WHILE DRIVING IN AN INTERSECTION DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE CHECK LIGHT CAME ON, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO IDLE NEAR ZERO CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. MANUFACTURE WAS NOTIFIED AND THEY STATED IT WILL TAKE 3-6 MONTHS TO REPAIR BECAUSE HONDA MANUFACTURE HAS TO DEVELOP A PART IN JAPAN BECAUSE THE PART IS NOT AVAILABLE. WILL NOTIFY THE EPA OFFICE.

TIRES:TREAD/BELT
I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT A SPEED RANGING BETWEEN 75-80 MPH WHEN I HEARD A LOUD SOUND FROM THE BACK END OF MY CAR. IT STARTED TO PULL SO I TRIED TO CAREFULLY MOVE FROM THE LEFT LANE OF THE HIGHWAY TO THE EMERGENCY LANE AT THE RIGHT WHEN MY CAR DID A 360 AND AFTER NARROWLY AVOIDING A HEAD ON COLLISION WITH A SEMI, ENDED UP IN THE DITCH ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE TREAD HAD SEPARATED FROM THE TIRE AND DAMAGED THE FRAME AS WELL AS PAINT ON THE BACK BUMPER OF MY CAR. I WAS ABLE TO GET ASSISTANCE TO THE NEAREST FIRESTONE DEALER, WHO FOUND UPON INSPECTION THAT THE TREAD ON MY REMAINING TIRES WAS LIFTING AS WELL AND ASSUMED THAT ONE MORE WOULD COMPLETELY SEPARATE BEFORE I DROVE THE REMAINING 50 MILES BACK TO PHOENIX. MY CAR HAS BEEN PROPERLY MAINTAINED AND TIRES WERE ROTATED AT APPROPRIATE INTERVALS. THE TREAD WAS NOT WORN AND SHOULDN'T HAVE SEPARATED WITH THAT LEVEL OF USE. IT WAS ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING AND I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THESE TIRES WEREN'T ON THE RECALL LIST!*AK (DOT NUMBER: W27J)

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:INTERIOR/UNDER DASH
WHEN I TURN THE IGNITION ON, I SOMETIMES HEAR A SPARK BUZZ COMING FROM THE INTERIOR OF THE DISPLAY PANEL OF THE SPEEDOMETER, ETC. I AM NOT SURE THIS IS NORMAL. IT COULD BE A WIRING CONNECTION PROBLEM. UNABLE TO TAKE IT TO LOCAL HONDA DEALER OR ASK QUESTIONS. THEY ARE VERY UNHELPFUL. HAVE DRIVEN THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES, AND NEVER HAVE HEARD SUCH SPARK BUZZ NOISE COMING FROM THE DASHBOARD WHEN TURNING IGNITION ON. HONDA CORPORATION HAS NOT ANSWERED MY INQUIRY.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
I WAS TRAVELING AT LESS THAN 15 MILES PER HOUR. THE TRAFFIC WAS COMING TO A STOP. WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES IN ORDER TO STOP, THEY DID NOT WORK. I BEGAN PUMPING THEM, BUT THAT DID NOT WORK RIGHT AWAY. AFTER A FEW TIMES, THE BRAKES FINALLY WORKED, BUT IT WAS TOO LATE. I WAS ALREADY ABOUT TO REAR END THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THIS HAPPENED 2 WEEKS BEFORE WHEN A RELATIVE BORROWED THE CAR. HE ALMOST HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, BUT THEY WORKED AFTER HE PUMPED THEM. HONDA DOES NOT CARE. THEY HAD THE BRAKES TESTED AND SAID THEY WERE FINE. I DON'T CARE ABOUT A HUGE LAW SUIT. I JUST DO NOT WANT THIS TO HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE. I WANT JUSTICE ANDTHE MONEY I HAVE LOST FOR THE DEDUCTIBLE, THE RENTAL CAR FEES, AND OTHER LOSSES. *AK
