LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, STRUCTURE:BODY
MY DAUGHTER WAS NOT ABLE TO OPEN THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR FROM EITHER THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE DOOR LATCH. THIS REALLY SCARED HER SO THAT WE SHE WALKED TO OUR HOUSE DOORS SHE WAS SHAKING. THIS IS A 2-DOOR COUPE AND SHE WAS SCARED AND ALMOST PANICKING. SHE ASKED ME WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE DOOR BECAUSE SHE COULD NOT OPEN IT. I INVESTIGATED AND THE REMOTE DOOR OPENER WAS WORKING. EVEN USED THE MANUAL KEY TO TRY TO OPEN THE DOOR BUT THE LATCH WOULD NOT ENGAGE TO OPEN THE DOOR. MY BIGGEST CONCERN WAS THE SAFETY ISSUE. WHAT IF MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING AND HAD AN ACCIDENT AND SHE HAD TO GET OUT OF THE CAR? WHAT IF THE CAR WAS ON FIRE? THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A DESIGN FLAW IN THE WAY THE DOOR WAS DESIGNED. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WERE OTHER HONDA CARS THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. AGAIN, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I AM NOT AWARE IF THE OTHER HONDA OWNERS WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS HAVE ACTUALLY REPORTED THIS. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL ONLINE POST COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM... *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, POWER TRAIN
UPON HAVING THE SECONDARY SHAFT BEARING RECALL COMPLETED MY CAR STARTED TO DRIVE VERY SLUGGISH. UPON ACCELERATION THE CAR IS VERY SLOW TO ACCELERATE AND FEELS LIKE IT'S DRAGGING AND STAYING IN ONE GEAR TOO LONG. WHEN FINALLY I GET TO DESIRED SPEED THE CAR WILL SLIGHTLY JERK AS IF IT IS TRYING TO SWITCH GEARS AND WILL SOMETIMES DECELERATE IN SPEED. I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY ACCELERATE TO KEEP CAR GOING UP TO SPEED AND SOMETIMES HAVE TO PRESS GAS PEDAL TO FLOOR TO GET UP TO SPEED. CAR MAKES A HUMMING SOUND ON AND OFF WHEN TRYING TO GET UP TO SPEED. DEALERSHIP RAN ALL CHECKS AND COULD NOT FIND ANY FAILURES. I HOPE HONDA INVESTIGATES THIS ISSUE. MY CAR WAS RUNNING VERY SMOOTHLY BEFORE I TOOK IT IN FOR RECALL AND NOW IT RUNS VERY ROUGH. VERY DISAPPOINTING!!! *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I WAS IN PARK PROCEEDED TO PUT MY CAR IN REVERSE INSTEAD OF BACKING UP, THE CAR KEPT MOVING IN A SEMI - CIRCLE, THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF CONTROL. THUS, I ATTEMPTED TO BRING THE CAR TO A HALT BY STEPPING ON THE BRAKES, HOWEVER, THE BRAKE PEDAL CEASED TO WORK AND DID NOT STOP THE CAR FROM BEING IN MOTION. IN CLOSING, THE CAR LOST CONTROL WENT ABOUT 100FT. OR MORE TILL IT FINALLY CAME TO A STOP AT THE END OF THE PARKING LOT. LASTLY, THE CAR IS AT COAST HONDA, HOWEVER, I WAS INFORMED THERE WAS NOT ANYTHING THEY COULD DO TO REPAIR THE CAR. MY CONCERN IS IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN WHAT IF ANYTHING CAN I DO TO PREVENT THIS? AS SUCH, THIS TIME I WAS FORTUNATE BECAUSE, I WAS IN A PARKING LOT AND NOT ON A ROAD, WHERE I COULD HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT, OR WORSE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) *TT
