SUSPENSION:FRONT
MY WIFE EXPERIENCED A CASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE RIGHT FRONT SUSSPENSION. THE WHEEL BUCKELED UNDER THE CAR AFTER THE SUSPENSION BROKE. SHE WAS TRAVELING AT 30MPH AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE. HONDA DID NOT INTERVIEW HER OR THE POLICE OFFICER TO GET ANY INFORMATION RELATED TO THE FAILURE. THEY LOOKED AT THE CAR IN THE SHOP AND SAID MY WIFE HIT SOMETHING TO CAUSE THE FAILURE. BOTH SHE AND THE POLICE OFFICER DISAGREE WITH THEIR ASSESSMENT. I AM DISAPOINTED THAT HONDA WAS NOT INTERESTED IN TALKING WITH MY WIFE ABOUT THE FAILURE AND PLACING BLAME ON HER FOR THIS FAILURE. IT COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH MORE DRASTIC IF SHE HAD BEEN TRAVELING AT HIGHER SPEEDS. *AK

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD
THERE IS A LOUD WIND/VIBRATION NOISE FROM FRONT LEFT SIDE AROUND WINDSHIELD AND OR DRIVER'S DOOR. NOISE IS CONSTANT WHEN DRIVING ON OPEN HIGHWAYS.WE HAVE RETURNED IT TO THE DEALER TWICE. FIRST TIME THE DEALER ADJUSTED DRIVERS DOOR (WHICH WAS OUT OF SPEC ACCORDING TO DEALER). SECOND TIME, REPLACED RUBBER MOLDING/INSULATION ON DRIVERS DOOR WHICH WAS DEFECTIVE. AFTER BOTH VISITS, THE NOISE CONTINUES TO BE A PROBLEM DURING HIGHWAY DRIVING. WHEN THE NOISE APPEARS YOU CAN FEEL A VIBRATION IN THE INTERIOR MOLDING ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD.

#728826August 23, 2000
STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
HAS BEEN TAKEN TO DEALER 5 TIMES BECAUSE THE TWO SLIDING DOORS FAIL TO CLOSE PROPERLY. HONDA HAS ISSUED A RECALL, WHICH WAS DONE TWO WEEKS AGO. HAS HAPPENED TWICE SINCE THEN. SOMETIMES THE DOORS WILL CLOSE, BUT AN AUDIBLE ALARM WILL BE GOING OFF SAYING THAT THEY DID NOT CLOSE FULLY. THERE MAY OR MAY NOT BE A DASH LIGHT SHOWING THE LOCATION. THIS USUALLY REQUIRES MULTIPLE CYCLING OF THE DOORS TO GET THEM TO CLOSE AND SEAL. IT HAPPENS INTERMITTANTLY, BUT OFTEN.

DOOR OPENED QUICKLY AND JAMMED OVER THE FUEL FILLER DOOR, DAMAGING FUEL FILLER DOOR, ALSO CAUSED FUEL TO SPILL ON GROUND. SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEM.

VEHICLE WAS PARKED. ENGAGED THE SLIDE DOOR TO CLOSE AND FORGOT SOMETHING. REACHED IN WHILE DOOR WAS CLOSING AND GOT CAUGHT. SAFETY FEATURE WAS DESIGNED IN A MANNER THAT DOOR WILL RETRACT IF SOMETHING IS IN ITS WAY, BUT IT FAILS TO RETRACT UNTIL THE DOOR IS ALMOST CLOSED.
