(1) NORMAL DRIVING OF MY 1997 HONDA CIVIC 4 DOOR DX (2) THE SRS LIGHT IS NOW ILLUMINATED AND HAS STAYED ILLUMINATED FOR THE LAST YEAR - THIS MEANS MY AIRBAGS DON'T WORK. - DEALER CHECKED IT OUT ($90 CHARGE) AND SAID THAT MY SRS UNIT IS COMPLETELY DEAD AND CAN'T TELL ME WHY - CAR HAS NEVER BEEN WRECKED - NO PROBLEMS WITH IT OTHER THAN THIS DEFECT (PRETTY HUGE DEFECT). (3) I'VE LODGED A COUPLE OF COMPLAINTS AND NEVER HEARD ANYTHING BACK ON THEM. SEVERAL PEOPLE POST TO MESSAGE BOARDS WITH SAME PROBLEM - THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED - I CAN'T AFFORD TO BUY A NEW CAR AND AM CURRENTLY RIDING IN A DANGEROUS ONE BECAUSE OF DEFECTIVE EQUIPMENT. COST TO FIX THIS IS > $1000... PLEASE HELP. *NM

PURCHASED VEHICLE NEW FROM SCHRODER'S HONDA. AFTER THE PURCHASE TRANSACTION WAS COMPLETE, THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE WERE 3 RECALLS THAT NEED TO BE PERFORMED, WE SCHEDULED A DATE TO DO THEM AT THAT TIME. WHEN I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE BACK TO DO THE RECALLS THEY WERE TOO BUSY TO DO THEM AND RESCHEDULED. THE SECOND TIME THERE, THEY ALLEGEDLY PERFORMED 2 OF THE 3 RECALLS. ONE OF THEM WAS REPLACING THE HANDLEBAR MOUNTS TO PREVENT THEM FROM COMING LOOSE. THEY DIDN'T DO ALL THREE BECAUSE THEY FORGOT TO ORDER THE PARTS. THE NEXT MORNING WHILE RIDING, MY HANDLEBARS CAME LOOSE. I PULLED THE COVER OFF TO FIND OUT THAT THEY FORGOT TO TIGHTEN 2 OF THE 4 BOLTS THAT HELD THEM ON TO THE BIKE. I CALLED THE DEALER ABOUT IT AND THE SERVICE MANAGER DIDN'T EVEN APOLOGIZE OR ATTEMPT TO MAKE THE PROBLEM RIGHT. AT THAT POINT I DIDN'T FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THAT SERVICE DEPARTMENT PERFORMING THE FINAL RECALL, SO I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER HONDA DEALER. THEY CANNOT PERFORM THE RECALL THOUGH BECAUSE SCHRODER'S HONDA REPORTED THAT THEY ALREADY DID THAT RECALL. MR HONDA VERIFIED ON THE BIKE THAT THE RECALL HASN'T BEEN DONE. NOW I HAVE A VEHICLE THAT'S NOT SAFE AND NO WAY TO MAKE IT SAFE. PLEASE HELP. *JB

I HAVE HAD A TRANSMISSION FAILURE IN MY HONDA ACCORD. WHEN I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC IN PARKVILLE, MISSOURI, HE CHECKED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND FOUND IT BLACK. HE FLUSHED THE TRANSMISSION, PUT NEW FLUID IN, AND CHANGED A FILTER BEHIND THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT. HE TOLD ME THAT HONDA FROM 98 TO 2002 HAD TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. HE TOLD ME TO DRIVE THE CAR FOR A FEW DAYS AND SEE IF THAT DIDN'T FIX IT. I COULD TELL AS I DROVE HOME THAT IT WAS NOT FIXED. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT A NEW TRANSMISSION WOULD COST 1,600 TO 1,800 DOLLARS. SINCE I HAVE HAD TO GET A NEW ENGINE IN MY ACCORD OR MY LEMON, THREE NEW BATTERIES, AND NOW A NEW TRANSMISSION AND IT IS NOT ALREADY PAID FOR BECAUSE I LEASED IT AND AM IN THE PROCESS OF BUYING IT, I NEED ALL THE HELP I CAN GET. *NM

TURN IGNITION KEY. NO CRANK. NO START. REPEATEDLY TRIED TO TURN IGNITION KEY. AGAIN, NO CRANK START. POWER WINDOWS, RADIO AND LIGHTS APPEARED WORKABLE.

I PURCHASED AN ACURA MDX IN NOVEMBER OF 01 AND FROM FEBRUARY OF 02 UNTIL AUGUST OF 03' MY TRANSMISSION KEPT DOWN SHIFTING AND I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS APPROX 6 TIMES WITH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WRITTING THAT MY TRANS WAS ASSEMPLED INCORRECTLY. THEY TRIED TO FIX IT AGAIN BECAUSE THE SAME ISSUE OCCURED UNTIL I FINALLY GAVE UP AND RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE FINANCE COMPANY. I TRIED AAFTER THE 3RD TIME TO GET IT FILED UNDER THE LEMON LAW AND THE DEALER NOR AMERICAN HONDA WOULD ASSIST ME CAUSING ME TO FILE BANKRUPTCY.

I WAS NOT NOTIFIED ABOUT THE RECALL OF THE VEHICLE FOR TRANSMISSION FAILURES. WHEN I FOUND OUT MY TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED, I WAS TOLD BY HONDA CUSTOMER LINE EMPLOYEE AT 800 999 1009 THAT A REPAIR WAS MADE TO MY VEHICLE WITHOUT TELLING ME IT WAS DONE. THE RECALL WAS APRIL 2004. THE ALLEGED REPAIR WAS IN MAY 2004. THE ALLEGED NOTICE MAILED TO ME WAS JULY 2004. I SMELL DECEPTION BY HONDA. THEY MAY BE COVERING UP A BIGGER PROBLEM WITH THE ODYSSEY THAN NHTSA IS AWARE. I HAVE HEARD THAT SEVERAL OWNERS OF 2002 ODYSSEYS HAVE HAD TRANSMISSION FAILURES THAT COULD LEAD TO LOCKING UP OF THE VANS AND COULD LEAD TO CRASHES. MY VAN RECENTLY DID NOT ACCELERATE WHILE ENTERING THE INTERSTATE IN DAYTON OHIO. THIS NEARLY LEAD TO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT INVOLVING MY WIFE AND TWO KIDS. I LEARNED OF THIS RECALL FROM CONSUMER REPORTS . THE SO CALLED REPAIR IN 2004 FAILED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *NM
