VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE PARKING THE CAR AT AN APARTMENT COMPLEX, I SLOWLY PULLED THE CAR INTO A SPOT. THE CAR FOLLOWING SAW MY BRAKE LIGHTS. I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND WAS ABOUT TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND THERE WAS A STRANGE NOISE THAT SOUNDED LIKE OVERDRIVE AND THE CAR SURGED FORWARD INTO A REINFORCED CONCRETE WALL. MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE THE WHOLE TIME BUT I COULD NOT CONTROL THE CAR, THE WALL STOPPED US FROM MOVING. MY MOTHER WAS A PASSENGER AND SAID THAT I SHOUTED" WHAT IS HAPPENING?" WE SUSTAINED INJURIES AS A RESULT OF THE ACCIDENT AND HAVE BEEN OUT OF WORK.

EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL:RADIO/TAPE DECK/CD ETC.
THE LCD DISPLAY IN THE CD RADIO IS UNREADABLE UNDER MOST ALL LIGHTING CONDITIONS, BUTTON LABELS ARE SO SMALL THEY CAN'T BE READ. THIS CREATES A SIGNIFIGANT POTENTENTIAL HAZARD IN OPERATING IT. SINCE IT IS A PART OF THE VEHICLE, IT SEEMS IT IS AN ISSUE FOR YOUR ORGANIZATION VS A CONSUMER ELECTRONICS ISSUE, BUT IT IS SOMEWHAT BOTH. FACTORY OEM RADIOS HAVE MUCH BETTER DISPLAY, BUT ARE THEY REQUIRED TO, BUT AFTERMARKET SEEM TO HAVE NO STANDARDS AND I THINK THEY SHOULD. DO THEY. THE UNIT I HAVE IS A CLARION MODEL RDB365D. *AK

TIRES
JUST AFTER MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND REACHING FULL SPEED, AHUMMING NOISE WAS HEARD WITHOUT ANY NOTICEABLE VIBRATION. WITHIN A FEW SECONDS, WHILE SLOWING TO ALLOW TRAFFIC TO CLEAR, THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR TIRE FAILED. I HEARD A LOUD EXPOSION AND SAW RUBBER FRAGMENTS OVER MY LEFT SHOULDER. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE AND QUICKLY PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY. UPON INSPECTION, ONLY THE OUTER EDGE OF THE TIRE REMAINED ON THE RIM. THE ENTIRE TREAD PORTION OF THE TIRE WAS GONE. ALL FOUR TIRES HAD ADEQUATE PRESSURE, WERE ROTATED AT 7500 MILES BY HENRICK HONDA, AND WERE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW LATE LAST YEAR. I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED FIRESTONE AND FOLLOWING THEIR INSTRUCTIONS TO FILE A CLAIM. RECENTLY, I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FIRESTONE DENYING MY REQUEST FOR COMPENSATION, SITING INSUFFICIENT AIR PRESSURE EVIDENCED BY THE TATTERED SIDEWALLS AND MELTED INNER LINER. AS I STATED PREVIOUSLY, THESE TIRES WERE NOT LOW ON PRESSURE AND WERE KEPT IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE SEVERITY OF THIS FAILURE COUPLED WITH FIRESTONE'S UNWILLINGNESS TO PROVIDE ANY COMPENSATION IS THE REASON I'M FILING THIS COMPLAINT. I TRULY BELIEVE THAT IF ONE OF THE FRONT TIRES HAD FAILED, I WOULD HAVE SUFFERED A SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURY.*AK (DOT NUMBER: VN7JMNH379 TIRESIZE: 18565R14)

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHEN CAR COMES TO STOP SIGN OR LIGHT, IN IDEL/DRIVE, ENGINE SURGES. CAR HAS TO BE PUT IN NEUTRAL TO STOP SURGING. WHEN SHIFTED BACK TO DRIVE, CAR LEAPS FORWARD. GRACE HONDA HAS BEEN ASKED REPEATED OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS TO INVESTIGATE AND REPAIR. THEY RESPOND BY SAYING THEY CANNOT DEMONSTRATE CONDITION ON TEST DRIVE AND HAVE NEVER HEARD OF IT (STRANGE, AS YOU HAVE REPORTS ON YOUR COMPLAINTS SITE). THEY ARE DISMISSIVE OF MY CONCERNS THAT THIS IS AN UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITION. I AM CURRENTLY IN CORRESPONDENCE ABOUT THIS WITH A CUSTOMER SERVICE REP. IN TORRANCE.*AK
