I USED THE HARNESS RETAINER THAT CAME WITH THE CENTURY CAR SEAT WHICH HELPS, BUT I FEEL THE SEAT SHOULDN'T MOVE AT ALL ACCORDING TO THE PARENTS MAG ARTICLE I READ. ANY IDEAS ON HOW TO SECURE THIS SEAT ANY BETTER??? THANKS. *AK

#703677February 23, 1999
VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD
WINDSHIELD HAS DISTORTIONS. THERE ARE VERTICAL LINES OF DISTORTION THAT ARE MOST APPARENT WHEN LOOKING THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD AT AN ANGLE (I.E. SITTING IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT AND LOOKING THROUGH PASSENGER'S SIDE OF WINDSHIELD.) THIS IS MOST DISTRACTING WHEN MAKING A RIGHT TURN. IT APPEARS THAT SOMETHING IS MOVING IN FRONT OF THE CAR WHICH ISN'T, BUT IT ALSO DISTORTS THINGS THAT ARE THERE. DEALER SAYS THIS A KNOWN ISSUE AND HAVE SEEN IT IN OTHER CARS, BUT THEY WILL NOT CONSIDER FIXING.

SUSPENSION
I WAS TOLD THIS WILL ENABLE A VEHICLE TO RUN OFF THE ROAD AND HIT A TREE IF FALLING ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL. I DO NOT HAVE THE VEHICLE. THE COMPANY WAS NOT ABLE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM AND TOLD ME THAT ALL THE NEW VEHICLES HAVE A PULL OR DRIFT. THE GMC ALSO DRIVEN THE VEHICLE, AND NOTICED MY COMPLAINT. THAT WAS WHEN HE MENTIONED THAT STATEMENT TO ME. SO 3 MONTHS LATER I'M IN A LEASE BECAUSE THE PROBLEM WAS NOT FIXED AND THERE WAS NOT A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE TO PLACE ME IN. I'M NOT REALLY HAVING A CHOICE. I ENDED UP GETTING A VEHICLE THAT I REALLY DIDN'T WANT. HAVING A 1996 ACCORD VEHICLE FOR 2 YEARS I HAD NO PROBLEM WITH PULLING OR ANYTHING. I AM SO SORRY I TRADED MY VEHICLE IN. SINCE THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME TO GIVE ME MY VEHICLE BACK I AM NOW IN A VERY UNFORTUNATE SITUATION.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE REAR-COMPUTERIZED MOTOR MOUNT ON MY HONDA IS DEFECTIVE ACCORDING TO HONDA. THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM ON THE 1998 AND 1999 ACCORDS, HOWEVER, THEY SAY THEY CAN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED AFTER IT HAS BEEN SITTING FOR TWO HOURS OR MORE, OR WHILE ACCELERATING, THE ENGINE SHIFTS AND THE REAR MOUNT COLLAPSES ENOUGH TO MAKE CONTACT WITH THE STOPPER ON THE BODY OF THE CAR. THIS RESULTS IN A LOUD THUNK AT START UP AND, WHILE DRIVING, A LOUD THUD AND I HAVE RECENTLY EXPERIENCED A WEIRD FEELING IN MY STEERING WHEEL. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE BEEN VERY COOPERATIVE IN TELLING ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO UNTIL HONDA CORP. AUTHORIZES A RECALL OR A SPECIFIC FIX FOR MY CAR. I AM CURRENLY IN CONTACT WITH THEIR ZONE OFFIC IN TORRANCE CALIFORNIA. THE CASE NUMBER FOR MY CAR IS 98-12-23-00001 AND THEIR PHONE NUMBER IS 800-999-1009.

SEAT BELTS:FRONT:ANCHORAGE
I FEEL THERE IS A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM WITH THE REAR SEAT BELTS. WHEN YOU PUT THEM ON, THEY LOCK TIGHT AROUND YOUR NECK AND YOU CAN NOT LOOSEN THEM UNLESS YOU UNHOOK THEM AND LET THE BELT GO ALL THE WAY BACK. I WENT TO THE DEALER TODAY TO SEE IF THIS WAS A DEFECT AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS WHAT THEY ARE SUPOSED TO DO. IF THESE BELTS DO NOT GIVE DURING A COLLISION, THEY WILL BREAK YOUR NECK OR CHOKE YOU TO DEATH. PLEASE ADVISE. I THOUGHT SEAT BELTS WERE MENT TO BE ADJUSTABLE.
