VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD, VISIBILITY:GLASS, SIDE/REAR, VISIBILITY:SUN/MOON ROOF ASSEMBLY
THERE APPEARS TO BE A DEFECT IN THE TEMPERLITE GLASS ON FOUR OF THE WINDOWS DESCRIBED. IT IS INSIDE THE TWO PANES OF GLASS WITH NO APPARANT CRACKS IN GLASS OR MOLDING. THE INSIDE OF THE GLASS, OR THE ADHESIVE MATERIAL USED IN BETWEEN THE GLASS IS BUBBLING WHICH CAUSES POOR VISION. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY INOPERABLE BECAUSE OF FEAR OF POOR VISIBILITY. I HAVE NOTIFIED HONDA AND AM PROVIDING THEM WITH A LETTER OF LIABILITY AND INFORMING THEM THAT I WILL BE CONTACTING SEVERAL CONSUMER SAFETY ADMINISTRATIONS AND COMMISSIONS SINCE THEY REFUSE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY PURCHASED FOR THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A SEVERE PROBLEM WHICH SEEMS TO BE POSSIBLY CAUSED BY SOME TYPE OF CONTAMINATION OR VAPORS PRESENT WHEN THE GLASS WAS CONSTRUCTED, STORED, OR INSTALLED IN THE VEHICLE.

THE FLOOR MAT ON THE DRIVER SIDE GETS IN THE WAY OF THE BRAKES AND THE GAS PETALS. SOMETIMES IT KEEPS THE GAS PETAL DOWN. SOMETIMES, IT KEEPS THE BRAKE PETAL DOWN. IS THERE A RECALL ON THE FLOOR MATS. THESE MATS WERE PURCHASED NEW WITH THE VEHICLE. THE AIR CONDITIONER BROKE TWICE. I HAD TO PURCHASE A NEW COMPRESSOR, NEW EVAP COIL, NEW FAN -- I RELPACED EACH COMPONTENT TWICE.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:MANIFOLD/HEADER/MUFFLER/TAIL PIPE
I BEGAN THE PROCESS OF HAVING THE CAR REPAIRED ON AUGUST 14, 2000. BY TODAY, AUGUST 18TH, THE HONDA DEALER HAD MENTIONED TO THE REPAIR SHOP THAT IAM HAVING THE WORK DONE AT THAT THEY HAD ORDERED 6 OF THESE MANIFOLDS. ON MONDAY WHEN I HAD CALLED THE DEALER FOR PARTS, THEY DID NOT HAVE THE MANIFOLD IN STOCK. I BELIVE THAT THIS COULD BE A SIGN OF A MAJOR DEFECT. ALTHOUGH IT DOES NOT DIRECTLY POSE A THREAT TO ME PHYSICALLY, IT COULD ALLOW EXHUAUST FUMES INTO THE VEHICLE. I WOULD LIKE TO PRESUE THE MANUFACTURE AND ATTEMPT TO HAVE THEM REPLACE THE PART.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:INTERIOR/UNDER DASH
I THINK THE AIR/HEAT CONTROLS HAVE A SHORT IN THEM - THE DEALERSHIP LOOKED AT THIS IN MARCH OF 98 AND THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO PINPOINT THE PROBLEM. THE LIGHTS COME ON DAILY IN THE AIR/HEAT SECTION AND THEN ONCE I MOVE THE LEVER TO MAKE THE AIR LESS COLD - THE LIGHTS IN THE AIR/HEAT AREA WILL DIM OR COMPLETELY CUT OFF. IS THERE A DEFECT IN THIS PART?*AK

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHEN PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE OVER THE CURB. THE CAR CONTINUED ACCELERATING HITTING A FENCE AND A TREE BEFORE RETURNING TO THE PARKING LOT. THE VEHICLE STOPPED ONLY WHEN EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS ENGAGED. DURING THE INCIDENT ALL SYSTEMS IN THE CAR APPEARED TO BE INEFFECTIVE INCLUDING BRAKING SYSTEMS. THE BEST ANALOGY IS TO THAT OF AN AMUSEMENT PARK RIDE. THERE WERE NO MECHANICAL DEFECTS FOUND WITH THE CAR AFTERWARDS. THE CAR WAS RECALLED PREVIOUSLY FOR FLOOR MAT/ACCELERATOR PROBLEMS AND WAS FIXED ACCORDING TO HONDA'S SPECIFICATIONS. THIS ACCIDENT OCCURED WELL AFTER THESE ALTERATIONS WERE MADE.*AK
