SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:POWER ADJUST
I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT. I WAS SITTING IN STOPPED TRAFFIC WHEN AN SUV REAR ENDED ME GOING ABOUT 40 TO 45 MPH . IT THEN SENT ME INTO A TRUCK THAT WAS STOPPED IN FRONT OF ME. MY SEAT THE DRIVERS SIDE COLAPSED AND I ENDED UP LAYING FLAT IN THE BACK SEAT. AFTER TALKING TO THE BODY SHOP I FOUND OUT ALL THE GEARS IN THE POWER SEAT WERE STRIPPED CAUSING BACK INJURY. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS SHOULD HAVE NEVER COLASPED. I HAVE CONTACTED THE HONDA DEALER ALONG WITH HONDA CONSUMER RELATION AND THE SAFETY COUNCIL AND RECEIVED NO SATISFACTION THEY ALL JUST PASSED THE BUCK BACK TO ONE ANOTHER IT WAS A VICIOUS CIRCLE.*AK

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
MY WIFE AND I PURCHASED A NEW HONDA ACCORD TO BE USED BY OUR 21-YEAR OLD SON WHO IS ATTENDING COLLEGE AT BRIGHAM YOUNG UNIVERSITY. ON SATURDAY, DEC. 15, 2001 HE ALONG WITH 3 OTHER COLLEGE STUDENTS WERE IN THE CAR ON THE FREEWAY. THEY WERE TRAVELING IN THE FAST LANE AT AROUND 70 MILES PER HOUR., ANOTHER CAR GOING THE SAME DIRECTION LOST CONTROL (REASON UNKNOWN), SPUN OUT ACROSS THE FREEWAY, HIT THE CENTER DIVIDER AND STOPPED DIRECTLY IN THE PATH OF OUR SON. NATURALLY HE HIT HIS BRAKES, BUT IT HAPPENED SO FAST THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO EXCEPT HIT THE OTHER CAR HEAD-ON AT ABOUT 60 MILES PER HOUR. ALL FOUR OF THE PARTIES IN OUR CAR WERE WEARING THEIR SEAT BELTS, WHICH PROBABLY SAVED THEIR LIVES. HOWEVER, THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. IT IS A MIRACLE THAT SOMEONE WASN'T SEVERLY INJURED. WHILE ALL OF THE PARTIES HAD SOME WHIP LASH, NO ONE HAD TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL. SOMEONE TOLD MY SON THAT BECAUSE HE HIT HIS BRAKES THE FRONT END OF OUR HONDA WAS LOWERED AND WENT UNDERNEATH THE BUMPER OF THE CAR THEY HIT, WHICH WAS A LARGER SUV AND THATS WHY THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. I THOUGHT AIRBAGS DEPLOYED ON IMPACT TO PROVIDE THE PROTECTION THEY ARE DESIGNED TO PROVIDE. THE POLICE REPORT INDICATED THAT THE DRIVER OF THE SUV WHO SPUN OUT WAS AT FAULT. WHILE WE ARE REALLY GLAD THAT OUR SON AND HIS FRIENDS WERE NOT SEVERLY INJURED I HAVE CONCERN FOR SOMEONE ELSE WHO MAY NOT BE AS LUCKY. I HOPE THIS INFORMATION IS HELPFUL. I DID CONTACT HONDA MOTOR CARS TO FILE A COMPLAINT. ABOUT ALL THEY DID WAS TAKE MY INFORMATION, SEND ME INFORMATION ON AIRBAGS AND TELL ME TO CONTACT MY INSURANCE COMPANY. SHOULD YOU LIKE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION PLEASE FEEL FREE TO GIVE US A CALL. THANKS FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE. *AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:MASTER CYLINDER
I WAS GOING DOWN HILL ON A FOUR LANE HIGHWAY IN TOWN AND GAVE A SIGNAL TO TURN RIGHT ONTO A STREET. I PUT THE BRAKE ON AND AS I WAS TURNING ONTO THE STREET THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. A TRUCK WAS COMING THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION WHEN I TURNE THE CORNER AND I TURNED LEFT INTO SOME BUSHES AND ROCKS TO MISS IT. THE POLICE OFFICER AND THE WRECKER DRIVER TRIED THE BRAKES AND SAID THE BRAKES WERE OUT. I THEN HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER TO HAVE REPAIRED UNDER WARRENTY AND THE SERVICE MANGAGER SAID HE COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. I PICKED THE CAR UP AND HAD MY BROTHER IN LAW DRIVE THE CAR HOME. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT DOWN ON HIM BEFORE HE GOT THE CAR HOME. MY SON IS AN ASE CERTIFIED MECHANIC AND REPAIRED THE BRAKES. HE SAID THE WHEEL HAD NOT BEEN OFF THE VEHICLE AS THE BRAKE DRUMS WERE STILL RUSTED ONTO THE REAR AXLE. HE ADJUSTED THE REAR BRAKES, CHECKED THE FRONT BRAKE PADS AND INSTALLED A NEW MASTER CYLINDER. THE BRAKES SEEM TO BE WORKING FINE NOW. IT COST MY INSURANCE COMPANY $4100.00 TO REPAIR THE BODY DAMAGE TO THE CAR. I THINK THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER WARRENTY. YOUR HELP WITH THIS MATTER WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.*AK
