ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH
CONSUMER RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE 02V12 REGARDING THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE DEALER INFORMED CONSUMER THAT THERE WOULD BE AN EXTRA CHARGE TO RECONNECT THE THE ALARM. THE ALARM WAS INSTALLED AT THE DEALERSHIP AND CONSUMER DOESN'T FEEL A CHARGE SHOULD IMPLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TO COME EQUIPPED WITH AN ALARM BUT DIDN'T. THE DEALER INSTALLED THE ALARM BUT IT WAS AN AFTER MARKET ALARM AND NOT A HONDA ALARM THE REASON FOR THE CHARGE. CONSUMER WOULD LIKE THE SITUATION LOOKED INTO. *JG

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
THE TIMING BELT BROKE 2500 MILES BEFORE FIRST SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE CAUSING THE CAR TO BREAK DOWN ON THE FREEWAY, THANKFULLY WE WERE STUCK IN TRAFFIC OTHERWISE THE RESULTS COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE! THE DEALER IS NOW TELLING ME I NEED A NEW ENGINE FOR 7000.00 DOLLARS. IF I HAD BEEN TOLD TO CHANGE THE BELT SOONER I WOULD HAVE DONE SO. I FOLLOW THE MAINTENANCE SHCEDULE IN MY OWNERS MANUAL BECAUSE IT CLEARLY STATES THAT FAILURE TO DO SO CAN CAUSE INJURY OR EVEN DEATH CAUSED BY AN ACCIDENT DUE TO EQUIPMENT FAILURE. IF THE MANUAL SAYS 105K MILES TO CHANGE THE TIMING BELT, IT SHOULD BE EXPECTED TO LAST UNTIL 105K MILES. WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT A HEADLIGHT HERE, THIS FAILURE CAUSED MY ENTIRE CAR TO SIEZE UP ON ME. THE ENTIRE CAR SHUT OFF INCLUDING STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. THANK GOD I WAS NOT GOING 65MPH. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.*AK

SEAT BELTS:FRONT:ANCHORAGE
THE SEAT BELT IS DESIGNED IN SUCH A WAY AS IT CAN WRAP AROUND THE SEAT BACK TILT ADJUSTMENT, CAUSING THE DRIVERS SEAT BACK TO FLY BACK. THIS HAPPENED TO ME WHILE LEAVING A TOLL BOOTH ON THE INDIANA TOLLWAY. IT APPEARS TO BE HAPPENING MORE OFTEN AS THE VEHICLE AGES AND THE RESTRAINT SYSTEM BECAME WORN. *AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
THE VEHICLE STALLS SUDDENLY FOR NO APPARENT REASON. SOMETIMES WHEN I FIRST START THE ENGINE AND IN IDLE, THE CAR WILL SUDDENLY SHUT OFF BY ITSELF. OTHER TIMES I WILL BE DRIVING ON THE STREET AND THE ENGINE WILL SUDDENLY STOP. SOMETIMES THERE IS AN INDICATION THAT IT WILL STALL BECAUSE MOMENTS BEFORE IT DOES THE RPM GUAGE WILL DROP TO ZERO AND GO BACK TO WHERE IT WAS BEFORE BUT THEN THE CAR WILL STALL. OTHER TIMES THE ENGINE WILL JUST SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. WE HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO HAVE A DIGANOSTIC DONE AT THE HONDA DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. WE HAVE ALSO REPLACED THE COMPUTER MODULE AND THE COILS FROM A PRIVATE AUTO MECHANIC. THE CAR RESTARTS AFTER STALLING BUT IT TAKES UP TO 5 TRYS TO RESTART THE ENGINE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT HAS STALLED ON THE FREEWAY AND IN TRAFFIC. *AK

TIRES:TREAD/BELT
THE SPARE TIRE INCLUDED WITH THE NEW VEHICLE WAS MOUNTED AND USED ON APPROXIMATELY 6/20/01. ON 6/29/01 THE TIRE TREAD BECAME SEPARATED FROM THE REST OF THE TIRE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. THE TREAD SEPARATION CAUSED VEHICLE BODY DAMAGE. TIRE WAS SUBMITTED TO MANUFACTURER FOR ADJUSTMENT. A PARALEGAL FOR THE MANUFACTURER STATED 'SORRY' AND DECLARED THAT AN 'IMPACT BREAK' WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR TREAD SEPARATION AND I WAS DENIED COMPENSATION FOR THE TIRE REPLACEMENT AND VEHICLE DAMAGE. ADDITIONAL INFO AND PHOTO'S ARE AVAILABLE.*AK (DOT NUMBER: EMYTCAF207 TIRESIZE: P205/70R15)

TIRES
FIVE TIRES ARE ORIGINAL EQUIPTMENT AT TIME OF PURCHASE. THE TIRE THAT FAILED WAS ONLY IN USE SINCE APROXIMATELY JANUARY 27, 2001. THE MILEAGE ON THE SPARE IS UNDER 6000 OF DAILY CITY DRIVING AND ABOUT FIVE TRIPS OF OVER 240 MILES. THE FAILED TIRE LOST ITS ENTIRE TREAD LIKE A BANANA PEELING ON A CALIFORNIA INTERSTATE 5 NORTHBOUND AND WAS NOT RECOVERED. THE TREAD CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL WELL AND BUMPER AND RIGHT DOOR PANEL. FOR REASONS THAT ONLY OUR GOD ALMIGHTY KNOWS, THE TIRE DID NOT BLOW OUT AND THE STEEL THREAD HELD IN PLACE. NEITHER THE HONDA DEALERSHIP OR BRIDGESTONE DEALER AT SEARS STORE HAD ANY WARNINGS ON THIS BRIDGESTONE TIRE MODEL EXPERIENCING TREAD SEPARATION. I HAVE DONE SOME LIMITED INTERNET CHECKING REGARDING FIRESTONE/BRIDGESTONE TIRES BUT HAVE NOT FOUND THIS MODEL ON ANY LIST AS YET. I SHARE THIS INFORMATION SO THAT IF ANY OTHER INCIDENTS WITH THIS MODEL ARISE OR HAVE ALREADY BEEN SHARED, THIS PRODUCT SHOULD BE SCRUTINEZED FOR SAFETY HAZARD CONCERN. THE TIRE WAS PROPERLY INFLATED. THE SEARS REPRESENTATIVE WILL REPORT THE INCIDENT TO BRIDGESTONE FOR RESOLUTION OF TIRE FAILURE. IF I CAN BE OF FURTHER ASSISTANCE, PLEASE CONTACT ME. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.*AK (DOT NUMBER: ELYTCAF017 TIRESIZE: 205/70R15)

SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:POWER ADJUST
WE HAVE HAD A RECURRENT PROBLEM WITH THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE SEAT WHERE IF YOU LEAN BACK ON THE SEAT, IT WILL AUTOMATICALLY RELEASE AND BECOME RECUMBANT. IT HAS HAPPENED WITH A MOVEMENT AS SIMPLE AS REACHING BACK TO HAND MY CHILD A DRINK. I AM CONCERNED THAT IF I AM EVER IN AN ACCIDENT THAT THIS SEAT WILL FAIL AND SEVERLY INJURE THE DRIVER AS WELL AS THE PERSON THAT IS SITTING BEHIND HIM/HER. IT HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES AS EARLY AS A FEW THOUSAND MILES ON THE CARE. HAS THIS BEEN REPORTED BY OTHER DRIVERS??*AK
