DEALERSHIP EXAMINED VEHICLE FOR ENGINE STALLING, BUT HAS FAILED TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. *AK WHILE DRIVING, CONSUMER HEARD A METAL TO METAL SOUND COMING FROM RIGHT WHEEL WELL.

THE FACTORY REARVIEW MIRROR'S HEIGHT FROM THE FLOOR/CEILING CANNOT BE ADJUSTED, AND SINCE I AM SIX FEET TALL, THE MIRROR'S POSITION BLOCKS A LARGE FRACTION OF MY FORWARD VISION. THE MIRROR CAN COMPLETELY HIDE A CAR TRAVELING OR MERGING IN A LANE TO THE FORWARD RIGHT OF MY VEHICLE. ALSO, I HAVE TO SCRUNCH DOWN TO LOOK UNDER THE MIRROR IN ORDER TO MAKE A SAFE RIGHT-HAND TURN. I WILL BE REPLACING THE MIRROR WITH ONE THAT HAS TWO PIVOT-POINTS SO THAT ITS HEIGHT CAN BE ADJUSTED, AND I WISH THE GOVERNMENT WOULD ENCOURAGE HONDA AND ALL MANUFACTURERS TO USE MIRRORS THAT CAN BE REPOSITIONED SO AS NOT TO BLOCK THE VISION OF TALLER DRIVERS.*AK

INTERIOR LIGHT HUMS AS IT DIMS. DEALER SAYS IT HAS BEEN FIXED. I'VE HAD IT IN THE SHOP TWO TIMES. I JUST PICKED IT UP TODAY, SHOP MANAGER, BRIAN, SAYS THAT IT IS REPAIRED, BUT IT IS NOT. *AK

THE SPEEDOMETER GAUGE WILL BECOME ERRATIC AND STOP FUNCTIONING FOR A SHORT TIME. THIS SEEMS A BIT DANGEROUS TO ME. ALSO, THE FUEL GAUGE FLUCTUATES TOO MUCH MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL REMAINS.*AK
