FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM:INJECTORS
I BEGAN TO SMELL GASOLINE WHEN THE CAR WAS STOPPED OR ENGINE OFF. THE SMELL WAS VERY STRONG AFTER THE ENGINE WAS OFF. I TOOK THE CAR TO NORTHSIDE AUTO REPAIR. THE OWNER INFORMED ME IT WAS THE FUEL INJECTORS. I DID NOT CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP. I HAD THE FUEL INJECTORS REPLACED WITH NEW ONES. THE OWNER INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THE CAR WITH THE INJECTORS LEAKING. HE ALSO STATED THAT VERY RARILY DO THEY REPLACE FUEL INJECTORS. HE SAID THEY SELDOM LEAK OR NEED REPAIR. I ASSUMED IT WAS DUE TO THE AGE OF THE CAR, BUT HE DID NOT FEEL LIKE THIS WAS TRUE. WITH HIS COMMENTS, I FELT LIKE MAYBE THERE WAS A DEFECT. AFTER HIS COMMENTS ON HOW DANGEROUS IT WAS TO DRIVE THE CAR, THIS CERTAINLY SEEMED LIKE A SAFETY HAZARD.*AK

SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR
I AM THE 2ND OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE FOR 4 YEARS. I GOT THIS PROBLEM A COUPLE MONTHS A GO. WHEN DRIVING THE BEEPING OF THE FRONT DOOR AND SEATBELT GOES OFF ALL THE TIME. THE HONDA WORLD DEALER CLAIMED THAT THE RECALLED SEATBELT HAS BEEN FIXED. THEY BLAMED THIS IS THE DOOR PROBLEM. IT COSTS TOO MUCH TO FIX AND NOW I'M SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR SINCE I DON'T KNOW THE DOOR OR THE SEATBELT WILL FALL OFF. THE BEEPING GOES OFF EVERY MINUTE AND DRIVING ME CRAZY. *AK
