While i waa driving to work smoke came out of my steering column and my low beams stopped working. I believe the light switch is faulty as was the case with the recall on 2000-2001 honda insights.
| No | No | N | None | None | 20120625 |
Control arm cracked and split while pulling out of a gas station. This vehicle does not have an upper and lower control arm, only lower (made of aluminum for weight reduction). If this happened on the highway, i would likely have veered off the road and be seriously injured, or even worse, dead. This should never have happened. *js
