ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:HORN
THE HORN BUTTON IS LOCATED AT THE VERY CENTER OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND ONLY AT THE ONE SPOT. DURING AN EMERGENCY SITUATION THE HORN IS VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND AND MOST OF THE TIME YOU MISS IT. THIS RESULTS IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION BEING MADE WORSE. IN THE TIME I HAVE THE CAR THERE HAVE BEEN THREE SITUATIONS WHERE I COULD NOT FIND THE HORN, POUNDING ON THE STEERING WHEEL USELESSLY.THERE SHOULD BE A THREE OR A FOUR POINT HORN BUTTON.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
SEVERE ENGINE VIBRATION, STEERING WHEEL AND DASHBOARD SHAKE, VERY DISTRACTING, AND CONCERNED THAT DAMAGE COULD RESULT TO SOME COMPONENTS FROM THIS SHAKING. JUST HAD 90000 MILE SERVICE DONE. ASKED IF THE SHAKING HAD GONE AWAY. MECHANIC SAID THAT THE ENGINE IS OK, HOWEVER, THE SHAKING IS COMMON ON THIS YEAR ACCORD (1992). WHEN ASKED HOW IT COULD BE FIXED, HE SAID IT WAS LIKELY A MOTOR MOUNT PROBLEM, POSSIBLY THE ONE WITH FLUID IN IT. HE SAID THIS CAN DEVELOP AS THE ENGINE "SETTLES" OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. I SAID THAT THIS IS STRANGE SINCE MY 1986 ACCORD NEVER DEVELOPED THIS PROBLEM. MIGHT THIS BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT? THANK YOU.

TIRES, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WHEN VEHICLE IS FACING DOWN HILL , AND YOU PUT IN REVERSE IT GOES FORWARD .I SPOKE TO THE SERVICE ADVISOR HE SAID IT WAS NORMAL.I PERSONALLY DO NOT THINK ITS NORMAL .I HAVE AN `89 FORD TEMPO AS OLD AS IT IS IT DOES NOT ROLL DOWNHILL WHEN IN REVERSE AND FACING DOWNHILL.I HAVE COME CLOSE TO HITTING MY GARAGE DOOR BECAUSE OF THAT. ALSO WHEN PUTTING IN GEAR IN ANY KIND OF LAND LEVEL IT CRACKS AND MAKES NOISES. TIRES VIBRATE ,FRONT ONES ALSO ON THE HIGHWAY IT STRAYS TO THE RIGHT A LOT . I`VE CHECKED AIR PRESSURE ON TIRES TO MAKE SURE THAT DID NOT CAUSE THE PULLING TO THE RIGHT, AND IT WAS NOT THAT .AIR PRESSURE IS LOST A LOT ALSO ,EVERY 2-3 WEEKS AIR IN FRONT TIRES GOES DOWN APPROXIMATELEY 4-6 POUNDS, AND REARS GO DOWN 2-3 PUONDS.I HAVE TO CHECK AIR PRESSURE ON A WEEKLY BASES .( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P195/65R15 )

SEAT BELTS
NORMALLY WHEN YOU TRYING TO EXIT THE CAR DRIVER OPENS THE DOOR AND THE SHOULDER BELT MOVES FORWARD TO LET YOU EXIT. THE PROBLEM THAT I AM REPORTING IS THAT INSTEAD OF THE BELT MOVING FORWARD IT MOVES BACK TOWARD THE DRIVER' OR PASSANGER, SECURING THEM WITH EXTRA FORCE TO THE POINT YOU ARE UNABLE TO MOVE. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS ONLY 5 OR 6 TIMES A YEAR. WHEN IT HAPPENS, THE ONLY WAY I HAVE FOUND TO BYPASS IT IS TO RECLOSE THE DOOR AND RESTART THE ENGINE AND THEN REOPEN THE DOOR. I HAVE TRIED TO DISCONNECT THE BELT FROM THE UPPER CLIP TO RELIEVE THE PRESSURE ON MY CHEST AND THEN GO THROUGH THE RESTARTING PROCESS. I REPORTED THIS PROBLEM EARLY ON TO THE DEALER. BUT NATURALLY I COULD NOT DEMONSTRATE IT TO THEM, AND THEY COULD NOT MAKE IT HAPPENED. SO I HAVE LEARNED TO LIVE WITH IT. I AM REPORTING THIS BECAUSE IT MAY BE HAPPENING TO OTHER PEOPLE, AND IN MY OPINION IT COULD BE A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM UNDER THE RIGHT CIRCUMSTANCES. *AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TRANSMISSION IS CHRONICALLY SLOW TO DOWNSHIFT. SEEMS TO HUNT FOR GEARS AND DOWNSHIFT INDECISIVELY. CAN MAKE VEHICLE RUN AS IF IT SURGES. ONCE IN A GEAR, ESPECIALLY 3RD OR 4TH, STILL SEEMS TO HUNT ABOUT OR SURGE WITHIN THAT GEAR. DEALER VISIT TODAY (RALPH SCHOMP IN LITTLETON,CO - NO COMPLAINTS THERE) INDICATES ALL IS WELL, THAT'S THE WAY IT RUNS. I THINK AN UPDATED COMPUTER CHIP COULD CURE ALL THIS. *AK
