#705852April 21, 1999
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:PADS, SUSPENSION, STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST:PUMP
BRAKE PADS FIXED, WITHIN 3 MONTHS PADS WERE WORN OUT AGAIN. THE HONDA DEALER SAID WE DID NOT NEED NEW SHOES. BUT REPAIRS DONE AT MIDAS, SAID THEY NEEDED TO BE CHANGED AGAIN. MY CAR MAKES A SQUEAKING/GRINDING NOISE WHEN DRIVING SLOWLY, BRAKES SQUEAK AT SLOW SPEEDS, AND I AM HAVING TO PRESS DOWN HARD TO SLOW DOWN AND STOP. THE DASH BOARD SHAKES AND THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES, AND WHEN AIR IS ON IT EVEN SHAKES MORE. IT HAS A BAD VIBRATION WHEN I AM STOPPED. THE STEERING FLUID PUMP IS MAKING A HORRIBLE NOISE, AND IT NEVER STOPS, IT SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE EVERYDAY. WHEN I PUSH THE GAS, IT GETS LOUDER. *AK

CHILD SEAT
MY PROBLEM IS NOT WITH MY VEHICLE, BUT WITH THE CAR SEAT INSTALLATION. I WAS IN THE CHILD SAFETY SCREEN WHICH PROMPTED ME TO THIS COMPLAINT FORM. I HAVE SEARCHED FOR INFORMATION FOR 3 YEARS ON HOW TO INSTALL MY INFANT CAR SEAT CORRECTLY. I HAVE 2 KIDS, SO 2 CAR SEATS MUST BE INSTALLED ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BACK SEAT. THE SHOULDER SEAT BELT IS WHAT MUST BE USED IN THESE POSITIONS, BUT THEY ARE NEVER SECURE. WHEN I TURN A SHARP CORNER, THE CARSEAT SHIFTS TO A SIDEWAYS POSITION. I HAVE TRIED A LOCKING CLIP, BUT I CAN'T GET THAT TO WORK EITHER. ALSO, I THINK INFANT CAR SEATS ARE DESIGNED UNSAFELY. MY INFANT'S HEAD ALWAYS ENDS UP AT HER FEET WHEN SHE FALLS ASLEEP. I WAS TOLD TO PUT A STACK OF TOWELS UNDERNEATH THE SEAT TO HELP THE ANGLE OF THE SEAT. THAT DOES NOT WORK SATISFACTORILY EITHER. WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IN A CRASH IF MY BABY WERE SLEEPING AND TOTALLY FLOPPED OVER LIKE THAT? I AM NOT SATISFIED THAT MY CHILDREN ARE RIDING SAFELY IN THEIR SEATS AND I DEFINITELY NEED SOME ANSWERS.

#702495January 23, 1999
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
THE GARAGE WHERE I HAD THE CAR REPAIRED SAID THEY HAD REPAIRED OTHER 1993 HONDA CARS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I WOULD NOT HAVE BOTHERED TO REPORT THIS, BUT ALSO HAPPENED TO THE OTHER 1993 H0NDA ACCORD THAT WE OWN. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY DEFECT, WHICH COULD RESULT IN SERIOS INJURIES OR DEATH IF THE ENGINE RUNS OUT OF OIL ON AN INTERSTATE AND THE ENGINE SEIZES UP. MY SON WAS SMART ENOUGH TO PUSH THE CTUTCH PEDAL IN AND TURN THE ENGINE OFF.

#536131May 25, 1998
STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
DEAR SIR: OVER THE COURSE OF SEVERAL MONTHS BOTH REAR WINDOWS DEVELOPED A CLICKING NOISE. WHEN A MECHANIC INVESTIGATED, HE REPORTED THAT THE TAKEUP REELS IN THE CABLE ASSEMBLIES WERE DEFECTIVE. UPON CONTACTING THE DEALER, HE WAS QUOTED A PRICE FOR THE PART IN EXCESS OF $250.00 PER UNIT. THIS SEEMS QUITE EXCESSIVE CONSIDERING WE DO NOT HAVE SMALL CHILDREN WHO MIGHT PLAY WITH THE WINDOWS. IN FACT, THESE TWO WINDOWS RECEIVED ONLY NOMINAL USE DURING THE TIME WE HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE. ACCORDING TO THE MACHENIC WHO NORMALLY INSPECTS OUR CAR, THERE IS A REQUIREMENT IN PA THAT REAR WINDOWS, WHERE SO EQUIPED, MUST FUNCTION DURING THE YEARLY INSPECTION. IF SO, THEN THIS SEEMS LIKE SOME SORT OF DESIGN FLAW SINCE THE REAR WINDOW MOVEMENT IN OUR VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN EXCESSIVE.
