AIR BAGS
ON FOUR DIFFERENT OCCAISIONS, THE SRS LIGHT (AIR BAG) GOES ON. IT REMAINS ON. EACH TIME, WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO THREE DIFFERENT HONDA DEALERSHIP. THEY CLAIM THAT THEY FIX IT. WITHIN A FEW DAYS, THE LIGHT GOES ON AGAIN. IT IS NOW IN A HONDA SHOP IN ORLANDO. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD HER THAT SOME HONDAS ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. HE TOLD HER THAT THE AIR BAGS MAY NOT DEPLOY DURING A CRASH. THEREFORE THE CAR HAS NO SAFETY VALUE. THEY ALSO TOLD HER THAT A PALM PILOT, LAPTOP COMPUTER OR CELL PHONE CAN BE USED IN THE FRONT SEAT. HONDA MUST RECALL THESE CARS AND FIX THE AIRBAG OR REPLACE THE CAR. *AK

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
THE ACCELERATOR STUCK AND I APPLIED THE BRAKES BUT THE CAR CONTINUED TO GO FASTER. THE CAR CONTINUED TO GAIN SPEED WHICH RESULTED WITH THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CAR GOING IN THE DITCH. THIS CAUSED THE CAR TO AIRBORNE. WHEN THE CAR LANDED IT CONTINUED TO PLOW FORWARD FOR ANOTHER 20 FEET OR SO BEFORE STOPPING TWO FEET FROM ANOTHER DITCH. I WAS APPLYING THE BRAKES THE ENTIRE TIME WITH NO RESULTS. BOTH OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED WHICH CAUSED INJURY TO MY HAND AND ARM.*AK

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
THE ACCELERATOR STUCK AND I WAS UNABLE TO GET THE CAR TO SLOW DOWN. I ATTEMPTED PULLING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, PUTTING THE CAR IN FIRST GEAR, AND APPLYING THE BREAK WITH NO RESPONSE. THIS INCIDENT WAS RECORDED ON A 911 CALL THAT I MADE DURING THE ENTIRE EVENT. I DID GIVE DETAILS OF WHAT I WAS DOING TO PREVENT THE CAR FROM ACCELERATING HOWEVER ALL MEASURES FAILED. I DID EVENTUALLY PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNED THE KEY TO GET THE VEHICLE TO STOP. HONDA IS NOW DENYING ANY MALFUCTION.*AK

AIR BAGS
I HAVE TAKEN MY HONDA INTO THE DEALERSHIP 5 TIMES BECAUSE THE SRS LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON. THE THIRD VISIT TO THE SERVICE DEALER, THEY DETECTED THAT THE SENSOR WAS MALFUNCTIONING AND A REPLACEMENT PART WOULD BE ORDERED. ONE MONTH LATER, THE PART ARRIVED, WAS INSTALLED, AND THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. UPON MY RETURN, THE SERVICE DEALER (CLAIR HONDA) INFORMED ME THAT THE HONDA TECH LINE SAID THAT HONDA IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, INSTRUCTED THE SERVICE DEALER TO RESET THE LIGHT AND TOLD THE DEALER THAT A REPLACEMENT PART MAY BE READY IN JUNE, AT WHICH TIME HONDA IS PLANNING A RECALL. IN THE MEANTIME MY AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY, AND I WILL HAVE BEEN WITHOUT FUNCTIONING AIRBAGS FOR OVER A YEAR. BEING THAT I DRIVE 25000 MILES A YEAR, I AM VERY UPSET AT THE LACK OF RESPONSE FROM HONDA. I BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR ITS SAFETY FEATURES AND AM DISAPPOINTED THAT HONDA WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THIS.*AK

SEAT BELTS:FRONT:BUCKLE ASSEMBLY
SEAT BELTS ON BOTH SIDES OF FRONT HAVE OPENED BY THEMSELVES AFTER SEEMING TO BE LATCHED; FIRST TIME WAS DRIVER'S SIDE, I TOOK IT TO LOCAL DEALER WHO "CLEANED" IT EVEN THOUGH I SAW NO DIRT, SEEMS TO BE WORKING; BUT NOW THE PASSENGER SIDE IS DOING THE SAME THING, OPENING BY ITSELF DURING DRIVING; AGAIN TOOK IT TO LOCAL DEALER, THEY OFFERED TO "CLEAN" IT AGAIN BUT I SAID NO, I DID NOT SEE ANY DIRT AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IF SOMEONE HAD SPILLED A DRINK ON IT THE SEAT BELT WOULD NOT WORK ANY MORE; I ADVISED NORTH AMERICAN HONDA (TINA AT 1-800-999-1009, EXT. 118088, CASE NUMBER N-012001-10-18-00512), THEY OFFERED TO REPLACE SEAT BELT WITH NEW ONE BUT OF SAME DESIGN AND I SAID NO. TO SUM UP, BELTS APPEAR TO BE LATCHED BUT ARE NOT, AND I DID NOT SEE ANY DIRT OR OTHER BARRIERS, AND FURTHERMORE EVEN IF SOMEONE DID ACTUALLY SPILL A DRINK I CANNOT IMAGINE THAT WOULD CAUSE A SEATBELT (TWICE NOW) TO FAIL TO STAY CLOSED. I AM CONVINCED THIS DESIGN IS NOT SAFE.*AK
