SEAT BELTS:FRONT:ANCHORAGE
THE SEATBELT IN MY HONDA ACCORD IS TOO SMALL FOR ME TO USE. HONDA CANNOT PROVIDE ME WITH A SEAT BELT EXTENSION WHICH WOULD ALLOW ME TO USE THE SEATBELT. NOT ONLY AM I COMPROMISING MY SAFETY, BUT I HAVE ALREADY BEEN TICKETED ONCE FOR FAILING TO WEAR MY SEATBELT. THE HIGHWAY PATROL OFFICER DID NOT BELIEVE THAT I COULD NOT OBTAIN AN EXTENDER FROM THE MANUFACTURER. *AK

SUSPENSION:FRONT, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM, FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:TRUNK LID:LOCK
THE CAR PULLS TOWARDS THE LEFT VERY STRONGLY AND YOU NEED TO APPLY FORCE TO KEEP IT STRAIGHT. I GOT ALL OF THE WHEELS ALIGNED, BUT IT DIDN'T HAVE ANY EFFECT. THE EXHAUST SYSTEM MAKES UNNECESSARILY LOT OF NOISE, THE GAS INDICATOR DOES NOT SHOW THE FULL INDICATOR. THE TRUNK HYDRAULIC OPENING SYSTEM DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY EVEN THOUGH THE DEALER REPLACED IT UNDER TEH WARRANTY, STILL IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM. *AK

TIRES
FRONT LEFT ALLOY WHEEL CAUSES AIR TO LEAK FROM TIRE. DEALER HAS ATTEMPTED TO RE-SEAL TIRE TO ALLOY WHEEL THREE TIMES. TIRE IS NOT DEFECTIVE. DEALER RECOMMENDS WHEEL REPLACEMENT. THIS APPEARS TO BE DUE TO FAULTY DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING ON THE PART OF HONDA. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO MAINTAIN PROPER AIR PRESSURE IN THE TIRE WITHOUT REFILLING IT DAILY. DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITH INADEQUATE AIR IN THE TIRE AFFECTS HANDLING AND VEHICLE SAFETY. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT OTHER OWNERS OF '94-'95 ACCORD EX 4-CYLINDER MODELS AREN'T EXPERIENCING SIMILAR PROBLEMS. I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE ANY HELP YOU CAN OFFER. THANK YOU. *AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
MY ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM HAS COMPLETELY FAILED, RESULTING IN A $1,300.00 ESTIMATE TO GET THEM REPAIRED. THE REPAIR SHOP ADVISED ME THAT MANY SIMILAR HONDA VEHICLES ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. SINCE NOT MANY OWNERS WOULD BE WILLING TO PAY $1,300.00 TO GET THE ABS REPAIRED, IT RENDERS THE ABS SYSTEM USELESS. AS MY VEHICLE ONLY HAD 60,000 MILES, IT APPEARS THIS PROBLEM IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. *AK
