THIS IS A 50,000 MILE TIRE THAT HAS SEPERATING BELTS AFTER ONLY 26,000 MILES. I FIRST STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THESE TIRES AROUND 12,000 MILES, BUT WAS INFORMED THAT IT WAS A "BALANCING" PROBLEM.

TIRES
ON SEPT. 6, 2000 WHILE DRIVING ON I-10 IN MISSISSIPPI MY RIGHT FRONT TIRE BLEW OUT IN THE FAST LANE WITH MY SELF AND TWO VERY YOUNG CHILDREN ON BOARD. THE CAUSE OF THE BLOW OUT IS UNKNOW. I HAVE MY TIRES ROTATED ON A REGULAR BASIS. THE TIRE STORE HAS COMMENT THAT THE TIRE IS WEARING IN AN UNUSAUL PATTERN FROM THE OUTSIDE IN, INSTEAD OF HOW THEY NORMALLY WEAR THE INSIDE OUT. THE VAN IS IN ALLIGNMENT. HONDA HAS BEEN WORDERFUL IN HELPING ME GET THE TIRE REPLACED. SIX DAYS AFTER THE BLOW OUT I GOT ALL NEW TIRES NOW KELLY SPRINGFIELD DUE TO ANOTHER BLOW OUT SCARE WITH MY REMAING TIRES AND DUE TO THE FACT THEY HAVE WORN SO BADLY DOWN ON THE OUTSIDE OF ALL FOUR TIRES.( DOT NUMBER: P215 TIRE SIZE: 65R16 )

SEAT BELTS:FRONT:ANCHORAGE
THE SEAT BELTS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND DRIVER SIDE LOCATED IN THE MIDDLE ROW OF SEATS IN OUR MINIVAN BOTH FAILED, WITHIN 4 MONTHS OF EACH OTHER. WE HAVE SMALL CHILDREN AND USE CHILD CAR SEATS FOR THEM. MY WIFE KNOWS MORE ABOUT CAR SEATS THAN MOST PEOPLE WHO WORK AT THE CAR DEALERSHIPS, AND WE USE THEM IN THE MANNER THEY WERE INTENDED TO BE USED. YET, BOTH SEAT BELTS FAILED. I'VE NEVER OWNED A VEHICLE WHERE A SEAT BELT HAS FAILED. TWO FAILURES REGARDING THE SAME PART (ALBEIT, ONE IS THE LEFT SIDE AND THE OTHER IS THE RIGHT SIDE) IS UNACCEPTABLE, AND STRONGLY SUGGESTS THERE IS A DEFECT. WE HAD TO WAIT DAYS FOR THE SEAT BELT PART TO ARRIVE AT THE HONDA DEALER, THUS WE WERE FORCED TO DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT WAS NOT SAFE. WE SIMPLY DID NOT ALLOW OUR CHILDREN TO USE THE FAILED SEAT BELTS. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE RETRACTOR SOMEHOW GETS STUCK, AND THE SEAT BELT IS COMPLETELY INOPERATIVE. AGAIN, 2 FAILURES OF THE SAME PART IS MORE THAN A COINCIDENCE. ARE THE SEAT BELTS SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE? WHAT HAPPENS WHEN/IF THERE'S A CRASH. THE HONDA DEALERS CLAIM THERE THEY HAVE NOT NOTICED A PROBLEM WITH THE SEATBELTS, BUT I FIND THAT HARD TO BELIEVE. SOUNDS LIKE A COVERUP.*AK

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
WE CONSIDER THE CAR TO BE A LEMON AS IT HAS BEEN BACK TO THE SERVICE STATION MANY MANY TIMES WITH NO RESOLUTION. THE GREATEST DANGER IS THE INOPERABLE DOORS AND LOCKS THAT INTERMITANTLY ENGAGE AND DISENGAGE. THIS CAN BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH OUR SMALL CHILDREN BEING LOCK IN A CAR. THE DEALER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO REMEDY THIS ISSUE AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
NEW MODEL YEAR IN '99. GAS TANK IS PLASTIC. HAS A "MINOR" SCRATCH DOWN THE LENGTH OF THE TNK, CAUSE UNKNOWN. RESULTED IN SEEPAGE FROM THE FUEL TANK. NTICEC STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE AND BROUGHT TO DEALER (NOT WHERE ORIGINALLY PURCHASED). ASVISED BY DEALER THT WAS DUE TO A ROAD HAZARD AND TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE EASE WITH WHICH THE TANK WAS DAMAGED AND CONCERNED THAT THE NEXT TIME THERE MIGHT BE A FIRE OR FATALITY. THERE IS NOT A SHIELD OR OTHER PREVENTATIVE MECHANISM ON THE ROADSIDE, UNDERSIDE OF THE VEHICVLE TO PREVENT THIS FROM RE-OCCURRING AND THE VISIBLE DAMAGE IS NEGLIGIBLE...SINCE IS A NEW MODEL YEAR, I DONT WANT TO BE THE ONE WHO MAKES THE NIGHTLY NEWS AS THE FIRST FIRE FATALITY.!! THE DEALER SO FAR HAS NOT CONCEEDED THAT THERE IS A DESIGN PROBLEM. RATHER HAS QUOTED THEIR ENGINEERS AS HAVING SAID THAT THIS VAN HAS PASSED ALL GOVERNMENT TESTS ANT THERE IS A SHIELD BUT IS LOCATED ON THE VAN SIDE NOT THE UNDERSIDE OF THE TANK. FRANKLY THIS DOES NOT MAKE ME FEEL COMFORTABLE THAT IT WILL OFFER MUCH IN THE WAY OF PROTECTION SHOULD THIS RE-OCCUR. AGAIN, THE DAMAGE IS BARELY VISIBLE TO THE EYE. A SLIGHT SCRATDH TAHT IS NOT DEEP ENOUGH TO CAUSE A LEAK, BU RATHER A SEEPING OF GAS. NO PUNCTURE, DENTS, BANGS ETC APPEAR ON THE TANK...HELP! THANKSDHEIDPS THEBRRBVEUAAHA ROAD HASSEOD
