ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
MY CAR HAS BEEN STALLING OUR FOR A PERIOD OF OVER TWO MONTHS ALMOST EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT. I RECENTLY TOOK IT INTO HONDA AND THEY SAID IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH MY O2 SENSOR. WHY DIDN'T THEY NOTIFY ME WHEN I WAS IN THE OFFICE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL NOTICE FOR MY FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH AND THAT WAS THE PROBLEM? THEY TOLD ME NOTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR, NEVER OFFERING THE INFORMATION ABOUT MY IGNITION SWITCH. I EVEN WENT OVER WITH THE HONDA SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT MY CAR KEPT STALLING OUT WHILE DRIVING. WHEN I WOULD SIT A STOP SIGH IT WOULD CUT OFF AS SOON AS I ATTEMPTED TO PULL OUT. I FEEL THESE PEOPLE WERE RUDE TO ME BECAUSE I AM A GIRL AND DO NOT KNOW MUCH ABOUT CARS, BUT THEY SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME THE TRUTH NO MATTER WHAT GENDER. DOES HONDA NOT KNOW ABOUT THEIR RECALL NOTICES? *PH **DIMSII IVOQ ENTRY POSTED AFTER 12/12/02 CUT OVER TO ARTEMIS**770818

TIRES:TREAD/BELT
THE HONDA DEALER REPAIRED MY FIRESTONE TIRE WITH A PLUG. LATER THE REPAIR DID NOT HOLD. I TOOK IT TO THE FIRESTONE STORE AND HE SAID A PLUG WAS AN INCORRECT AND UNSAFE WAY TO REPAIR THE TIRE. I THEN TOOK IT TO A GOODYEAR STORE AND HE TOLD ME THE SAME THING. I RETURNED TO THE HONDA DEALER AND TOLD HIM MY SITUATION; WHEREUPON HE SAID THE TIRE PEOPLE WERE TRYING TO SELL MORE TIRES AND EVERYONE KNOWS PLUG REPAIRS ARE THE MOST EFFICEINT WAY TO REPAIR A PUNCTURE BY A NAIL. CAN YOU COMMENT ON THE HONDA DEALER'S REMARKS? ARE THERE ANY REGULATIONS BY THE NHTSA ABOUT REPAIRS TO A TIRE WITH A PLUG? YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS QUESTION IS GREATLY APPRECIATED. HAROLD V.WEBB

AIR BAGS
WHILE TRAVELING THROUGH A PARKING LOT, A LAMP POST WAS HIT ON THE DRIVER SIDE QUARER PANEL ABOVE THE TIRE. THE SPEED TRAVELED WAS 5 MPH AND THE AIRBAGS WENT OFF. THERE ARE NUMEROUS PROBLEMS COMPLAINTS OF AIRBAGS NOT GOING OFF IN FRONTAL COLLISIONS, BUT A SIDE IMPACT AT 5 MPH CAUSED THE AIRBAG TO GO OFF, WHICH IN TURN ALSO TWISTED THE DASH BOARD AND BROKE THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. THE ACTUAL CRASH ITSELF CAUSED LESS THEN $500 OF DAMAGE, IT IS THE AIRBAG, WINDSHIELD, AND DASH BOARD THAT CAUSED ALL OF THE DAMAGE.

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD, VISIBILITY:REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES:INTERIOR
I WAS DRIVING FROM SF HOME AND MY REAR VIEW MIRROR FELL OFF, TAKING A PIECE OF MY WINDSHIELD WITH IT. I DON'T HAVE A HOLE IN MY WINDSHIELD, MORE LIKE A CRATER ON THE INSIDE OF IT. MY CAR IS A 1994 HONDA CIVIC DX COUPE WITH ABOUT 116,000 MILES ON IT. I UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS OUT OF THE BASIC WARRANTY, BUT THIS ISN'T AN ISSUE THAT HAS TO DO WITH NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. MY WINDSHIELD IS PERFECTLY FINE OTHERWISE AND NOTHING HIT MY CAR WHEN IT HAPPENED NOR DID I RUN OVER SOMETHING THAT MAY OF JOLTED MY CAR. I CALLED HONDA AND THEY DENIED MY CLAIM SAYING ONLY SEAT BELTS HAVE UNLIMITED WARRANTY. TS

STEERING
IF A HARD TAKE OFF IS MADE THE STEERING WHEEL ALONG WITH THE CAR ABRUPTLY PULLS RIGHT. I'VE TOOK MY VEHICLE WHICH IS A 1996 HONDA CIVIC EX TO A CERTIFIED REPAIR SHOP AND THE TECHNICIAN INFORMED ME MY ALIGNMENT WAS IN SPECIFICATIONS. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS OCCASIONS OVER THE PAST 6 MONTHS AND IN MY OPINION THIS COULD EVENTUALLY CAUSE ME TO LOSE CONTROL AND EITHER CAUSE OR HAVE AN ACCIDENT.
