SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS
CLEAR DRIVING CONDITIONS. NO WATER, OIL OR MUD ON PAVEMENT. DRIVER WAS ATTENTIVE. I HAD STOPPED IN TURN BAY, CROSSED OVER THREE TRAFFIC LANES TO SIDE STREET. THEN IMMEDIATELY MADE A LEFT TURN INTO PARKING LOT AND A RIGHT TURN INTO PARKING SPACE. AS I ENTERED PARKING SPACE THE BRAKE PEDDLE WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT ANY DECELERATION, JUMPED A SMALL CURB AND HIT A TREE. I NOTICED AN ODOR OF BURNING OIL OR RUBBER AT IMPACT. THE HONDA DEALER CHECKED THE BRAKES AND COULD NOT FIND ANY DEFECT AND THEN DENIED ANY LIABILITY FOR ACCIDENT. SINCE THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM, AND I KNOW THE BRAKE PEDDLE WENT DOWN TO THE FLOOR. I AM AFRAID TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AS IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN AND BE A MORE SERIOUS ACCIDENT. OTHERS HAVE REPORTED THE SAME PROBLEM TO NHTSA. THE DEALER REFUSED TO BUY THE VAN BACK AT ANY PRICE EVEN AFTER THE DAMAGE WAS RESTORED TO ITS ORIGINAL CONDITION. DT

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
SECOND TRANSMISSION FAILURE. TWO MONTHS AGO, HAD UNEXPECTED DOWN SHIFT FROM 4TH TO 2ND ON HIGHWAY (LUCKILY DEVOID OF TRAFFIC). HONDA REPAIRED TRANSMISSION BY REPLACING SOLENOID SWITCH, NOT REPLACING TRANSMISSION. AGAIN, WHILE DRIVING (THIS TIME ACCELERATING) TRANSMISSION SLIPPED, UNEXPECTEDLY ALLOWING NO POWER TO DRIVE WHEELS DURING ACCELERATION. LUCKILY WAS ON A DESERTED ROAD, NO OTHER TRAFFIC. IF I WAS PULLING OUT INTO HIGHWAY (AS WE HAVE TO DO TO LEAVE OUR NEIGHBORHOOD) RESULTS COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC, AS UNEXPECTED INABILITY TO ACCELERATE/MOVE INTO TRAFFIC FLOW WOULD MOST CAUSE TRUCKS BARELLING DOWN HILL TO HIT US. LUCKY THIS HAPPENED 2 MINUTES AND 1/4 MILE EARLIER THAN THAT. OTHERS MAY NOT BE SO LUCKY. DT

SEAT BELTS:FRONT:BUCKLE ASSEMBLY
ON NOV 2ND, MY 5 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER INSERTED HER FINGER INTO THE BUCKLE OF THE SEAT BELT NEXT TO HER. HER FINGER BECAME LODGED INTO THE OPENING AND WOULD NOT COME OUT. SHE WAS HYSTERICAL AND BECAME ILL IN THE BACK SEAT. WE TRIED UNSUCCESSFULLY TO REMOVE HER FINGER. IT WAS TOO SWOLLEN. WE HAD TO CONTACT THE CHICAGO FIRE DEPARTMENT. THEY HAD TO CUT THE SEAT BELT OUT OF THE CAR. THEY WERE GOING TO HAVE TO CUT THE BUCKLE OF HER FINGER, WHEN A INGENIOUS FIREMAN DECIDED TO WRAP HER FINGER WITH DENTAL FLOSS. AFTER ABOUT 15 MINUTES HE WAS ABLE TO REMOVE HER FINGER FROM THE BUCKLE. I AM DISAPPOINTED THAT HONDA ENGINEERS HAVE DESIGNED A SEAT BELT WITH SUCH A SMALL OPENING IN WHICH A CHILD'S FINGER COULD BECOME STUCK. I HAVE NOTICED ON SOME OTHER VEHICLES THAT THIS HOLE IS MUCH LARGER. GRANTED, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT A CHILD SHOULD NOT DO, BUT AT THE AGE OF 5 THEY DO NOT KNOW ANY BETTER. WE SINCERELY BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE REDESIGNED SO AS TO AVOID THE EXPERIENCE THAT WE HAD WITH THIS. **** DIMS 11 IVOQ ENTRY POSTED AFTER 12/12/02 CUT-OVER TO ARTEMIS*****769326.*AK *TR
