POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. WE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE IN 1999, VEHICLE HAD 35 MILES. FIRST BUYER RETURNED VEHICLE BECAUSE OF UNKNOWN TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. AT 31,000 MILES, HAD PROBLEMS SHIFTING INTO SECOND GEAR. MAKING A CLUNK AND HUMMING NOISE, THEN LOOSES POWER AND WHEN PUT IN REVERSE, THERES A CLUNK. TRANSMISSION WAS CHANGED WITHOUT QUESTION. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME, 9/25/01, VEHICLE MAKES A HUMMING NOISE WHEN TRAVELLING EVEN AT 25 MPH GETS WORSE ON FREEWAY, DOESN'T SHIFT INTO 4TH GEAR, LOOSES POWER. ENGINE HUMS LIKE IT'S HARD AT WORK. HEARS CLUNK IN REVERSE GEAR. TOOK VEHICLE INTO ANOTHER DEALER IN RCH. CUCAMONGA. INFORMED THEM OF THE HISTORY. ASST. SERVICE MGR. SAID A CLUTCH SILINOID WOULD BE REPLACED AND 3 TRANSMISSION FLUSHES WERE RECOMMENDED. AFTER FLUSHES WERE DONE, PROBLEM STILL EXISTED. DEALER AGREED TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION BUT THAT IT WAS ON BACK ORDER AND DOESN'T HAVE AN ESTIMATED TIME OF ARRIVAL. TRANSMISSION HAS YET TO BE REPLACED. VERY UNSATISFIED AND FEAR OF SERIOUS ACCIDENT!!!*AK

SEAT BELTS:FRONT:ANCHORAGE
DURING A CHILD BELT SAFETY CHECK DONE IN MY COMMUNITY IT WAS FOUND THAT THE SEAT BELT MY 8 1/2 MO . OLD CHILD WAS USING DID NOT WORK. THE SEAT BELT WAS LOOSE ,AND THE REASON WAS THAT IT WASN'T RETRACTING. THE SEAT BELT WAS BROKEN. IF I HAD'NT GONE TO HAVE THE SEATS CHECKED I WOULD NEVER HAVE KNOWN THAT IT WASN'T WORKING RIGHT AND MY CHILD COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
NOTICED VEHICLE LEAKING OIL APPROX. 2 1/2 WEEKS AFTER PURCHASE. APPOINTMENT MADE FOR THE FOLLOWING WEEK. SEAL WHERE OIL PAN ATTACHES TO ENGINE WAS NOT PROPERLY SEALED OR DEFECTIVE. THIS WAS REPLACED ON AUGUST 8, 2001. APPROX. 2 1/2 WEEKS AFTER THIS I NOTICED MORE OIL LEAKING FROM VEHICLE IN GREATER QUANTITY THAN THE FIRST INCIDENT. CONTACTED DEALERSHIP AND MANUFACTURER AND VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP AWAITING PARTS SINCE 8/31/01. I AM TOLD THIS TIME IT IS THE REAR MAIN SEAL (CRANK SEAL BETWEEN ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION) THAT IS LEAKING AND THE TRANSMISSION WILL HAVE TO BE PULLED TO COMPLETE THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY 1030 MILES ON IT AT THIS TIME. ***DEALERSHIP WHERE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED WAS NOTIFIED OF PROBLEMS, HOWEVER VEHICLE IS BEING SERVICED BY LEESBURG HONDA-1 CARDINAL PARK DRIVE S.E. LEESBURG, VA 20175 703-777-1982. *AK

BOTH ELECTRIC SLIDING DOORS WOULD NOT CLOSE ELECTRONICALLY. WHEN ELECTRONIC DOOR IS DIABLED, AND DOORS CLLOSED MANUALLY --- THE DOORS OPEN WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. ALSO DOOR CLOSES ON IT'S OWN WITHOUT INTERVENTION MAKING IT VERY DANGEROUS FOR KIDS. ALSO DOORS SAFETY SYSTEM (NOT CLOSING AND CRUSHING SOMEONE WHEN IN THE PATH OF CLOSING ELECTRONIC DOOR) DOES NOT WORK.*AK
