SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:POWER ADJUST
CONSUMER STATES THAT THE DRIVERS SEAT HAD A CLUNK WHEN DRIVING OVER BUMPS OR WHEN SHIFTING WEIGHT, CONSUMER REALIZED THIS WAS DUE TO EXCESS PLAY IN A SCISSOR/HINGE MECHANISM WHICH CAUSED THE RIGHT INBOUND BACK BOTTOM OF THE SEAT TO MOVE ABOUT 1/4 OF AN INCH, DEALER REPLACED THE ADJUSTER ASSEMBLY, HOWEVER PROBLEM STILL EXISTS, CONSUMER IS REQUESTING THAT THE POWER ADJUSTABLE HEIGHT/TRACK MECHANISM BE REPLACED WITH THE NON HEIGHT ADJUSTABLE UNIT. *SLC

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH
I BELIEVE A FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH IS CAUSING THIS AND IT IS CURRENTLY BEING RECALLED ON MODELS 1997 AND NEWER. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THIS RECALL EXTENDED AT LEAST TO THE 1995 MODEL. MY CAR EXPERIENCES THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS. I'LL BE TRAVELING ALONG AND THE ENGINE JUST QUIETLY SHUTS DOWN. I'M AFRAID OF DRIVING IT FOR FEAR THAT THE ENGINE MIGHT QUIT WHEN I TRY TO PASS ANOTHER CAR OR MAKE A TURN AT AN INTERSECTION. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS. JASON FRITZ. *AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL:CATALYTIC CONVERTOR
ENGINE CHECK LIGHT CAME ON AND OWNER TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP. DEALER REPLACED OXYGEN SENSOR. A COUPLE OF THOUSAND MILES LATER, CATALYTIC CONVERTER FAILED. *AK WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED ON A DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE. THE RESULT WAS THAT IT WAS SOMETHING WITH THE CATALYTIC CONVERTOR, BUT THAT IT WAS USUALLY THE OXYGEN SENSOR. THE OXYGEN SENSOR WAS CHANGED. ABOUT 200 MILES LATER THE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. CONSUMER TOOK TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE CATALYTIC CONVERTORS IN THESE VEHICLES. *JG

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
ABS LIGHT CAME ON. DEALER SAYS MODULATOR IS LEAKING AND MALFUNCTIONING ALTHOUGH ABS LIGHT GOES OUT WHEN FLUID IS ADDED. I BELIEVE MODULATORS ARE BEING REPLACED WHEN THE ONLY THING WRONG IS THE LEAK. COST IS $1100 TO REPLACE. A SAFETY FEATURE SUCH AS ABS SHOULD NOT BE FAILING. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL OR FIXED AT THE MANUFACTURER'S COST.*AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
HEARD A GRINDING NOISE FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR. UPON INVESTIGATION AT THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID IT NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION. I HAVE LOST FAITH IN THE QUALITY OF HONDA. I AM GOING GET THE NEW TRANSMISSION PUT IN TOMORROW. I WILL POST ABOUT THAT EXPERIENCE LATER (I HOPE IT IS GOOD). HOWEVER, BECAUSE MY WARRANTY IS GOING TO RUN OUT IN LESS THAN 3000 MILES, I NEED AN EXTENDED POWER TRAIN WARRANTY FROM HONDA. IF HONDA DOES NOT COME AROUND, I WILL TRADE THIS CARR AND NEVER BUY ANOTHER HONDA IN MY LIFE AND I WILL NEVER RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE I DO NOT CONSIDER AS MY ENEMY.*AK
