FRONT PASSENGER INNER DOOR HANDLE IS CHROME PLATED. CHROME PLATING HAS BEGUN TO PEEL OFF AND HAS CREATED SHARP EDGES WITH THE ONLY REMEDY BEING REPLACEMENT OF THE PART. SHARP EDGES HAVE GIVEN "PAPER" CUTS, DRAWING BLOOD, TO A PASSENGER OPENING THE VEHICLE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE. VEHICLE IS 2 YEARS OLD, BUT OVER MILEAGE FOR WARRANTY COVERAGE. DUE TO SAFETY ISSUE, WE BELIEVE HONDA SHOULD PAY FOR REPAIR AS THIS ALSO IS NOT A "WEAR ITEM". APPEALS TO HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE HAVE GONE UNANSWERED AND HONDA CARE EXTENDED WARRANTY REFUSES TO COVER. *JB

MY FIANCE HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN TWO REAR-END COLLISIONS, BOTH IN HONDA CIVICS, OVER THE LAST YEAR (THE LAST ACCIDENT HAPPENED ON 11/12/04), AND IN BOTH CASES, THE DRIVER'S SEAT BACK BROKE SO THAT SHE WAS THROWN BACK AT A GREATER ANGLE THAN ONE WOULD HAVE EXPECTED. THE FIRST ACCIDENT REQUIRED HER TO HAVE A PAINFUL BACK OPERATION, WITH VARIOUS VERTEBRATES BEING FUSED. THIS CANNOT BE A COINCIDENT THAT HER SEAT BACK BROKE ON BOTH OCCASIONS.*AK
