2000 Honda S2000

THERE IS A DEFECT IN ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WHICH IS CAUSING VEHICLE TO FAIL TO START/ WINDSHIELD WIPER FAILURE, AND HEADLIGHTS FLASHING ON AND OFF. THESE EVENTS OCCUR ON RANDOM BASIS OR WHEN CONSUMER TRAVELS OVER A BUMP. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION/ATTACHMENTS. *AK CONSUMER STATES TURN SIGNALS DOES NOT ALWAYS WORK, ALSO HEADLIGHTS DO NOT JUST FLASH ON/OFF THEY ALSO SOMETIMES JUST STAY OFF, CONSUMER STATES HE REQUESTED THAT THE SECURITY DEVICE THAT IS INSTALLED IN VEHICLE NOT BE INSTALLED IN HIS, CONSUMER STATES ONE MORNING WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START HE LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD AND SAW TWO WIRES THAT HAD BEEN CRIMPED TOGETHER, SO CONSUMER BELIEVES THAT THE DEALERSHIP INADVERTENLY INSTALLED THE SECURITY DEVICE. *JB

IN FEB. CONSUMER RECIEVED RECALL NOTICE 00V-016 WHICH STATES; WHEN THE CONVERTIBLE TOP IS DOWN AND THE SEAT IS PUSHED ALL THE WAY BACK THE SEAT BELT MAY NOT RETRACT PROPERLY RESULTING IN SLACK IN THE BELTS, THE LETTER STATED THAT A SECOND NOTICE WOULD BE SENT WHEN THE INPROVEMENT PART WAS AVAILABLE BUT CONSUMER NEVER RECIEVED A SECOND NOTICE.

THE PLASTIC REAR WINDOW ON THE CONVERTIBLE TOP WRINKLES AND CREASES WHEN THE TOP IS LOWERED. THIS CAUSES A SAFETY HAZARD IN THAT CAR HEADLIGHTS ARE DISTORTED DURING NIGHTTIME DRIVING. THE DISTORTION CAUSES THE HEADLIGTHS TO SHOW AN UNKNOWN NUMBER OF VEHICLES IN BACK OF YOU. IT COULD BE ONLY ONE, BUT APPEARS TO BE MANY DUE TO THE DISTORTION THROUGH THE WRINKLES IN THE PLASTIC REAR VIEW WINDOW. I WAS ALMOST HIT BECAUSE IT APPEARED THAT ONE CAR WAS BEHIND ME, WHEN IN FACT THERE WERE MANY-ANS AS I PULLED OUT, I WAS ALMOST SIDESWIPED. THERE WAS NO WAY TO ASCERTAIN THE NUMBER OF CARS BEHIND ME DUE TO THE DISTORTION. DURING DAYLIGHT, IT IS A DISTRACTION BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS DISTORTED. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE LADY (JOYCE FARR) FROM HONDA TOLD ME TO PUT 170 DEGREE F WATER ON THE PLASTIC WINDOW TO GET THE WRINKLES/CREASES OUT. (?!) I DO NOT USUALLY CARRY HOT WATER AROUND WITH ME. ANOTHER "FIX" IS TO BUY A "TUBE" AND ROLL THE WINDOW HALFWAY DOWN, THEN GET OUT OF THE CAR, PLACE THE TUBE ON THE WINDOW, GET BACK IN THE CAR, AND FINISH LOWERING THE TOP. REVERSE THIS PROCEDURE TO PUT THE TOP UP. FIRST OF ALL, THERE'S NO PLACE TO CARRY A TUBE IN THIS 2-SEATER SPORT CAR, AND SECOND, IF YOU PUT THE TOP UP AND FORGET TO REMOVE THE TUBE (LIKE WHEN IT'S RAINING AND YOU PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO PUT THE TOP UP), THE TUBE WILL GET THROWN IN THE ROAD TO CREATE A TRAFFIC HAZARD. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A SAFTEY HAZARD, AND AM REPORTING IT AS SUCH. *AK

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHER THAN PRESCRIBED HIGHWAY SPEED ANOTHER CAR CUT IN FRONT. HONDA EITHER SWERVED TO MISS THE CAR, OR THE OTHER VEHICLE LEFT THE ROAD, AND THEN CAME BACK AND HIT THE HONDA. HONDA WAS AIRBOURNE AND HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE TRAVELING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. UPON IMPACT, NEITHER AIRBAG DEPLOYED. CONSUMER WAS SEVERELY INJURED WITH CONTRITION TO THE LEFT LUNGS/ RUPTURED SPLEEN, AND BROKE TOP COLLAR BONE AND TWO RIBS. *AK
