THE CAR SURGED OVER A MEDIAN SEPARATING THE PARKING SPACE ROWS AND STRUCK TWO OTHER CARS IN THE ROW FACING THE ROW I WAS PULLING INTO. MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE THE WHOLE TIME, BUT THE CAR KEPT ACCELERATING. I CONTACTED MY DEALER TO SEE IF THERE HAD BEEN ANY SIMILAR REPORTS. THEY REPORTED NONE.*AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
STARTING IN SEPT. OF 2001 MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT CHANGE FROM 3RD TO 4TH GEAR. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, TOOK IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC. AFTER CHECKING IT WITH HIS COMPUTER HE FOUND NO PROBLEM, RESET THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. HE RESEARCHED THE VEHICLE AND TOLD ME THAT HONDA WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH TRANSMISSIONS WHEN IT WAS HUMID!?!?! SO I THOUGHT THAT I WOULD SEE IF IT CONTINUED TO DO THIS WHEN IT COOLED OFF. IT HAS AND IT HAS GOTTEN TO THE POINT THAT EVERY MORNING IT WILL NOT CHANGE GEARS UNTIL I HAVE DRIVEN APPROXIMATELY 1/2 MILE, STOP AND GO AGAIN. EVEN THEN SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T CHANGE.*AK

AIR BAGS
THE "SRS" SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED LIT. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC (A HONDA SPECIALIST) WHOSE COMPUTER TESTING INDICATED THAT THE SRS CONTROL UNIT WAS DEFECTIVE.HE STATED THAT HE HAD SEEN THIS PROBLEM NUMEROUS TIMES AND SUGGESTED I SPEAK TO HONDA HEADQUARTERS, WHICH I DID. PLEASE NOTE THAT A FRIEND WITH THE SAME MODEL CAR HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH SRS LIGHT STAYING ON.HAVING EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM AND CONCERNS OVER SAFETY ISSUES, I WAS TOLD THAT MY WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED AND THAT I MUST TAKE IT TO THE DEALER AND PAY FOR THIS VERY COSTLY PART ($600+), AND THAT THEY MUST MAKE DIAGNOSIS THERE FOR HONDA TO CONSIDER "GOOD WILL" REIMBURSEMENT. WHEN I CALLED THE SERVICE DEPT., THE WOMAN ANSWERING THE PHONE SAID SHE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH HER HONDA AND HAD TO HAVE THIS PART REPLACED! UPON BRING CAR INTO DEALERSHIP, THE DIAGNOSIS WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE SRS CONTROL UNIT NEEDED REPLACEMENT,AS THE AIRBAGS WERE NOT FUNCTIONAL. I PRESENTED DOCUMENTATION AS TO MY METICULOUS SERVICE RECORD WITH THIS VEHICLE AND ARGUED THAT THIS PART SHOULD NOT FAIL, NOT HAVING BEEN A REGULAR USE PART AND CERTAINLY SHOULD LAST MORE THAN 50,000 MILES. THEY FINALLY AGREED TO PAY HALF OF THE PART, BUT NOT TAX OR LABOR. MY TOTAL EXPENSE FOR THE DIAGNOSIS AND SERVICE COST $450.00. I WAS QUITE DISSATISFIED AND ATTEMPTED TO PURSUE THIS WITH HONDA AMERICA ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, EXPRESSING MY CONCERNS THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEMATIC PART IN NUMEROUS HONDA VEHICLES, FROM ANECDOTAL ACCOUNTS, AND THAT I FELT THIS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE AND ONE THAT THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR. THEY DID NOT WISH TO PURSUE THE ISSUE WITH MY MECHANIC OR STUDY THE OLD PART TO EVALUATE THE DEFECTIVE MECHANISM. THE REP AT HONDA AMERICA SAID "YOU DIDN'T HAVE ALL YOUR MAINTENANCE AT THE DEALERSHIP" WHICH IN MY VIEW SHOULD NOT AFFECT THIS PARTICULAR PART'S FAILURE AND WHICH DISREGARDS THE CAREFUL AND TIMELY SERVICE THIS CAR HAS GOTTEN. THEY SIMPLY SAID, "IT'S PAST YOUR WARRANTY PERIOD AND IT IS A 5 YEAR OLD CAR!".*
