1995 HONDA JUST PURCHASED USED. AFTER PURCHASE, NOTICED BROKEN WELDS ON BODY (BOTH SIDES OF VEHICLE) WHERE DOORS ATTACH TO VEHICLE BODY. WENT TO HONDA SERVICE, BUT SERVICE TECH HAD NO ANSWER, WAS NO ASSISTANCE. ALSO ASKED ABOUT 5/1999 TECH BULLETIN FROM AMER. HONDA TO INSTALL AIRBAG SWITCH (CHILD RIDES IN FRONT OF CAR) - SERVICE TECH SAID NOT AWARE OF BULLETIN, DID NOT OFFER ASSISTANCE. ASKED SERVICE TECH WHY OIL DIPSTICK PREMATURELY RUSTING-OFF, ON TOP (EVERY DEL-SOL I'VE SEEN HAS THIS PROBLEM... RUST COULD EVENTUALLY GO INTO ENGINE CRANKCASE) BUT SERVICE TECH HAD NO EXPLANATION, DID NOT OFFER ASSISTANCE. THE FIRST 2 PROBLEMS COULD LEAD TO PERSONAL INJURY, AND THE 3RD PROBLEM COULD LEAD TO ENGINE FAILURE.*AK

SOUGHT VEHICLE HISTORY TO SEE IF AIRBAG SWITCH INSTALLED - COULD NOT GET PREV. OWNERS CONTACT INFO, AND COULD NOT LOCATE ON/OFF SWITCH FOR AIRBAG.
