2011 HONDA CR-Z Complaints

THE AUTOMATIC AIR DOES NOT ALWAYS TURN ON WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED. ALSO, THE REAR HATCH IS ALWAYS FROZEN SHUT IN TEMPERATURES BELOW 32 DEGRESS....

I HAVE A 2011 HONDA CRZ HYBRID. I HAVE TROUBLE WITH THE HEADLIGHTS ON LOW BEAMS. THE VISIBILITY IS TERRIBLE. ON A HILLY, CURVY ROAD I CAN ONLY SEE ABOUT 10-15 FEET AHEAD. IT APPEARS THAT A DAARK SHADE IS PULLED 2/3S OF THE WAY DOWN ON THE WINDSHIELD. YOU CAN SEE THE POSTS BUT NOT THE SIGN ON TOP OF THE POST. THE HEADLIGHTS ARE HID ACCORDING TO THE INFORMATION IN MY OWNERS MANUAL. I THINK THIS IS UNSAFE. I HAVE HAD 4 PEOPLE DIRIVE MY CAR AT NIGHT, AND THEIR REACTION IS THE SAME. GOOD LORD, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOUR HEADLIGHTS. I WROTE A LETTER TO HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE, AND A LADY CALLED ME BACK AND SAID THER WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY HEADLIGHTS. I DON'T KNOW HOW SHE KNOWS, SHE HASN'T DRIVEN MY CAR. I JUST WANT MY HEADLIGHTS FIXED. *TR

****REVISION TO PREVIOUS COMPLAINT**** I WAS RECENTLY INVOLVED IN A FRONTAL COLLISION IN THIS VEHICLE. I AM FINE, HOWEVER, THE SEAT BELT DID NOT HOLD ME TO THE SEAT PROPERLY. AS THE IMPACT HAPPENED THE SEAT BELT LOCKED AND HELD ME MIDWAY, FROM THE BACK OF THE SEAT TO THE STEERING WHEEL, AND DID NOT 'PRETENSION' ME PROPERLY (PULL ME BACK AND HOLD ME SUNG TO THE SEAT. BECAUSE OF THIS, WHILE THE SEAT BELT WAS HOLDING ME MIDWAY, THE AIR BAG CAME OUT AT FULL FORCE AND THE CENTER OF THE AIRBAG IMPACTED ME IN THE MIDDLE OF MY CHEST, MORE SPECIFICALLY MY STERNUM. IF I WAS GOING TO COME INTO CONTACT WITH THE AIRBAG IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN AFTER THE AIRBAG WAS FULLY DEPLOYED, INSTEAD, THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED AND IMPACTED MY CHEST. *TR
