I RECEIVED A NOTICE IN 2010 REGARDING AN AIRBAG SAFETY RECALL FOR MY CAR. I CALLED A LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP ON JUNE 25, 2010 TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. HOWEVER, I WAS NEVER CALLED BACK. I WAS TOLD THAT THE PARTS WOULD BE ORDERED AND IT WOULD TAKE 1-2 DAYS TO RECEIVE AND ONCE THE PARTS WERE RECEIVED, I WOULD BE CONTACTED TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT THEN. I NEVER RECEIVED THE CALL AGAIN AND I ASSUMED IT MAY HAVE TAKEN LONGER FOR THE PARTS TO BE RECEIVED SO I HAD WAITED LONGER. I RECEIVED THE SAME RECALL NOTICE AGAIN THIS YEAR AND SUDDENLY REMEMBERED THAT I HAD TRIED TO SCHEDULE THE APPOINTMENT SINCE LAST YEAR. IT HAS OBVIOUSLY BEEN MORE THAN 60 DAYS SINCE I HAD FIRST CONTACTED THE DEALER FOR AN APPOINTMENT.

MY 2001 HONDA CIVIC STOPPED RUNNING WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN THE FAST LANE OF THE 101 FWY IN L.A. NO INDICATION OF ANY PROBLEM. I DEPRESSED THE GAS PEDAL AND THE ENGINE JUST REVVED LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL; THERE WAS NO ACCELERATION. I WENT FROM GOING APPROX 60 MPH TO COASTING. I MANAGED TO GET ACROSS 4 LANES OF HEAVY TRAFFIC AND OFF THE FWY WITHOUT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. 2 HOURS LATER MY CAR WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST HONDA DEALER AND I WAS INFORMED THAT MY CAR NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. *TR

ON MAY 6, 2011 CAR WOULD REV UP A LITTLE AFTER TAKING OFF FROM A RED LIGHT AS IF IT WAS HAVING DIFFICULTY SHIFTING TO 2ND TO 3RD GEAR. BY THE 3RD RED LIGHT THE CAR WOULD HARDLY MOVE AND I WAS TRYING TO GET OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH THE CAR JUST ROLLING. I MANAGED TO ROLL IT OFF THE ROAD BUT CARS IN BACK OF ME WERE BEEPING THEIR HORNS AND CARS HAD TO SLOW DOWN SO THAT I COULD PULL INTO A PARKING LOT. VERY SCARY. 3 WEEKS PRIOR TO THIS I HAD MY CAR SERVICED AT CROWN HONDA DEALERSHIP. THEY, AS A SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE HAD TIMING BELT, WATER PUMP, BELTS, OIL CHANGE AND 4 TIRES REPLACED FOR $1,300. HONDA DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT THE PROBLEM IS TRANSMISSION AND HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE PRIOR WORK, WHICH IS UNDER WARRANTY. TOWED CAR TO ANOTHER SERVICE STATION AND THEY SAID THE TRANSMISSION BURNED OUT AND ALSO NEEDS A TORQUE CONVERTER. I HEARD THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH 2001 HONDA CIVICS. THIS WAS A DANGEROUS SITUATION BUT WAS IT CAUSED BY THE PRIOR WORK OR A DEFECTIVE TORQUE CONVERTER OR TRANSMISSION? *TR

MY HONDA CIVIC WAS BROUGHT IN TO PLANET HONDA LOCATED IN UNION NJ FOR A RECALL ON AIRBAGS AND HEADLIGHTS TO BE CORRECTED IN MAY 2010. I WAS GIVING BACK MY VEHICLE AND ASSURED ALL ITEMS WERE CORRECTED. A YEAR LATER, ON APRIL 23, 2011 AT 1AM I WAS DRIVING AND MY LOW BEAMS FAILED. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE IN A WELL LIT AREA AND WAS ABLE TO ACCESS MY HIGHBEAMS BEFORE ANY INCIDENTS OCCURRED. AFTER SPEAKING TO MY MECHANIC HE REPORTED IT WAS DUE TOT THE SWITCH THAT WAS INVOLVED IN THE RECALL. I THEN WENT BACK TO PLANET HONDA AND AFTER MUCH ARGUING I HAD TO AGREE TO PAY $105 DIAGNOSTIC FEE TO HAVE THEM REVIEW THEIR WORK. I WAS THEN INFORMED 6 HOURS LATER THAT INDEED THIS WAS RELATED TO THE RECALL AND IT WAS THEIR MISTAKE. HONDA NEEDS TO REVIEW ALL THEIR WORK THEY HAVE DONE ON ALL CIVICS BECAUSE IT SEEMS THEY WERE UNSURE HOW TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM IN THE BEGINNING.
