTABLE. VEHICLE AS TAKEN TO OURISMAN HONDA (BETHEDSA, MD) FOR SERVICE. DIAGNOSIS WAS WORN BALL JOINTS. REPLACED AT COST OF $500. ISSUE IS NOT COST, BUT SAFETY. IT WAS POSSIBLE THAT THE BALL JOINT(S) COULD HAVE FAILED CATASTROPHICALLY ON THE HIGHWAY AT HIGH SPEED, RESULTING IN INJURY OR DEATH. THIS VEHICLE WAS NEVER DRIVEN ROUGHLY. THE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE WAS FOLLOWED FAITHFULLY. I BELIEVE THAT THE MANUAFACTURER SHOULD BE NOTIFIED.*AK

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TAIL LIGHTS
THIS IS NOT SO MUCH A FAILURE AS A QUESTION/SUGGESTION ABOUT WHAT REGULATIONS ARE IN PLACE FOR US STANDARDS OF REAR TAILLIGHT ASSEMBLIES. A LOT OF MANUFACTURES HAVE GONE TO USING RED TURN SIGNALS THAT ALSO SERVE AS BRAKE LIGHTS. THE PROBLEM I HAVE, AND I'M SURE THIS HAS CAUSED ACCIDENTS, IS THAT WHEN SOMEONE IS INDICATING A TURN 90% OF THE TIME THEY MUST BRAKE TO DO SO. BUT THE ACT OF BRAKING OBSCURES THE TURN INDICATOR. WHEN ONE TURNS THEY DROP A LOT MORE SPEED THEN SOMEONE BRAKING WITH TRAFFIC. THE UNIFORMLY RED TURN/BRAKE LIGHT ASSEMBLIES CAN CAUSE CONFUSION AMONG DRIVERS BEHIND THE TURNING VEHICLE AND LEAD TO MISINTERPRETATION OF THE DRIVERS INTENTION AND LEAD TO ACCIDENTS. HAS ANY STUDY BEEN DONE INVOLVING REAR-END ACCIDENTS INVOLVING TURNING VEHICLES? THERE IS PROBABLY A HIGHER % INVOLVING VEHICLES WITH RED REAR-TURN SIGNALS. IM HOPING THAT THE NHTSA WILL PERFORM A STUDY REGARDING RED TURN SIGNALS AND PROPOSE NEW REGULATIONS THAT REQUIRE AUTOMAKERS TO USE YELLOW LENSES FOR ALL REAR-TURN SIGNALS. ANOTHER ISSUE WITH THEM IS WHEN THE VEHICLES HAZARD LIGHTS ARE ON. HAVING BLINKING YELLOW LIGHTS WILL ALERT DRIVERS MUCH QUICKER TO THE PRESENCE OF A DISABLED VEHICLE THAN BLINKING RED LIGHTS. THE RED LIGHTS WILL BLEND IN WITH ANY OTHER VEHICLE BRAKING TO SLOW DUE TO THE HAZARD. THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ MY QUESTION, IF THIS IS NOT THE RIGHT DEPARTMENT FOR SUCH A COMPLIANT/SUGGESTION, CAN YOU PLEASE FORWARD IT TO THE APPROPRIATE PERSONAL. COULD YOU ALSO NOTIFY ME OF THE PROPER DEPARTMENT AND ITS CONTACT INFORMATION FOR MAKING SUCH SUGGESTIONS? THANKS. *AK

SUSPENSION
VIBRATION PROBLEM - VIBRATION IS FELT THROUGHOUT THE CAR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TESTED BY THE HONDA DEALER AND BY THE DISTRICT MANAGER AND THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THE VIBRATION. HONDA TOOK BACK THE CAR FOR THREE WEEKS AND CONDUCTED TESTS. THEY CONCLUDED THE VIBRATION IS ACCEPTABLE - HOWEVER THEY WOULD NOT PROVIDE ME WITH ANY WRITTEN COORESPONDENCE. I HAVE SPOKEN TO SEVERAL OTHER HONDA OWNERS WITH THE SAME MODEL AND YEAR AS MY CAR AND THEY ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. IT APPEARS TO BE SOMETHING THAT CANNOT BE EASILY DIAGNOSED. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. THANK YOU.*AK
