EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TURN SIGNAL:FLASHER UNIT, EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TURN SIGNAL
NEW VEHICLES TURN SIGNALS ARE RED IN COLOR AND SEEM TO HAVE BECOME MORE DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE THE DRIVERS INTENTIONS DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER SITUATIONS. WHAT EVER ALLOWED THIS CHANGE FROM THE AMBER/YELLOW COLOR OF THE TURN SIGNAL TO THE CURRENT RED COLOR ON NEWER MODEL VEHICLES IS A WRONG DECISION, IN MY OPINION, ON THE PART OF A DRIVERS SAFTEY WHILE OPERATING A MOTOR VEHICLE. *AK

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
I WAS IN A FRONTAL COLLISION IN MY 2001 HONDA CIVIC EX. I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 35 MILES PER HOUR WHEN A CAR MERGED INTO THE INTERSECTION IN FRONT OF ME- I HIT THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. THE AIR BAG IN THE DRIVERS CAR DEPLOYED. MINE DID NOT. THAT DOES NOT SEEM RIGHT. MY CAR WAS TOTALED IN THE CRASH, AND MY INSURANCE ADJUSTOR WAS ALSO SURPRISED MY AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY.*JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION ON MY 1999 HONDA ACCORD V-6 COUPE BEGAN SLIPPING AND SHIFTING ROUGHLY AT APPROXIMATELY 75,000 MILES. AAMCO DIAGNOSED A LUBRICATION PROBLEM CAUSING EXCESSIVE GEAR WEAR, AND RECOMMENDED REBUILDING THE TRANNY. HONDA DEALERSHIP CONCURRED WITH THIS DIAGNOSIS, AND REPLACED THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION. THE 2001-2003 V-6 ACCORDS HAVE ALREADY BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM. I BELIEVE A TRANSMISSION DESIGN FAILURE EXISTED AS FAR BACK AS THE 1998 ACCORD MODELS. A QUICK SEARCH ON THE INTERNET REVEALED OVER 200 COMPLAINTS REGARDING 1999 ACCORD V-6 TRANSMISSION FAILURES. THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM IF SOMEONE'S TRANSMISSION FAILS WHILE THEY ARE DRIVING. NOTE: THE WEBSITE DOES NOT OFFER ACCORD AS A VEHICLE MODEL OPTION, SO I SELECTED CRX, THE ONLY OPTION, INSTEAD. *NM
