AIR BAGS:FRONTAL, SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR
I WAS ALONE AND STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT WHEN A VEHICLE HIT ME FROM BEHIND. I HAD NO WARNING OF THE APPROACHING CAR SINCE THE DRIVER HAD FALLEN ASLEEP. HIS AIRBAG DEPLOYED. MY CAR WAS KNOCKED DIRECTLY FORWARD INTO THE TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME, AND THAT TRUCK WAS KNOCKED INTO THE VAN IN FRONT OF IT. MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND MY SEATBELT/SHOULDER HARNESS DID NOT PREVENT ME FROM FRACTURING MY EYE-SOCKET ON THE STEERING WHEEL. BASED ON THE FORCE OF THE IMPACT, I BELIEVE THAT MY SHOULDER HARNESS SHOULD HAVE PREVENTED THIS DEVASTATING INJURY. AFTER REPAIRS THAT DID NOT INCLUDE REPLACING THE HARNESS, I AM STILL SUBJECT TO THE SAME TYPE OF INJURY.*AK

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
IN JANUARY 2000, I TOOK MY HONDA IN TO THE TRICKET DEALERSHIP TO HAVE A STICKING GAS PEDAL REPAIR. THE MILEAGE AT THAT TIME WAS 35, 187. THE PEDAL WOULD STICK AND REQUIRE A HARD PUNCH WITH THE FOOT TO COME LOOSE. THE DEALER CLEANED THE THROTTLE AND TOLD ME IT WAS CAUSED BY A HONDA FLOOR MAT. THIS RESOLVED THE PROBLEM AT THAT TIME. I REMOVED THE FLOOR MAT. ON JANUARY 16, 2002 I TOOK THE HONDA INTO THE SAME DEALERSHIP AND REPORTED MY GAS PEDAL WAS STICKING AGAIN EVEN THOUGH I USED NO FLOOR MAT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. THE DEALERSHIP CLEANED THE THROTTLE AGAIN WITH A CHARGE TO ME OF $35.18 WHICH SEEMED TO TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM. WHEN I ASKED WHY THIS ELEMENT HAD FAILED TWICE, AT FIRST I WAS TOLD IT WAS BAD GAS, THEN THE DEALERRSHIP ADMITTED 98-99 HONDA ACCORDS HAD RECURRING PROBLEMS WITH THE GAS PEDAL STICKING. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THIS WAS NOT DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE GAS PEDAL DID NOT NORMALLY STICK WIDE OPEN. I GUESS DANGEROUS IS A MATTER OF OPINION. A GAS PEDAL STUCK HALF WAY DOWN COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. WHEN I CALLED THE NATIONAL HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE, I WAS TOLD TO GET THE THROTTLE CLEANED AS PART OF MY NORMAL MAINTENANCE. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF OTHER HONDA OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS DILEMMA. IT APPEARS TO ME TO BE AN OBVIOUS DESIGN FLAW AND HONDA SHOULD BE CORRECTING IT. I AM ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT LATER MODEL HONDA ACCORDS. I CERTAINLY DON'T WANT TO PURCHASE A NEW PROBLEM. ANY ASSISTANCE YOU COULD PROVIDE WOULD BE APPRECIATED. BY THE WAY, MY HONDA IS A "LX" MODEL. *AK

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
THIS PROBLEM HAS EXSISTED SINCE MY PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE READ AND EVEN BEEN INFORMED BY MY DEALER THAT THIS FAILURE IS COMMON TO MY MAKE MODEL AND YEAR VEHICLE. I HAVE ALSO BEEN TOLD THIS IS AT MY COST TO FIX, AND I FEEL THAT HONDA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FAULTY PART(S) NOT ME. I AM HOPING THAT ENOUGH PEOPLE WILL FILE COMPLAINTS SO THAT HONDA IS ASKED TO PERFORM A RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THIS FAILURE CAUSES A FALSE FUEL READING WHICH COULD LEAVE ME STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BECAUSE I MIGHT THINK I HAVE ENOUGH FUEL TO GO SOME WHERE AND END UP NOT HAVING ENOUGH. THIS FAILURE SHOULD BE HONDA'S COST TO FIX NOT MINE, AND MAYBE BY FILING THIS COMPLAINT ALL OF US WITH THIS PROBLEM WILL GET OUR VEHICLES RECALLED TO BE FIXED. *AK
