SUSPENSION:FRONT
THIS VEHICLE IS OUT OF ALIGNMENT IT HAD THE TIRES ROTATED AFTER 5 DAYS AND THEY ARE AGAIN CUPPED.THEY TRIED TO FIX THE ALIGNMENT BUT I WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT FIX IT WITHOUT A CHAMFER SHIM KIT WHCIH IS NOT ACCEPTABLE TO ME. THIS MEANS THERE IS FRONT END DAMAGE PER THE MECHANICS I SPOKE WITH. THE HOOD HAD SPOTS WHICH WERE TO BE BUFFED OUT BUT THE DEALER COULD NOT BUFF THEM OUT AND PAINTED IT INSTEAD WITHOUT MY APPROVAL. I NOW DO NOT HAVE A FACTORY PAINT JOB. THE 2 MIRRORS HAD SPOTS WHICH MEANT THAT THE MIRRORS NEADED TO BE REPLACED. ALSO THE DOOR STRIPS AND THE INTERIOR DOOR PIECES HAD TO ALSO BE REPLACED. THE LAST STRAW WAS THE TRUCK LEASKS AT THE BACK WHEN IT WAS WASHED BY ME. I HAVE NO FAITH IN THE VEHICLE OR THE DEALER TO RESOLVE THESE PROBLEMS. *AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKERS
THE FUSE FOR THE ELECTRIC DOOR LOCKS BLOWS ON AN INTERMITTENT BASIS (USUALLY WITHIN 4-30 DAYS). THE FAILURE DISABLES THE ELECTRIC DOOR LOCKS AS WELL AS THE VEHICLE ALARM SYSTEM, KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM AND "ALARM PANIC BUTTON" FEATURE. VEHICLE IS DRIVEN BY A FEMALE (MY WIFE). KEYLESS/ALARM WERE MANDATORY SAFETY FEATURES THAT WE REQUIRED FOR VEHICLE PURCHASE (STANDARD EQUIPMENT ON THIS MODEL). VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN 7 TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM. HONDA HAS BEEN UNABLE TO REPAIR. HONDA HAS REPLACED MASTER DOOR LOCK SWITCH AND FOUND/REPAIRED A WIRING HARNESS DEFECT. PROBLEM CONTINUES UNCORRECTED (KEYLESS AND ALARM SYSTEM ARE THEREFORE NOT RELIABLE). HONDA HAS ADDED 12 OR MORE ADDITIONAL FUSES TO THE VEHICLE THIS HAS NOT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM.

NEW DUNLOP FRONT TIRE HAS SEVERE CUPPING; IT IS NOW AFFECTING THE FRONTAL STABILITY OF THE CYCLE, AS THE HANDLE BARS SHAKE (WHEN HELD WITH 2 HANDS) AT SOME SPEEDS. I CONTACTED DUNLOP 4X, AND VIA A DEALER ... THE CUPPING IS NOT SO SEVERE (AND SO IS THE INSTABILITY) THAT ITS HARD TO GO AROUND TURNS.

STEERING:LINKAGES:TIE ROD ASSEMBLY, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:HATCHBACK/LIFTGATE:LOCK
THE LEFT REAR DOOR LOCK DOES NOT UNLOCK WITH THE OTHER DOORS; IT COMES UP HALFWAY BUT DOES NOT ALLOW OUTSIDE ENTRY. IT IS NECESSARY TO PULL UP THE INSIDE DOOR LOCK ALL THE WAY TO ALLOW ACESS FROM THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CENTRAL LOCKING SYSTEM (ACTIVATED BY THE DRIVER'S DOOR) ACTIVATES BOTH RIGHT SIDE DOORS BUT NOT THE LEFT REAR DOOR. ALSO, THE ENGINE CANNOT BE STARTED ON THE FIRST TRY. THE STARTER ENGAGES BUT THE ENGINE DOES NOT FIRE. ON THE SECOND TRY, HOWEVER, THE ENGINE WILL START. ALL MY OTHER VEHICLES START WITH "ONE CLICK"; REQUIRING ONLY MINIMAL CRANKING. THE ENGINE, A 3.2 LITER V-6, MAKES A CLICKING SOUND WHEN RUNNING; ALMOST LIKE A SUBDUED DIESEL ENGINE. *AK
