ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
THE CAR MAY START ON THE FIRST TRY, OR ON THE FIFTIETH. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN MOST FREQUENTLY ON HOT DAYS. IT CRANKS, BUT DOES NOT CATCH. I BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM IS COVERED EITHER IN TSB93028, JULY '93, OR ATRATB132, SEPT. '92, OR BOTH. HOWEVER, THE FAILURE IS NOT LISTED IN THE NHTSA SITE. I BOUGHT THE CAR USED, FROM AN ACQUAINTANCE, NOT FROM A DEALER. CAN I GET IT FIXED FREE OF CHARGE? THANKS, C. CANNON. *AK

STRUCTURE:BODY:BUMPERS
I HAD THE BUMPER REPLACED BY HONDA OF HOLLYWOOD THROUGH THE OTHER PARTYS INSURANCE, HOWEVER IT TOOK ALMOST 2MONTHS TO HAVE DONE BECAUSE THEY WERE GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND. I HAD THE BUMPER REPLACED 9/11/00 AND RICHARD IN THE HOLLYWOOD HONDA AUTOBODY SHOP TELLS ME THAT THERE SHOULD BE AN OPENING WHERE THE BUMPER AND BODY OF THE CAR MEET. I TOLD HIM WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR IT WAS LIKE THAT THE TWO MET CLOSELY AND NOW HE IS TRYING TO CONVINCE ME THAT ITS WAS NEVER LIKE THAT AND TO LOOK AT ALL THE OTHER HONDAS THEY ARE NOT CLOSE TOGETHER. AT THIS POINT 2 MONTHS OF BEING DUMPED ON, THE FARMERS INSURANCE ADJUSTER FROM THE GUILTY PARTY MADE A DEAL WITH RICHARD FROM MY INITIAL PRECISE ESTIMATE OF $895.00 TO HONDA'S $413.00 AND THE BUMPER IS WORSE OFF.
