ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO, I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND MADE A RIGHT TURN AT A STOP LIGHT AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE CAR STOPPED. I NEARLY GOT HIT, AND I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CAR WOULD NOT START AGAIN. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE STATION ACROSS THE STREET FROM WHERE IT DIED. THEY REPLACED THE DISTRIBUTOR CAP AND COIL IN IT. THIS ALL COST ME $710. THEN 4 DAYS AGO I WAS DRIVING HOME ON A LOCAL ROAD BY HOME AND THE CAR JUST QUIT ON ME AGAIN. I HAVE SOMEONE LOOKING AT IT AND THEY THOUGHT IT WAS THE TPS BUT THAT'S NOT IT. THEY CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT'S GOING ON. I HAD THE IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED WHEN THE RECALL CAME OUT FOR THAT A FEW YEARS AGO. MAYBE THAT'S THE PROBLEM AGAIN?

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE
I HAVE A 2001 HONDA CIVIC EX. I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE SRS LIGHT. I HAVE TALKED TO HOWARD NATHAN AT TURN TO 2 ( WDTN ) ABOUT THIS. THE PROBLEM STIMS FROM AN ELECTRONIC INTERFERENCE ( CELL PHONE , LAP TOP ETC ) BUT IT WAS MY PHONE. I BOUGHT THE CAR ( 6/2/05 ) AND THE LIGHT WAS ON AND THEN I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT. THEY FIXED IT AND 2 WEEKS LATER IT CAME BACK ON. THEY FIXED IT WELL IN THE SAME WEEK THE LIGHT CAME ON AND I TOLD THEM AND I SET UP AN APPT FOR WEDNESDAY ( 7/7 ) AND THEY TOOK IT TO HIDY HONDA. AFTER CHARGING THE DEALSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT 80 BUCKS ALL THEY BASICALLY DID WAS DELETE THE CODE OUT OF THE SYSTEM AND NOPTHING ELSE. I EMAILED HOWARD NATHAN AND WE HAVE BEEN DISCUSSING THIS PROBLEM AND IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED BEFORE A DEATH OCCURS.

MY HONDA CIVIC 1998 ENGINE STALLED AND I ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE MECHANIC, AFTER INSPECTION HE TOLD ME THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH HAS A FLAW AND HONDA HAD A RECALL.

TIRES:TREAD/BELT
INSURED STATED WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HWY HER RT REAR TIRE BLEW AND CAUSED HER TO LOSE CONTROL OF IV. THE TIRE SHREDS HIT THE REAR BUMPER AND TORE IT OFF OR PARTIALLY OFF. THE IV THEN SPUN ACROSS TRAFFIC AND HIT THE MEDIAN WITH LEFT REAR END. CLAIMS ADJUSTER LOOKED AT THE PHOTOS OF THE TIRE, AND IT DOES NOT SEEM LIKE A NORMAL BLOW OUT. THE TREAD APPEARS TO HAVE JUST FALLEN OFF THE TIRE. WHAT TREAD WAS LEFT ON TIRE IS IN GOOD SHAPE. SO WE ARE NOT LOOKING AT LACK OF CARE ON INSURED'S PART. INSD HAS THE PHYSICAL TIRE IN HER POSSESSION.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
GOING OFF THE HONDA BRAND NAME, WE PURCHASED A 1998 HONDA ACCORD IN NOVEMBER OF 2004. AT THE TIME, THE VEHICLE HAD 101,000 MILES ON IT. LESS THAN A WEEK AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, MY WIFE NOTICED THAT IT HESITATED AND THEN SHIFTED HARD INTO SECOND GEAR. SHE ASLO NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A SEVERE HESITATION WHEN ACCELERATING AFTER SLOWING DOWN FOR A TURN OR WHEN TRYING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC. THIS CAUSES AN UNSAFE CONDITION OF A VEHICLE TRYING TO GET INTO THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC AND BEING UNABLE TO ACCELERATE; SHE'S ALMOST BEEN HIT SEVERAL TIMES. WE'VE BEEN ON THE PHONE WITH HONDA, AND BEEN TOLD THAT THEY WON'T PAY FOR ANYTHING. I DON'T HAVE AN ESTIMATE YET, BUT, AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO COST ANYWHERE FROM $2000-4000 TO FIX. IF HONDA CONTINUES TO REFUSE TO REPLACE WHAT IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECTIVE COMPONENT, I'VE RESOLVED TO DO TWO THINGS: CONTACT A LAWYER AND NEVER WASTE MY MONEY ON ONE OF THEIR VEHICLES AGAIN.

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD
AT APPROXIMATLY 3PM, SUNDAY AFTERNOON, I WASHED MY HONDA CIVIC HYBRID. WHEN THE COLD WATER HIT THE FRONT WINDSHIELD THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. THE HONDA DEALER EXAMINED THE CRACK THE FOLLOWING WEEK AND DID NOT FIND ANY STONE DAMAGE. BUT, THE FACTORY REP INDICATES THAT SINCE THERE IS 33,000 MILES ON TEH CAR AND IT IS MORE THAN ONE YEAR OLD, HONDA WILL NOT PAY FOR ANY REPLACEMENT. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW AND NOT HE RESULT OF PRIOR DAMAGE.
