I HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED AT STOP LIGHTS FIVE TIMES IN THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN AT A COMPLETE STOP FOR EACH ONE OF THESE.

THIS HAS CAUSED MULTIPLE INJURIES AND HEARTACHES. I HAVE NOT BEEN AT FAULT IN ANY OF THESE, AND HAVE NEVER HAD AN ACCIDENT BEFORE OWNING THIS CAR. *AK

SEATS
LEFT METAL CONTROL ARM THAT RAISES AND LOWERS THE DRIVERS SEAT HAS BROKEN. BOTH THE METAL AND THE WELD HAVE BROKEN AND THE BAR UNDER THE SEAT IS NO LONGER ATTACHED TO THE CONTROL ARM UNDER THE LEFT FRONT OF THE SEAT. THE SEAT FLOPS AND IS UNSTABLE. THIS CAR HAS NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT BUT THE FEAR IS THAT HAD IT BEEN OR SHOULD IT BE, THE SEAT WILL FALL BACKWARDS CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY TO BOTH THE DRIVER AND REAR SEAT PASSENGER.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
MY BREAKS HAVE NOT FAILED, BUT SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE CAR THEY HAVE MADE A TERRIBLE SQUEALING NOISE. I HAVE REPORTED THE PROBLEM SEVERAL TIMES TO THE DEALER AND HAVE HAD IT LOOKED AT TWICE. I WAS TOLD THAT BECAUSE OF THE NEW MATERIALS USED TO MAKE BREAKS CAUSES THIS NOISE. I AM NOT SATISFIED WITH THAT ANSWER SINCE VERY FEW IF ANY OF THE OTHER NEW CARS I SEE AND HEAR ON THE ROAD ARE MAKING THE SAME NOISE. HAS THIS PROBLEM BEEN REPORTED BY OTHER HONDA OWNERS? IS IT IN FACT DUE TO THE MATERIALS USED TO CONSTRUCT THE BREAK PADS? IT IS REALLY FRUSTRATING TO HAVE A NEW CAR AND HAVE IT SOUND LIKE THE BREAKS NEED REPLACING.
