problem #2

Accord

The SRS light stays on. Not sure if airbags will work in a collision. Dealer will try to fix with new SRS control modules. Speedometer head unit is up to 13% off (depending on speed) and is somewhat unresponsive to minor speed changes. Disconcerting while driving in traffic since I can't verify my actual speed due to the slow to respond and inaccurate speedometer unit readout. This leads to overaccelerating or overdeccelerating while driving in traffic in an attempt to hold local speed zone laws. Verified by a pgm test at local dealer. No fix for the speedometer head unit for now...told by Honda customer relations to wait for a possible fix in November 2000. The driver's power seat makes a clunking noise while driving, not sure why. Finally, while driving in traffic many times when I press the accelerator pedal the car does not respond very quickly or even falls flat for a second before it goes, pretty disconcerting at times, especially at intersections.

Speedometer is not accurate. It appears to be from 7 to 10 mph off from surrounding traffic. Dealer claims it is within the 10% allowable difference. This is unacceptable. They tell us when it reads 65 we are actualling going 60. They have not provided any documentation to support the inaccuracy.
