There are 2 recalls on my year, make & model that i am experiencing. However, honda claims my vin is not included in the recall. I find it very odd that i could be experiencing both of the recalls, but my car is excluded. I also have seen several complaints all over the internet about the clearcoat on '98-'02 honda's peeling. Honda is not accepting responsibility for the defective clearcoat. *tr

I had left the car in a parking structure. Apparently i had left the gear in reverse rather than in park. After leaving the car with my ignition key in hand the car began to roll, and subsequently crashed into another car which was parked. The damage was minimal, but costly to repair anyhow. There was a woman with a baby in a carriage which was narrowly missed by the moving vehicle. I have since learned that i…
