The passenger side front seat belt buckle comes undone on its own. this has occurred with multiple passengers (~5) over the last several years (2003-2010). the reported date on this incident IS the date of last occurrence. the first few times it happened, no records were kept because it wasn't obvious that the issue was a one-off incident due to incorrectly inserting the buckle. each time, the belt buckle made an affirmative clicking sound when inserted, but gets undone own its own while driving. when it comes undone, a faint clicking sound can be heard, followed by the latch withdrawing slowly. the problem cannot be reproduced by latching and unlatching the buckle, and acura does refuses to replace the buckle. *Tr

I own a 2000 acura integra (bought brand new from a dearlership in nj) towards the end of 2000. I feel quite strongly that many acura models have defects with their "srs lights" coming on unexpectedly on automobiles. last year, the srs light came on and I was told I needed a clock spring which was replaced. this year, the srs light came back on and I was told that I needed a new passenger side airbag. this was totally a shock to me since I thought that airbags are usually replaced when they are damaged in an auto accident or after they are deployed. I had the airbag replaced and it cost over a thousand dollars to do so. I had contacted my insurance agent and was informed that he had never heard of an airbag being replaced out of the clear blue sky. after the airbag was replaced, I requested from the dealership that I would like to take the airbag that was removed from my car to have it inspected independently and was told that I could not take it since they have to dispose of it themselves for safety reasons. I noticed in doing some of my own research that srs lights coming on quite a bit in acura's and it IS definitely a complaint from many customers and this info can be found by doing a google search. I also noticed that there was a recall (02v196) on the 2001 acura integra model with description "passenger airbag modules were to properly welded and may not deploy in a collision". I tried contacting acura directly via letter and phone and to no avail. they are uncooperative. I would like an investigation on this matter since its mind-boggling to accept the fact that an airbag needed to be replaced out of the blue and considering the numerous complaints by car owners of acura models, its not difficult to believe that this could very well be a manufacturing defect. perhaps a component rather than a whole bag needed replacement. please assist me with this matter since you are my only hope to solve this unfortunate matter. *tr

The front passenger side seat belt makes a clicking sound and feels latched in appropriately. however, on multiple occasions (approximately 20 to 30), it has come undone. I took it to the dealership and they tried to attach the seatbelt and see if it would come loose. however, they could not reproduce the problem so nothing was done. this has happened to 4 different people in the passenger seat wearing that seatbelt, all of whom have had various honda or acura cars for years and have not previously encountered this apparent problem with the latch.*ak

I am told that a bolt came lose inside the transmission and I was very lucky it not happened when I was on the freeway. there was no warning the car worked fine and then it didn't. it IS still in the shop. they have to replace the transmission. and since I have such high milage it IS no longer under warrenty. I have been without transportation for over 2 weeks and it will be another week before I can pick my car up. I know from reading your web sight that my model acura IS not the one thats suppose to have the transmission problem.. However, a bolt IS IS not suppose to just fall out and destroy a transmission in a auto 3 years old.

I purchased my 2000 acura integra new in jan 2000. approx 2 weeks ago, with no warning, it stopped changing gears. I've been told that I'm lucky I was not on the freeway. I had it towed to an auto repair shop last friday. 2 days ago they called to inform me a bolt had come off inside the transmission and it would have to be replaced. the transmission not the bolt!!! it would cost $2550.00 and would not be ready until next week. I informed them I wanted a detailed report on exactly what had happened and all damaged parts. I have high mileage on my auto (82,000) and it IS no longer under warranty. I don't think it IS reasonable for a bolt to fall off and destroy a relatively new transmission. this IS my 2ND integra ... I purchased my 1ST new integra in 1992 and had it 9 years with 186,000 mi before I sold it. the biggest problem I had the entire time I owned it was replacing the radiator. this IS the reason I purchased the 2ND one. there must be something I can do about this!!! any suggestions you might have will be greatly appreciated. *nlm

Three michelin tires, size: p195/55r15, dot: unknown experienced problems which dealership attributed to road hazard conditions. 1) while traveling 20 mph, righ/rear tire lost air pressure after traveling over a storm grade; 2) while traveling in traffic a metal pole fell off of a truck and caused a blowout in right/ front tire, and 3) after traveling 65 mph in a rut on a highway, a bubble formed in sidewall of tire.

Two small horn buttons are located in the periphery of the steering wheel in the 3:00 and 9:00 positions rather than in the center as with other vehicles I have owned. as I was proceeding past a mini-bus that stopped in the left hand land in the right hand lane, the bus changed lanes abruptly into the right hand lane. I braked hard, turned to the right, and tried to sound the horn. when the wheel was turned from straight ahead it was impossible to locate the horn buttons without looking away from the road. I suggest that the manufacturer be directed to provide a standard center location for the horn button such that it can be found without looking. in the second occurence I tried to fasten a child car seat into the read seat. while adjusting the seat belt buckle the seat belt folded over inside the slot of the male buckle, jamming. it took over 10 minutes of working at the belt to free it. I am concerned that someone might be frustrated by this and not use the seat belt if it occurred. two remedies could be provided. one would be to make the opening in the buckle for the belt smaller, or use a thicker belt, such that it IS impossible for the belt to fold over. the other option would be to make the buckle slot opening wider such that the belt if it folded over could be more easily released. *ak
