| 2007 | SEAT BELTS | THE SRS LIGHT ON MY HONDA WAS ON FOR THE PAST MONTH. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE THAT IS AFFECTING LOTS OF HONDA CIVICS OF 2006 AND 2007 THAT HONDA REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE. THE WIRING HARNESS HAS TO BE REPLACED AND THE PASSENGER SIDE WEIGHT SENSOR, WHICH IS CLOSE TO A $2000 REPAIR. WHEN I ASKED HONDA CORPORATE (CUSTOMER SERVICE [XXX] AT 800-999-1009) I WAS ARROGANTLY TOLD THEY DO NOT CARE BECAUSE THE CAR IS OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY. IT IS DISGRACEFUL THAT HONDA MARKETS SAFETY IN THEIR VEHICLES, BUT DOES NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR SRS SYSTEM FAILING PREMATURELY. THIS IS NOT A WEAR AND TEAM ITEM AND NO ONE SITS IN MY CAR BESIDES ME. THERE SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL ON THIS SINCE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY WHETHER OR NOT WE WEAR SEAT BELTS. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR |
| 1998 | VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS | THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THE WINDOW HAS A HARD TIME OPENING AND CLOSING. SOMETIMES THE WINDOW WOULD GET STUCK WHILE IN OPERATION AND THE ONLY WAY TO KEEP WINDOW MOVING IS TO CONSTANTLY SWITCH THE WINDOW SWITCH BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN OPENING AND CLOSING. WORST IS WHEN THE WINDOW WOULD SLIP OUT OF ITS SLIDING BRACKET. WHEN THIS HAPPENS,THE WINDOW IS TOTALLY STUCK AND THE DOOR HAS TO BE TAKEN APART SO THAT THE WINDOW CAN BE PUT BACK INTO ITS BRACKET. THIS IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE. *NM |
