POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WHILE @ INCLINE IN DRIVE THE CAR QUICKLY ROLLS BACK AS IF IN NEUTRAL AND DOES NOT STOP UNLESS YOU BRAKE. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE HONDA DEALER AND THEY COMPARED IT TO ANOTHER ON THE LOT. THEY SAID THE ONE ON THE LOT DID THE SAME THING SO THEY DETERMINED IT MUST BE A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE. THE TECH SAID BECAUSE IT IS A 4 CYLINDER IT DOESN'T HAVE ENOUGH TORCHE TO HOLD THE WEIGHT. I ALSO CALLED AMERICAN HONDA AT AN 800 NUMBER PROVIDED ON THEIR WEBSITE AND PER ROXANNA THIS IS A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE CAR.*AK

AIR BAGS
AT ABOUT 683 MILES, SRS LIGHT WENT ON AFTER PASSENGER SAT DOWN (CAR WAS STANDING WITH ENGINE IDLING). DEALER RESET COMPUTER AFTER FINDING CODE 15-3. 3 DAYS LATER, THE SRS LIGHT CAME BACK ON ALSO IMMEDIATELY AFTER PASSENGER WAS SEATED WITH CAR ENGINE ON. DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND I WAITED ABOUT ONE WEEK WHILE DEALER ORDERED POSSIBLE REPLACEMENT PARTS. NONE OF THE NEW PARTS INCLUDING SENSOR FIXED THE PROBLEM, SO ORIGINAL PARTS WERE LEFT IN THE VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD THE ORIGINAL PARTS WERE ALREADY UPDATED BY HONDA (BECAUSE HONDA WAS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND HAD ALREADY MADE CHANGES TO PARTS IN SOME VEHICLES). DEALER RESET COMPUTER AGAIN, BUT SRS LIGHT REAPPEARED THE NEXT DAY WHILE I WAS DRIVING WITH NO PASSENGER IN THE CAR. DEALER SAYS THEY CAN DO NOTHING ELSE, THAT THE MANUFACTURER KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT CANNOT FIX IT. SERVICE MANAGER SAID HONDA'S WORKING ON THE PROBLEM AND THEREFORE I MUST NOW DEAL EXCLUSIVELY WITH THE MANUFACTURER. DEALER SAYS ONLY PASSENGER AIR BAGS ARE AFFECTED BUT IT IS NOT CLEAR HOW THEY KNOW THIS. IN THE MEANTIME, I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS FOR ALL AIRBAGS IN THE CAR, AND ALSO ABOUT POSSIBLE INADVERTENT DEPLOYMENT. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED ABOUT THE LACK OF CONCERN BOTH BY DEALER AND MANUFACTURER ABOUT POTENTIAL INJURIES THAT MAY RESULT FROM THIS DEFECT AND THE FACT THAT A SOLUTION IS NOT IMMINENT. *AK *NM

AIR BAGS
SRS LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING. TOOK TO DEALER THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG, RESET THE SYSTEM. WHILE STILL AT DEALER START THE CAR, AND THE SRS LIGHT STAYS ON. THEY TELL ME IT'S A POSSIBLE CABLE REEL PROBLEM, WHEN THEY TAKE A LOOK AT IT THERE ISN'T ANYTHING WRONG. THEY RESET THE SYSTEM, AND MADE MULTIPLE TEST DRIVES WITHOUT THE LIGHT COMING ON. NEXT TIME I START THE CAR THE LIGHT COMES ON. THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS WRONG, BUT I CAN PAY TO HAVE THE AIRBAG REPLACED, AND THE INTERNAL COMPUTER OF THE CAR REPLACED. I HAVE YET TO TAKE IT BACK SINCE THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG.*AK
