MY WIFE AND I PURCHASED A NEW HONDA ACCORD TO BE USED BY OUR 21-YEAR OLD SON WHO IS ATTENDING COLLEGE AT BRIGHAM YOUNG UNIVERSITY. ON SATURDAY, DEC. 15, 2001 HE ALONG WITH 3 OTHER COLLEGE STUDENTS WERE IN THE CAR ON THE FREEWAY. THEY WERE TRAVELING IN THE FAST LANE AT AROUND 70 MILES PER HOUR., ANOTHER CAR GOING THE SAME DIRECTION LOST CONTROL (REASON UNKNOWN), SPUN OUT ACROSS THE FREEWAY, HIT THE CENTER DIVIDER AND STOPPED DIRECTLY IN THE PATH OF OUR SON. NATURALLY HE HIT HIS BRAKES, BUT IT HAPPENED SO FAST THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO EXCEPT HIT THE OTHER CAR HEAD-ON AT ABOUT 60 MILES PER HOUR. ALL FOUR OF THE PARTIES IN OUR CAR WERE WEARING THEIR SEAT BELTS, WHICH PROBABLY SAVED THEIR LIVES. HOWEVER, THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. IT IS A MIRACLE THAT SOMEONE WASN'T SEVERLY INJURED. WHILE ALL OF THE PARTIES HAD SOME WHIP LASH, NO ONE HAD TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL. SOMEONE TOLD MY SON THAT BECAUSE HE HIT HIS BRAKES THE FRONT END OF OUR HONDA WAS LOWERED AND WENT UNDERNEATH THE BUMPER OF THE CAR THEY HIT, WHICH WAS A LARGER SUV AND THATS WHY THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. I THOUGHT AIRBAGS DEPLOYED ON IMPACT TO PROVIDE THE PROTECTION THEY ARE DESIGNED TO PROVIDE. THE POLICE REPORT INDICATED THAT THE DRIVER OF THE SUV WHO SPUN OUT WAS AT FAULT. WHILE WE ARE REALLY GLAD THAT OUR SON AND HIS FRIENDS WERE NOT SEVERLY INJURED I HAVE CONCERN FOR SOMEONE ELSE WHO MAY NOT BE AS LUCKY. I HOPE THIS INFORMATION IS HELPFUL. I DID CONTACT HONDA MOTOR CARS TO FILE A COMPLAINT. ABOUT ALL THEY DID WAS TAKE MY INFORMATION, SEND ME INFORMATION ON AIRBAGS AND TELL ME TO CONTACT MY INSURANCE COMPANY. SHOULD YOU LIKE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION PLEASE FEEL FREE TO GIVE US A CALL. THANKS FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE. *AK

THE FIRST INCIDENT HAPPENED AS I WAS PROCEEDING THROUGH A YIED SIGN, THE VEHICLE WHICH PRECEEDED ME HAD COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. WHEN I APPLIED MY BRAKES, THE CAR DID NOT STOP. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. THE ONLY THING STOPPING THE CAR WAS THE IMPACT WITH THE OTHER VEHICLE. BECAUSE EVERYTHING HAPPEN SO FAST, I ASSUMED THAT I DID NOT REACT QUICKLY ENOUGH. ON 1/24/03 WAS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED, THERE WERE TWO PASSENGERS IN THE CAR WITH ME WHO WITNESS THE BRAKE INCIDENT AGAIN. THIS TIME AS I TRIED TO VERE TO THE RIGHT TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT, THE STEERING COLUMN WAS LOCKED AND I WAS UNABLE TO STEER THE CAR. AGAIN THE ONLY THING THAT STOPPED THE CAR WAS THE IMPACT. IN BOTH SITUATIONS I WAS NOT TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED AND THERE WAS AMPLE TIME FOR THE CAR TO STOP HAD THE BRAKES WORKED. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALER, THEY SAID THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF ANYTHING LIKE THAT HAPPENING BEFORE. I INSISTED THEY CHECK THE VEHICLE OUT ANYWAY AND, OF COURSE, THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THIS IS A GREAT SAFETY ISSUE AND UNDER OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES THE RESULTS COULD HAVE BEEN MORE SERIOUS OR EVEN FATAL.

CONSUMER STATES HIS BRAKES DID NOT WORK, HE STATED THAT WHEN YOU HIT THE BRAKES YOU LOSE CONTROL OF THE AUTO. HE HIT HIS BRAKES, LOST CONTROL AND HIT A CONCRETE RETAINING WALL. HE ALSO STATES THAT HE WAS GOING ALL OVER THE ROAD, JUST BY HITTING HIS BRAKES. NO OTHER AUTO WAS INVOLVED. NLM CONSUMER INCURRED BRUISES AND PASSENGER FRACTURED KNEE CAP, DEALER NOTIFIED. *TT

CONSUMER WAS GOING APPROXIMATELY 60MPH WHEN BATTERY LIGHT FLASHED ON AND OFF. CONSUMER WAS ON A 3-LANE INTERSTATE IN MIDDLE LANE WHEN VHEICLE STALLED. CONSUMER MANAGED TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. CONSUMER GOT HELP TO CHARGE BATTERY, BUT SPARKS STARTED COMING FROM BATTERY AND WAS TOLD NOT TO DRIVE IT. HONDA DEALER NEVER HEARD OF PROBLEM, AND WILL BE LOOKING AT VEHICLE. VEHICLE WAS ABOUT 7 WEEEKS OLD NEW THEN, ALSO NOTE CD THAT WAS PLAYING WAS BURNING HOT WHEN IT WAS TAKEN OUT.*AK DEALER REPLACED ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY. DEALER ALSO ADJUSTED BELT. *SLC

TIRE BLEW OUT AND I PULLED OVER RIGHT AWAY TO CHANGE FLAT. DEALER REFUSED TO CONTACT MANUFACTURER TO INSPECT TIRE FOR DEFECTS. CAR WAS LITERALLY 4 DAYS OLD.*AK (TIRESIZE: 195/65R15)

WHILE DRIVING, REAR PASSENGER BRIDGESTONE TURANZA TIRE WENT FLAT, CONSUMER FEELS THIS OCCURRED DUE TO A TIRE DEFECT, DEALER DISAGREED AND STATED THAT THE CONSUMER HAD RIDDEN ON THE FLAT TIRE AND RUINED THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE TIRE, CONSUMER IS REQUESTING REIMBURSEMENT, TIRE SIZE IS P195/65R15. *SLC

THE IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM HAS SHUTDOWN THE VEHICLE 3 TIMES. THE FIRST TIME WAS IN SEPTEMBER APPROXIMATELY 1 WEEK AFTER PURCHASE. THE SECOND AND THIRD TIMES WERE ON OCTOBER 14. WHILE DRIVING NORTHBOUND ON 95 ON OCT. 14TH THE IMMOBILIZER LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ENGINE SHUTDOWN CREATING A VERY HAZARDOUS SITUATIION FOR ME AND OTHER DRIVERS. THE IMMOBILIZER ACTIVATED AGAIN, THIS TIME WHILE ON THE CAPITAL BELTWAY. ON THIS OCCASION I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BY AN 18 WHEELER. THE VERY FIRST TIME THE IMMOBILIZER ACTIVATED IT WAS APPROXIMATELY ONE WEEK AFTER PURCHASE. THE MECHANICS AT POHANKA ADVISED THEY COULD FIND NO PROBLEM BUT, THAT THEY HAVE SEEN THIS PROBLEM MANY TIMES BEFORE. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP AND THEY ARE RUNNING DIAGNOSTICS, BUT I ASSUME NOTHING WILL BE FOUND THIS TIME EITHER. I HAVE TALKED TO OTHER HONDA OWNERS AND SEVERAL OF THEM HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM. I BELIEVE SOMETHING IS DRASTICALLY WRONG WITH THE IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM AND IS CREATING A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. *AK

MY WIFE AND I EACH SEPARATELY ENCOUNTERED ISSUES WITH STEERING AND BRAKES POSSIBLY NOT WORKING AS INTENDED. FIRST OCCURRED IN OCTOBER I BELIEVE, ONLY COUPLE MONTHS INTO THE LEASE. I WAS ALMOST RUN OFF ON A HIGHWAY, AS I SWERVED TO GET OUT OF THE WAY..I LOST CONTROL AND SPUN OUT(DID 360) AND HIT THE RIGHT SHOULDER BARRIER. I DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING OF IT AT THE TIME. CHALKED IT UP TO BAD LUCK. THEN MAY OF THIS YEAR, MY WIFE ON HIGHWAY, BRAKED HARD TO AVOID HITTING TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF HER THAT HAD BRAKED HARD AS WELL. LOST CONTROL OF STEERING AND AGAIN, DID 360 SPIN AND CRASHED INTO CENTER DIVIDER. NOW I'M A LITTLE LEERY, 2 INCIDENTS IN LESS THAN 9 MONTH SPAN. BOTH TIMES IT SEEMS THAT WE SHOULD'VE NOT LOST CONTROL.*AK

2002 HONDA ACCORD DEVELOPED PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION, AND DASHBOARD LIGHT SENSORS.*MR THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED 3 TIMES. AFTER THE LAST VISIT TO THE DEALER THE IGNITION BEGAN TO MALFUNCTION, AFTER PUTTING THE GEAR INTO PARK SOMETIMES THE KEY WOULD LOCK IN, WHICH WOULD REQUIRE THE CONSUMER TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, SHIFT THE GEARS PLACE BACK INTO PARK AND THEN PULL THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. *JB

REFLECTION ON WINDSHIELD FROM DASH HAS BEEN TOO GREAT. ALSO, GLARE ALMOST CAUSED CONSUMER TO HIT A PERSON. CONTACTED DEALER, AND DEALER STATED NEVER HAD THAT TYPE OF COMPLAINT BEFORE. CONSUMER ATTACHED PHOTOS. *AK *TT

THE FUEL GAUGE MALFUNCTIONED, NEVER REGISTERED LESS THAN I/2 FULL. *JB...*AK

The back door handles has malfunction. They or unable to open from inside or out. This causes a health hazard to the passengers in the backseat if there was an emergency to get out the back doors because of an accident.

2002 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER EXPRESSES DISCONTENT WITH HONDA AND THEIR HANDLING OF A RECALL *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED HE RECEIVED A RECALL REGARDING THE AIR BAG SYSTEM. THE CONSUMER IMMEDIATELY MADE AN APPOINTMENT, BUT THE DEALER CALLED BACK TO CANCEL BECAUSE THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PART. THE CONSUMER THEN RE-SCHEDULED AND WHEN HE ARRIVED AT THE DEALERSHIP, HE WAS TOLD THE AIR BAG WOULD NEED TO BE LOOKED AT TO SEE IF IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD IT DID NEED TO BE REPLACED, BUT THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PART, DESPITE BEING TOLD THE PART HAD BEEN ORDERED *JB

BRAKE PEDAL AND GAS PEDAL ARE DESIGNED TO CLOSE TO EACH OTHER, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LURCH FORWARD WHEN APPLYING BRAKES, WHEN HITTING THE BRAKES, CONSUMER ALSO HITS THE GAS PEDAL AT THE SAME TIME. *AK *YH

CONSUMER STATES THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT GEARS PROPERLY, SO THE DEALER ADJUSTED THE SENSOR TEN THOUSAND MILES LATER THE PROBLEM REOCCURED. AFTER INSPECTION BY THE DEALER IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION.*JB

CONSUMER BELIEVES VEHICLE IS NOT NEW BECAUSE THE WINDOW GLASSES ARE ETCHED. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE SLUGGISH UPON USE AND LEFT WIPER WAS VERY NOISY WHICH LEFT STREAKS ON THE WINDSHIELD. *TT

IN A FRONTAL COLLISION ONLY DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG DIDN'T DEPLOY ON IMPACT.*AK

WHILE DRIVING WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED THEY DIDN'T HOLD, RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT.*AK

THIS IS NOT SO MUCH A FAILURE AS A QUESTION/SUGGESTION ABOUT WHAT REGULATIONS ARE IN PLACE FOR US STANDARDS OF REAR TAILLIGHT ASSEMBLIES. A LOT OF MANUFACTURES HAVE GONE TO USING RED TURN SIGNALS THAT ALSO SERVE AS BRAKE LIGHTS. THE PROBLEM I HAVE, AND I'M SURE THIS HAS CAUSED ACCIDENTS, IS THAT WHEN SOMEONE IS INDICATING A TURN 90% OF THE TIME THEY MUST BRAKE TO DO SO. BUT THE ACT OF BRAKING OBSCURES THE TURN INDICATOR. WHEN ONE TURNS THEY DROP A LOT MORE SPEED THEN SOMEONE BRAKING WITH TRAFFIC. THE UNIFORMLY RED TURN/BRAKE LIGHT ASSEMBLIES CAN CAUSE CONFUSION AMONG DRIVERS BEHIND THE TURNING VEHICLE AND LEAD TO MISINTERPRETATION OF THE DRIVERS INTENTION AND LEAD TO ACCIDENTS. HAS ANY STUDY BEEN DONE INVOLVING REAR-END ACCIDENTS INVOLVING TURNING VEHICLES? THERE IS PROBABLY A HIGHER % INVOLVING VEHICLES WITH RED REAR-TURN SIGNALS. IM HOPING THAT THE NHTSA WILL PERFORM A STUDY REGARDING RED TURN SIGNALS AND PROPOSE NEW REGULATIONS THAT REQUIRE AUTOMAKERS TO USE YELLOW LENSES FOR ALL REAR-TURN SIGNALS. ANOTHER ISSUE WITH THEM IS WHEN THE VEHICLES HAZARD LIGHTS ARE ON. HAVING BLINKING YELLOW LIGHTS WILL ALERT DRIVERS MUCH QUICKER TO THE PRESENCE OF A DISABLED VEHICLE THAN BLINKING RED LIGHTS. THE RED LIGHTS WILL BLEND IN WITH ANY OTHER VEHICLE BRAKING TO SLOW DUE TO THE HAZARD. THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ MY QUESTION, IF THIS IS NOT THE RIGHT DEPARTMENT FOR SUCH A COMPLIANT/SUGGESTION, CAN YOU PLEASE FORWARD IT TO THE APPROPRIATE PERSONAL. COULD YOU ALSO NOTIFY ME OF THE PROPER DEPARTMENT AND ITS CONTACT INFORMATION FOR MAKING SUCH SUGGESTIONS? THANKS. *AK
