| 1998 | POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION | THE PROBLEM WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID.. THE DEALER REFUSES TO FIX THE PROBLEM, EVEN THOUGH THE ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION NEVER DID THIS. OSHA AND THE EPA INDICATE THAT LONG TERM EXPOSURE TO TRANSMISSION FLUID FUMES ARE HAZAROUS. I REQUIRE YOUR HELP IN ORDER TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REPAIRED, AS IT IS UNDER WARANTY AND HONDA REFUSES TO FIX THE PROBLEM. DRIVING THE CAR IS UNSAFE.*AK |
| 2001 | SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS | BRAKE SYSTEM IS MALFUNCTIONING AND ENGAGING INVOLUNTARILY. FRONT END VIBRATES. ALSO, LEFT WHEEL GETS HOT AND LOCKS UP. VEHICLE HAS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND SHOULD ROLL BACK WHEN THE FOOT IS TAKEN OFF OF BRAKE PEDAL ON AN INCLINE. INSTEAD, THE VEHICLE DOES NOT MOVE. DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM. *AK THE VEHICLE WOULD VIBRATE TO THE POINT WHERE THE CONSUMER WOULD HAVE TO PULL OFF OF THE ROAD, FOR A THIRD TIME THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE LEFT FRONT BRAKE CALIPER AND HOSE HAVE BEEN REPLACED. CONSUMER DOES NOT KNOW IF THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN CORRECTED. *SCC |
