CHILD SEAT
THE REMOVABLE BASE SECTION OF A CENTURY SMART FIT PLUS INFANT CHILD RESTRAINT, SER. # 4529, MANUFACTURED 11-21-97, SHOWS SIGNS OF COLLAPSE CAUSED BY NORMAL INSTALLATION. THE EXTENDABLE FOOT USED TO ADJUST THE BASE ANGLE HAS THIN PLASTIC GUIDES, WHICH THE FOOT MOVES UP AND DOWN ALONG. THESE GUIDES HAVE BENT TOWARD THE REAR OF THE SEAT, AND MAY COLLAPSE FURTHER, ALLOWING THE BASE TO SETTLE TO AN IMPROPER ANGLE. ALSO, THE BLUE PLASTIC FOOT ITSELF SHOWS WHITENING OF THE PLASTIC, INDICATING THAT THE PLASTIC HAS BENT OR DEFORMED. IT APPEARS THAT THE ASSEMBLY COLLAPSES BECAUSE OF THE DOWNWARD PRESSURE APPLIED DURING NORMAL, BUT TIGHT, INSTALLATION WITH THE CAR SAFETY BELTS. THIS DEFECT WAS FOUND BY, AND IS REPORTED HERE BY, OFFICER MARK BERGIN, ALEXANDRIA VA POLICE DEPARTMENT, 703-848-4763, WITH THE PERMISSION OF THE OWNER.

AIR BAGS
MY 1995 HONDA ODYSSEY HAD BEEN IN THE SHOP THREE TIMES FOR SRS WARNING LIGHT. ON THE FIRST 2 VISIT, WHICH WERE UNDER WARRANTY THE SRS SYSTEM WAS RESET AND I WAS TOLD NO PROBLEM. THE LAST TIME WHICH WAS 3 MONTHS AFTER THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED, I WAS TOLD THAT THE CAR REQUIRED $800 DOLLARS OF REPAIRS. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER AND HONDA . I FEEL THAT THIS SYSTEM WAS DEFECTIVE ALL ALONG AND HONDA SHOULD AT LEAST SHARE THE COST OF REPAIRS. I CONTACTING YOU IN HOPES THAT YOU CAN JUMP START THE DIALOG BETWEEN MYSELF AND HONDA. THANK-YOU

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC
VEHICLE PURCHASED NEW WITH SIX MILES ON ODOMETER. AT APPROXIMATELY 2100 MILES, WE NOTED A SCREECHING NOISE AND DECREASED BRAKING. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE SELLING DEALER, IMMKE HONDA NORTHWEST -- THIS DEALER PUT "MOLYKOTE" ON THE DISKS OR PADS, RETURNING THE VEHICLE TO US REPRESENTING THAT THE PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED. AT 3,000 MILES, WE NOTED INCREASED METAL-ON-METAL NOISE AND SIGNIFICANTLY DECREASED BRAKING. ANOTHER DEALER REPLACED BOTH FRONT DISKS AND ONE FRONT PAD, INDICATING THAT ALL WERE BAD. THIS IS REPORTED DUE TO DANGER OF REDUCED BRAKING AND THE OCCURRENCE AT LESS THAN 3,000 MILES (NORMAL USE).

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I TEST DROVE THIS VAN AND DID NOT PURCHASE THE VEHICLE. WHEN THE CAR WAS STOPPED ON AN INCLINE OF ABOUT 35 DEGREES WHILE IN THE DRIVE POSITION THE CAR ROLLED BACKWARDS BETWEEN THE TIME I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND PUT IT ON THE GAS TO RESUME DRIVING. I FELT AS IF THE CAR WAS IN NEUTRAL RATHER THAN IN DRIVE. NOBODY WAS BEHIND ME SO I LET IT KEEP ROLLING BACKWARDS EXPECTING THAT IT WOULD STOP ITSELF AFTER 2 - 4 SECONDS BUT IT JUST KEPT GOING. ALTHOUGH THERE SHOULD BE FEW, IF ANY, OCCASIONS WHEN ONE DOES NOT HAVE THEIR FOOT ON EITHER THE BRAKE OR THE GAS WHEN STOPPED ON AN INCLINE, I WAS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE KNOWING THAT THE CAR COULD ROLL BACK SO MUCH WHILE IN DRIVE. *AK
