1999
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON MY 1999 HONDA CIVIC FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH IN SEPTEMBER 2002. I TOOK THE CAR TO GET A NEW SWITCH INSTALLED. AFTER THAT I DID NOT SEE A POSITIVE CHANGE OR FASTER START UP OF THE CAR . IN FACT, IT SEEMED TO START SLOWER AND SLOWER. WHEN I WOULD PRESS THE ACCELERATOR I FELT A GRINDING SENSATION UNDER MY FOOT FROM THE GAS PEDAL, WHICH SOUNDED LIKE THE CAR WAS STRUGGLING TO SPEED UP. ALSO, WHEN I WOULD TURN THE KEY IN THE IGNITION THE CAR WOULD NOT START RIGHT AWAY, IT STALLED FOR ABOUT (7) SEVEN SECONDS OR SO. I BELIEVE THIS CAR IS A LEMON. WHEN I BOUGHT IT, THE GEARS WOULDN'T CHANGE PROPERLY. I WOULD PRESS THE ACCELERATOR TO GO UP TO SPPED ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT WOULD TAKE A LONG TIME FOR THE CAR TO CHANGE GEARS, IT SOUNDED VERY LOUD BECAUSE OF THIS. I DON'T KNOW WHY IT DID THIS, I AM CONCERNED AND IT BECAME VERY ANNOYING. I HAD AN ACCIDENT WHILE DRIVING THIS CAR ON OCT. 16, 2002. AS I WAS DRIVING I HEARD SOMETHING CRACK UNDER THE CAR AND THE CAR STARTED TO SPIN TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD CAUSING ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR. I BELIEVE THE CAR HAD A SAFETY DEFECT THAT CAUSED THE WHEELS TO BREAK, RESULTING IN LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE INSURANCE ADJUSTER TOLD ME THESE ARE SOME OF THE DAMAGES TO THE CAR: THE BOTTOM OF THE FLOOR SHIFTED, THE AXLE BROKE, THE TIRES AND WHEELS BROKE, THEY DECLARED THE CAR A TOTAL LOSS. I BELIEVE THE WHEELS/TIRES BROKE FIRST, WHICH IS PROBABLY WHAT THE CRACKING SOUND WAS THAT I HEARD WHICH CAUSED THE CAR SWERVE. MY INSURANCE COMPANY PAID THE CAR OFF SO FAST WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THEY ARE HIDING SOMETHING. ASLO, I THINK THE STEERING OF THE CAR WAS OUT OF LINE, BECAUSE SOMETIMES THE CAR WOULD VEER TO THE RIGHT WHEN I WOULD BE DRIVING STRAIGHT IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO STAY IN THE LANE I WOULD APPRECIATE ALL THE INFORMATION YOU CAN GIVE TO HELP ME FIND OUT WHAT ELSE IS WRONG WITH THIS CAR AS I ALREADY SAID A RECALL FOR THE IGNITION WAS ISSUED MORE DEFECTS MAY BE FOUND.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
THIS SUMMER, FROM THE MONTH OF MAY ONWARDS, I FELT DIFFICULT IN BREATHING, BLURRED VISION AND SOMETIMES A SUDDEN CHEST PAIN WHILE DRIVING MY CIVIC WITH AC RUNNING, IT BLEW COOL BUT NOT COLD AIR, AND THERE WERE MANY INSTANCES THAT I ALMOST FELL OFF AND MY BODY BECAME OFF BALANCE WHILE WALKING AROUND AFTER DRIVING THE CIVIC. AT FIRST, I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE I AM GETTING OLD, 46YRS. BUT. LATER , I FOUND OUT THAT THERE IS A FREON LEAK WITHIN THE CAR WHEN AC IS ENGAGED . A TIF 5000 DETECTOR WAS USED TO CHECK AND CONFIRM THE PRESENT OF R134A IN THE COOL AIR INSIDE THE CIVIC. THE CHECK WAS CARRIED OUT UNDER CONDITION THAT AC SYSTEM IS BLOWING CLOSED CIRCULATIUON AIR WITHIN THE CAR. I FELT THAT THIS TYPE OF INCIDENT MIGHT POST A GREATER RISK OF AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS FOR ELDERLY DRIVERS AS THE R134A, FREON, IS POISONOUS AND ONCE THE DRIVERS UNAWARE OF ITS PRESENT AND INHALE IT AND PHYSICALLY LOSE CONTROL OF THEIR VEHICLES. ESPECIALLY ELDERLY ONES ARE MORE VULNERABLE AND ACCIDENTS HAPPEN. THERE ARE MANY ACCIDENTS MIGHT BE DUE TO THIS TYPE OF AC DEFECT. THE PUBLIC OR THE INVESTIGATORS MAY HAVE NOT REALIZED THIS IS ONE OF THE POSSIBLE CAUSES OF ACCIDENTS, AS THE CRASHES MAY HAVE PHYSICALLY DESTROY ALL THE EVIDENCES OF DEFECTIVE AC SYSTEM. I HOPE YOU WILL LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM. NOT ONLY HONDA AUTOMOBILES BUT ALL CARS IN THE USA. *TR
