For more than 8 months my acura legend (1994) four door sedan has been inaudible or not working. The srs light has been on for about 8 months i've been advised that the coil reel is out and that it is now in a condition that will prevent the horn from sounding when needed or at all. I've also been told that the drivers airbag and possibly the passenger air bag will not employ should an accident occur. This is not safe and i'm very surprised that the cost of a coil reel costs $687 from the honda dealer in pensacola, florida. My attempts to fix this on my own were hindered by cost and labor to repair this item. For now it is parked and not being used by this owner because the safety features that prompted this purchase are no longer effective. This item should be considered for recall. *nm

Electric door locks operated to the locked position on their own. No deliberate or inadvertent lock selection by driver. First occasion: at fuel pump, ignition off,car in park,closed drivers door to keep out fuel fumes and a strong,cold wind. All four doors locked when drivers door closed. Second occasion: stopped on rural estate driveway to detach a class ii trailer (empty-estimate tongue wgt, at 10-15lb.) car was in park, emerg. Brake on drivers door open. When the weight came off the hitch ball and a gust of wind hit, drivers door closed, all four doors locked. On this occasion, another 1994 acura legend owner was present and stated he had experienced the same problem. Third occasion: stopped at rural mail box, car in park, emerg. Brake set. Three year old in strapped in car seat, (rear seat) bent over to pick up dropped letter, drivers door closed, all four doors locked upon door closure. # yr. Old was able to unstrap and was coached to open door. This is clearly a safety item. This car is not designed to lock all four doors on a single door closure. It never did this four the first four years we leased and then owned the car. Imagine what could have happened to a two year old or infant inside the car in these circumstances, in either hot or cold conditions. This could happen at an atm, at night in a rural area, or as in the second case, 35 miles from the nearest locksmith. In naval aviation, we used to call this a singe point failure, one relay or solenoid goes bad and you are in extremis. Note that the second occasion involved another navy pilot,(retired) with a 94 acura legend that had the same experience- what are the odds on that happening and we being the only two victims? Clearly, if there were only these two acuras that had the problem, it is highly unlikely they would belong to two friend helping another friend move into a new home on the same day in king george county. Acura says there is no recall on the vehicle for the condition.
