Honda refuses to replace recalled airbags. I've been trying for a year and even when they "order" the part they don't have it when I arrive. This has happened repeatedly. I was in a car accident today and the airbags didn't deploy and they should have. After reading all the online complaints I feel lucky they didn't deploy and extract flying metal pieces. Its inexcusable to have a recall and then refuse to fix the problem. Honda's negligence could have cost me my life today. * (RECALL RELATED INCIDENT) TS

MY CAR KEPT JERKING IT ALSO HAD STOP WHILE MY FEET WAS ON THE METAL WHILE ON EXIT 41 MY CAR SPIN AROUND AND ALMOST COLLIDED WITH ANOTHER CAR AFTER THE ACCIDENT

THE AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSATE DRAINS ONTO THE SUBFRAME ASSEMBLY SUPPORTING THE ENGINE. THERE IS A RUST HOLE IN THE TOP OF THE FRAME AT THIS LOCATION, FIRST REPORTED BY THE DEALER TECH AND NOTED AS 'COMMON'. MY MECHANIC AND I WATCHED IT GROW FOR A COUPLE YEARS TO THE POINT NOW WHERE HE SAYS IT'S BECOMING RISKY TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE LIKELIHOOD OF CATASTROPHIC FAILURE.

THE VEHICLE FAIL STATE INSPECTION BECAUSE THE SUB-FRAME ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HAD COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN AND DOCUMENTED PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL YEAR. WHAT HAS BEEN THE MANUFACTURERS RESPONSE, HAVE THEY ISSUED A RECALL? THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.

I'M IN THE RIGHT LANE ON EXIT 41 HIGHWAY MY CAR KEPT JERKING THEN SOMEONE JUMPED IN FRONT OF ME AS SOON AS I HIT THE BREAKS THE BREAKS SENT OUT AND HIT THE LADY WHO JUMPED IN FRONT OF ME AND THEN THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE WHEEL BEFORE THEN MY CAR WAS LEAKING .*DT*JB

I WAS IN A BAD ACCIDENT I WAS IN THE FAR RIGHT LANE ON THE HIGHWAY I'M GOING 55MPH SOMEONE JUMPED IN FRONT OF ME I USED MY BREAKS THEN MY CAR JERKED RIGHT INTO THE OTHER PERSON CAR CAUSING MY CAR TO SPIN AROUND 2 TIME ON A 6 LANE HIGHWAY . THE AIRBAG NEVER DEPLOYED THE STARING WHEEL WAS NOT TURNING LOTS OF FLUIDS LEAKING OUT OF IT BUT IT WAS ALWAYS JERKING FOR SOME REASON EVEN WHEN THE MECHANIC SAYS THAT'S NATURAL..

MY IGNITION TURNS OFF WHILE IM DRIVING.

THE CAR LOSES POWER WHILE DRIVING AND OPERATING THE CAR. THE IGNITION COMPLETELY SHUTS THE CAR OFF. THE CAR CAN RESTART, BUT THE IGNITION CONTINUES TO SHUT OFF REPEATEDLY

THE AC DRIP TUBE IS AIMED RIGHT AT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE SUBFRAME AND RUSTS IT OUT OVER TIME. JUST RECENTLY I HAD THE SUBFRAME TOTALLY FAIL AND SNAP IN HALF DUE TO THIS RUST. THE SCARY PART WAS THAT I HAD JUST GOTTEN OFF THE HIGHWAY AND WAS ONLY GOING 5 MPH WHEN IT HAPPENED. IF IT HAD HAPPENED FIVE MINUTES SOONER THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A MUCH WORSE SITUATION. NOTICE IN THE PICTURE I ATTACH THAT THE WHOLE CORNER OF THE SUBFRAME IS RUSTED OUT EVEN THOUGH THE REST OF THE FRAME AND BODY IS RUST FREE. THIS HAPPENED WHILE MAKING A TURN IN A FLAT PARKING LOT AT ABOUT 5 MPH. THIS IS A WELL-DOCUMENTED ISSUE ON ALL 97-02 HONDA ACCORD AND 00-03 ACURA CL VEHICLES SINCE THEY ARE THE SAME BODY/PLATFORM. I WENT TO A JUNKYARD RECENTLY TO SEE IF I COULD FIND A GOOD SUBFRAME TO REPLACE MINE WITH AND EVERY SINGLE HONDA ACCORD AND ACURA CL IN THE LOT WAS RUSTED OUT EXACTLY THE SAME WAY. THIS CLEARLY IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE THE SUBFRAME HAS THREE OF THE FOUR ENGINE MOUNTS ON IT AND THE SUSPENSION IS ALL CONNECTED TO IT AS WELL.

THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED DUE TO THE DIAGNOSTIC AND REPAIR FEES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 160,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1998 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STARTED UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE TURNED OFF WITHOUT WARNING.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 149,212.

TAKATA RECALL? I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE FROM MY CO WORKER WHICH STATED THESE ISSUES WERE ALREADY HAPPENING FOR MONTHS, FIRSTLY THE CLUSTER CLUSTERS INSTRUMENT GAGES DO NOT WORK (REPLACED THEM AND NOTHING HAPPENS) , ONLY THE GAGE LIGHTS TURN ON. THESE INCLUDE THE GAS GAGE, RPM, SPEEDOMETER, TEMP. WHICH IS ANOTHER ISSUE, THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES EVEN THOUGH YOU TRY TO BRIGHTEN THE LIGHTS WITH THE DIM KNOB THEY ARE HARDLY BRIGHTENED ITS HARD TO SEE THE CLOCK TIME OR ANY THING THAT LIGHTS UP TO HELP SEE AT NIGHT, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS DONT WORK, THE HORN DOESNT WORK, CRUISE CONTROL DOESNT WORK. AS IF ALL THESE ARE TIED TOGETHER THRU THE ELECTRICAL WIRING. (CHECKED ALL FUSES AND REPLACED MOST) MY WIND SHIELD LEAKS IN THE TOP CORNERS, THE TRUNK FILLS WITH WATER EVERYONE IT RAINS DUE TO A LEAK. DEFECTS IN THE SEALING MY REAR VIEW MIRROR FELL OFF ON MY WAY TO WORK TODAY AS WELL WHICH CAUSED THE WINDSHIELD TO CRACK AROUND WHERE THE MIRROR WAS. THE HOOD LATCH IS HARD TO CLOSE, I HAVE TO USE PLIERS TO PUSH DOWN THE LATCH BEFORE SHUTTING HOOD, (THIS IS ANOTHER PART I REPLACED WITH THE SAME FACTORY PART NUMBER) IT LOOKS TO BE THE SPRING. BALL JOINTS I AM GUESSING... WHEN BARELY TURNING THE WHEEL EITHER WAY YOU HEAR A GRINDING NOISE LIKE METAL AGAINST METAL. ITS A SCARY SOUND WHEN MAKING TURNS NOT SURE IF THE WHEEL IS YOU G TO BREAK OFF WHILE MAKING THE TURN A COSTLY ISSUE DAILY I HAVE TO ADD OIL TO THE VEHICLE THE OIL PUMP GASKET SEAL LEAKS EVERY TIME THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. EXTERIOR ISSUE THE PAINT LOOKS HORRIBLE DUE TO THE TOP CLEAR COAT PEELING. NOW AFTER RESEARCHING, I REALIZE I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS THESE ISSUES. PLEASE GET THESE ISSUES FIXED

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 1998 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT UPON MAKING A LEFT TURN AT 40 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE VEHICLE HEAD ON AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH. THE AIR BAGS DID DEPLOY UPON IMPACT BUT FAILED TO INFLATE AS NEEDED. DUE TO THE AIR BAG FAILURE, THE CONTACT WAS AIRLIFTED TO THE HOSPITAL WHERE SHE WAS TREATED FOR A BROKEN RIGHT RIB, A FRACTURED LEFT FIBULA, AND OTHER SEVERE INJURIES TO HER LEFT LEG AND ARM THAT REQUIRED SURGERY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AFTER BEING DEEMED TOTALED AT THE SCENE. LATER ON, THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V026000 (AIR BAGS) WHICH SHE THEN LINKED TO HER FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE MATTER AND WAS INFORMED THAT A REPRESENTATIVE WOULD CALL HER BACK; THE CONTACT HAD YET TO HEAR FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 170,000.*DT*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1998 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE UPPER CONTROL ARM SQUEAKED AND WAS ABOUT TO DETACH WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SUBFRAME WAS RUSTED OUT AND THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE TECHNICIAN RECOMMENDED THAT THE ENTIRE SUBFRAME BE REPLACED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE FAILURE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 84,800.

THE PASSENGER FRONT DOESN'T LOCK AND CAN BE PULLED OUT BY HAND AFTER IN BUCKLE. BOTH REAR SEAT BELTS DOESN'T HAVE ANY BUCKLE'S TO ATTACH TO. THE STEERING WHEEL AIR BAG COULD BE COMPROMISED.

TAKATA RECALL IGNITION SWITCH FAILURE CAR WON'T STAY ON UNLESS KEY IS HOLD FORWARD

MY HONDA WAS SOLD TO ME WITH NO REAR SEAT BELTS, AND THE HORN WHEN HOOKED UP DEFAULTS THE BRAKE LIGHTS.

THE FRONT SEAT BELTS DON'T LOCK INTO BUCKLE. THE REAR SEAT BELTS HAVE NO BUCKLE'S. DRIVER STEERING WHEEL AIR BAG IS COMPROMISED.

ENGINE CUTS OUT WHILE DRIVING....PULLED OVER BUT ENGINE STILL RUNNING AND A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE. ...CONTINUED DRIVING HOME.

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ON A MULTI LAND ROAD IN TRAFFIC THE ENGINE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. AFTER PULLING OVER I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART ENGINE. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPT OF TURNING THE KEY ALL INDICATOR LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AND I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE ON.

I PAID $1300 TO REPLACE A TIMING BELT AND A LEAKING WATER PUMP. THE MECHANIC TEST DROVE IT WHEN THE REPAIRS WERE FINISHED, ONLY TO DISCOVER A LOUD SQUEAKING WHICH REVEALED A RUSTED RIGHT FRONT SUBFRAME THAT I HAVE FOUND, AFTER SOME ONLINE RESEARCH IS FAIRLY COMMON AND DUE TO THE PLACEMENT OF A DRAIN TUBE THAT LEAKED WATER OVER THIS SPOT ON THE SUBFRAME FOR 20 YEARS.

TRANSMISSION IS FAILING. IT IS SLIPPING BETWEEN SHIFTS, WHICH LEADS TO SPIKED RPMS BECAUSE OF THE DELAYED SHIFT. THE SHIFT IS ALSO VERY HARSH, WHERE IT JERKS, SHAKES, AND RUMBLES THE CAR. GEARS ALSO GRIND OCCASIONALLY BETWEEN STOP AND FIRST GEAR.

PASSENGER SIDE SUBFRAME HAS RUSTED JUST BEHIND WHERE THE LOWER CONTROL ARM CONNECTS. THIS RUST IS NOT VISIBLE WHEN VIEWING FROM THE UNDERSIDE OF THE VEHICLE WHEN ON A LIFT, MAKING FAILURE OF THE SUBFRAME IMMINENT. HONDA SHOULD ADMIT A DESIGN FLAW EXISTS WITH THE AC DISCHARGE AND REPLACE THESE BAD FRAMES. WHAT A DISGRACE. SAD TO SAY I WILL BE SWITCHING BRANDS. I PREFER COMPANIES WHO STEP UP TO THE PLATE TO PROTECT THEIR CUSTOMERS. THIS FAILURE IS VERY HARD TO DETECT UNTIL IT'S TOO LATE. SHAME ON HONDA. I ALREADY HAD MY BALL JOINTS FAIL (RECALL EXISTS FOR THEM) AND I ONLY HOPE MY SUBFRAME HOLDS OUT A LITTLE LONGER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1998 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO STALL MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 168,000. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE.

"TAKATA RECALL I TOOK MY CAR FOR INSPECTION AND IT SAYS SAFETY/EMISSIONS RECALL. I WANTED TO GET IT FIXED BUT THEY TOLD ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE IT TO A HONDA DEALER.
