“SEAT BELTS ARE VERY DIFFICULT TO FASTEN. IT TAKES SEVERAL QUICK JABS WITH THE BELT INTO THE RECEIVER TO GET BELT TO LOCK IN PLACE SO BELT IS ENGAGED. OTHERWISE BELT CANNOT BE WORN VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THIS ALL STARTED AS SOON AS I RECEIVED OWNERSHIP OF VEHICLE IN ABOUT 2007.”

“WHILE DRIVING AND WHEN IT PARKED IT SMELLING FUEL IT COMES NEAR FROM FILLER NECK,I THOUGHT IT WERE THE FUEL CAP BUT NOTHING CHANGE AFTER REPLACED FOR A NEW CAP (NO CODES AND NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS ON )AND DRIVER SEAT BELT SOMETIMES IT STUCKS AND BUCKLE WON'T CLICKS EASILY (2 TIMES WHILE DRIVING SEATBELT UNCLIP BY IT SELF) I CHECKED MY VIN NUMBER FOR ANY RECALLS BUT I DIDN'T FIND ANY RECALLS FOR THIS VEHICLE.”

“MY AIRBAG WAS REPLACED LAST YEAR. AND NOW IT WILL NOT PASS MANDATORY STATE INSPECTIONS DUE TO A ABS LIGHT THAT WILL NOT GO OFF. I'VE HAD MANY PEOPLE TRY AND FIGURE IT OUT? YET THE AIR BAG HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT. I NEED THIS FIXED IMMEDIATELY THE STATE OF VIRGINIA WILL NOT PASS THE AIR BAG LIGHT BEING ON UNKNOWN..”

“MY SON WAS CRITICALLY INJURED IN AN ACCIDENT IN 2014 WITH THIS VEHICLE. HE WAS ON A COUNTRY ROAD AND MISSED A SHARP CURVE ENTERING A FIELD. THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY, THE SEATBELT DID NOT HOLD AND THE SEAT BACK COLLAPSED. HE WAS EJECTED FROM THE VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE WAS TOTALED AS A RESULT OF THIS ACCIDENT AND I HAVE NOTIFIED HONDA MULTIPLE TIMES. I STILL RECEIVE RECALL NOTIFICATIONS.”

“SINCE 2016 I'VE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES. WE FIXED THEM AND THE PROBLEM CAME BACK. WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL AT TIMES IT DOES NOT WORK. MY MECHANIC SAID THAT BEHIND THE BRAKES, THERE IS A HOSE THAT NEEDS TO BE PURGED, BUT EVERY TIME THEY TRY TO DO THAT, IT DOES NOT WORK. THERE IS NO FLEXIBILITY ON THE HOSE. WE'VE ATTEMPTED FIXING THIS SEVERAL TIMES AND IT WORKS FOR A DAY AND THEN THE NEXT DAY IT DOES NOT WORK. PLEASE LET US KNOW IF THERE IS A WAY WE CAN FIX THIS. I'M AFRAID THIS ISSUES HAS ENDANGERED MY LIFE SEVERAL TIMES. I CANNOT DRIVE IT ANYMORE, BUT I ONLY HAVE THIS CAR. THE LATEST ISSUE WAS TODAY. AFTER HAVING IT AT THE SHOP FOR OVER A WEEK, I WAS DRIVING MY CAR OUT OF THE MY DRIVE WAY AND THE BRAKE WOULD NOT WORK. I'VE PARKED IT OUTSIDE MY HOME.THANK YOU, *TR”
