| While driving the front tires (bridgestone 205/70 r15 95s all season tires traction rating b) loose traction on damp pavement and spin upon gradual acceleration from a stop with two or three attempts needed to move forward, the traction problem may be a combination of traction b tires and the high engine/transmission torque. nlm | |||

| I have multiple issues with vehicle: 1) engine stalls while driving, which interrupts power steering. this occurs generally within the first mile of driving, now daily. initially, problem occurred at random, once or twice per month. regular service checks revealed no problem. the car runs without problems all day once the initial stalling of the engine has occurred. consumer information has found this to be an ignition switch problem, but honda-authorized service dealer refused to acknowledge any recall or problem on this model on 1/17/2004. instead, honda claims that a scheduled valve adjustment would correct the problem. engine stalling and interruption of power steering is a serious safety problem while driving, and the occurrence is not predictable - how can i be satisfied with a valve adjustment and take the car back on the road? 2) advanced tire wear. the vehicle only has 33,000 and i had to replace tires. firestone / bridgestone dealer mentioned that the wear is premature and sold me a new set of tires for a fair price. honda authorized dealer mentioned that it is driver/owner responsibility to maintain vehicle tire pressure and rotate tires according to scheduled maintenance. i have rotated and keep correct pressure in tires at all times. 3) while making a sharp turn (more noticeable while making a u-turn) primarily from the rear of the vehicle, a loud howling noise can be heard. the same firestone / bridgestone dealer noticed the same sounds and referred me to the honda dealer. honda authorized dealer mentioned that a lube service is necessary to take that howling noise away from my vehicle. firestone / bridgestone believe more than a lube job is needed. 4) rear glass trunk lid leaks during car washes and strong windy rain. *jb | |||
