CHILD SEAT:HARNESS BUCKLE:INFANT
I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE CAR SEAT WE HAD BEEN USING WITH MY DAUGHTER. IT WAS A COSCO CAR SEAT/HIGH BACK BOOSTER MODEL NUMBER 02-442-JUB. SHE IS WIGGLING THE "EASY TO USE" ONE PIECE HARNESS RETAINER UNTIL THE SEAT BELT IS FREED AND THEREFORE OFFERING HER NO PROTECTION. SHE HAD DONE THIS AT SEVEN MONTHS OF AGE. CHILDREN AT THIS AGE HAVE NO CONCEPT OF RIGHT AND WRONG AND THEREFORE CANNOT BE TAUGHT TO "NOT" UNHOOK THE BELT. WE DID HOWEVER TRY TO DIVERT HER ATTENTION TO OTHER OBJECTS WHICH WORKED FOR A FEW MINUTES ONLY. I WROTE TO COSCO WANTING TO INFORM THEM OF THIS DANGER AND I WAS TOLD I SHOULD USE "POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT" TO KEEP MY CHILD FROM UNHOOKING HER BELT. ??? POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT AT 7 MONTHS OLD? NEEDLESS TO SAY THAT IS AN IMPOSSIBLE "IDEAL". I FEEL THIS SEAT SHOULD HAVE A DIFFERENT MECHANISM FOR THE CHEST COMPONENT OF THE 5 POINT HARNESS. THAT ALONE WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO PROTECT "OUR" CHILDREN. *AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
A FEW MINUTES AFTER LEAVING A RETAIL BUSINESS, THE BUSINESSMAN CALLED ME ON MY CELL PHONE TO ADVISE ME THERE WAS A LARGE AMOUNT OF FRESH OIL WHERE I HAD PARKED. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER ON THE FREEWAY ONLY TO FIND OIL GUSHING OUT OF MY ENGINE. I IMMEDIATELY EXITED THE FREEWAY AND WENT TO THE 7-11 AT THE TOP OF THE EXIT RAMP. I ADDED 4 QUARTS OF OIL AND DROVE STRAIGHT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP APPROXIMATELY 5 MILES AWAY. BY THE TIME I ARRIVED AT THE DEALERSHIP ALL THE OIL HAD GUSHED OUT AGAIN. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE SEAL ON THE FRONT BALANCER SHAFT HAD BECOME DISLODGED. THEY SAID IT WOULD COST $750 TO REPAIR. THE TIMING BELT WAS FULL OF OIL SO IT TOO HAD TO BE REPLACED. IF IT WASN'T FOR THE ALERT BUSINESSMAN AND THE FLUKE THAT I HAD GIVEN HIM MY PHONE NUMBER, I NEVER WOULD HAVE BEEN AWARE OF THE PROBLEM UNTIL EITHER THE ENGINE SEIZED UP AND/OR CAUGHT ON FIRE. THE DEALERSHIP AND THE MANUFACTURER SEEMED UNFAZED BY THE POTENTIAL DISASTER THAT I NARROWLY AVERTED SIMPLY BY A FLUKE OF CHANCE. THIS PROBLEM SHOULD RESULT IN A RECALL TO PREVENT OTHERS FROM GETTING KILLED IF THE CAR CATCHES ON FIRE AND SEIZES UP WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS!!
