AIR BAGS
CONSUMER WAS INVOLVED IN A REAR END COLLISION WHILE TRAVELING AT 40 MPH. UPON IMPACT, NONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THE SRS LIGHT WAS ON AFTER THE ACCIENT JBUT THE MANUFACUTRE REFUSED TO INSPECT THE AIR BAG. THEY JUST INDICATED BY OBSERVATION THAT THE WAY THE VEHCILE WAS HIT THAT IT DIDN'T IMPACT THE SENSOR TO TRIGGER THE AIR BAG TO DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN ANOTHER HEAD ON COLLISION A YEAR LATER. UPON IMPACT THE WINDSHIELD CRACK AND THE INTERIROR REAR VIEW MIRROW DETACHED. ALSO SEVERAL ENGINE COMPONENTS WERE MANGALED UPON IMPACT. THE VEHICLE IS TOTALED.*AK

AIR BAGS, AIR BAGS:FRONTAL, AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE
THE SRS LIGHT IS ACTIVATED AND REQUIRES A VISIT TO THE DEALER TO RE-ACTIVATE THE SRS SYSTEM IF A CELL PHONE IS LEFT ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. PER THE DEALER, THE CELL PHONE INTERFERES WITH THE SRS SENSORS THAT MEASURE SEAT VS SEATBACK PRESSURE AND TELLS THE SYSTEM TO SHUT OFF. ADDITIONALLY, IF A SMALL PACKAGE IS PLACED ON THE FRONT SEAT, THE SRS DEACTIVATES - WHICH IS FINE, BUT IT MAY REMAIN DEACTIVATED AFTER THE PACKAGE IS REMOVED.

STEERING, TIRES
AFTER THE FIRST YEARS MAINTENANCE TIRES WERE ROTATED. SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS STEERING PROBLEMS. I DO NOT FEEL I HAVE SAFE CONTROL OF VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING. CONTACTED DEALERSHIP AND SERVICE AS DONE AGAIN FOR FREE. DEALERSHIP STATED A WHEEL ALIGNMENT WAS NEEDED. THIS STILL DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I STILL HAVE STEERING PROBLEMS AND IT FEELS UNSAFE AT TIMES I AM NERVOUS DURING TURNS. AT ONE POINT WHEN I'M AT A LIGHT AND PRESS GAS WHEELS STEER OFF WITHOUT CONTROL. THIS HAS HAPPENED A NUMBER OF TIMES. AT ONE POINT ANOTHER DRIVER TOLD ME SMOKE WAS COMING FROM MY WHEEL I LOOKED AND SAW NO PROBLEM SINCE IT HASN'T OCCURRED BUT STEERING IS STILL AN ISSUE. DATE BELOW IS MOST RECENT ISSUE. I AM NOTIFYING BEFORE A ACCIDENT OCCURS. DEALERSHIP TESTED AND STATED THERE IS NO MORE PROBLEM BUT YET I FEEL UNSAFE SINCE FIRST MAINTENANCE AT DEALERSHIP. BEFORE THEN CAR WAS EXCELLENT. DEALERSHIP ALSO STATED ROTATION MAY TAKE A WHILE TO ADJUST. IT HAS NOT YET. THEY WOULD LIKE TO JUST ROTATE TIRES BACK TO ORIGINAL I DON'T WANT THAT. DEALERSHIP STATED IT HELPS WEAR ON TIRES BY ROTATING. *LA

THE MIDDLE SEATBELT IN THE BACK DOES NOT WORK. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT GET IT TO COME OUT. IF IT IS AGAINST THE LAW IF YOU DON'T HAVE YOUR SEATBELT ON WHY ISN'T IT MANDATORY THAT THEY FIX THIS PROBLEM? ALSO WHEN YOU TURN THE REAR DEFROSTER ON AND HAVE THE HEATER ON THE RADIO DOES NOT WORK.*AK

WITH HANTIVIRUS FROM MICE DROPPINGS A REAL THREAT IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST, SAFETY IS AN ISSUE. THE CAR WAS NEVER LEFT OPEN WHEN PARKED. DEALER CLAIMED TO HAVE FOUND GLASS IN CAR AND SUSPECTED US OF BREAKING GLASS AND LEAVING CAR EXPOSED TO OUTSIDE CRITTERS.NOT TRUE, THE MICE ARE ENTERING BY SOME ENTRANCE "NOT LOCATED BY HONDA DEALER".
