ELECTRICAL SYSTEM |
THE PASSENGER DOOR REGULARLY DOES NOT REMAIN ELECTRONICALLY LOCKED DESPITE USING THE DRIVER DOOR SWITCH AND/OR REMOTE. THIS COULD POSE A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN IF INVOLVED IN VEHICULAR ACCIDENTS SINCE THE OCCUPANTS MAY BECOME ENTRAPPED WHEN THE DEFECT PREVENTS AN OCCUPANT FROM UNLOCKING THE DOORS. FURTHERMORE, THIS DEFECT JEOPARDIZES THE SAFETY OF VEHICLE OCCUPANTS SINCE NOT ALL DOORS ARE CAPABLE OF BEING MANUALLY UNLOCKED FROM THE EXTERIOR. INSTEAD, AND WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE VEHICLES DRIVER DOOR, THE ELECTRONIC LOCKING MECHANISM IS THE ONLY METHOD AVAILABLE TO GAIN ACCESS TO THE VEHICLE FROM THE EXTERIOR - ONLY THE DRIVER'S DOOR HAS A SLOT ALLOWING USE OF A PHYSICAL KEY. WHILE THIS ISSUE RISKS THE SAFETY OF ALL OCCUPANTS, THE DOOR LOCK DEFECT POSES AN ACUTE RISK TO CHILDREN IN THE FRONT SEAT SINCE THEY MAY BE UNABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND, DUE TO THE LACK OF AN EXTERIOR LOCKING MECHANISM, AN INDIVIDUAL ON THE OUTSIDE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO UNLOCK THESE DOORS AND GAIN INTERIOR ACCESS. HONDA HAS APPARENTLY LONG BEEN WELL AWARE OF THIS ISSUE. DESPITE ITS LONGSTANDING KNOWLEDGE OF THIS DESIGN DEFECT, HONDA HAS ROUTINELY REFUSED TO REPAIR THE CARS WITHOUT CHARGE WHEN THE DEFECT MANIFESTS. AS A RESULT OF DEFENDANTS UNFAIR, DECEPTIVE AND/OR FRAUDULENT BUSINESS PRACTICES, OWNERS AND/OR LEASEES HAVE SUFFERED AN ASCERTAINABLE LOSS OF MONEY AND/OR PROPERTY AND/OR LOSS IN VALUE. THE UNFAIR AND DECEPTIVE TRADE PRACTICES COMMITTED BY HONDA HAS CAUSED MANY AGGRAVATING CIRCUMSTANCES. HAD I KNOWN ABOUT THIS DEFECT, AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE, I WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT IT, OR WOULD HAVE PAID SUBSTANTIALLY LESS FOR IT. HONDA'S ALLEGED ACTIONS TO PROPERLY NOTIFY CONSUMERS OF THIS ISSUE - AND TO OFFER SUCCESSFUL REPAIR AT NO CHARGE TO CONSUMERS - HAS SERIOUSLY HARMED HONDAS REPUTATION. *TR |

AIR BAGS |
THE BATTERY WENT DEAD ON MY 1998 HONDA CR-V. I HAD IT REPLACED, AND DISCOVERED THAT THE SRS(SAFETY RESTRAINT SYSTEM WAS DISABLED AS A RESULT OF DETERMINING THAT A NEW BATTERY WAS NEEDED. I CONTACTED A HONDA SERVICE CENTER AND WAS TOLD THAT AS LONG AS THE SRS LIGHT WAS ON, THE AIR BAG SYSTEM WAS OFF AND THAT IT WOULD COST ABOUT $90 TO HAVE IT TURNED OFF. I ALSO WAS TOLD TO DRIVE IT FOR A WEEK (WITHOUT PROTECTION FROM THE SRS AND PERHAPS THE COMPUTER WOULD RECYCLE AND TURN THE SRS BACK ON. MY COMPLAINT IS THIS: BECAUSE OF POOR ENGINEERING OF THE SRS SYSTEM AND THE COMPUTER, HONDA HAS FORCED ME TO EITHER DRIVE A CAR WITHOUT THE SAFETY THAT I BOUGHT, OR PAY A SERVICE CENTER TO ENABLE THE SYSTEM...ALL OVER A REAL SIMPLE REPAIR...REPLACING A BATTERY. I CAN UNDERSTAND THE NEED TO RESET THE CLOCK, RADIO, OR OTHER LESS ESSENTIAL ELECTRONICS, BUT THE AIR BAGS! HONDA IS FORCING ME TO SPEND MONEY THAT I DON'T HAVE IN ORDER TO USE A SAFETY SYSTEM THAT I FEEL IS ESSENTIAL FOR DRIVING SAFETY. HONDA SHOULD ENABLE THIS SYSTEM FOR ME AT NO CHARGE. PLEASE HELP.
