TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE CONTACT CALLED HONDA CITY CHICAGO (4950 S PULASKI RD, CHICAGO, IL, (773) 582-5000) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V220000 (AIR BAGS) TWICE; THEREFORE, THEY WOULD NOT REPAIR THE VEHICLE AGAIN.

MY CAR HAS AN OPEN RECALL FOR AIRBAGS. I WENT TO LOCAL HONDA DEALER AND THEY REFUSED TO FIX BECAUSE MY PASSENGER AIRBAG HAS DEPLOYED. I'M NOT SURE WHETHER THAT'S REASON THAT THEY WILL NOT FIX THIS AIRBAG FOR THE RECALL? THANKS.

WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYS ON.

TRANSMISSION WAS BAD AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. NEW TRANSMISSION WAS BAD ALSO. WASTED MONEY FOR THE SAME THING MULTIPLE TIMES AND HONDA WILL NOT HELP. THIS YEAR MAKE AND MODEL IS ONLY COMPATIBLE WITH THE SAME EXACT MAKE MODEL AND YEAR. IT IS HARD TO FIND A TRANSMISSION, AND AFTER SEEING THE RECALL AND IT MATCHING BOTH TRANSMISSIONS I DON'T SEE WHY WE SHOULD HAVE TO KEEP SPENDING MONEY ON FAULTY PARTS. ALL THE TRANSMISSIONS FOR THIS VEHICLE HAD RECALLS AND WERE FAULTY. WE WANT HONDA'S HELP TO FIX IT FOR GOOD SINCE NO OTHER MECHANIC CAN FIGURE IT OUT AND WE HAVE SPENT MONEY BACK TO BACK ON THE SAME THING. THIS YEAR MAKE AND MODEL WAS TERRIBLE FOR TRANSMISSION FAILURES. I FEEL IT IS WRONG TO HAVE YOUR CUSTOMERS BUY TRANSMISSIONS THAT HAVE TO BE THE SAME THAT CAME OUT OF THE VEHICLE, AND WE ARE WASTING ALL OF OUR TIME AND MONEY TO DO SO, BECAUSE ANY TRANSMISSION WE BUY IS ALREADY MESSED UP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 HONDA ACCORD. UPON PERFORMING AN OIL CHANGE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THE OIL WAS TWO QUARTS LOW. THE CONTACT ADDED MORE OIL TO THE VEHICLE, BUT HAD TO CONSTANTLY ADD APPROXIMATELY ONE OR TWO MORE QUARTS EVERY COUPLE OF WEEKS. IT WAS UNKNOWN IF A LEAK WAS PRESENT.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE FAILURE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 78,000. *LN UPDATED 7/23/18*JB *TR

HELLO I NEED TO SUBMIT A NEAR COLLISION INCIDENT CAUSED BY A TRANSMISSION LOCKUP ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH. I DON'T KNOW YOUR VIN TRACKING METHODS, BUT YOU HAVE NOT ACCOUNTED FOR ALL OF THEM, PARTICULARLY MINE. REFER TO: NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: 04V-176 MFR CAMPAIGN ID: P38 CAMPAIGN DSCRIPTION: 03-04 ACCORD AUTO TRANS RECALL RECALL DATE: 04/13/2014 I'VE JUST HAD THIS HAPPEN TO ME IN MY 2003 ACCORD AND CAN PROVIDE PROOF BY SUBMITTING MY TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT RECORDS FROM THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER SERVICE SHOP. I WAS LUCKY THE VEHICLES BEHIND ME WERE ABLE TO AVOID REAR ENDING ME.

TRANSMISSION WAS RECALLED (NHTSA REFERENCE #04V176000) IN 2004 FOR OVER HEATING PROBLEM. THERE WAS NO FOLLOW UP TO SEE IF REPAIRS SPECIFIED IN THE RECALL WERE EFFECTIVE OVER THE EXPECTED LIFE OF THE TRANSMISSION. SYMPTOMS STARTED ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO. TRANSMISSION PAUSES BEFORE GOING INTO GEAR. THEN TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND ENGINE REVS. AFTER ONE WEEK, TRANSMISSION QUIT PULLING AS I WAS ATTEMPTING TO ENTER THE INTERSTATE. CAR WOULD NOT GET UP TO SPEED AND TRANSMISSION QUIT PULLING ENTIRELY, LEAVING ME STRANDED ON SIDE OF INTERSTATE. TRANSMISSION FLUID BLACK AND BURNT. SOUNDS LIKE GEAR JUMPING TEETH.

'TAKATA RECALL' THE AIRBAG IS NOT WORKING WHICH MAKE IT ALWAYS DISPLAY ON MY DASHBOARD WHEN AM DRIVING.

DRIVING TO WORK ON 8/5/17 AT AROUND 4 AM AND THE PASSENGER SIDE ROOF AND SEAT AIR BAGS WENT OFF FOR NO REASON. TURNED THE CAR AROUND AND TOOK IT HOME TO WHERE IT HAS SET EVERY SINCE. THE ROAD WAS SMOOTH AND I WAS APPROACHING A SET OF RAILROAD TRACKS ON ROUTE 3.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2003 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE STEERING LOCKED AND FAILED TO RESPOND. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT CRASHED THE VEHICLE INTO A GUARDRAIL. THE AIR BAG INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DEEMED THE VEHICLE DESTROYED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE HEAD, CHEST, AND SHOULDER, WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 167,000. UPDATED 09/01/17*LJ *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING OR IMPACT. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AT 866-483-4579 AND INFORMED THE CONTACT TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOP. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER ALSO ADVISED THE CONTACT NOT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER UNTIL AN INVESTIGATION WAS DONE. THE MANUFACTURER PROMISED TO CALL THE CONTACT BACK WITHIN 48 HOURS.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 88,000. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

TAKATA RECALL WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME (VEHICLE IN MOTION) ON PASEO PADRE BOULEVARD IN FREMONT CALIFORNIA, MY AIRBAGS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE DEPLOYED UNEXPECTEDLY AND FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I WAS NOT INVOLVED IN ANY ACCIDENT THAT WOULD TRIGGER AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY. I BELIEVE THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED BECAUSE THEY HAVE SOME DEFECTIVE PARTS. I CONTINUE TRYING TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE WITH HONDA AND THEY IGNORE ME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED PRIOR TO BEING REPAIRED FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 15V370000 (AIR BAGS) AND 15V320000 (AIR BAGS). THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE WAS NOT REMEDIED. THE RUSSEL SMITH HONDA DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AS A SEAT BELT FAILURE. THE DEALER OFFERED TO PERFORM A DIAGNOSTIC TEST, BUT THE CONTACT DECLINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND ALSO STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO THE SEAT BELTS AND NOT THE AIR BAGS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 89,900.

AIRBAG MALFUNCTION LIGHT STAYS ON WHEN FASTENING SEAT BELT AND STARTING VEHICLE. IF FASTEN SEAT BELT PRIOR TO STARTING VEHICLE, THE LIGHT STAYS OFF.

I WAS GOING BACK HOME FROM WORK AT 5:50 AM IN THE MORNING IN MY HONDA ACCORD. I LOST CONTROL OVER MY CAR AND HIT SIDE WALK AND A MAIL BOX ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD MY CAR TOPPLED ON THE LEFT SIDE. THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW WAS UNDER MY FEET AS THE CAR TOPPLED AND THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WINDOW WAS ON THE TOP OF MY HEAD AS I WAS STANDING IN THE A TOPPLED CAR. TO COME OUT OF THE CAR I REMOVED THE HEAD REST FROM THE DRIVERS SEAT AND STARTED HITTING THE WINDOW GLASS TO BREAK IT WITH METAL PART OF THE HEAD REST. I HIT IT AS HARD POSSIBLE, I BROUGHT THE HEAD REST DOWN TO MY KNEES TO GATHER FORCE, DISTANCE AND SPEED SO THAT THE WINDOW GLASS CAN BE BROKEN AND I CAN COME OUT. I TRIED FOR FEW MINUTES BUT THE WINDOW GLASS DID NOT BREAK. I WANT BRING IT TO THE ATTENTION OF YOU ALL THAT IF A WINDOW GLASS CANNOT BE BROKEN WITH METAL IN CASE OF EMERGENCY IN THE CAR. THE TRAPPED PEOPLE WILL BURN TO DEATH. IF YOU HAVE FURTHER QUESTIONS/QUERY TO CLARIFY PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CALL ME OR WRITE TO ME AT THE FOLLOWING ADDRESS: [XXX] THANK YOU, [XXX] PS: TAKE THE ABOVE MATTER SERIOUSLY TO SAVE THE LIVES OF TRAPPED PEOPLE IN THE CAR INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I HAVE TWO HONDAS 2010 (80000) AND ANOTHER ONE IS 2003 (87000) MILES. BOTH HAVE SAME PROBLEM OF A LEAK IN ENGINE OIL. ONE HONDA (2010) HAD A CAMPAIGN SO IT WAS FIXED AS PART OF RECALL. OTHER HONDA (2003) DID NOT HAVE CAMPAIGN SO HONDA IS NOT OFFERING THE FIX FOR MANUFACTURING DEFECT RELATED PROBLEM. THIS DEFECT IS DUE TO THE INCORRECT OIL SEAL USED IN THE HONDA AND THEY ARE NOT FIXING AND CREATING THE RISK FOR DRIVERS.

THE LIGHT OF AIRBAG S ON FROM YESTERDAY WHILE DRIVING

UPON SLOWING, TRANSMISSION SHIFTS VIOLENTLY FROM 3 TO 2 AND 2 TO 1. ALSO, UNDER LIGHT OR STEADY THROTTLE, WILL SWITCH BACK AND FORTH FROM 1 TO 2, AGAIN VIOLENTLY (VIOLENTLY DEFINED AS LIKE DUMPING THE CLUTCH IN A MANUAL TRANSMISSION). THIS HAPPENS AFTER IT WARMS UP. THE CAR HAS 98.8K MILES ON IT, MAINTAINED AT HONDA THE ENTIRE LIFE OF THE CAR.

WIPER MOTOR IN MY 2 DOOR IS NOT ON RECALL BUT THE 4 DOOR IS. HONDA WILL NOT REPLACE IT EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE SAME ISSUE THAT THE 4 DOORS HAVE. IT IS DANGEROUS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IN A TORRENTIAL DOWNPOUR WHEN THE WIPERS QUIT ON YOU BECAUSE YOU HAVE ZERO VISIBILITY. I WAS FORCED AGAIN TO STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD ON THE WAY HOME IN THE DARK SO THAT I COULD BE SAFER THEN DRIVING. THE RAIN IS COMING DOWN HARD AND FAST AND THE WIPER MOTOR GETS WET THEN SHORTS OUT NO MATTER WHAT SPEED OR WHAT TYPE OF ROAD. THE RECALL IS A SHIELD PLACED ON IT UNLESS IT IS CORRODED ALREADY THEN REPLACED. I WANT SOMETHING DONE. TIRED OF STRESSING OVER ALL THE POOR QUALITY ISSUES HONDA HAS HAD WITH THIS CAR. INCLUDING THE RECALL ON THE RECALL FOR THE AIRBAG I JUST FOUND BECAUSE I CAME TO SEE IF MY WIPER MOTOR HAD FINALLY BEEN RECALLED. THIS WAS AN ISSUE MY SON HAD WHEN HE OWNED THE CAR ALSO. THE MILEAGE ON THIS VEHICLE JUST KEEPS GOING UP AND UP BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR YEARS AND NOTHING WILL BE DONE ABOUT IT. I AM GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE IT IN FOR REPAIRS AND PAY OUT OF POCKET BECAUSE I JUST CAN'T TRUST WHEN IT WILL NOT WORK AGAIN. PLEASE HELP ME I AM DISABLED AND DON'T HAVE MONEY FOR ALL THIS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE AIR BAG INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND BLINKED. THE FAILURE RECURRED WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED AND THE INDICATOR WOULD REMAIN ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 150,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO SHIFT GEARS WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,000.

TRANSMISSION RECALL- SECOND OWNER OF 2003 HONDA ACCORD. BOUGHT IT AT 76,000 MILES, NOW AT 95,000 MILES. I'M NIGHT DRIVING AT 75MPH IN THE FAST LANE WITH A CONSTANT FLOW OF TRAFFIC INCLUDING BIG RIGS. NEAR THE END OF A CONSTRUCTION MEDIAN WHICH WAS PLACED PRECISELY ON THE LEFT LINE OF THE LANE, MY CAR JOLTS BACKWARDS AS IF I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES. FREAKED OUT, I THOUGHT MAYBE I RAN SOMETHING OVER. THEN 2 MINUTES LATER MY CAR JOLTS BACKWARDS AGAIN LIKE A FAST EMERGENCY BRAKE. I COULD FEEL MY BODY LOCK AGAINST MY SEATBELT. I SAFELY GET TO THE SHOULDER AND PANIC AS I AM AN HOUR FROM HOME AND I'M IN THE GHETTO. AS I PULL BACK ON TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY MY CAR IS AT A CONSTANT REV OF 5 AND MAKING A LOUD AWFUL MACHINE NOISE. I TRY TO PUT IT IN REVERSE AND IT DOESN'T REVERSE. I TURN IT OFF THEN TRY AGAIN, IT WORKS ONCE THEN DOESN'T DO ANYTHING. I GET TOWED TO HONDA, I SAW HOW THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD A JET KIT INSTALLED BECAUSE OF A 2004 RECALL WHICH STATES IF UNDER 15,000MI INSTALL A JET KIT, IF OVER, EXAMINE THE GEARS AND OR REPLACE TRANSMISSION. REPLACE. BECAUSE OF THIS RECALL WHICH WAS MORE SO A BANDAID OF THE PROBLEM, MY MINT CONDITION CAR IS ALL MONEY BAGS. I DO NOT THINK HONDA WILL DO ANOTHER RECALL OR PAY PARTIALLY FOR THE REPAIR. 95,000 MILES! I READ ON CAR COMPLAINTS HOW MANY PEOPLE HAD THESE SAME ISSUES WITH HONDA AMERICA AND HONDA DEALERSHIPS. THIS IS NOT RIGHT! IF YOU CREATE AND SELL A DANGEROUSLY FAULTY PRODUCT, FIX AND REPLACE THEM! NHTSA RECALL #: 04V176000 HONDA RECALL #: P38

HONDA DENYING WARRANTY REPAIR FOR SEAT BELT ERROR CODE DTC 54-50 MALFUNCTION FOR THE SRS (FOR WHICH I WAS ALSO CHARGED $65 BY DEALER TO APPLY DIAGNOSTIC CODE ANALYZER). USER MANUAL STATES BROADLY: "SEAT BELT LIMITED WARRANTY -- A SEAT BELT THAT FAILS TO FUNCTION PROPERLY IS COVERED FOR THE USEFUL LIFE OF THE CAR." HONDA STATES SUCH LIFETIME WARRANTY PER LAW ALLOWS IT TO LIMIT REPAIRS TO THE BELT STRAP MATERIAL AND THE METAL BUCKLE ONLY, AND LAW DOES NOT EXTEND TO EMBEDDED ELECTRIC CONTROLS WHICH ENGAGE RESTRAINT WHEN BRAKING OR SEND AUDIBLE ALARM TO USER WHEN OPERATING WITHOUT BUCKLE BEING INSERTED.

"TAKATA RECALL". PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY, WITH OR WITHOUT ANYONE SITTING IN THE SEAT. AFRAID TO HAVE ANY ONE SIT IN PASSENGER SEAT FOR FEAR THAT THE AIRBAG WILL NOT PROPERLY DEPLOY AND INFLATE WHEN NECESSARY.

TAKATA RECALL AIRBAGS DYSFUNCTIONAL BUT NOT REPLACED BY HONDA, FRONT AND REAR BRAKE CALIPERS SEIZED UP RESULTING IN EXCESSIVE BRAKE PAD WEAR AND DAMAGE TO ROTORS. ~$3000 BRAKE JOB QUOTED FOR A HONDA WITH ONLY ~150K MILES

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE, THE CONTACT WAS CUT OFF BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL AND CRASHED INTO THE CONCRETE MEDIAN. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN HOME WHERE AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC REPAIRED THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 240,000.

I'M THE THIRD OWNER OF A 2003 HONDA ACCORD V6 EX COUPE. AT 151000 MILES MY TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO FAIL. IT WOULD SLAM IT'S WAY FROM 5TH GEAR TO 1ST. LUCKILY NOBODY WAS BEHIND ME. I WAS GOING 60 MPH FROM THE SHELL STATION .5 MILES FROM MY HOUSE, AND SLOWED TO 30 BY THE TIME MY CAR WAS IN 1ST IN A CURVE. I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. COME WEB TO FIND OUT THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD UNRESOLVED PROBLEM THAT IS ENDANGERING EVERYONE IN AND AROUND THESE VEHICLES. I CALLED HONDA AND THEY SAID IN 2004 THE VEHICLE ALREADY HAD THE RECALL PERFORMED, BUT MUCH LIKE THE THOUSANDS OF OTHER PEOPLE WHO ENDED UP WITH THIS CAT IT DID NOT FIX THE FAULTY TRANSMISSION AND HONDA KNOWS THAT THE ISSUE STILL EXISTS AND WANTS PEOPLE TO CONTINUE PAYING TO GET THE SAME PROBLEMATIC REBUILT TRANSMISSION. I CAN NOT BELIEVE EVERY ONE OF THESE TRANSMISSIONS HAVEN'T BEEN RECALLED, AND IF NEEDED I WILL PURSUE LEGAL ACTION AGAINST HONDA ESPECIALLY HAVING A 1 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN A KNOWN ROLLING DEATH TRAP. ONCE IT GETS TO FIRST IT FLASHES D ON THE DASH AND THE CHECK ENGINE COMES ON. MY TCS AND ABS IS ALSO TRIPPED BY THIS ISSUE CAUSING FURTHER RISK OF ENDANGERING OTHER DRIVERS AND MYSELF. EVERY SEARCH I HAVE MADE ON THIS VEHICLE DAYS THE SAME AS I'M SAYING NOW, BUT AT VARYING STAGES. PLEASE HELP GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVED NOT JUST FOR MYSELF BUT FOR EVERYONE WHO OWNS THIS PARTICULAR HONDA. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE THIS IS THE FIRST YEAR MODEL OF THE HONDA ACCORD V6 EX COUPE. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY PARKED AND WON'T BE MOVED UNTIL A RECALL OR I SWAP THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION OUT FOR A MANUAL TRANSMISSION THAT I CAN'T AFFORD, BUT I DEFINITELY CAN'T AFFORD TO REPLACE MY CAR OR CONTINUE TO PAY TO REPLACE THE SAME FAULTY TRANSMISSION. THIS IS AN OUTRAGE. *TR

WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR STOPPED WORKING. DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 5 IN SEATTLE. DARK AND RAINY, WIPERS JUST STOPPED WORKING. CAR ALREADY HAD A RECALL TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING. BUT STILL IT HAPPENED. FAILED RECALL. HAD TO REPLACE MOTOR FOR WINDSHIELD AT DEALERSHIP. I HAVE THE OLD PART. THIS SHOULDN'T HAVE HAD TO HAPPEN. REALLY SCARY GOING 60 MPH AT NIGHT, WITH RAIN FALL TO SUDDENLY LOSE THE CAR WIPERS. THANK YOU GOD IM ALIVE AND KEEP MY GLASS CLEAN. *TR

TAKATA RECALL I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN I LOST CONTROL OF MY CAR. THIS RESULTED IN MY AIR BAG BEING DEPLOYED AS I CAME INTO COLLISION WITH A GUARD RAIL ON A CITY STREET. LUCKILY, ONLY THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. THIS RESULTED IN MY WINDSHIELD BEING CRACKED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT 70 MPH AND WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE, THE TRANSMISSION SEEMED TO LOCK, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STOP ON THE FREEWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 133,000.

MY SON WAS DRIVING ON TURNPIKE RAMP. WHEEL SEEMED TO LOCK UP AND HE LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. CAR WAS GOING ABOUT 15-20 MPH. HE HIT GUARD RAIL AND BOTH AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THE DAMAGE WAS NOT EXTENSIVE ENOUGH (NO HOOD DAMAGE, SOME BUMPER DAMAGE, NO LIGHTS CRACKED). I HAD CALLED AND SPOKE WITH A SERVICE MAN NAMED GEORGE WHO SAID THEY ARE OVERWHELMED AND THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG PARTS IN MY RECALL AND HE WOULD CALL ME. HE DID NOT AND THIS ACCIDENT OCCURRED. NOW I AM AT RISK OF THEM TOTALING THE CAR DUE TO AIRBAGS DEPLOYING THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE RESOLVED IN THE FIRST PLACE. NOT A HAPPY CAMPER WITH NO RELIEF FROM COGGIN HONDA - WHO COULD HAVE KILLED MY SON IN THIS ACCIDENT.

THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY AIRBAG INFLATOR'S AND I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THAT THEY TOOK CARE OF IT AND THEN A FEW WEEKS LATER I WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT I WAS HIT IN THE FRONT OF MY CAR AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY I FEEL LIKE THIS IS VERY UNSAFE HONDA IS THE BRAND THAT I TRUSTED AND THEY FAILED ME

MY 2003 HONDA ACCORD LX CRASHED ON 10/01/2016 ABOUT 18 MONTHS AFTER I HAD MY AIRBAG SERVICED AT A LOCAL HONDA DEALER 4/7/2015. WHEN I GOT MY CAR BACK FROM THE DEALER, THE DRIVER DOOR HAD NO POWER AND COULD NOT BE OPENED REMOTELY OR WITH THE POWER LOCK CONTROL ON THE DRIVER DOOR. MORE IMPORTANTLY, NO SAFETY SIGNALS CAME ON WHEN THE CAR STARTED. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME I HAD TO PAY $80 TO HAVE IT CHECKED; I THEN CALLED AMERICAN HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE, WHO ONLY DOCUMENTED THE COMPLAINT AND TOOK NO ACTION TO REMEDY MECHANICAL MISTAKE BY HONDA DEALER. I WAS DRIVING ON A DOWNHILL CURVE ON A WET ROAD AFTER A RAIN. WHEN I SAW A SLOWER CAR AHEAD OF ME, I GENTLY APPLIED THE BRAKE TO MAINTAIN A CONSTANT FOLLOWING DISTANCE. THE CAR DRIFTED TO THE LEFT TOWARD ONCOMING TRAFFIC. BUT WHEN I TRIED STEER TO GET BACK TO THE RIGHT LANE AND TRIED TO PRESS ON THE BRAKE, IT LOCKED UP, THEN THE CAR WENT INTO NEUTRAL AND I HAD NO BRAKE AND STEERING RESISTANCE WAS COMPLETELY LAX. MY CAR WENT OFF ROAD AND CRASHED INTO THE WOODS. THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. I WAS CONFINED IN BED WITH PAIN ONE WHOLE DAY. MY TRANSMISSION HAD LOCKED UP, THEN WENT INTO NEUTRAL, TWICE BEFORE ON 1/14/2015 IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC, AND ON 9/15/2016 IN MY DRIVEWAY. WE NEVER RECEIVED A LETTER FROM HONDA FOR THE TRANSMISSION RECALL; HOWEVER, WE DID RECEIVE LETTERS REGARDING THE AIRBAG RECALL, THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL, AND THE WIPER MOTOR RECALL. A YEAR AGO, THE RECALLS CAME UP USING MY VIN#. THE DATABASE NOW SHOWS NO RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE AT ALL. AFTER MY CAR CRASH, I HAD IT TOWED TO HONDA DEALERSHIP ON 10/4/2016 FOR REPAIR ESTIMATE. I LEFT MY CAR AND TITLE WITH DEALERSHIP; LESS THAN 48 HOURS LATER I CALLED TO GET CAR BACK FOR CRASH INVESTIGATION AND LAWSUIT, THE CAR HAD BEEN DESTROYED BY HONDA DEALER CLOSING ALL FURTHER INQUIRIES. AMERICAN HONDA TOOK NO RESPONSIBILITY WHEN I CONTACTED THEM. *TR

TRANSMISSION - WHILE DRIVING I'D PULLED OVER AND THE CAR SLOW TO A STOP WHILE THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN GEAR,I PLACE THE GREA LEVER IN PARK THEN BACK INTO DRIVE AND ALL THAT HAPPEN WAS A WINEING SOUND FROM THE TRANSMISSION I TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND SAT THERE FOR A WHILE, STARTED THE ENGINE WAS ABLE TO GO SOME DISTANCE MORE AND THE CAR STARTED TO WINE AGAIN MADE IT HOME AFTER THREE STOP LET THE CAR REST AND THEN GO AGAIN.HAD THE TRANSMISSION REBUILD ,YEARS LATER TRANMISSION WENT OUT AGAIN HAD TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION AGAIN.THIS ALL HAPPEN ON CITY STREET LAST REPAIR WAS 09/23/2016 BY BRAKE STOP AUTO REPAIR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED INTO PARK. IN ADDITION, WHEN THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED, THE RPMS ACCELERATED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS UNDETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,000.

TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH. 5 CAR PILE UP, ME BEING THE LAST CAR HIT THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME. MY AIRBAG DIDN'T DEPLOY HOWEVER THE PASSENGER SIDE DID.

I HAD A CAR ACCIDENT IN A PARKING LOT ON SEPTEMBER 8, 2016. I WAS TURNING AND HIT A POLE ON THE FRONT FENDER OF THE DRIVERS SIDE OF MY CAR. I WAS GOING APPROXIMATELY 15 MILES AN HOUR. THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED AND BROKE BOTH BONES IN MY RIGHT ARM. IT FRACTURES MY RADIUS & ULNA. MINUTES LATE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WENT OFF AND BROKE THE WINDSHIELD. I WAS TAKEN BY AMBULANCE TO THE HOSPITAL, WHERE I HAD SURGERY. THEY HAD TO PUT TWO METAL PLATES & SCREWS IN MY ARM. I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL FOR 3 DAYS AND OUT OF WORK ON MEDICAL UNTIL NOVEMBER 28, 2016 I STILL HAVE PAIN IN MY ARM AND FINGERS. ARTHRITIS HAS SET IN MY FORE FINGER . I REALLY FEEL THAT THESE AIRBAGS WERE DEFECTIVE. I'D APPRECIATE IT IF YOU WOULD INVESTIGATE MY CLAIM. THANK YOU, UPDATED 03/15/17*LJ *TR

I WAS DRIVING IN HEAVY RAIN AND MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING AND I COULD NOT SEE A THING. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH THAT OTHER CARS WENT AROUND ME ON THE HIGHWAY. I CALLED MY LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THAT THEIR IS NOT A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE AND WANTED TO CHARGE ME AN OUTRAGEOUS AMOUNT TO REPLACE THE WIPER MOTOR. THERE IS CURRENTLY A RECALL ON THIS FOR 2003 HONDA ACCORDS NO. Q78 WHEN THE MOTOR GETS WET IT STOPS WORKING BUT FOR SOME REASON IT DOES NOT INCLUDE MY VEHICLE VIN NUMBER. ALSO I HAD A LEAK IN MY POWER STEERING AND TOOK IT IN FOR THE RECALL AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE PUMP AND ENDED UP CHARGING ME $500.00 TO FIX BUT IT IS STILL LEAKING.
