AIR BAGS
OUR PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG DOES NOT WORK WHEN I SIT IN THE SEAT. OUR HONDA DEALER HAS SAID THERE COMPUTER DOES NOT SEE A PROBLEM WE DETERMINED THAT I MAY NOT MEET THE WEIGHT ALLOWANCE AS I WEIGH ABOUT 88-90 LBS. WE HAVE COMPLAINED TO THE AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR COMPANY AND WERE TOLD THEY WOULD GET BACK TO US BUT THAT WAS NEARLY A MONTH AGO.. ALL OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE SAT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT DID NOT EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM AND WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED CLEAR INFORMATION AS TO WHAT THE WEIGHT ALLOWANCE IS FOR THIS CAR. WHEN I SIT IN THE SEAT, THE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON. I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED ABOUT HONDA'S APPARENT INDIFFERENCE AS WELL AS THE LACK OF SAFETY I FEEL WHEN SITTING IN THAT SEAT. PLEASE LET ME KN OW IF YOU CAN FOLLOW UP ON THIS CONCERN FOR ME. THANK YOU.

POWER TRAIN
WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR 7 MONTHS AGO FROM ELITE MOTORS IN SACRAMENTO I ALSO NOUGHT A WARRANTY FOR POWER TRAIN. IMMEDIATELY THE A/C WAS BLOWING HOT AIR. THEY FIXED IT. NOW IT'S BLOWING HOT AIR AGAIN. I WENT TO A SHOP TO FILL FREON THEY SAID THERE IS STILL PRESSURE IN IT AND TGAT THEY NEED A DIAGNOSIS FIRST BECAUSE IT COULD BE A CONDENSER. I DO NOT HAVE $260 TO DIAGNOSE THIS CAR. CAN HONDA BE FORCED TO REPAIR THIS?

STEERING
TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITH THE VEHICLE HEADING IN A FAIRLY STRAIGHT TRAJECTORY, ATTEMPTS TO ADJUST THE STEERING SLIGHTLY IN EITHER DIRECTION (TO CORRECT FOR ANY DRIFTING) ARE MET WITH RESISTANCE IN THE FORM OF THE STEERING "STICKING" TO ITS' CURRENT POSITION. ABNORMAL EFFORT IS REQUIRED TO "UNSTICK" THE STEERING, AT WHICH POINT THERE IS A JERKING RESULT THAT CAUSES AN OVERSTEER IN THE DIRECTION OF THE ATTEMPTED CORRECTION.

STEERING
AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (50 MPH OR MORE), THE CAR STRUGGLES TO STAY STRAIGHT. THIS RESULTS IN HAVING TO CONSTANTLY ADJUST THE STEERING WHEEL, WHICH FEELS VERY TIGHT, ALMOST AS IF IT'S STUCK. THIS REQUIRES USING MORE FORCE WHICH CAN LEAD TO AN OVERCORRECTION AS THE WHEEL LOOSENS UP.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
FRONT WINDSHIELD CAME DEFECTIVE FROM FACTORY WITH AIR BUBBLES BETWEEN THE GLASS AND THE RUBBER AFFECTING THE INTEGRITY OF IT, THAT ALSO MAKES THE GLASS WEAK AND IT CRACKS TOO EASY. MY PROBLEM WITH THE GLASS HAPPENED WHILE THE CAR WAS PARKED INSIDE MY GARAGE WITH JUST LETTING THE WIPER FALL ON IT WHILE I WAS WASHING IT. IT REPRESENTS A POTENTIAL HAZARD AND SAFETY ISSUE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY.

VEHICLE IS LIGHTLY DRIVEN FOR 5 YEARS WITH ONLY 40K MILES. ALL RECOMMENDED SERVICES WERE PERFORMED ON SCHEDULE. SUDDENLY, THE A/C STARTED TO BLOW ONLY HOT AIR AND DID NOT SEEM TO HAVE ANY COOLING CAPACITY. THE SYSTEM IS LIKELY LEAKING REFRIGERANT AS HONDA HAS OFFICIALLY ACCEPTED THAT SOME A/C PARTS ARE IMPROPERLY MANUFACTURED FOR 16' HONDA CIVICS. A RECALL SHOULD BE CREATED FOR ALL 16' HONDA CIVIC A/C SYSTEMS.
