1 Sun Roof problem

Failure Date: 09/18/2002

Mfr# 02-031 & NHTSA# 02 v 120 000/ignition switch: the dealer wants to charge consumer for reconnection of the sun roof wires after recall repairs. The consumer states that the dealer wants to charge for labor to reconnect wires for the sunroof after he made the repair for the recalled ignition switch.

2 Sun Roof problem

Failure Date: 08/09/2000

There appears to be a defect in the temperlite glass on four of the windows described. It is inside the two panes of glass with no apparant cracks in glass or molding. The inside of the glass, or the adhesive material used in between the glass is bubbling which causes poor vision. The vehicle is currently inoperable because of fear of poor visibility. I have notified Honda and am providing them with a letter of liability and informing them that I will be contacting several consumer safety administrations and commissions since they refuse to correct the problem under my extended warranty purchased for the vehicle. This is a severe problem which seems to be possibly caused by some type of contamination or vapors present when the glass was constructed, stored, or installed in the vehicle.
