AIR BAGS
MY CAR IS TOTALED BY ANOTHER DRIVERS NEGLIGENCE; I WAS TOLD BY A LAWYER THAT BECAUSE MY SON AND I WERE NOT KILLED IN THE ACCIDENT WE COULD NOT FILE A CLAIM AGAINST THE MANUFACTOR FOR THE AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOYING EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A HEAD ON COLLLISON. I CALLED THE MANUFACTOR AND ALL THE LADY TOLD ME WAS THAT SHE WOULD SEND ME A "BROCHURE" ON HOW THE AIRBAGS WORKED. I KNOW MY SON AND I WERE EXTREMELY LUCKY IN THIS ACCIDENT, HOWEVER I STILL THINK SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE ATTITUDE I HAVE RECEIVED. I STILL HAVE TO LIVE WITH THE PAIN OF HEARING MY SONS VOICE SCREAM IN TERROR OVER AND OVER AGAIN IN MY HEAD AND I THINK ITS ONE OF THE WORST THINGS A MOTHER HAS TO GO THROUGH WITH HER CHILD.

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE REMOTE DOOR LOCKS STOPPED WORKING WHEN THE CAR HAD BEEN SITTING FOR A WEEK IN THE DRIVEWAY. APPARENTLY A "CRYSTAL" WHICH CONTROLS THIS BROKE. THERE WAS NO RESON ON MY PART WHY IT SHOULD HAVE BROKEN. I DON'T SEE WHY I SHOULD PAY $450 FOR SOMETHING THAT IS A DEFECT AND HAS BEEN FIXED NUMEROUS TIMES BY MY MECHANIC IN CIVICS OF THE SAME YEAR. ALSO, THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW HAS FAILED IN NUMEROUS CIVICS FROM 1996 ACCORDING TO MY MECHANIC, LEADING US TO BELIEVE THAT BOTH OF THESE PROBLEMS ARE DEFECTS.

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
TRANSMISSION IS MAKING FUNNY NOISES. TECHNICIAN AT SAN FRANCISCO HONDA STATED THAT "HONDA MAKES 500,000 CIVICS EVERY YEAR. YOU JUST HAPPENED TO GET ONE WITH A BAD TRANSMISSION." SUGGESTED THAT I CONTACT HONDA TO FIX THE TRANSMISSION. HONDA CORPORATE REFUSED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. TRANSMISSION MAKES A GRINDING NOISE WHEN ACCELERATING IN FIRST AND SECOND GEARS. CONTINUES TO GRIND WHEN IN HIGHER GEARS.

STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS
REAR BEAM WHICH SUPPORTS BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT REAR "A" FRAMES IS RUSTED MORE THAN 3/4 THROUGH CAUSING BEAM TO BEND IN THE CENTER CAUSING REAR WHEELS TO COME OUT OF ALIGNMENT, ALSO WHEN THE PART TOTALLY FAILS BOTH OF MY REAR WHEELS WILL COLLAPSE. I HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH A HONDA EXCEPT IT WAS THE FRONT BEAM THAT RUSTED THROUGH. I LIVE IN THE NORTHEAST WHERE WE USE SALT IN THE WINTER. CAN I GET THE DEALER TO FIX THIS SAFETY PROBLEM?
