| 2001 | POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION | MY HORN STOPPED WORKING AND MY SRS LIGHT CAME ON ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO. THE DEALER ORIGINALLY TOLD ME IT HAD TO DO WITH THE WIRING... COSTING ME $300 WHICH I COULD NOT AFFORD TO REPAIR. I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR THE AIR BAG RECALL AND NOW THEY ARE SAYING THE SRS LIGHT IS ON BECAUSE OF A DEFECT IN THE SEAT BELT BUCKLE ($200)- BUT WHY WOULD THAT MAKE MY HORN STOP WORKING? THERE ARE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS AND THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AS THIS IS INCREDIBLY UNSAFE AND OBVIOUSLY WIDESPREAD!!! HONDA ALSO NEEDS TO RECALL THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. I HAD FOUGHT THEM AND THEY PAID FOR HALF OF THE REPAIR COSTS WHEN MY TRANSMISSION DANGEROUSLY AND QUICKLY WENT OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC DURING RUSH HOUR ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO. THESE ARE MAJOR SAFETY ISSUES!! UNFORTUNATELY I CANNOT AFFORD THE REPAIRS BUT I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THE CAR WITH THE SRS LIGHT ON. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BECAUSE OF THE SUPPOSED RELIABILITY AND CHEAP MAINTENANCE. IT IS RIDICULOUS THAT HONDA IS NOT TAKING CAR OF THE SRS LIGHT PROBLEM AND TRANSMISSION PROBLEM!!! *TR |
| 1990 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FRONT UNDERHOOD | AFTER DRIVING MY CAR AND IT SITTING FOR APPROXIMATELY 1 AND A HALF HOURS I NOTICED THAT THEIR WAS FLAMES COMING FROM UNDER MY HOOD. I RAN OUT AND TURNED ON THE WATER HOSE AND STARTED TO SQUIRT IT AS A NEIGHBOR OPENED THE HOOD FOR ME BUT WE QUICKLY REALIZED THAT WASN'T GOING TO DO ANYTHING BECAUSE IT WAS ELECTRICAL, SO WE THEN DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY. WHICH STOPPED THE FIRE. *NM |
