I AM HAVING ISSUES W/TEMP GAUGE GOING UP AND DOWN , MAY HAVE TO HAVE A BIG ENG, JOB DONE, THIS IS NOT RIGHT, I TAKE VERY GREAT CARE OF MY CARS, NEAVER HAD ISSUES LIKE THIS BEFORE, ? HEATER CORE, , AND PAINT ON THE ROOF!!! WHY THE REST OF CAR IS FINE, LOOKS LIKE SKIN CANCER ,THIS SHOULD BE FIXED!!! I HAVE HEARD THAT THEY ARE REDOING THIS! CAR RUNS OK,, TEMP GAUGE IS A BIG ISSUE 151,000 MILES. GOOD FOR THE YR!!!

DURING LATE NIGHT DRIVE IN CLEAR WEATHER AT ABOUT 30 MPH, AUTO VEERED INTO UTILITY POLE HITTING ON DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT. THE HONDA ACCORD COUPE HAS SEAT BELT WHOSE HEIGHT WHERE MOUNTED TO SIDE BODY OF CAR IS NOT ADJUSTABLE. THE SEAT BELT WORN CORRECTLY BY DRIVER, CUT ACROSS THE NECK OF THE 5'3" DRIVER AND ABOVE HER RIGHT BREAST. DRIVER WAS TRANSPORTED BY AMBULANCE TO TWO HOSPITALS (THE FIRST DIDN'T FEEL IT COULD HANDLE THE INJURY). THE ONLY MAJOR INJURY WAS C2 CERVICAL FRACTURE REQUIRING (SO FAR) THE WEARING OF A RIGID MIAMI J NECK BRACE. FOLLOWUP WITH NEUROSURGEON WILL DETERMINE WHETHER THE INJURED NECK IS HEALING PROPERLY OR WILL REQUIRE SURGERY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT BECAME TANGLED AROUND THE SEAT ADJUSTER LATCH. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000. *TR UPDATED 7/10/13 *CN

WHEN RETRACTING, THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT CAN CATCH ON THE POWER SEAT LEVER WHICH RECLINES THE DRIVER SEAT. AS A RESULT, THE SEAT BACK RECLINES UNLESS SOMEONE DETERMINES THE REASON FOR THE SEAT GOING BACK. THE SEAT RECLINES WITH SUCH FORCE THAT ANYONE SITTING IN THE BACK SEAT CAN BE SEVERELY INJURED AND POTENTIALLY CRUSHED BY THE FORCE. *NM

PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT BUCKLE WAS DEFECTIVE. WHEN THE VEHICLE GOES AROUND A CORNER THE PASSENGER BUCKLE COMES LOOSE. *AK

PROBLEMS WITH THE 1999 HONDA ACCORD REAR SEAT BELTS.***NO ANSWER REQUIRED***. *MR DUE TO MANUFACTURER DESIGN, THE REAR SEAT BELTS ARE UNCOMFORTABLE AND CHOKE PASSENGERS SEATED IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. *TT *NM

THE REAR SEAT BELTS TIGHTENED AS THE CONSUMER TRIED TO PULL IT FOR SLACK. THE CONSUMER HAD TO CUT THE SEAT BELT FROM THE REAR PASSENGER. THE PASSENGER SUSTAIN SOME MARKS FROM THE TIGHT SEAT BELT. *TS *NLM

WHEN REAR SEATBELT STARTS TO RETRACT, IT WILL CAUSE SEATBELT TO UNLOCK, CAUSING CHILD SEAT TO BE UNSECURE. DEALER NOTIFIED. *AK CONSUMER STATES THAT HE TRIED TO GET SERVICE PER WARRANTY, HOWEVER THE DEALER ADVISED HIM THAT THE CENTER REAR BELT WAS OPERATING WITHIN NORMAL PARAMETERS AND REFUSED SERVICE. *SCC

THE HONDA 2000 COUPE EX IS ALSO DISPLAYING THE SAME FAILURE WITH THE DRIVER SEATBELT. *AK

RETURNED TO CAR TO FIND THE DRIVER'S SEAT IN THE FULLY RECLINED POSITION. IT IS APPARANT THAT THE SEAT/SHOULDER BELT WILL HANG UP ON THE ADJUSTING LEVER OF THE SEAT AND CAUSE IT TO RECLINE OVER A PERIOD OF SEVERAL MINUTES. THE DEALER SHIP WAS TOLD OF THIS ON MARCH 20, 2002. THEY SAID, "THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE BELT IS TWISTED." THE INVOICE,NUMBER HOCS256282 STATED THE SEAT BELT WAS UNTWISTED, ON MARCH 22, 2002, I FOUND THE SEAT FULLY RECLINED AGAIN.*AK

REAR SEAT BELTS ON BOTH SIDES HAVE FRAYED IN IDENTICAL PLACES, WHERE THE SHOULDER BELT ENTERS THE HOUSING IN THE SEAT. PLASTIC "GUARD" IS SHARPED EDGED, AND HAS CUT 1/2" INTO EACH SEAT BELT. SHOWED TO DEALER DURING ROUTINE MTC. THEY CLAIMED THEY HADN'T SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS ("DID YOU CLOSE IT IN THE DOOR?" "NO, WE HARDLY USE THE BACK SEATS AT ALL, SINCE ONLY TWO ADULTS RIDE/DRIVE THIS CAR.") THEY AGREED TO ONE ROUND OF REPLACEMENT UNDER WARRANTY, BUT WE EXPECT IT MAY HAPPEN AGAIN.*AK

DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT MAY NOT RETRACT IMMEDIATELY WHEN YOU EXIT THE CAR. IF IT DOESN'T, IT WILL RETRACT, BUT WILL GET CAUGHT ON THE POWER SEAT CONTROLS. WHEN IT RETRACTS, IT PULLS THE SEAT RECLINE LEVER AND CAUSES THE SEAT BACK TO RECLINE UNTIL IT CANNOT DO SO BECAUSE IT IS STOPPED BY THE REAR SEAT. ONE TIME THIS HAPPENED, I WAS OUT OF THE CAR FOR FIVE MINUTES AND WHEN I GOT BACK IN, I COULD SMELL THE POWER SEAT MOTOR BURNING - THE SEAT BELT WAS FORCING THE DRIVER'S SEAT TO RECLINE. IF ONE OF MY KIDS WERE IN THE BACK SEAT, SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN PINNED AND COULD HAVE BEEN SEVERELY INJURED. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID NOTHING COULD BE DONE (EXCEPT FOR SOME TYPE OF GUARD OVER THE POWER SEAT CONTROLS). I THINK THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW - NOT A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. ITS A GREAT CAR OTHER THAN THIS STRANGE PROBLEM. *AK

REAR DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S SEATBELTS TIGHTEN TOO HARD WHICH CAUSES THE OCCUPANTS TO CHOKE AND RELEASE THE BUCKLE. THEY ARE UNABLE TO WEAR THE REAR SEATBELTS. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK

REAR SEAT BELT WON'T RETRACT, AND THE CONSUMER CAN'T USE THE REAR SEAT BELT. *AK

DESIGN OF SEAT BELT EXPERIENCE FAILURE WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED WHICH CONTINUES TO TIGHTEN UNTIL YOU FEEL "CHOCKED" EVEN ONCE THE BRAKES ARE RELEASED, RESULTING IN DISCOMFORT FOR THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS. *YC

CONSUMER'S 4- YEAR OLD CHILD WAS ABLE TO PULL SHOULDER STRAP AROUND HIS HEAD AND NECK TWICE. WHEN THE CHILD LET THE STRAP GO IT LOCKED UP, PULLING CHILD UP TO THE WINDOW AND CHOKING HIM, ALMOST TO DEATH. CHILD DID SURVIVE THE INCIDENT. *AK

I FEEL THERE IS A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM WITH THE REAR SEAT BELTS. WHEN YOU PUT THEM ON, THEY LOCK TIGHT AROUND YOUR NECK AND YOU CAN NOT LOOSEN THEM UNLESS YOU UNHOOK THEM AND LET THE BELT GO ALL THE WAY BACK. I WENT TO THE DEALER TODAY TO SEE IF THIS WAS A DEFECT AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS WHAT THEY ARE SUPOSED TO DO. IF THESE BELTS DO NOT GIVE DURING A COLLISION, THEY WILL BREAK YOUR NECK OR CHOKE YOU TO DEATH. PLEASE ADVISE. I THOUGHT SEAT BELTS WERE MENT TO BE ADJUSTABLE.
