| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I reported the front floor mats problems with motorcars on 12/28/99 and was told by the service tech that the mats were not orignal honda mats. i wrote to troy ohio, customer relations concerning the vehicles front floor mats and informed them that they were the one that came with the lease vehicle when i entered into the lease agreement on 10/09/99. why would a vehicle be "certified" and leased as safe when the drivers' mat slides under the accelarator and can cause the driver not to be able to accelarate and break properly? the numbers on the floor mats are 4647-228 18816 gb-2 97/98 and the carpet mats are the same color and grade of carpet as the interior carpet in the vehicle. honda's service department said that i would have to order mats. if the mats are not honda originals, why didn't the dealer who "certified" the vehicle install a positive floor mat retention system consisting of a grommet in the floor mat and a pin bracket in the auto for safety? my last comments are questions: in checking the vin number has this vehicle been serviced for the 3 recall alerts? nhtsa campaign number 991002000 - fuel:throttle linkages and control. nhtsa campaign number 99e015000 equip/other pieces and nhtsa campaign number 97v193000 interior systems/passive restraint/air bag passenger? i was in possession of this vehicle 03/26/00 and have not received a recall alert on fuel/throttle linkages and control. *ak |
